Problem number 2! Thank you to the people who reviewed and favorited this. As I said it's my first, and I don't quite know how I feel about it. In case you're wondering this takes place when Lily is a teenager. She was 14 for this chapter and the last one, but I might change to another age throughout this.

Of course I'm not J.K. Rowling:D


"Meggie, be careful! Adam put that down!" I called to the two little kids I was babysitting. As usual they didn't listen. It was the third time I got stuck babysitting the Morgan kids over my summer holiday. Mum insisted that I go watch the neighbor's children. Meggie, an energetic five year old was bouncing up and down on a chair after I had told her not to. Adam, a mischievous seven year old was waving around his father's old half- broken wand.

"Lily, how come I can't jump on the chair?" Meggie asked me. I smiled; attempting to get her to understand was not going to be easy.

"Because Meggie, that isn't following the rules." I told her. Meggie made a face, as did Adam who continued to play with the old wand.

"The rules aren't fun Lily." Adam said. Meggie nodded in agreement then went back to jumping. Then I was the one to make a face.

"Please listen" I begged. I knew I probably sounded pathetic, but I didn't know what else to do.

"I don't want to. I wish there was no rules!" Adam yelled as he furiously waved the old broken wand around. Nothing good could happen when a young wizard got angry, but give him a wand and a disaster was bound to happen.

In seconds the tattered wand exploded with a loud booming sound. I looked around to find the room a complete mess covered in a layer of ash. I'm so dead! I thought.

"S-sorry Lily." Adam and Meggie said. Oh yes, sorry is really going to help me explain this to your parents. One check of the time showed that their parents would be home at any moment. Just bloody great! I stood trying to think of what I could possibly say when I heard the front door open and close.

"Lily, we're back! How were the kids?"Mrs. Morgan called. I could hear her high heels clacking against the floor. Each clack made me more nervous. Before I could attempt to stop them, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan had reached the family room where I was with Meggie and Adam. I watched their faces go pale and their mouths drop open. "What happened in here!"Mrs. Morgan screamed at me.

"I-I, it wasn't my fault. Adam found an old wand, and wouldn't put it back. He waved it around after I told him not. It exploded and this happened." I stated; my voice getting quieter as I spoke.

"Lily, you are fourteen years old! You should be more responsible. How could you put my babies in danger by letting them play with that wand?"Mrs. Morgan questioned accusingly.

"But I didn't let them play with it. I told them not to. I tried to take it away from him. He wouldn't listen." I tried desperately to explain.

"I don't care. You should have been more responsible. You were in charge. You are older than them. You are the daughter of Harry and Ginny Potter for Merlin's sake!" She insisted. With that I lost temper. The Weasley fire came out of me.

"So! It wasn't my fault. Just because my parents defeated Voldemort doesn't mean I'm perfect. It is not my fault that your children misbehave and have bad listening skills. Don't EVER ask me to babysit again!" I snapped back. I took my bag from the sofa, pushed past Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, and headed out the door. I ran quickly into my house slamming the door behind me.

"It wasn't my fault! Mrs. Morgan just can't see past her kids' innocent masks!" I yelled to nobody in particular. My mother poked her head out of the kitchen. She had a concerned look on her face.

"Come in here Lily. What's wrong?" Mum asked. I went into the kitchen, and found that my father was there too. I took a seat at the table next to my dad while Mum poured me some tea." So what happened?" she asked again.

"Well, I was watching the kids, and they wouldn't listen. Adam found this old broken looking wand, and started waving it around. I tried to get him stop, but he would not listen. Before I knew he blew up the wand. The whole room was messed up, and covered in ash. When Mr. and Mrs. Morgan got home Mrs. Morgan started yelling at me. She acted as if it was all my fault because her perfect little children couldn't do anything wrong. She told me that I should be more responsible because I'm your daughter. She acts like I'm some super witch just because you defeated Voldemort." I stated. Mum came and sat down while she and Dad laughed. "What's so funny!"I demanded.

"Lily Mrs. Morgan seems to think we're perfect and that you should be perfect. You're not perfect. We know that and don't care; we love you anyway. We aren't perfect either. We've messed up plenty of things. Mrs. Morgan of all people should know that. We went to school with her back when her name was Lavender Brown. She wasn't the most perfect student either though she might think she was. She actually dated Uncle Ron, but he dumped her because she was too clingy." Dad explained. I looked at him shocked. Dad and Mum went to school with Mrs. Morgan! Uncle Ron dated her!

"Wow really! That's slightly creepy, but at least I know that it's okay not to be perfect." I said smiling. Mum and Dad smiled back.

"That's right Lily, perfect isn't everything." Mum stated. Suddenly there was a huge explosion upstairs.

"James did it!" and "Al did it!" We heard my brothers call.

"Though I do wish your brothers could at least try being a little bit more perfect." Mum added.


Ta Da! That's problem two. What did you think of Lily babysitting Lavender's kids? I just think Lavender would be the kid of person who thinks her children are angels who couldn't do anything wrong even when they do. Well, please R&R.
