Lily Luna Potter and the Lost Hallow

Chapter One - Welcome to Dragon Prep

This is set before the epilogue in Deathly Hallows when Lily is five, Albus is seven and James is nine. Did you know there actually is a school called DRAGON SCHOOL, it's where Emma Watson went to school.

Lily Luna Potter had always been the most stubborn of Harry Potter's children; the one most like her mother, so it was no surprise to him when she when told by her mother she didn't need to attend a school prior to Hogwarts she responded thusly, "James goes. Albus goes. Even Hugo's going to go. No way am I being left behind." and that was that.

Six months later Lily stood outside the green gates of Dragon Wizarding Prep, her long dark red hair pleated and she was holding a small brown leather satchel. She turned around to wave at Harry and Ginny who were standing back over at their car. Ginny smiled back at her daughter and Harry raised a hand in encouragement. Lily turned back to face James who bent down so his face was level with hers, "Ready Lils?" She nodded. James stood back up and took her hand. Albus had already left them and had entered the school with their Rose who was in his class.

James led his sister through those green gates and into the red brick school house where after hanging up her jacket for her he left her in a classroom full of other five year olds. Lily sat down on a bean bag next to a pile of books; she picked up a copy of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" and slowly began to read through it. Lily had been taught to read last year mostly by her Aunty Hermy and she hadn't stopped since. She had almost finished "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot" when two boys came over to her. One was taller than the other and had a mop of unruly blonde hair; it was him who sat down on the bean bag next to her while his companion stood still by Lily's side. He pushed his dark curls away from his face and stuck his hands in his pockets.

Lily put down her book, "I'm Lily, do you want to play in the tent with me?" The boys looked over at each other and the dark one spoke, "I'm Seth and this is Crawford." Crawford smiled at Lily as he was introduced.

"So are you coming?" asked Lily impatiently.

"Okay." said Crawford quietly. After he said that Lily began to run across the classroom with Seth and Crawford trailing after her as she entered the play tent.

After about an hour of Lily bossing the boys around it was time for lessons to begin. Begrudgingly Lily led Seth and Crawford out of the tent and they took their seats. On either side of Lily sat the boys and when their teacher started reading out the register a sudden little shriek was heard. "Lily Potter, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, Miss." giggled Lily.

"Lily Potter, do not lie to me."

"I'm not lying, Ms. Brown."

"Lily Potter, leave this class and go to the headmistress' office. Just look for James and you'll be there." Lily got up angrily and after glaring at Ms. Brown she left the classroom.

Both Crawford and Seth jumped up, "But Lily didn't do anything!" they shouted simultaneously.

"Mr. McLaggen and Mr. Pendragon, now you can join your shrieking friend at the office." Crawford and Seth stormed out and as they made their way down the hall they heard a large bang. Ms. Brown's chair had fallen apart when she had sat back down on it; the bang was followed by a howl of laughter from their classmates.

Once they reached the office they found Lily sitting outside the door. "Sorry Lily, we shouldn't have tickled you." said Crawford.

Lily's face lit up, "Did you hear the bang?" she smiled. Realising that it was Lily who had made it happen they too grinned like idiots and sat down on either side of her. As Harry would later come to say, "They can't control their magic." but they could make choices for themselves and on that day a choice was made that would shape their lives from that day on.
