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.
Lily's thoughts will be in bold and Luke's in italics.
Cat: I know it sounds alike but in one of the books it says that both James and Harry were named that way by switching the first and middle names. And about the Beauxbatons thing, I would and am still planning on skipping to the 5th year so I wouldn't have to do that. But thanks for reviewing and I'm glad you like it!
Jamc91: I am glad you are so passionate! Lol! But even if Lily were to go to another school it may not be the entire time. Who knows? As for the last three chapters that was spur of the moment stuff. I am VERY happy you like and just so you know your review has made my day!
So anyway please review guys! I really look forward to reading them and they mean a lot to me. Just so you guys know Luke won't be dying anytime soon. Also if any one wants to e-mail me DON'T use the link on my info page. E-mail me at , TOPIC: YOUR FAN FICTION. If it is not labeled as such I WILL NOT READ IT! And on with the story-

It's About Life
James wandered around the large grove behind his house absentmindedly. His mind was really on Luke. He was a great guy and loads of fun to hang out with, yet he was completely different from his best friend Sirius Black. While Sirius was the exact opposite of his name, Luke could be quite mannerly at times. And while Luke had insisted that his sister (whom James had yet to meet) was the one with the political skill and refined manners he couldn't help but think that Luke was being slightly modest. He had seen the interaction between Luke and his father and he could tell Luke had been very well taught. Of course it would make sense, but he hadn't really thought about that side of the boy's upbringing.
He had had loads of fun that day with Luke and felt that he knew the boy know quite well yet he couldn't help but feel as if he was hiding something from him. Like the time when Luke had gone extremely quiet and later accounting it to remembering something or other that he had had to do.
James suddenly frowned. An image of a very tall, very skinny, very horse like girl came into his mind. Petunia, he thought with utmost disgust. He couldn't see how in the world Luke put up with her! If she had been his sister he would've dealt with her LONG ago! Like putting a dung bomb in her room. James smiled evilly and continued to daydream about different ways to torture Petunia, unaware that someone was watching him.
As always, Harry J. Potter ((AN: THIS IS HARRY'S GRANDPA)) arose before the crack of dawn and took his daily ice cold shower. Once done he quickly went downstairs for breakfast and was quite surprised to see his son already down in the dining room and eating. With quick good morning to the house elves and to his son, he sat down eager to eat and start his day. Harry J. Potter could tell that today was going to be a good day. He could just feel it.
Rolling over on her bed, Lily Evans cried. It was one of the few times in her life that she had done so and she was doing it now. But of course who could really blame her? She had, at the most been separated from Luke for a night or two but never a whole school year. And it was about to happen.
Lily could feel the pain burning inside of her. It hurt, and made her want to gasp for air yet when she gasped it did not help. She wanted to scream to yell to throw a tantrum to do SOMETHING but she would not because that was what children did and she had had to leave that part of her behind a long time ago. In order to survive she had left a piece of her behind, the part that made her want to do spontaneous things and it had cost her. It still cost her. But it was essential and it was 'in the past so nothing can be done about it,' she thought to herself. And these thoughts alone made her sob all the more, now not only for her brother but now for herself as she realized once again what her destiny meant: she was to be alone forever.
Half way through Luke's piano practice he gave a scream of sheer pain and fell to the ground. He felt it. Lily's pain. And it made his want to scratch his stomach out or choke himself or something. He wreathed on the ground as the servants and his teacher watched him frozen in horror. He whimpered and gasped for air, and finally when it seemed as if he could no longer even breathe and felt as if maintaining consciousness was too much it all stopped. The pain receded as did his desires to do himself bodily harm. He began to breathe normally and his teacher did as well. Luke then knew what he had to do, for Lily as much as himself.
Author's Note: So what do you think? Really angsty huh? I know, I know but until I get enough votes that covers all the bases for which school to send Lily, I am not going down that road so the sooner you all review and vote the sooner the story moves on! YIPPEE! Hope you all like it and remember REVIEW!
Luv Lots,
Kelpie
