Thanks to all that are still reading my story. But I really need reviews. I'm really getting lonely. And once again, please excuse my spelling. And also, don't try to correct the years and everything because I'm just calculating when all these events happened if Harry was born in 1980 like J.K. Rowling said. Disclaimer: This is not my work. Only the stuff u don't recognized from the books.
Elizabeth's Past
Lily rushed into the library as soon as she could, which was five days after Elizabeth told Lily some about her past. Lily scanned through a special shelf that held records of all students of Hogwarts.
" Let's see..." Lily mumbled. " Share, Shaut, aw, here we go, Shaw."
Lily's face fell. There were about twenty students with the last name of Shaw. She looked through them all. Frank Shaw, Linda Shaw, Tina, Howard. When she reached the 12th book named Shaw, Alexandria M., she opened it, thinking it wasn't it.
"Alexandria Shaw born 1977 in Ireland to Hank and Charity Shaw. Arrived at Hogwarts on September 1, 1988. Sorted into Gryffendor House. Played Chaser for the Quidditch Team. Prefect in 1993, Head Girl in 1995. Graduated in 1995 with high marks. Joined the Death Eaters in 1996 then acted as double agent for the ministry. Single- one girl, Elizabeth Nicole Shaw, born January 1998 at St. Mungos in London, England. Lives in Dublin, Scotland works for the Ministry of Magic as an Auror."
Lily closed the book and looked back at the shelf. Surely Elizabeth would have a book on her too. She went over and looked for a Shaw, Elizabeth N. She found it without trouble. She read the book.
" Elizabeth Nicole Shaw born in St. Mungos on January 9, 1998 to Alexandria Shaw. Father unknown. Prophecy foretold about her on October 19, 1998. No siblings. Arrived at Hogwarts on September 1, 2009. Sorted into Gryffendor House"
That was all that was written in her book so far. After Lily put all the books away, Lily went to find her book. It wasn't hard to find, with her dad having a huge book of his own right next to her book. Lily opened her book.
" Lily Anne Potter born in St. Mungos on July 31, 1997 to Harry and Hermione Potter. Prophecy foretold about her by Harriet Swamp on June 1, 1997. Another prophecy foretold on October 19, 1998. Now kept in Dept. of Mysteries. One brother, twin James Scott Potter and one sister-adopted Amy Michelle Potter. Arrived at Hogwarts on September 1, 2008. Sorted into Gryffendor House. Highest marks on exams in her year. One boyfriend, Ian Jonathan Malfoy. Lives in 12 Grimmald Place London, England."
Lily stared at the book. A prophecy? About her? What was that about and why hadn't her mum told her about that? She checked the book out of the library and ran back to the common room. She didn't talk to the others as she ran to her room. It was made about a year after she was born. And Elizabeth's father was unknown. How strange was that? The records was supposed to know everything about anyone who went to Hogwarts. Lily made an intent to see her parents tomorrow. She laid down and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Lily sat down for dinner in the Great Hall. She was in deep thought and didn't know what she was eating until someone caught her hand right before she put something in her mouth.
" Lily, you're down to the bone. You don't need to eat that too." Josh said, laughing.
" What's wrong this time, Lily? I've never seen you so distracted and distressed before. You're face is so pale and you're shaking all over." James asked her.
Lily looked up at the staff table and saw her parents sitting next to each other, talking. " Nothing." she mumbled. " I'll see you guys in the common room later. She slowly walked up to the staff table to where her parents were.
" Dad, Mum, I need to talk to you privately. Now." Lily whispered in their ears. They both nodded at her and got up. She followed them to her dad's office. After they went up the moving staircase and walked through the door, her parents sat in two chairs behind Harry's desk and Lily took the chair in front of the desk.
" Now, what did you want to talk about, Lily?" Hermione asked.
" My records. You know, in the library." Lily said. Her parents nodded. " Well, I read mine and it said there was a prophecy made about me when I was only a year old. And another one before I was born. Way before. What is that about?"
Harry and Hermione looked at each other uneasily. Then Harry nodded and Hermione spoke.
" It is about you. Well, it could be about you or James. We're not sure who it's about. But we can't tell you now. The one told after your birth is for sure about you though. But they are both too complicated and sensitive to tell you now. If you knew, you might be in more danger than you are now." she said.
" Does James know about this?" Lily asked.
" No, he doesn't. You are the extraordinary child. But the first prophecy told about you two is about this school and your ancestors." Harry said quietly.
" Why are they kept at the Dept. of ... " Lily began.
" The Dept. of Mysteries? That's where all prophecies are kept. My prophecy is kept there." Harry replied casually.
" You have a prophecy about you!" Lily said, shocked.
" Yes, it was told about a year before my birth foretelling that the Dark Lord would mark me his enemy and that either I would have to kill him or he would kill me." Harry said.
" Wow. Did you kill him?" Lily asked.
" I really don't know. We both knocked each other out so I don't know if I truly killed him or not." Harry said.
Does James know about this?" Lily asked.
" No." Harry said, shaking his head. " We didn't want to tell even you, but we had to. We don't want him to think you're out favorite child and you're more special than he is."
" Well, aren't I special? Well since I have two prophecies told about me?" Lily asked.
" Yes, you are special." Hermione began. " But we don't want James felling unwanted. He's just as important to us as you are."
" So you are not to tell anyone about this. Alright?" Harry said, giving Lily a look.
" Fine." Lily said with disappointment.
" Is that all you wanted to talk about?" Harry asked.
" Well, there is one thing. Those books know even our boyfriends?" Lily asked slyly.
" Yes. It does. Those books record everything." Harry said.
" Everything? Then, why does Elizabeth's record book say 'father unknown'?" Lily asked.
" I don't know. Only if it's been tampered with will it delete information like that. Well, don't worry about now. Go back to your common room." Harry said.
Lily walked back to the common room silently. When she got there, Jordan and Amanda, the twin beaters on the Quidditch team, were feeding firecrackers to two salamanders and lighting them. Everyone ooed (A.N. you know what I mean) and awed as the salamanders flew around the room, issuing bursts of red, orange, and yellow. She saw Janet, James, Amy, and Katie sitting together on the couch.
" Lily, you're finally back. We've been talking about the game on Saturday." Janet said.
" Oh yea, that's right. Hey, I've got to tell you something." Lily whispered as Katie got up and left. " I went to the library today and read Elizabeth's record book and it said that her father is unknown. And my dad said that the books are supposed to know everything unless someone's been tampering with it."
" Hmm. That's interesting." James said. " I should have a look at my someday."
" No!" Lily said suddenly. When everyone gave her a strange look, she replied, " Mum and dad didn't like me looking at mine. I got in trouble."
" Alright, I won't look then." James said.
" Yea, but it has everything recorded in there. Your birthday, when you came to Hogwarts, your house and even your boyfriend." Lily said, blushing at the last part.
" Let's see, Lily Potter, Gryffendor, Ian Malfoy." Janet recited giggling.
" Stop it, you guys. We're not together anymore." Lily said.
" What do you mean, not together?" Janet asked.
" We kinda broke up when I woke up in the hospital wing. He said we needed some time together. My dad hates him right now." Lily replied.
" Oh, I see. Well, I'm really sorry, Lily." James said with sarcasm. Lily hit him.
" I'll see you guys tomorrow. Good night." Janet said, rising out of her chair.
" So.." James said after Janet left, " You did look at your record book. What did it have in it that mum and dad didn't want you to see?"
" I'm not allowed to tell you. Mum and dad told me not to tell you." Lily said. " Now I'm going to bed. Good night, James." And she got up and walked to the girl dormitories leaving a bewildered James behind. She smiled. Lily loved leaving her brother hanging on a cliffhanger. She would tell him some of the unimportant facts of a secret to bait him and then not tell him anymore. Lily slowly climbed into bed at last and thought about Ian. What was he thinking about now?
Lily woke up early the next morning. Not being able to fall back asleep, she got up, dressed, and went down for breakfast. After eating two pieces of toast, some scrambled eggs and some pumpkin juice, Lily went for a short walk on the grounds. She could see the hut by the lake that used to belong to Hagrid twelve years ago before he was killed in the war. Or so her parents said. And there was the lake that her dad had swam in to save his best friend, Ron Weasley, in a tournament. And there was the place where her mum had hit Draco Malfoy, Ian's dad, in her 3rd year. Lily checked her watch. She had twenty minutes before her first class started. So, she went inside and headed for Defense Against the Dark Arts.
That Saturday, Lily was to be found in the lockers getting ready for the Interhouse Quidditch Championship Game. She was so nervous that she had a hard time fastening up her uniform. Finally, it was time to walk onto the field where the whole school was watching. On the other side of the field, the Ravenclaws, wearing yellow robes, were walking from their lockers. Madam Hooch made the signal for the players to mount their brooms. She released the red Quaffle, the two black Bludgers, and finally, the tiny golden Snitch. Madam Hooch blew her whistle and the 14 players rose into the sky. Lily immediately flew about 50 feet above the game and started to look for the Snitch. Tailing her very closely was Christine Gentry, the Ravenclaw seeker. Five minutes into the game, James had scored three times with Gryffendor in the lead, 30-0. Then, she spotted it, the golden Snitch. It was hovering about twenty feet about the crowds by the Gryffendor goalposts. Lily dove. Christine followed her closely. Lily stretched a hand out to enclose her hand on the Snitch then, WHAM, one of the Ravenclaw beaters, Scott Barely, flew into her way and she crashed into her. The Gryffendor fans screamed with rage. Madam Hooch blew her whistle. " Penalty awarded to Gryffendor." she said. Anna took the shot and made it. Now the score was 60-10, Gryffendor lead. Lily swore quietly to herself. How could she not see him coming at her? Now she had to look for the Snitch all over again. Lily had swooped around the field for another thirty minutes before she saw the Snitch again. She thought for a minute. If Christine saw her dive for the Snitch, she would follow. Lily had to distract her. Lily went into a fake dive and, of course, Christine, thinking Lily had seen the Snitch, followed her. When Lily was two feet above the ground she turned her broom up quickly and sped off in the direction of the Snitch. Meanwhile, Christine had hit the ground. Not hard, but she was laying on the ground, totally shocked. Lily only just had her hand around the Snitch when Scott Barely rammed into her again, this time, knocking her off her broom. Lily plummeted to the ground from ten feet in the air. She hit the ground, hard. The last thing she remembered before blacking out was the cheer of the crowd.
" What a fall!"
" She could have killed herself, Jordan!"
" Well, she didn't die, did she."
" Her parents were so startled. Did you see Pro. Hermione's face?"
" Look, I think she's coming around!"
Lily slowly opened her eyes. Her whole body ached as if someone had hit her with a hammer over and over. Sunlight was pouring through the window and it hurt her eyes. She abruptly shut them.
" I think the sunlight's hurting her eyes. Someone close the blinds."
Lily opened her eyes once again. The room was a little darker. Around her stood the whole team, beaming at her.
" What happened?" Lily asked.
" You were knocked off your broom." a white faced Anna told her.
" You hit the ground pretty hard." Amanda continued.
" The headmaster, or your dad, ran out onto the field and carried you to the hospital wing." Katie said.
" We still won the cup though." Jordan said, grinning broadly.
" We did?" Lily said.
" You don't remember catching the Snitch?" James said.
" No. I don't think so. I remember Scott knocking me off and falling. But I wasn't sure if I caught the Snitch." Lily said. " Did you guys change right after I got knocked off?"
The team looked around at each other.
" Lily, today's Sunday. You've been out for about a day." Katie said.
" Oh. I see. Where are my parents?" Lily asked.
" Getting some sleep. They've been here all day today." James said.
" Well, now that your awake, I've got some homework to do." Anna said. " Good job, Potter."
And in about ten minutes, everyone but James had left.
" Ian was in here too. I finally got him to leave to get some sleep. Mum and dad thought you were going to die. They overreacted. I knew you were going to be alright." James said with a smile.
" What happened?" Lily asked again.
" Well, Scott knocked you off your broom right after he saw that you got the Snitch. You fell. It was about ten feet down. Mum's face went white and dad was raging mad. Madam Hooch and Scott had a little talk after the game. He didn't seem to sorry that he made you fall to your possible death." James replied.
" He wasn't sorry?" Lily asked.
" Nope. He was grinning the whole time that Madam Hooch was talking to him." James said.
" Oh. Well, I guess I'd better get some homework done." Lily said.
" You have homework to do?" James asked, unbelievably.
" Well, it's some extra work. You know, to boost my grades." Lily said.
" Oh my goodness." James said, walking out.
Ok, thanks once again if you're reading my story. I've been quite lonely. Now that's it's summer, I'll have much more time to write the story. It'll be over in about four or five chapters. HPgirl7
