Sorry. I owe all you wonderful feed backers' a huge apology. Due to unforeseen real life circumstances, I haven't been able to get down to writing the subsequent chapters. The chapter I am posting now is a small but significant one, when the overall picture of the fic is taken into account. I will try to update frequently from now onwards but before that I once again thank all of you for your wonderful feedbacks.

Note: The chapter is a look at the past and I will try to keep you updated on the timeline as we are going to traverse back and forth.

mysteriousperson95: Thank you for the wonderful feedback. The next chapter is Lily's interaction with one of her brothers', so stay tuned.

Dramione15: Thanks for that wonderful compliment.

amber'eyed'countess: I would probably include that at some point in the future but in a way that doesn't stop the storyline.

wishfulthinking123: Lily's character is the main focus of this fic and hopefully you can see her character evolve and maybe she will bang a door at somebody's face as well.

Twlightexpert, gryffindorpride1007 and bratzandhp4eva123: A big thank you for your appreciative and encouraging comments.

And, now the fic proceeds:

Lily Luna Potter knew why her dad was famous. He himself had revealed it a few days ago, days before she began her life at Hogwarts. Lily though was not sure about what to do with the newly acquired knowledge. It wasn't that she hadn't noticed the inconspicuous stares and whispers wherever she went along with her dad but like any ten-year old, she had felt proud that her dad was famous and never bothered to find out the reason behind it. After all, her hyper-imaginative mind had a very reasonable and very satisfying story for it. But, her preconceived notions suffered a serious beating a few days ago.

To Lily, Harry James Potter was a loving father who kept evils like her notorious brothers at bay. She just couldn't picture him killing another human being. Her dad who had become extremely agitated when she had grazed her knee slightly while playing, had killed another person! All this was quite unfathomable to her mind. She decided to go to her father's study and talk to him.

Her father was not in the study. She decided to wait for him and thereby delay the inevitable conversation that would follow. As she glanced around the study, her eyes fell on what looked like a diary. It was torn through the middle. The diary belonged to a one 'Tom Marvolo Riddle' who Lily now knew to be none other than Lord Voldemort. Interested, she slowly turned the page of the diary, where there was an entry. It read-

It felt wonderful. She was my first kill.

She lived in the orphanage with me and for some reason; my heart skipped a beat every time she as much as glanced at me. Some unusual feelings entered my being and I didn't like it one bit. I shouldn't feel protective of another person. It can only lead to trouble. And while I liked the rush of getting into trouble, I always did it alone. I was more powerful then these simpletons. Why hadn't Professor Dumbledore said so himself?

She fell down while running around and playing a stupid game. And of course, she had to cry. I would normally give the person crying a contemptuous glare before resuming my work. But for some reason, I felt the need to wipe her tears away, hold her and tell her that everything's going to be fine. Holding onto that impulse, I stayed where I was. It was at that moment I decided that she had to die.

And die, she did. It only took a little effort and it was done. It was done cleanly and without much effort. I was a little disappointed that she didn't fight. She was surprised all right but other than that he couldn't detect any emotions on her pale face. At that moment, I felt like God, with the power to take lives, just like that.

Lily slammed the diary shut and placed it on the desk. She wiped her tears away and ran to her room. So, that's the man that her dad had killed. No, her dad hadn't killed a person, he had killed a monster. She should be proud of him and she was. All was clear.

She headed downstairs, jumping two steps as a time as usual and walked towards the kitchen to find her dad, reading the newspaper while drinking his favorite iced-tea. He looked up as she entered and gave her his usual cheerful smile and returned his gaze back towards the paper. Lily walked over to her dad and gave him a big hug. Harry almost spilled the tea in surprise while he returned the unexpected hug. After Lily pulled away, Harry looked at his princess closely and said,

"What's the matter, honey?"

Lily gave a little shrug, just about managing to hold onto her tears, before saying quietly,

"Nothing, Dad. Just felt like it."

Hope all of you liked it. The story will start flowing fast from now on. I will post the next chapter as soon as I can.

Cheers.
