Lily is tired after giving birth. Tired but happy as she regards her newborn daughter in her arms, where she gently brushes a thumb over the soulmark on her daughter's palm.
"5,580." She says softly.
"I've counted the days and it looks like our daughter is going to meet her soulmate when she is sixteen years old," James informs his wife.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Then, I hope that she will meet someone worthy of her. Someone who is strong and kind," Lily states as she gazes at her daughter lovingly.
"I hope so too, Lily." is James' only reply as the two of them look at their newborn daughter with warmth and pride in their eyes.

Lilian Jane Potter is four years old when she asks her teacher about the mark on her palm when her aunt refused to answer her at first.
"Ms. Emery, what does this mean?" Lilian shows the palm of her hand to her teacher, who looks at it curiously.
"Why it's a countdown, dear." Her teacher informs her.
"Countdown to what, Ms. Emery?" Lilian asks her.
"It's a countdown to when you are about to meet your soulmate, sweetheart."
"Soulmate? What is that?"
"Your soulmate is your other half, Lilian."
"Other half?"
"It means that when you meet him - or her - they will make you whole again, Lilian. They are the one who will complete your existence. You won't be alone in this world anymore."
"Really? I won't be alone anymore? Does it mean that I will have a true friend?" Lilian asks hopefully.
"Yes, Lilian. You will have someone to cherish you as you are."

She is twelve years old when she discusses her expectation about her soulmate to Hermione.
"Have you ever thought of who he - or she - might be?" Hermione asks her one day.
"Who?" Lilian says, sounding puzzled.
"Your soulmate,"
"Oh…" Lilian responds contemplatively. "Yes, I have thought of it a lot lately."
"And? What do you expect?"
"I am only hoping that I don't end up having a git of a soulmate like yours, Hermione. Draco is not worthy of you."
"Let's not talk about Draco for a moment, Lilian. Why don't we talk about yours instead?"
"Well, I only have around four years left on my countdown. I can only hope that he or she is someone who sees me for who I am and not as the Girl-Who-Lived."
"I am sure he will, Lilian. He or she is your soulmate after all."

She is sixteen years old when she and the others go to the Department of Mysteries to save her Godfather but at a high cost.
"No Sirius!" Lilian shouts and she is already moving before she can stop herself.
At once, she is in front of the Veil and flinging herself after her Godfather, who has disappeared into it.
There is no one to stop her in time.
No one to save her from the path that she has run straight into.
Meanwhile, as Lilian Potter enters the Veil, it suddenly reacts violently. The Veil only accepts dead offerings and when it senses Lilian Potter's presence within itself, the Veil tears a fabric through time and space to spit her - an unwanted entity - out in another dimension.
Lilian ends up somewhere far.
Lilian Potter is dropped into another dimension, where she remains unconscious and alone.
Unbeknownst to her, the disturbance of her arrival is noted by nearby Jujutsu Sorcerers and one of them is none other than the most powerful of them all.

When Lilian Jane Potter regains consciousness, she is immediately met by the sight of a man with the bluest eyes she has ever seen. The moment their eyes meet, something clicks into place. The worry and fear she feels from earlier disappears and is replace by tranquility and joy.
And just as her eyes meet with the man's bright blue eyes, her countdown turns to zero right before it disappears altogether.
However, Lilian fails to note the disappearance of the countdown because she is far too busy locking eyes with the beautiful man.
"Who are you?" is Lilian Potter's first words to the man, who continues to regard her with a strange look in his eyes.
There is a momentary pause as the man resumes gazing at her silently while he crouches down beside her prone figure.
A moment later, a smile appears on the handsome man's face that nearly takes Lilian's breath away.
"So you are my soulmate," comes the unknown man's words. He speaks English with a foreign accent.
His words doesn't register at first so she asks stupidly, "I am your what?"
She is still awestruck by the man's otherworldly beauty.
"Soulmate," the man replies.
"Oh," is Lilian's reply and glances down absently at her palm, where it now looks blank.
No countdown in sight.
She looks back at the man and says almost dazedly, "It seems so."
The man's grin widens, which shows her his pearly whites. It is nearly blinding like his icy blue eyes.
"My name is Satoru Gojo," the man introduces. "And you are?"
"Lilian Potter," She responds as she returns his smile.
AN: This is another idea that suddenly came to me. This is just a drabble. I'm not sure if I should turn it into a multi-chapter since I already have so many.
