Finaly it was the day of lillians birthaday and at the moment there were 3 people huddled in her room shushing eachother as to not wake her.
"hush now vernon your going to wake her" shushed petunia "okay now on the count of three...1...2...3""HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILLIAN!"
all of the three present shouted,each one setting, one of those mini firecraker things. lillian woke with a start, silky hair surounding her and round green eyes wide in shock trying register what had happened. finally they noticed a spark of recognition in her eyes, that dark, evil little glint was their only warning before pillows and stuffed animal were bombarded in their direction.
"get out, geez can't a girl get some sleep around here?" she puted. her uncle laughed and ruffled her hair.
"hurry up and get dressed, remember where we're going today" lillians eyes went wide and broke into a big grin.
"get out hurry i need to get dressed" she whined pushing the three people out of her room. as soon as she had them out of her room she quikly ran into her closet and pulled out the clothes she was going to wear today. she striped down to her pink lacy panties and camisole. she walked over to the bed and pulled on a pretty spaghetti strap dress that was a pretty seafoam green with forest green flowers going all around the bottom and a forest green robbon around her waist ending in a loose bow at her back and gracing her neckline. she slipped on a pair of pure white strappy sandles with an one inch thick heels. she proceeded to her vanity and sat down to brush her hair till it fell in soft ringlets to her waist. she took a plain forest green head band and put it on. she opened her jewelry box taking out little silver heart earings and her locket puting them on. she sprayed herself lightly with perfume and stood. she twirled a few times infront of the mirror she bent forword and brushed her fringe making sure it covered the lighning bolt scar. her aunt had never specified exactly how she got until recently. she was still very vague but had told her that she had gotten it when a very bad wizard atacked when she was a baby.
"lydiana"she adressed her cat who stood from the cat bed and followed her down the stairs with utter grace that she had inherited from her owner.
she went down to the living room where everyone once again congratulated her on her birthday.
"well pumpkin which will it be, presents or breakfast?"asked her aunt. she looked from the pile of gifts adorning the living room to her aunt and answered without hesitation" Presents!"
"okay sweety" lillian went and sat on the couch and reached for the first present.
"that ones from me" informed dudley. it was wraped in soft baby blue wraping paper with a red ribbon. she carfully unwraped it and opened the box taking out a beautiflu little golden box with curved legs and the lid was soft pinks with a layer of spun golden stings giving a web like look on the center of the lid was a small golden rose. she opened it sweet music was imited from its interior which was padded in blood red velvet with little comparments.
"oh dudley i love it!" she exlaimed geting up to hug her cousin
"your welcome lillian"he said hugging her back "i just thought you could probley use another jewelry box for hogwarts"
"thanks" she said sitting down again she slowly went through the pile of presants recibing various dresses, necklaces, books, shoes from friends and various relatives. she had set aside the one from her parents and the one from her aunt and uncle. she went to open her parents, it was wrapped in red with a golden ribbon. From what her aunt had told her those were Gryffindor colors. she scowled at the present thinking of the presents she had recieved in the past, it was always some sort of expensive jewelry which unfortunatly always brushed aside the thought that her parents couldnt keep her for financial reasons. she unwraped the small box to efectivly reveal a jewelry box, slowly she opened it to reveal a silver ring with an emerald set in the center with three small diamonds on each side. her aunt petunia saw it and gasped.
"that looks like it cost a fortune!"stated aunt petunia. lillian simply scowled thinking that her parents obviusly hadnt put any thought into the gift. along with the ring there was a note:
Lillian,
Happy birthday and may you have may more.
Sincerly mum, dad and Liam.
once again she scowled, they hadn't even mentioned anything about hogwarts. she looked at the ring again and noticed that the ring matched her outfit, she considered it before slipping it on, she startled when it magicaly adjusted to fit. once again she scowled, they hadn't even bothered to find the right size, she looked at her aunt and noticed that she had lifted an eyebrow.
"it matches my outfit" she stated, she then picked up her aunt and uncles present. it was slightly larger than her parents but only by bit. it was wrapped in soft pink paper and a black and white poc-a-dot ribbon. she carefully unwrapped it wanting to save the paper and ribbon for her srapbook, she found another jewelry box, she raised her brow slightly sending a look in her aunts direction. she opened the box and in it layed the most beautiful charm bracelet she had ever seen it was silver with various charms like an L; a cat; a heart with a tiny ruby in the left corner; an four leaf clover with 4 emeralds in the forn of teas drops, one on each leaf; an cherry with 2 round rubysas the cherry, a wizards hat, the north star wich had a little diamond in the center, a silver rose with a small pinkdiamond in the center and various other charms. lillian sat there with her mouth agape, slipping it on.
"a-aunt petunia this must have cost you a fortune!" she looked at her aunt and uncle, petunia simply smiled and said.
"well it's not every day that a girl turns 11 not to mention it's not every day a girl finds out she a witch"
"well i guess your right but..."
"no buts and i'm fairly sure it cost less than that ring these are tiny diamond nothing like those. now acept your gift and lets have breakfast, we're on a schedule here. we've got to get to diagon alley.
HPHPHPHPHP
lillian stood at the entry of diagon alley amazed, there were witches and wizard in robes and funny little shops selling thinks like realy old looking books, owls, robes, there were windows stacked with barrels of bat spleens and eels' eyes, there telescopes on display and quils and ink jars and several thinGs that she had never dreamed about let alone seen,
"well come on no dily dallying we've shops to visit and things to buy" petunia began dragging them to the nearest shop "okay robes first, here it say we should go to Madam Malkins" they headed tword a shop that had a sign that read: Madam Malkins Robes for all ocasions. as they entered the shop they were greeted by a grey haired and chuby witch dressed in purple robes.
"hello welcome to madam malkins, what do you wish to puchase?" she asked in a very chearful voice.
"I would like to have my niece measured for her hogwarts robes." answered petunia
"ah yes, here we go up on the stool you you go" she said ushuring lillian to a stool next to a blonde boy with silverly blue eyes."arms out"ordered madam malkin.
she looked to her left and saw a boy that looked as though he were an angel fallen from the sky, he had blond hair that fell softly to his chin, milk white skin and the bluest eyes she'd ever seen. he seemed to notice that she was watching and turned a bit to face her green orbs conecting with blue. the blonde boy seemed to stare at her for a few minutes before noticing that he was stareing. he quickly looked away, a faint blush adorning his face. lillian let out a giggle, which to the blonde boy seemed a lovely as the girl that emitted the sound. the blonde boy smiled and turned to her again ofering his hand.
" My names Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" lillian took his hand and responded.
"My names lillian Rose Potter, it a pleasure to meet you Draco" she said with a smile, as soon as he heard the name he exlaimed
"Potter as in THE Potters, if your a Potter then you must be related to Liam potter" she could hear the venom in his voice as he spat out liams name as though it were the most atrocious thing he had said in his life, she decided that for the time being she would ignore it.
"Umm yes liam happens to be my twin brother" draco looked at her in disbelief
"i've been to the Potter Manor numerous times and i've never seen you once"
"well thats logical since i've never been to the so called Potter Manor" one again he seemed to look at her in disbelief
" if your his twin how is it that you've never been to potter manor?"
"well thats simple, I've never met my brother or my parents and since I've never met the ocupants of the Manor then its very unlikely for me to have been there dont you think?"
"you've never met your parents? how is that possible?"
"For some reason they decided that it would be best to leave me on my aunt and uncles front doorstep and have them raise me as to the why i havent the tiniest clue exept tath it had to do with some dark lord or something" Draco looked at her for a few seconds before saying.
"well, i'll believe you as you are an almost exact replica of potter exept that his eyes are a hazel color and yours a emerald and your hair is silky looking while his is VERY messy and you face is more feminine, and your eyes are almond shaped while his are round..."
"your making it sound as though we dont resemble each other"
"oh not realy, you look alike but its just small things that are diferent, you have the same midnight hair and milky skin though his is a tod bit tanner your both the same hight and like i said the facial features are the same exept that yours are more feminine"
"Mr Malfoy you are finished" informed Madam jumped down from the stool
"well I'll see on the hogwarts express lillian, till then , good bye" he said bowing slightly
lillian giggled responding "till then, Draco I beg thee good bye" she curtsied a little giggling again as draco once again flushed, waving as he left the shop with his mother. lillian felt a hand on shoulder and turned to see her aunt.
"looks like you've made a friend"
"yup his names Draco Malfoy"
"well thats a nice name, well come on we still have thing to bye, why dont we head off to Flourish and blotts for your school books"
"okay" she jumped off of the stool and raced out of the shop as her uncle paided for the purchases.
when they arrived at the shop she looked at the sign, it was a tipical crest, a deep red with white linings. at the top it had an elaborate F and B intertwined, underneath were the words Diagon Alley and underneath that towards the bottom in large intricate letters was Flourish and Blotts, on the sides where 2 large grey feathers. when they went in they were greeted by the sent of old dusty books.
"Well looks like this could take a while why dont we stick here and get your school books while you look around and see if theres a book you like" petunia shood away lillian and lillian went to look at the books. she was scaning the displays when one book caught her atention on the cover was printed "Liam Sirius Potter Life of the boy who lived" she raised her eyebrow and went to reach for it when her hand collided with another. she looked up and saw a bushy brown haired girl with chocolate brown eyes.
" I'm so sorry" said lillian
"no, no its my fault" said the bushy haired girl
"no realy i apolagize"
"as do i"
"take the book"
"no, no you have it"
"i insiste" they both looked at eachother before busting out laughing
"Hermione Granger" said the girl extending her hand
"Lillian Rose Potter" she said as she shook the girls hand, hermione slowly registered the information.
"wait if your a Potter why would you need the book, i mean if your a potter surely you must be related to liam sirius potter."
"well i am a potter and i am related to Liam, i happen to be his twin sister and i was interested in the book since I've never actually met him"
"oh well okay then here" she handed lillian the book" i'll just ask the shopkeeper for another"
"thanks"she acepeted the book" your going to hogwarts right?"
"umm, yeah, i´m a muggle born"
"whats a muggle born?"
"oh well its when a witch or wizard is born into a non magical family, you would be a half blood since the potters are pureblood and the evans are muggles"
"oh okay" a thought popped up in her head" what are the malfoys?"
"oh well the Malfoys are one of the most powerful and oldest of the pureblood familys though it's rumored that they have veela blood in them."
"cool" so Dracos a pureblood" hey lets go ask the clerk about the book"
"okay" they both went to the check-out desk to find the dusleys paying for the puchases
"aunt petunia" her aunt turned to face her
"yes lillian"
"can i get this book?"
"ofcourse" grabing the book she handed it to vernon" vernon here add this"turning back to lillian well come on our last stop is ollivanders and the owl empourium"
"well bye hermione"
"bye lillian see you on the train" she waved good bye
they left the shop and stoped at the eelops owl emporioum to buy a snowy owl which lillian named Hedwig. they entered their final stop ollivanders
"ahh miss potter, I've been expecting you to pass by here"
"how did you know who i am?"
"ahh miss Potter i know every person who enters my shop, now i believe that your here for a wand."
"umm yes" ollivander proceeded to hand her variuous wands none seeming to accept her, after having created quite a mess the old man went to the back and took a golden box and muttered" i wonder" he scurried back and handed her the wand. it had a cilider stone as the handle that seemed to be a type of gem the wood seemed to be growning of the gem intertwining and twisting from the base of the wand to the tip, there was a golden string that wove its way to the tip of the wand where there was a pearl.
what happened next seemed to happen almost in slow motion she waved the wand just as the bell above the door rang, rose petals started to fall from nowhere and lillian twirled around to face the people who had entered. the image was breathtaking, dress flowing around her as black curls twirled around her head emerald eyes sparkling, all while being surounded by rose petals. there standing at the door was a dark haired man with hazel eyes and glasses, a red haired woman with emerald green eyes and a boy who looked exactly like her exept for the eyes.
to say that the look on their faces was shocked would be an understatment. Petunia turned around to see what lillian was looking at and gasped
"Lily!" said lily looked at petunia and then at lillian
"petunia if thats you then that would mean that this is..." recognition seemed to spread on lillians face, these people are her parent and thats her brother liam, she didn't know how to react, they had abandoned her for 10 years never once visiting, yet these were the people she had craved to meet since she could remember.
lily steped forward and went to place a hand on lillians cheek, and lillian did the first thing that came to mind she slapped the hand away.
"lillian!" lily looked shocked "dont you know who i am?" lillian faced her with an icy glare
"of course i know who you, you are Lily Potter"
"exactly, i'm your mother"
"no, your not my mother"
james finaly decided to speak "ofcoarse she's your mother any idiot could see it"he said
"and i suppose that you are James Potter and that boy there is Liam Sirius Potter" james only nodded "and i suppose your going to claim that your my father and he's my twin brother"
"well, what else can you expect?" he asked slightly confused
"i expect you to earn the right to have me call you mother and father"
"what do you mean, i'm your father and she's your mother whats there to earn we have all the right to have you call us acordindingly?"
"no you dont" she fixed them with another glare "you lost that right ten years ago when you abandoned me never checking to see if i was okay, and don't even try the whole you couldn´t aford to keep me, kus this" she thrust her hand up so they could see the ring" is proof that you've got no financial problems"she turned towards ollivander" i supose that this is my wand?"
"yes Miss. Potter, this wand was made by my great-granfather over 400 years ago, labrodite handle, holly wood, pure gold weavings, pearl tip, phoenix feather core, 13 inches, supple, a powerful wand that could defeat the dark lord himself, you have great potencial young potter"
The potters stood agape, how could lillian have succ a powerful wand and made by the original ollivander himself!
lillian thanked ollivander and turned to leave
"good day to you Mrs. Potter, Mr. Potter and Liam" she said " I'll no doubtfuly be seeing all three of you at hogwarts" and with that she left leaving three very starstruck potters
Ollivander smirked. it would be a very interesting year indeed.
