Lily Luna Potter: Wife of None, Mother of None
When Lily was young she heard stories about her mother, the great Ginny Weasley. She was a famous quidditch star and she was the wife of the Boy(Man)-Who-Lived. But while she was often told stories about her dangerous adventures with her friends, Lily felt she was never told a story that told her who her mother truly was, or at least who she had been. So one day at the tender age of seven she set out to find someone who wouldn't coat over any truths of leave out unpleasent details. It was lucky that Luna Scamander grew up with Ginny, she was perfect for what Lily needed. So even though Luna was sidetracked a bit too often by nargles and wrackspurts for Lily's liking, Lily was eventually able to get the whole tale of her mother's time at Hogwarts out of her. And what an adventurous time it was. Lily knew for a fact her father had only kissed 3 people in his life; Cho Chang, her mother, and Luna herself underneath the mistletoe last year. But Ginny? A lot more than three. And from the way Luna had spoken there had been more than kissing going on.
It was that day that Lily vowed to not be like her mother. At seven years old losing it in a dusty brook cupboard doesn't seem very romantic (not that it really does at any age) and as she got older Lily was much too stubborn too break a promise she made to herself. So she had made a pact with her boyfriend that they wouldn't make love (not have sex) until they were both in love with each other. And he had told her he loved her tonight. And they had done it in the Room of Requirement (not a broom cupboard) and she still wasn't sure what it was. Because try as she might, she had just broken the pact. She wasn't in love with Richie.
And this fact had absolutely nothing to do with the blonde (reformed) playboy that her cousin Rose was dating. Nothing. At. All.
