A/N Here is Chapter 2, Lily Luna Potter, and the sorting experience that 'teaches her a lesson.' Please review, because that helps me to write! After Lily is Hugo. I originally wanted Hugo first but since they're in the same year, Potter is before Weasley so Lily goes first.


Chapter 2- Lily Luna Potter

Lily Luna Potter was the picture of composure as she waited to be sorted. Her expression was relaxed as she glanced around the room, searching for people she knew.

Al was conversing in quiet whispers with his two best friends, Scorpius and Rose, on the right side of the Gryffindor table.

Lily rolled her chocolate brown eyes. Those three were always getting into some sort of heroic adventure...personally Lily thought it was because Al and Rose were trying to live up to their parents...but what did she know?

A lot.

Her eldest brother, James Potter, was sitting at the opposite end of the Gryffindor table with his three best friends...or the 'Third-Gen Marauders'. James had wanted to call it the 'Next-gen Marauders' but apparently when Teddy was in school he and his friends used that name.

James was laughing at something that Fred had said, and it appeared that Frank Longbottom, and Erik Li were also laughing at the joke.

"Potter, Lily."

Lily smiled shakily, her inner confidence suddenly vanished. Lily tucked a strand of deep red hair behind her right ear and sat down in the chair.

The hat dropped on her head and a cold sense of dread filled her heart. What if the hat didn't put her in Gryffindor after all?

Lily snorted at her own thought. She would just makethe hat put her in Gryffindor.

You're going to make me? Is that an underhanded Slytherin quality coming out in you, flower?

"Of course not," Lily snapped, annoyed," And my name's not flower, it's Lily. Lily Potter."

Are you trying to make a point by emphasizing words that indicate an obvious fact that I already know?

Lily raised an eyebrow, taking what the worthless hat had said into consideration. " Well I wouldn't have to if you weren't so insolent."

I can't be insolent. I'm just a worthless hat, according to you.

"Stop reading my thoughts. You're job is to sort me, not to berate me."

Wow! A big word from a Potter kid...I'm impressed. Maybe you'd do well in Ravenclaw...

"Shut up...on both accounts."

No, you're right now that I look into it...you're just another Potter intelligence wise...and certainly not Hufflepuff.

"Well...that leaves Gryffindor. So it's settled."

Nothing is settled until I say so...and by the way, why don't you and you're cousin Rose switch names? Because you have some thorns on you, little Potter.

"Listen here you old hat, you're going to put me in Gryffindor."

"SLYTHERIN!"

Lily didn't move. "I don't think so. I'm not getting up until you put me in Gryffindor!"

You're an irritating pest. Get up. I have other children to sort.

"But-"

"SLYTHERIN! SLYTHERIN

Lily glared at the hat, took it off and threw it on the floor.

The students broke into a fit of laughter.

Lily made her way to the Slytherin table, stepping on the hat and sulking the entire way.

The good news is that with the influence of her friends...she learned to enjoy her House...and beating her brothers in Quidditch.
