A/N: I felt such a rush of appreciation! I absolutely love that you guys enjoy this story. I have not abandoned my other one, but I'm working on it. I also get that Lily is more than most would expect, but this is how I imagined her. Please keep being awesome!
Chapter 4
Lily's felt her heartbeat pick up. She stepped slowly up to the stool. She was trembling. Hugo looked at her with supportful eyes. She sat down. Professor McGonagall dropped the hat on her head.
"Another Potter I see. I don't think I've ever seen a girl Potter wearing this hat. I don't think you're a Gryffindor." The hat spoke.
Lily looked pained. She was going to be a Slytherin. She trembled nervously.
"Not Slytherin eh. Like your father. I wasn't going to put you there anyway. You're a difficult one aren't you. No, you're a Ravenclaw!" the hat yelled the last word for the whole hall to hear.
Lily grinned. She skipped over to the appropriate table.
"Hello," a girl said.
''Hi, I'm Lily. Lily Potter."
"I'm Abby. Abby Smith." Abby giggled.
"Are you first year?" Lily asked curiously.
"Yes." Abby replied.
"Hugo Weasley!" Professor McGonagall called.
Lily watched intently. No sooner had the hat touched his head then had it called.
"Hufflepuff!"
Hugo's eyes opened up. He quickly wandered the way to the table. Hugo was so very kind. It made sense that he was a Hufflepuff. It was only surprising, because Hugo was a Weasley. It wasn't as though anyone would care though. Hufflepuffs were good and kind.
"Aren't you going to eat anything?" Abby asked.
"I hadn't noticed food had arrived." I laughed.
We all stuffed our faces full. There wasn't much conversation going around.
"Now that you are all fed. You must be reminded of the rules." Professor McGonagall said the usual speech. (see Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone)
"Come along! I'll show you to our tower." A prefect called.
"Suppose we best go." Abby reasoned.
"Agreed." Lily laughed.
They walked through the complicated castle to their tower.
"We don't have a password. We have an enchanted knocker. It asks you a question to get in. Come along now. This here is the common room. We have the best views. There's the statue of Rowena Ravenclaw. She's our founder. Girls dorms are to the left and boys to the right. Good night." He called sauntering up the stairs.
"Come on Abby! I'm tired." Lily called.
"Alright. So am I." she replied.
The two girls wandered up the stairs to the appropriate room.
"Come here Abby. My dad showed me this cool trick." Lily announced.
Abby came running over. Lily knocked on the door and said.
"Marauder descendants request entry." Lily told the wall.
The wall opened showing a tiny room.
"I think I like you." Abby said in a mocking tone.
"Same to you. Why else would I have showed you this room?" Lily said cheekily.
"I think we should get to bed. Don't want to sleep past classes." Abby announced.
"Yeah." Lily replied.
They tucked themselves into the warm beds. Lily quickly fell asleep her dreams filled with what classes would bring. She hoped that she wouldn't completely fail at them. Though, subconsciously she knew she wouldn't.
Meanwhile… James was writing Harry a letter saying Lily was a Slytherin. It read.
Dad,
Lily got put in Slytherin. Al's in Hufflepuff. I couldn't believe either one.
James
Al had seen the note and quickly explained to Harry that Lily was in Ravenclaw. Al hadn't minded. He sometimes wishes he wasn't in Gryffindor. It seemed unfair. His brother had been here first. Now, he wouldn't. He didn't want to do the same to Lily. She needed to be separate. She's Lily.
He sent the letter off with his owl and fell into a good sleep too.
A/N: I wrote this one slightly longer. I'm not as happy with it though. If you couldn't tell, I'm basing Abby off of myself. Kind of like what J did with Hermione. I was kind of thinking that Abby should be a marauderette. Oh, and there will be a place for Neville's children. I'm working on trying to speed things up. I hope that answers any questions. If not please leave them below. Stay,
