It's About Life
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. So please don't sue: I own only my beloved summaries.

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: Okay, okay, you guys ask for updates I give you TWO in one night! Both exceeding 1000 words. And what do I get? TWO REVIEWS! Two! So I am going to put up a review quota for each chapter. I must get 10 reviews before I write another chapter. Sorry I don't wanna sound snobby but I need the reviews.
Lily's thoughts will be in bold and Luke's in italics.

Chapter Eight: Fight, Fight, Fight
Lily was brushing her hair when she heard a loud thump in her brother's room. She quickly set down her brush and focused on her brother's thoughts. When she knew he was safe she resumed brushing but not before asking her brother-
What are you up to?
Oh just playing around. Mr. Potter came by and dropped his son, James, by my room. He is a laugh and a half I'll tell you that! Why, were we being exceptionally loud?
Mr. Potter came by? Interesting. Yes you were. I heard you all so keep it down or Petty will - but what Petty would do Luke never found out because one VERY angry Petunia interrupted their conversation.
"COULD YOU PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN! I HAVE GUESTS OVER! OR IS THAT SOME FREAK NECESSITY TO BE LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS!" Petunia screeched. Luke wasn't sure but he was pretty positive she was making more noise than James and he had been making.
"Sorry Petunia, we'll try to keep it down," Luke said trying to avoid a confrontation.
"You ought to be," she said sniffing and left the room huffily.
"Who was that?" Luke had almost forgotten James was there. The boy looked shocked and slightly ruffled.
"Oh just Petunia my sister. Now I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat. Sound good?" and with a furious nod from James they left the room to 'rustle up some grub' as James put it.

Lily sighed upon hearing the conversation between her two siblings. They always seemed to fight, no matter what. It was a constant sore spot with her parents and she knew they worried about the magnitude of her siblings' arguments. She sighed again with the thought that she could do nothing about it, but to let things run their course.
Lily exited her bedroom and headed towards the blue parlor room on the second floor. During Petty and Luke's tiff George had knocked on her door with the message that she was to report to the parlor as soon as was possible to meet her mother and father. Lily of course had found it peculiar that Luke was not told the same but she pushed that thought to the back of her mind. She was sure that whatever her parents' reasons were they were for the best. Like always she put her complete and total faith into two people who could very likely unwillingly be her downfall.

Lily entered the room with a formal posture about her. She seemed confident and appeared much older than she actually was. This was of course due to the immense amounts of etiquette training she had under gone. She noticed that Mr. Potter and her father, who had been talking animatedly when she first walked in, stopped abruptly when they noticed her enter. With a small, polite smile Lily gracefully sat down opposite her mother. She spared a glance to her mother while the others got seated and was startled to see her quite pale and nervous. Lily's curiosity got the better of her and she quietly asked-
"Mother, you look ill. Are you alright?" Lily tried not to show how worried she was.
"Yes dear, I am fine. Just a little thirsty. Marie please some drinks if you will, and something to eat," she asked the maid who had appeared at the door. With a murmured 'yes madam' she was gone.
"So Lily, I am sure you are curious as to why your presence was requested," Lily's father stated, as if he knew what she was thinking.
"Yes I am, but I am more curious about the fact that Luke is not here. Is he not to know of this meeting?" Lily asked, carefully choosing her words. Mr. Potter noticed this and with equally carefully chosen words said-
"He may but this has more to do with you than your brother. It will affect you both but it will affect you more," he gave Lily's father a look as if to say 'It's your ball.'
"What do you mean?" Lily asked with growing dread. It could not be good.
"Well, honey, your grandmother doesn't want you to attend Hogwarts. She has straight out refused permission. So we offered a compromise," he mother said tenderly as if what she was about to hear would kill her.
"Mum, your starting to scare me. What did she say?" Lily barely kept her voice from shaking. This could not be good for Mr. Potter was shooting her looks of utmost pity and her mother looked as if she was afraid that Lily was a porcelain doll and could break at any moment.
"We asked her if you could attend Beauxbatons. And she said it would be alright," her father said, voice dripping with pity.
Lily felt as if someone had punched her in the chest. In the back of her mind she had always known that it was a possibility to be split up from Luke but she hadn't really considered. But now it was a reality. And it, as the Yanks said, sucked. Majorly sucked.
Author's Note: Hey what do you think? SURPRISE! I told you guys there would be a ton of surprises!
Musicizdbest: Thanks, I'm glad you like! I think you are the one person who has reviewed the new chapters.
Geminia: Thanks, that's a really good idea! Don't worry I don't have any plans as of yet for a death of Luke chapter. I'm glad you like the twin thing. I've seen it done but it was never really good, like it wasn't taken as far as it could've. So I'm glad you like it. THANKS FOR REVIEWING
I have another question for you all though and it is:
Should Lily go to: Hogwarts Beauxbatons Salem Academy of America Other
