Lily Luna Potter
Brothers
If anyone asked Lily, she would say she had three brothers. Teddy was as much her brother as Jamie and Albie were (though, admittedly, she had had a small crush on Teddy when she was younger, so there were times when she only had two brothers). It didn't matter to her that Teddy wasn't her brother by blood – her father had taught from an early age that family was more than shared blood. And so she had three brothers. And though at times she would give anything for them to just go away and leave her alone, she was always more than grateful for her brothers.
Knitting
Known fact to the Weasley-Potter clan: Lily loved to knit. She didn't know how the knitting gene had made its way from her loving Grandma through her tomboy mother and trouble making father all the way to her, but it did. As a little girl, she would spend hours sitting at her Grandma's knee, watching in fascination as the stitches appeared. When she was old enough for her hands to be big enough for her to hold her Grandma's smallest needles, her lessons began. She spent years learning all her Grandma's tricks, from the Purl stitch to the box stitch and everything in between. The year she turned sixteen she was given the biggest honour her Grandma could give; Lily was allowed to help make the Weasley sweaters. Year after year, she sat with her Grandma and knitted away. It took hours (the negative side of belonging to a huge family), but they were happy hours. And when her Grandma had long passed away; when she was a Grandnana herself, she still sat by the fire with her baskets of yarn, though this time she knitted for her own children (Elaina and Isaac) and her grandchildren (Jasper, Kim and Sebastian).
Daniel Goldstein
Lily had not realised she had fallen in love with her best friend Daniel for months after her feelings had changed. She had always been close to him; they were close friends and spent most of their time together. She had met Daniel in her first class of Ancient Runes, on the first day of her third year. She recognised him from her Transfiguration and Herbology classes, but they had never spoken much. They bonded quickly over their cluelessness of Charms and their Chocolate Frog card collection. Over the next two years, their friendship had depend enough to know exactly what the other would say without having to ask (though they did ask – both enjoyed their conversations). It was only in their sixth year, after arriving home from the Christmas holidays that Lily realised. Sitting in her room, she thought at how it had only been two hours since she had seen her friends and yet she missed them already. Then she realised, she wasn't missing her friends; she was missing Daniel.
The Knight Bus
Traditionally, Lily's family members have worked for the Ministry of Magic, or other important businesses such as Gringott's or the Daily Prophet. Lily broke this tradition spectacularly by joining the crew aboard the Knight Bus. It was exciting, it was fun and it was different every day. The number of weird and wonderful people she saw on a daily basis and the interesting places she visited (if only for a number of seconds) made up for the odd hours and early hearing loss brought on by the repetitive BANG of the bus as it moved. For eight hours a day (or two, or five, or twelve – it differed each day) she got to wear her vibrant purple uniform (which was just the right shade to clash violently with the bus itself) and manage the three passenger decks with Stan the valet and Meg the driver. Stan had worked on the bus since before she was born but Meg was less experienced than she was, which meant that the driving in the early days was interesting at best and terrifying at worst (though never as terrifying as the time Lily was allowed to take the wheel. Long story short, the she had ended up in a field in Wales surrounded by sheep that were no longer alive and smoking pieced of purple metal. The passengers had not been too pleased with that). If she wasn't on the bus, she'd be in the office (with neon purple walls, of course) with ancient Ernie and the secretary Aidah, working her way through stacks of paperwork and having a laugh. So what if she didn't make as much as her brothers? Lily was happy.
Death
Lily died of Dragon Pox, aged 127. It wasn't surprising really, given her age. Dragon Pox was vicious to the elderly and it was one of those diseases that parents beg their children to get early in order to protect them from it in later life. Lily had never caught the disease, however contagious it was said to be (to her utter disappointment as a child – the sight of Jamie running around with his carrot coloured hair and neon green skin had made her extremely jealous – 'I want to look like a monster too!'). So Lily had known ever since the green tinge appeared on her skin that this was her last struggle, though she would go down fighting. She was a Potter, after all, and a Weasley, though she used the name Goldstein after her marriage to Daniel. The disease claimed her eventually, along with Scorpius Malfoy who had caught the Pox when she did – at the WI (Witch's Institute) charity bingo game. Scorpius' life had ended with the dramatic words; 'Just like my great-grandaddy Abraxius! Aren't I living up to the family name! Tally-ho darling!' Lily's life had ended in a peal of laughter.
Second chapter in two days! This is the beginning of my New Years Resolution to finish all of my unfinished fanfictions. If anyone gets where the 'surrounded my sheep that were no longer alive and pieces of' I shall be very impressed and review at least one of their stories.
