It's the day Lily's been waiting for for years! She is starting Hogwarts! But her brothers are being morons, and she feels hopelessly lost. The second generation was never told of Voldemort or the second war. The whole group of people from the HP books swore to keep their children from finding out the truth and being put into danger. The kids don't know their families' role in the war, or even where the true location was! But the remaining Death Eaters are still around, and their one last goal is to destroy what Harry Potter loves most- his family. Can Lily and her family discover the truth and protect themselves? This is Lily Luna Potter's first year.

Lily Luna: First Year

2. Boarding the Hogwarts Express

I finished packing and started to push my trunk out of the room. "Lily dear, hurry up!" Mum yelled.

"I wish! This trunk weighs more than Albus!" I yelled. Albus, who was behind me, wrinkled his nose at this remark.

"James, help your sister with her trunk!" mum yelled.

"Make Albus do it!"

"Help your sister, Albus."

"Make James do it."

"No, make Albus do it!"

"Hex him to the next dimension Albus!"

James grabbed the trunk and ran down with it. I picked up Harpy's cage, and she cooed. I reached through the bars and stroked her feathers. She playfully pecked my finger. I ran downstairs and Albus followed. We fitted our things into dads car (It had an enlargement charm cast on it) and all got in. Soon we were all walking over to the barrier between platform 9 and 10. I grabbed my trolley and ran through.

I had been at Platform 9 ¾ plenty, but this time was different. All those times I had been jealous of my brothers, and upset that I wasn't going too. This time it was me who would be boarding the Hogwarts Express for the first time, not them.

"Where are they?" Mum paced.

"Calm down Ginny, look," dad pointed. A family of four was walking over to us. You could see the man's red hair from a mile away.

"All right Harry?" said Uncle Ron once the family arrived. Hugo walked over to me right away. Aunt Hermione patted his head and turned her attention back to her husband and friends. Rose, Hugo, James, Albus, and I stood a bit farther away.

Rose was very cranky today. "This chum here woke me at the crack of dawn!" she pointed at Hugo.

"Welcome to our world," my two brothers muttered.

"Lily always makes sure we're up early, but never like today. 6:00 AM! Can you believe it?" Albus complained. I blushed beat red.

"I can't help it!" I whined, "Hugo understands, right?" I asked Hugo. He nodded. I decided to change the topic to the rest of the family.

"Cousin Nicky is apparently head girl this year," I informed everyone. 'Nicky' was the nickname for our cousin Dominique. We all laughed. No one thought Dominique was head girl material being part veela with her blonde pigtails with dark blue streaks in them. Her punk make up and 'I don't care' style also made her different. Of course none of us were surprised when Molly declared she was a prefect. She was Perfect Uncle Percy's daughter after all. We also knew cousins Roxanne and Lucy were first years too. So were my namesake Luna Lovegood's twin boys, Lorcan and Lysander Scamander.

Soon James went to join Cousin Louis and his friends, while Rose and Albus left to find Scorpius Malfoy. Hugo and I saw our other cousins arrive. Fred Weasley 2 and Roxanne arrived with Uncle George and Aunt Angelina. Roxanne almost immediately joined us. Molly and Lucy also arrived with Uncle Percy and Aunt Audrey. Of course Molly was on her way to the prefects cart as soon as possible, but Lucy slowly pushed her trolley over to our area. We all started helping each other get our things onto the a few minutes our trunks were stowed, and the four of us were sitting together in a compartment. Hugo left to bid his parents farewell.

Meanwhile Roxanne, Lucy, and I talked about which house we'd be in. Roxanne and I immediately settled on Gryffindor, but Lucy couldn't choose between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.

"They both sound nice!" She exclaimed. Once Hugo joined us we asked him the House question. Hugo also was drawn to Gryffindor.

As the train departed we looked out the window and waved to our families. I remembered my mum's farewell hug and how she sobbed into dad's shoulder. How dad gave me a little speech and a goodbye like he did to Albus before me, and James before Albus. I waved and blew a kiss.

I was a bit angry with my brothers. They had promised to be there for me, and I hadn't seen either one since we bid our family goodbye. I expected this from James, but Albus? Hugo seemed just as disappointed with Rose as I with Albus. Lucy seemed like she really wanted to see her sister, and even Roxanne seemed to want her prankster brother to visit her. When the trolley came by, we all bought a few sweets and split them between the four of us.

As I was nibbling on a Bertie Botts Every Flavor Bean, I saw a bit of blonde hair whiz by. Was it Scorpius with Rose and Albus? No. In a minute two blonde haired boys opened our door. Lorcan and Lysander Scamander were looking at us longingly. They introduced themselves and Lucy seemed to find how smart they were interesting. Soon the three left to find Lorcan and Lysander's compartment.

"And then there were three," Roxanne laughed. Hugo seemed disappointed.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"Well," he sighed, "It's Rose. She promised me she'd sit with me on the train and always stick with me. You know, help me out, and now she wont even show her face."
I nodded.

"Albus and James promised the same. Of course I knew James wouldn't keep his promise, but I was so certain Albus had meant it. I feel so unwanted," I blurted out.

"Freddie even agreed to come get me when the trolley came to him. It came to him hours before us you know," Roxanne added her sibling dilemma.

I tugged a lock of my curly red hair and watched Roxanne chew a strand of her own dark brown locks. Hugo ruffled his brown hair and his brown eyes seemed teary. I longed for James mischievous brown eyes behind his glasses, and his hair which he loved to comb. I wanted to see Albus with his messy jet black hair and his emerald eyes that seemed to twinkle when he got an idea. If I could, I'd love to bring Hugo his bushy red haired sister. Even Slick red hair Fred was a great person right now, no matter how annoying his watery blue eyes could get. Really, anyone we knew would be fine.

In an hour Roxanne, Hugo, and I changed into our robes. Just fifteen minutes later we greeted Hagrid, who asked me if dad had told me to come for tea tomorrow. Then the three of us got in a boat with another boy. As we paddled we asked the boys name and he answered Travis. We silently paddled to the castle. How lovely.
