It's About Life
Disclaimer: If I were J.K. Rowling, would I really write something this bad? I own none of the below… except maybe the context… and the summary! Oh yes I own my summaries! I love my summaries! Not the ones that you first read but the one I put below. Read it, it's much better than the one that you all first saw.
Character Pairings: Lily/James, Lily/OC, James/OC, Sirius/OC, Remus/OC, Luke/OC, and many more!
Request: If you read, please review. If you would like to be in the story just say so in your review along with a description of your character and I will squeeze you in. If you would like to beta this please say so in your review. I am re-writing this - by rewriting I mean I am adding in bits and expanding on some of the characters but it will take a while so please be patient.
Rating: PG- 13 for language and sexual situations and insinuations.
Summary: Because of the life Lily was born into, she had to grow up. She had to deal with things most people would never have to deal with in their lifetime. She had to become an adult far before her time. Now, when she's finally built a new existence for herself her present life and her past will collide, and in doing so, will open up a closet full of skeletons. Skeletons that were meant to stay secret.
Reviews: All reviews are welcome and wanted, including flamers. Constructive criticisms, as well as ideas, questions and comments are most needed. Anyone who has an idea for the characters, just say so in your review and I will get back to you about the story. I must warn you now however, that there will be very random moments in this story, loads of songs, and loads of hyperness induced by sugar. You have been forewarned.

Chapter Two: Tears Go Away Come Again Some Other Day
"I just can't believe you would pull a stunt like this! You are the daughter of the most influential man in England. You are almost eleven you ought to- no, you do know better!" a red headed petite woman lectured Lily.
She wore a dress suit and slacks. As she paced the floor her heals made a click click sound and the light bounced off the large stone on her ring finger.
"But mum I couldn't take it! She was completely lying to me and trying to use me all in one! You know I don't tolerate that! And I wasn't always the Prime Minister's daughter. I used to be just your daughter! Or have you forgotten that, along with dad?" Lily cried out in exasperation. 'I'm not just the Prime Minister's daughter and they need to remember that!' she thought to herself. 'I am me and was me before the election.' She watched as her mother's face turned from one of disappointment to one of understanding.
Her mother, who had grown up in almost as public an environment as she had, understood how hard it was to grow up in the spotlight, with every eye on you.
"I know it's hard dearest but your father is very busy but he still loves you. It's just a lot of people need him right now. Try to understand-" her mother was cut off but the sudden rush of tears that fell from her daughter's face. "Now honey please don't-" she was cut off once again but this time it was by her daughter's sudden flight from the room.
Ignoring her mother's calling for her to come back Lily ran through the huge castle and ran into her room. Once there she flung herself down onto the bed and continued sobbing. 'Yeah a lot of people may need him but I do too and I'm his daughter! He just used me that was all this afternoon was! And mother doesn't even see it! Oh I wish he'd never won that stupid election! Then he would be home more!' And she continued to sob through out the night until she cried herself to sleep.
Victoria Evans was not as distant and unfeeling as the press sometimes made her out to be. She truly loved her children, she loved them with her whole heart. She knew how Lily was feeling, what she was going through. It was bad enough for a normal girl growing up, you already felt insecure enough as it was. However, to have to grow up in the spotlight, with eyes always watching, ears always listening, always ready to, at the slightest hint of imperfection, rip you to shreds, it was enough to make one go insane.
She had never wanted her children to live the same life as she had, but then Victoria just had to go and fall in love with an aspiring politician. Lily's life still might have been normal if not for several unfortunate events which all happened to coincide with one another: Victoria's brother's death, her only other brother's investiture, and a prophetic visit from her supposed "past life." Victoria had never really believed in magic, reincarnation or any of the fairy tales that abounded in England. However, this visit had shocked her into believing, or at least dissuaded her from disbelieving.
She had been laying the children down for the night, when all of the sudden she had felt a bit woozy and decided to retire to her bed room. Upon entering, she spotted a person, a woman, who bared a startling resemblance to her, with the exception of the stranger's black as night hair, sitting on her divan opposite the terrace.
After a moment's confusion, the stranger persuaded her to listen to her story and her warning. She, the stranger, was the Lady of Lake, Vivian, one of Victoria's past lives. Vivian told her that she had come to tell her about her daughter, Lily. Lily, she had said, was powerful, extremely powerful. She was, in fact, the most powerful child born to a non-magical parent since perhaps before Vivian's time. This startled Victoria but not nearly as much as what she had been told next - that she would either bare a savior, who would aid the world in it's darkest hour, or, she would bare a demon, one who would destroy the world, and cover all the lands in a second darkness. When asked what the first darkness had been, Vivian explained that once, before the thought of man had even been conceived, demons had roamed the land, unchallenged masters of all. The gods had done as much as they could to check the demonic power, but, when it seemed all hope had faded, the goddess of wisdom instructed all the gods to pool their powers together, and in so doing form a cage in which to trap the demons. They succeeded, but not without a great cost. Only the strongest deities survived. Faced with the challenge of once again populating the Earth, they made man. And man had at once been in harmony with the gods, and with all living things. But man eventually forgot the tale of their creation, and fell into a destructive nature, not unlike that of the demons who once had occupied the Earth. Vivian told Victoria that if Lily was to bare the demon - child, it would destroy the already fragile existence between the gods and human kind, and free the demons from their prison, where they have had eons to stew over their entrapment and defeat. It did not sound at all like an appealing future to Victoria.
After Vivian had given her this piece of information to chew on, she had taken her leave, only informing Victoria that she would be looking in on things time to time.
Victoria had never told anyone of that night with Vivian.
Deep down, she wasn't quite sure she could.
Author's Note: So what do you think? Tell me please! I am really tired so this is all I could manage but I'll update tomorrow and thanks to Soccer Bitch who reviewed!
