Lily sat up quickly when Professor Binns said her father's name, correctly. She stared at the ghost than at Cassie and Hugo and looked around. Her father was standing at the door, Professor McGonagall standing beside him. Lily knew that it was because of the short conversation she had had with her parents this morning before she had been cornered by him.

'Harry Potter,' the whispers around her were unbearable as they stared at her father than at her.

'Hey Uncle Harry!' Hugo shouted, waving.

'Hey Hugo,' Harry smiled, 'sorry Professor Binns, but I need to talk to Lily Potter,'

'Sure Mr Pedder,' Binns said lightly before continuing his lecture. Lily looked at Hugo and Cassie before grabbing her stuff and putting it into her bag and walking out of the classroom quickly.

'Your mother is waiting in the Memorial Corridor,' Harry said, 'we've charmed the hallway so no one could hear.'

Lily merely nodded and looked over her shoulder. She felt like she was being watched and it made her shiver. She looked around the portraits of Hogwarts. They were like mad men, trying to get a glimpse of the Chosen One and his daughter.

'How is Hogwarts, Lily?' Harry asked, looking at her.

'It's been good, especially since Rose threatened to curse anyone who made fun of me again.' Lily said.

'She's like her father,' Minerva smiled, 'with her mother's brains. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.'

'Oh please, wait until the annual Yule Ball in a few years and she wants to go with Scorpius,' Harry laughed, 'then we'll see Ron coming out.'

'I do remember the rumours about that,' Minerva said, 'very eccentric rumours I must say.'

'Hugo is like Ron as well,' Harry said, 'with Ron's blindness as well towards anything.'

'They both have their mother as well,' Minerva said, 'both hard-working and they only like reason.'

Lily stared at the ground as she walked towards the Memorial corridor. In that corridor was her grandparents, Sirius, Remus, Tonks, Fred and many others. She often came and talked to them when she felt lonely or Cassie had to work on late homework with Hugo which was often. She usually tried to help them but Hugo wouldn't take her reasoning on the answers and Cassie was a procrastinator.

Her Uncle Fred loved to cause mischief around the castle, often helping James, Fred and Louis. He gave them creative ideas that got them detentions. Sirius and her grandfather joined by Remus sometimes joined on with them. Lily and Tonks went around the castle laughing their heads off with each other.

'Harry!' A happy voice said. 'Lily! Minerva! It's wonderful to see you!' Lily smiled at the dark red headed woman with bright green eyes like her father and Albus.

'Wotcher,' Tonks grinned, her hair a vivid red today, making look like a long lost cousin of the Weasleys.

'Where's James, Sirius, Fred and Remus?' Minerva said.

'Distracting James, Fred and Louis from classes,' Lily said, rolling her eyes, 'what else would they do?'

'I should go get them.' Minerva sighed.

'No need, Minerva,' an annoyed voice said, 'I got them.'

Lily saw her mother walking towards them, laughter echoing behind her and Lily knew it was James, Sirius, Fred and Remus. She couldn't help but smile a little.

'Hello chipmunk!' Sirius said.

'What have I told you Uncle Sirius?' Lily said, rolling her eyes. 'Don't call me chipmunk!''

'Where's the fun in that, young one?' Fred smirked.

'Uncle Fred,' Lily warned.

'I'd watch that Fred,' Ginny said casually, 'she's got the Weasley temper.'

'Anyway,' Minerva said, staring at them, 'we came here for a reason,'

'Yes, that,' Harry sighed, scratching the back of his neck. He was saved by Hermione and Ron showing up, in fits of laughter.

'It's the two love birds!' Fred laughed. Hermione went a deep red and Ron smirked at him.

'Wotcher!' Tonks said happily.

'Good morning Tonks,' Hermione said, 'so where were we?'

'I was about to tell them,' Harry sighed.

'Can't I leave?' Lily asked. 'There's really no reason-'

'No you can't Lily,' Ginny said sharply, 'this concerns you greatly,'

'I'm missing out on class,' Lily said lamely.

'Lily Luna Potter, I do not care,' Ginny said, staring at her, 'you will stay here, and you will listen to your family's advice.'

'So why have we been summoned?' Fred asked. 'Cause I know three boys who need to make mischief and I need to join them.'

'There's a prophecy concerning Lily,' Hermione said, 'and it's rather- concerning if I must say so myself.'

'Why?' They asked.

'I'll just tell them,' Lily muttered, 'the Prophecy about me, now that's fun isn't it? Imagine when I woke this morning, drenched in sweat because I had a reoccurring dream about a Prophecy which stated; The daughter born of fame and poor will be born on the date of the fame's fortune. She'll be born with abilities not seen since the time of a man called Merlin. She'll have the abilities to detect lies, to see the future and to control anything she desires without the use of a wand. She'll be a fair person with kindness as her true person, but not without heart ache- her life will take a down fall but it doesn't have to be that way- without her mother or father. They must guide her on the journey with her two brothers to becoming powerful- more powerful than the name of Merlin himself- but if she's led astray, she'll be worse than her parent's worst enemy- the man who marked him as his equal, and that shall be a day that all should fear shall it come.

'Now, I mirrored mum and dad and asked them if Prophecies could be about just one person and dad said yes. I recited the same Prophecy to them and they told me that it was concerning me! I didn't even question it, because who's my parents worst enemy? Voldemort of course! Well imagine me, I don't want to- I don't want to have the potential to be worse than Voldemort! I don't want- I don't want to be more powerful than Merlin!

'Then imagine my surprise when I learnt that my mother and father knew about this prophecy! They've known for a few days and they didn't tell me! They should have told the minute they found out but they didn't! They didn't tell me AT ALL!' Lily rounded on her parents, very angry.

'Lily you don't understand-' Harry said and Lily felt angrier.

'I don't understand it? Of course I understand things! I'm not a loner for no reason now am I?' Lily said, glaring at her father. 'But it's because I'm a kid now isn't it?'

'Lily-' Harry said.

'I'm going back to class,' Lily said coldly. She stalked off, her parents protesting.

She walked back to History of Magic and knocked on the door. Everyone stared openly at her as Professor Binns told her to sit down and she sat between Cassie and Hugo.

'Why did Uncle Harry want you?' Hugo asked.

'I'll tell you both later.' Lily muttered darkly. They mindlessly played hangman on the corner of her parchment for fifteen minutes, when there was a knock on the door and the bell went. Binns stopped talking and vanished through the blackboard. They all looked at the person at the door and the whispers started again. Her father was standing at the door, looking at her.

'Harry Potter,' the whispers started as they left the room, finally seeing the familial connection between Lily and Harry. Lily glared at her father and walked past him, as Hugo said goodbye to Harry. Cassie waved at Harry and Hugo and Cassie walked away.

'Lily Potter!' Harry said loudly.

'What?' Lily asked. People around them stared at her and Harry openly, and started to whisper.

'Get back here, now please,' Harry said, staring at her.

'No thanks,' Lily said coldly, 'I want to have lunch,'

'Get back here now!' Harry said. Lily turned to face her father.

'I said no.' Lily said. 'Or don't you understand that? It's because I'm eleven isn't it? We both know I'm older than eleven dad!'

'Because I didn't want you to feel pressured!' Harry yelled. The whole school was staring at us as our argument intensified. We didn't notice however and my mother's temper, mixed with my father's was coming out and it was never a good thing, especially since Lily Potter was the quiet girl who only talked to family and friends and a girl who was kind to anything that moved.

'I don't feel pressured!' Lily shouted. 'I'm not you!'

'Lily!' Lily turned on her heel and saw both of her brothers standing there. She glared at them both and turned to her father.

'I don't want to talk to you ever again!' She yelled, tears falling down her face. 'Until you can accept the fact that I'm not you, daddy. I'm-'

She looked her brothers and past the crowd, tears streaming down her face. She had seen the hurt flash across her father's face, but at the moment, she was incredibly emotional, and she did stupid and hurtful things when she was emotional, including hurting her father, who at times felt like her best friend. She felt horrible and hoped that he wouldn't be angry with her.

Suddenly the ground began to shake. She looked at her mother and her aunt and uncle before looking at her father. This was her. She was doing this unintentionally. She stared at her father for a second longer before running through the crowd and running towards the Quidditch Pitch.

She thought of grabbing a broom but she didn't, instead opting to sit on the grass, near the Hufflepuff stands. She felt horrible. She had hurt her father beyond measure. They probably would never have the same relationship again and the Daily Prophet would have a field day.

Her father's imagine would be ruined because of his stupid emotional daughter. He would be fired from his job at the Auror Department, and she would be to blame. She let the tears fall but stopped. She needed to get her anger out.

She went to the school broom cupboard and grabbed her broom that her brother's had sneaked in for her. It was now an old broom that she had gotten from her parents because she had used her one before it too much and it had been dangerous to ride. She had better brooms, but to not make people jealous, she had just grabbed that one.

She went to the middle of the pitch and stared at the broom. She suddenly brought it over her head and smashed it on the ground. Sticks went everywhere and for some unknown reason, it made her feel a hundred times better. She smashed the broom until it was in little pieces and she stared at her now broken broom.

It now looked how she felt and she collapsed to her knees. This wasn't how Hogwarts was supposed to go. It was meant to be full of fun and laughter and classes and friends and family instead of fights and secrets and rumours and people trying to mentally torture her. She wanted to have adventures, to prove that she was more than a famous name with her kindness and smarts and bravery and ambition but it was falling to pieces, and Hogwarts had only started two weeks ago.

'Lily,' a quiet voice said. Lily said nothing as her father sat next to her, grabbing a piece from her broomstick. She watched as he twirled it in his fingers and she grabbed her father's hand.

'I'm sorry, dad,' Lily said, 'I didn't mean it, dad,'

'Lily the thing is, that we mean every word we say, even to a point of a percent. You don't want to up to the name.' Harry said sighing. 'Because I don't either Lily.'

'I don't want any of it.' Lily said, staring off into the distance.

'I didn't either Lily, but that didn't change a thing about it, we just have to deal with it, as a family.' Harry said.

'What if- what if I turn bad dad?' Lily asked softly.

'I'd rather die a thousand times than let that happen to you Lily,' Harry said, now looking at her.

'I love you dad,' Lily said, hugging him.

'I love you too sweetheart.' Harry said, kissing her head softly. 'Now let's go back to the castle.'

'Okay,' Lily said quietly.

Lily didn't notice Victor Nott in the stands, grinning wickedly.
