It's About Life
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. So please don't sue: I own only my beloved summaries.
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.
Author's Note: Hey guys! Now I KNOW I told you guys that I wasn't going to update for a while but I got really bored waiting for 25 reviews so I decided to hell with that! From now on I will wait for five reviews to update so it'll be quicker updates for you guys! Also thanks to those who reviewed:
Tribal Leader: I'm glad you liked it and your story is really good. Happy Halloween!
Lalila: All the questions you asked I decided to answer those that I could without completely giving away the story line and plot. So here are the answers-
Why Beauxbatons?
You'll see why later.
Why her richness?
Well, let's see: Her father is the Prime Minister of Great Britain, she is royalty and her grandmother is-, well you've gotta keep reading to find out.
Why her brother?
Just because I wanted Lily to have a brother and he will play a key part in the story. Also Luke and Lily are connected magically so he felt her pain.
Why the dad?
He's the PM of Britain.
Why the mom?
Well, you are gonna find out soon
Why the royalty?
Hmm... Because she is? I really appreciate the concern about me losing readers and I'm glad you like my story. If you keep reading all of your questions will be answered.
Lil'minx-Dee: OMG! I feel so honored that you read my story! I love yours! I am so happy you like it! Your review brightened my day and I hope you update your story as well because this one's for you! ((Don't worry I won't stalk you. yet. lol))
Once again I can't really move the story forwards until I get a few more votes for Lily's school. For those of you who worry that she might not ever go to Hogwarts, don't worry she will, even if I have to toss her through a gigantic portal of pink fluffy bunnies! What notices the readers giving her odd looks Hey it could happen! Any ways one with my story!
Lily's thoughts will be in bold and Luke's in italics.

Chapter Ten: Answering Questions
It's About Life
Lily winced in pain as her maid, Gretchen, pulled on the corset strings more. She hated wearing these old clothes but it could not be helped. Grandmama always insisted on the old clothing of the court. Since Lily and Luke were to see her today they had to tolerate the uncomfortable clothing as well. Lily couldn't help but admit to her self that even though her dress was uncomfortable it was pretty. It was pale lavender with a low neckline that showed her blossoming cleavage. It had a simple white lined pattern and the edges were covered with a beautiful but delicate lace.
Once Lily was secured into the dress Gretchen moved on to her hair. Lily loved her long, straight auburn hair. It was one of the many things she had inherited from her grandmother, and her mother among other things. Gretchen decided to pull it back into a beautiful and intricate bun. After sitting perfectly still and being poked with various bobby pins and having her hair yanked about, the process was complete and Lily swore she saw Gretchen get misty eyed, watching her leave to meet Luke and the others.
"Lily, darling you look gorgeous," her mother whispered as she lightly kissed Lily on the cheek. At that statement Lily wanted to roll her eyes, but decided against it. Her mother was far too nervous today for Lily to annoy her further.
"Thank you mother," Lily replied just as softly. For a moment the distance between the two was evident and it physically pained them both. But they knew it could not be changed.
"Now, remember, you too Luke," she directed at Luke who was done up as well, and who was currently standing next to George, "be polite, mind your manners, and-,"
"Don't mention magic unless other wise told by Grandmama, listen to George and Jones and DON'T do any thing to embarrass your father," the twins finished for her grinning. It was a well used warning, one that was used almost every day in the Evans household and the twins had long since committed the speech to memory.
"Don't worry, mother, we know. We're not so little anymore. And remember if we don't listen to George and Jones they MAKE us listen," Lily told her mother reassuringly. Occasionally, her mother needed to be reminded that they weren't four years old and still stuck in the let's-see-who-can-give-Grandmother-a-heart-attack-sooner stage. They had been able to get sway with it then but they would never get away with it now.
Lily's mother smiled through her tears.
"And it's MR. Jones, not Jones. That sounds rude and impolite to refer to him like that" her mother scolded. Recognizing the warning signs that led to a recital of basic cotillion manners, Lily and Luke hurridly jumped (or in Lily's case glided - it was rather hard to jump into anything with corset on) into the awaiting car.
"Sorry mother. Bye! We love you take care!" Luke shouted from the now moving limousine, which the twins had entered during their brief lecture.
"I love you as well!" she called back, as she thought to herself, 'Be safe my darlings and take care of one another'. She knew they would need all of their wits to get through today.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"One lump or two, your highness?" asked the servant.
"Two please," Lily responded. Normally Lily wouldn't have been drinking tea but today was the exception. She needed something to calm her nerves and gratefully accepted the offered porcelain cup.
She was silently wondering if she was doing the right thing. To confront Her Majesty the Queen of England and tell her that 'to hell with what you want I'm doing what I want to do' might make you question yourself as well. But Luke told her to do what her heart said, and this was it. She just wasn't sure if it was the smartest thing to do.
Are you sure about this? Luke silently asked her. She could tell he was concerned for her. He knew, just as well as she did that it was not a good thing to cross their Grandmother. It could lead to loss of limbs, and possibly even extremely important body organs.
Well, you were the one who told me to trust my instincts she reminded him.
Yes, but, that was before you said you were going to summon the source of all EVIL he joked at his new nickname for their grandmother.
Would you stop! You know she isn't the source of all evil, and besides she isn't that bad. Yet even as she said it Lily knew her voice gave way to the fact she was unsure of this fact. And Lily was quite unsure.
No, I will not! She didn't even give us a real reason for separating us! I am tired of her trying to control every aspect of our lives! Just because you are her heir, doesn't mean she can boss you around all the time. Or me, mother, and father! He's the bloody Prime Minister for Pete's sake! He exclaimed angrily. He wished his parents would grow a pair for once!
Luke! Watch your language or I'll tell mother! They then had to end their conversation because there in the doorway was the one person in the entire world that controlled their futures:
Their Grandmother.
Author's Note:
Piper and Leo from Charmed, only I changed Cole to the source of all evil but considering he BECAME the source it is kinda the same.
