It's About Life

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.

Author's Note: Hey it's me again. I decided to write another chapter while I can. It is getting hard to find time to update because of school (we just had the PSAT's ugh!) so please for give me if I take a while to update. If I decide to put the story on pause (which IS NOT going to happen but just for reference) I WILL TELL YOU! On with the story oh and did u guys love that last chapter? I'm trying to write at least 1000 words so be thankful.

Lily's thoughts will be in bold and Luke's in italics.

Chapter Seven: Boys Will Be Boys

Lily pulled the large dress over her head as she thought about the conversation she had over heard between her mother, George and Jones.

-FLASH BACK-

"How did he know about my daughter? I thought he was a wizard?" asked her mother. Lily watched from behind one of the many peepholes she and Luke had found in the castle. He mother's tone and posture told her she was worried and concerned.

"I suspect that Headmaster Dumbledore must have done his research and informed Mr. Potter. He does work for their ministry, maybe he found out there," said George. To anyone else he sounded casual, but Lily knew him well. He was worried as well, which worried Lily. George was not one to fret over nothing.

"Yes that is true. Or maybe it's common knowledge in the magical community. After all they have Seers and the like. They must have had some information about Lily and her Majesty. It is legend," Jones lightly reminded her mother but obviously she was too worried to notice this because-

"I know that Jones!" she snapped.

"Forgive me madam, but I thought it prudent to remind you-" he was interrupted by a distraught proclamation from the woman, which was increasingly alarming Lily. Her mother was the calmest, best held together woman Lily knew, and to see her loose herself to worry was quite alarming.

"PRUDENT! TO REMIND ME! You are forgetting Jones that I am always reminded of my heritage. Of Lily's heritage, her destiny, her fate. I can't help it. She's my daughter and yet I can do nothing but sit back and watch her deal with this alone! Not even Luke can help her and he's her brother! I hate it! I do!" and then her mother did something she had never seen her do before; she started to cry. Lily was now so rooted to the spot that she knew she could not move even if she wanted to.

"Now, there, there madam, you know Lily know how you feel. You can help her by supporting her in every thing she does, like going to Hogwarts and allowing her to make her own choices. You need to let her live her life and not make her abide by her fate. We all know she can't escape it and she will have to face it sooner or later but what you can do is make sure she's ready for it, and knows how to deal with it. Now come we must make a decision as to how we are going to deal with your mother. She will be opposed to Lily's going to Hogwarts, unless we can find a way to get her compromise," Jones stated.

-END FLASH BACK-

Lily smiled. Jones always knew how to cheer people up while allowing them to keep their dignity about it. But then she frowned. She had never seen her mother like that yet from the way Jones had spoken it sounded like it had happened more than once before. It pained her to think that she had made her mother that upset as to cry in front of someone, seeing as how proud a person her mother was. She thought over what her mother and Jones had said about her destiny. Ah yes her destiny. The invisible brick wall she was forever running into that kept her from living her own life. Her destiny that dictated every aspect of her life from the way she talked to exactly what she ate. It was the same destiny that had always kept Luke, her mother, her father, and most especially her grandmother on their toes. The same one that made it very unlikely that she would ever reach her middle twenties. While Lily brooded over what her mother and Jones and George had said she also thought about what they DIDN'T say, and that was a lot.

-

And of course in the middle of all this brooding was Luke. He was in his room concentrating on his sister's thoughts when he was quite rudely interpreted (or at least in his opinion) by a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" he asked thoroughly annoyed that he had to stop listening in on Lily's thoughts. He knew he shouldn't intrude, but her was her brother after all, and it was his right to be sneaky and nosy when the occasion called for it.

"It's Mr. Potter from the other day. I've brought someone to meet you. May we come in?" Mr. Potter's voice came from the other side of the door. This piqued Luke's interest - whom had his new acquaintance brought to see him?

"Yes please do!" Luke called back.

The doorknob turned and in walked Mr. Potter. Behind him was a boy who looked exactly like him except twenty years younger, two and half feet shorter, much skinnier and MUCH more hyper. The boy seemed a little nervous yet like his father confidant. He spotted Luke and relaxed.

"Hello my name's Luke and may I ask who you are?" Luke said as politely as possible. Lily was the one with the manners and training for this. Not Luke, her was the straight to the point, tell it like it is twin, something his Grandmother found extremely annoying.

"Oh, I'm James, James Potter," he said and stuck out his arm.

"Nice to meet you James Potter," Luke said taking the offered arm and shaking it warmly. The boy, James had a firm grip, and was stronger than he looked.

"Would you like to come and sit down?" Luke asked and after the boy nodded his head he led them to the parlor that adjoined his bedroom.

In order to get into the main part of the bedroom you had to first go through the parlor, then a small cozy kitchen and then a living area. The parlor was richly furnished and quite nice. Luke held in a laugh when he noticed James's jaw drop at the size of the place. Most people were that way. Well, at least the few people he brought this far into his quarters were that way.

"So Luke I have a few things I need to see your mother, George and Mr. Jones about so if you will excuse me?" and with that Mr. Potter was gone leaving just him and James.

"So, James what would you like to do?" Luke asked plopping down on a sofa. He noticed that James was already bored by his body language. Luke noted, with ease, that James would be an easy person to read.

"Well, what would you like to do? This is your house," James stated.

"Well, have you ever played a video game?" Luke asked with a mischievous grin.

"Nope. What's a vodeo game?" he asked mispronouncing video game.

"You haven't lived until you've played a video game! Come on," and with that the boys went off to play and do what boys do best; be boys.

Author's Note: So what do you think? TWO CHAPTERS IN ONE NIGHT! I am SO nice. AND since I gave you such a special treat you can do me a favor by REVIEWING!
