Lily Luna Potter


Lonely Moon Flower

It was easy for everyone to overlook Lily.

She wasn't the icon of the Golden Trio's brood. Lily wasn't like her brothers, who both radiated their father's scruffy good looks. She wasn't like her cousin Hugo, who shared her red hair, but he had a chiselled jaw and a face that most girls at school would drop dead for. She wasn't like her older cousin Rose, either. It was Rose that Lily was the most envious of.

Rose wasn't exquisitely pretty, not like Victoire and Dominque. But what she lacked in good looks, she more than made up for in intellect. She had thoroughly inherited her mother's sharp brain, and quickly flew to the top of the class in all of her classes.

On top of that, Rose even had a boyfriend. Scorpius Malfoy absolutely doted on Lily's older cousin.

Whilst Lily Luna was left to feel plain, alone, and completely overlooked.

Being part of the next generation wasn't as golden as everyone assumed.
