Still own nothing. Except a couple of OCs thrown in. But they were all inspired by Harry Potter. So, yeah, I own nothing.

Review!

Lily Luna Potter

1. Lily, ever since she was a little girl, was known as the beautiful, invincible little Potter princess. The apple of her daddy's eye, she could get away with murder. She was, rather, closer to James than she was to Albus growing up, and she cried for days when he went away to school. James treated Lily with the same casual disdain with which he treated everyone, but Lily didn't care. Not at first. Eventually, she grew tired of his treatment of her, and left him behind. He realized, too late, that he no longer held Lily's particular regard and attempted to repair the relationship, but it was too late. Lily would no longer give him the time of day.

She could hold a grudge like her Uncle Percy.

2. Lily was absolute rubbish at Quiddich. She was built like her father, small and skinny, and everyone expected her to follow in his footsteps as a Seeker. Lily liked to say it was her brothers' fault for never letting her use the family broom to practice. James liked to say it Lily's fault for having the shittiest sense of balance in the history of the Potter name. When Lily was eleven, she became fed up with her friends' Quiddich obsessions and set the Hogwarts Quiddich field on fire. She was very nearly expelled and it was only Harry making a special trip to school to do some intense name-dropping that kept her from being on the first train back to Godric's Hollow. The Potter princess couldn't be expelled.

She was invincible.

3. The first time Lily ever made a boy cry, just for the hell of it, she smirked around at her laughing friends in the Common Room, but that night, alone in her dormitory she sobbed. She had broken the boy's heart, but, though she hadn't even liked the him very much, somehow she had broken her own heart a thousand times worse.

4. At a glance, everyone gushed about how she resembled her mother so, and how she was obviously Ginny's daughter. Lily had never seen much a resemblance between herself and her mother, other than, perhaps, they both had strong personalities. Her mother was bold and brazen. Lily was rather typical of Slytherin House, manipulative and proud. Her eyes were a greenish hazel, not at all her mother's honey-brown, and her features were small and fragile, instead of the wide-eyed, full-lipped, bold beauty that her mother boasted. Sometimes, she caught her father staring at her, as though she were someone he had known long ago. Lily didn't understand his scrutiny.

She couldn't understand, either, why Professor Slughorn still got misty eyed when she walked in a room, even after seven years in his House.

5. Lily loved her hair. It was long and yellow, like a just-peeled banana, and it was her favorite feature. She loved her freckle free cheeks and her hazel eyes that changed color with whatever shirt she was wearing. But at the same time, Lily hated being the odd man out. She was the lone towhead in a sea of gingers and sometimes she found herself staring at her cousin Rose's vivid, Weasley-red, locks with the strangest feeling in the pit of her stomach.

It might have been jealousy.

6. Lily always knew exactly what she would do when she graduated. She would become an auror, just like her father. It was not out of any hero-worship for who had dad was, but rather, out of an honest adoration for kicking ass. She joined the trainee program just out of Hogwarts and was the only person from her class at Hogwarts to make it through; at least twelve dropped out. For the first time, her accomplishment was all of her own merit. She made it through simply because she was the best, not because of who her father was. When she was given her badge, Harry wrapped an arm around his little girl and told her he was proud of her. Lily tried her best not to care, after all, that wasn't why she had done it at all, but at the same time, she felt traitorous tears pricking her eyes.

7. His name was Jack Reeves. He was muggleborn, no relation to the Potter's or the Weasley's. He was intense and frightening, tall and intimidating. His hair and eyes were as dark as Lily's were fair. He was the coordinator of the Auror Trainee program and Lily beat him in a mock duel in front of the entire class of recruits. Lily fell in love slowly, but completely and when he finally asked her to dinner, after their roles as mentor and student were finished and she was a full-fledged auror, she kissed him full on the mouth.

She was pleasantly surprised when he kissed her back.

8. Their's was a relationship born of tense circumstances. They were constantly running into dangerous circumstances, regardless of consequences. They were young. They were reckless. They were invincible.

And they were fools.

9. Harry immediately brought Jack into the Potter/Weasley fold. It never crossed his mind to be angry when they announced their engagement. Instead, he was nearly as excited as Lily, and he baffled every father in the vicinity when he embraced Jack like a father would a son. Harry was mostly excited because he wanted to retire eventually and Jack was the most promising replacement he'd found.

Having him in the family would just make him easier to control.

10. It was a small wedding on All Hallow's Eve, the forty-fifth anniversary of the death of Harry's parents. Jack's partner, Scorpius Malfoy was his best man, and Lily shocked everyone by asking Louis Weasley to be her maid of honor.

She'd never been conventional.

11. It was supposed to be easy. Get in, get out. Naturally, it didn't really go down that way. The Rabastan Lestrange had escaped from Azkaban. He was hiding out in an abandoned muggle warehouse. It was supposed to be so simple. Lily and Jack had done countless missions like it. Lily was killed when the building collapsed around her, and Jack was killed in a suicidal rescue mission. She was twenty years old. Jack was twenty-seven. Harry made it to the scene just in time to see the building go up in flames. Lily and Jack's funeral was joint, just as they would have wished, and most of the attendees could hardly cry for their shock. Lily was, after all, the little Potter princess, strong and invincible. Her story had been covered by The Daily Prophet, as wizards all over the country mourned the death of the daughter of the Boy Who Lived.

Lily wasn't made to live very long.

12. When Lily first saw her father's mother, she didn't feel so sad about losing her family temporarily. She finally realized why her father teared up sometimes upon looking at her. She grabbed Jack's hands, and tugged him to what was no longer Unknown, ready to face death just as they had faced life: head on. They were invincible, after all.

Yeah, I didn't think all of Ginny and Harry's kids could make it to old age. Not if they were anything like their parents anyway. But still, Lily was probably my favorite character. So this one was really hard for me. I've been thinking about expanding her story into a multi-chapter fic, mostly taking place during her Auror training and her life with Jack. Let me know what you think.
