Another short drabble of the 'verse where Lily is Robin reincarnated.


Lily Robin 3

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter,

We are writing you to inform you that your son faced the Dark Lord in single combat and emerged victorious…

Lily slammed the letter onto Dumbledore's desk and smiled darkly. James loomed in the background glaring at the aged headmaster and his deputy headmistress.

"We need to talk about this letter," Lily said as a disembodied hand grew out of Dumbledore's back and grabbed the old headmaster's hair. "And discuss the proper way to alert parents when something is wrong."


Harry smiled sheepishly at his mother who was staring at him unamused. The redheaded woman was standing casually, arms crossed drumming her fingers against her arm. Beside her stood Headmaster Dumbledore, held in place by a rather insistent hand tugging at his beard. Harry could see his father talking, in a rather animated fashion to professor McGonagall and knew he would be of no help. "Hi, mum."

Lily arched a single eyebrow and Harry began confessing. "Professor Quirrell was after the Philosopher's Stone and we couldn't let him get it!"

"What gave you that idea?" Lily asked curiously. The letter had said her son and his friends, Neville Longbottom, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger, if she had to guess, sought out the shade of Lord Voldemort and beat his vessel.

Lily listened as Harry told a story of clues and breadcrumbs that had been dropped his way all year. The more her son spoke the more agitated she could feel her hostage become. Until finally Lily had heard enough. "Thank you, darling," Lily said quieting her son. Gently she reached down and placed a kiss on his smooth forehead. "I need to speak with Headmaster Dumbledore a little more and then I'll come back and you can tell me all about it."

Harry smiled widely eager to share his adventure with his parents.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, did not look so eager.

"Come alone Professor," Lily said mildly, the disembodied hand giving a sharp jerk. "You and I are going to have a long discussion on what is age appropriate training."
