I don't own Harry Potter
Ginny's heart was in her throat as she watched her daughter do a Winiski faint trying to catch the snitch. Everyone thought that James or Albus would be the seeker in the family. But Lily was the one James was a keeper and Albus a chaser. No it was Lily that got a thrill out of chasing the little golden ball through the sky.
Lily dived she had to prove to her siblings and cousins that she was just as good at quittitche as them. She knew that Fred was right behind her. She pushed her Lightningbolt 2000 lower. She was only a foot from the ground she could hear aduble gasps from below her as she grabbed the snitch and pulled out of the dive her feet skimming the grass. She touched down and dismounted from the broom she looked around her and saw the shocked looks on the face of her family. "Blimey Lily I can't believe you pulled off that dive." Hugo said wide eyed.
Lily didn't answer she just marched up to her brother and pushed the snitch into his hand. "Never say I can't handle myself on a broom again." She hissed before flipping her hair back and marching back towards the house. Past her half horrified half amused mother and her father who's smile looked like it was about ready to split off his face.
"Way to go Lilyflower you will make on hell of a seeker." Harry praised his daughter.
"Thank you daddy." She beemed at her father. Summer flew by and soon it was Time for Lily's birthday which also happened to be her dads birthday he called her his perfect birthday present.
Everyone was in the kitchen on the morning of July 31st. Lily and Albus were sitting at the table well Ginny was standing by the stove and Harry was looking out the window. James was standing by the moment he was standing straight up the next thing he knew he was sprawled across the floor. a wave of brown hair fanned across his face. He blinked looking up into the eyes of Alice Longbottom. He wasn't sure he could move or even if he wanted to move. It was Lily that saw the situation and decied to do something. She silantly stood up and took Alice's hand pulling her up. She hugged the older girl. "Hi Alice its so good to see you."
"You to Lily." Alice's face was flushed red and she couldn't look James in the face.
"Hmm yeah well Hello. Alice." James greeted his friend his Weasley genes showing profusly as his cheeks burned red.
"Would you like some breakfast Alice." Ginny asked trying to difuce the tention that was in the kitchen.
"Oh no thank you Mrs. Potter I ate before I came here. Lily this is for you." She handed a neatly wrapped package to Lily. Lily opend the package and pulled out a silver charm. It was of a unicorn. She snapped it on to the braclet that Teddy had given her for Christmas. It was her most prized pocession. Her dad got some presents and then it was Lily's turn. There wasn't a whole bunch. People made a big deal of birthdays but there was so many of them that they didn't buy things for everyone but there was a present from her parents and a present from each of her brothers.
She opened the one from Albus first it was a portable potions lab. "Thanks Al." He just nodded his head. James gave her a blue pygme puff which she decied to name Teddybear. "Lily why did you name your pet Teddybear." harry asked his daughter.
"Becuse he is the color of Teddy's hair when he is happy."
"I see." Harry answered as though this was normal and for Lily it was. She then opened her present from her parents she pulled out two coins. She held them in her hands turning them over and over trying to figure out what was so specile about two Gallons. "Lily those are your mother and my DA gallons. I'll show you how to key things into them. You can keep one and let someone else use one that way you can get in contact with them fast."
"Why did you give me your DA gallons."
"Well we gave James the cloak and Albus the map we thought you should have something."
"Thank you daddy." Just then Teddy walked through the door.
"Isn't there a birthday girl around here somewere."
"Me." Lily jumped from her seat and ran over to Teddy.
"Well I think I have something for you let me see. He rummuged through is coat pocket and pulled out a tiny box. She opened it to find another charm this one was a lily flower.
"Oh Teddy I love it." She snapped it on to her braclet. "Hey you want to meet Teddy."
"What?" He asked her confused.
"Teddy come on I know he would want to meet you." She pulled him towards the Pgyme puff. "See I named him Teddy becuse he matches your hair most of the time."
Teddy laughed taking the tiny litter cheacher out of the cage. "Well he is cute and I'm honored to share my name with him." Just then four owls zoomed through the window and landed on the potters table. Ginny took the letters from them and handed them to Lily James Albus and Alice. James opened his letter and wopped with joy when the Gryffindore quittiche captin badge fell from his letter.
"Lily your the seeker I don't like it but your the best and only the best will do for my team."
Lily wasn't sure weather to be offened or complimented. She looked over at Alice who was holding a shiny badge also only hers said Prefect. "Oh Alice that is great." Lily grabbed her friend and hugged her.
Alice turned to Harry after Lily let her go. "Thank you for this chance Professor Potter and can I inqure as to how the male prefect for Gryffindore is."
"Alice how many times do I have to tell you to call me Harry and the male Prefect is Alex wood."
"Thanks alot dad now both my best mates will be on prefect duty."
"Its not so bad James. Both my best mates were prefects and it didn't effect our friendship." He looked over at his son who was broading if only he could know the thoughts that were going through his head about how Ron and Hermione had married. Lily could understand what her brother was thinking and shared a knowing look with her mother. She was determined to have a talk with Alice latter.
A/N thanks for the reviews. I would like to adress one someone thought that Lily only thought of Teddy as a big brother well that may be true they have always had a closer conection then that which I tried to show. I tried to show that even now when they don't have romantic feelings for eachother they would still go to the ends of the earth for eachother that they are ment for eachother. Also next chapter or so I will introduce a new charachter that will turn into Albus's love intrest. please revew.
