Lily Luna Branches Out

Chapter 1; Meeting Lily Luna

Chapter one; Lily

Lily Luna Potter woke up one morning with a strange feeling in he stomach, and she knew why, her brothers were leaving for Hogwarts today and she wanted to go as well. Looking at her messy bed she sighed. "I don't want to make my bed. KREACHER!" Lily called for the Potter house elf.

"I is here little mistress!" Said the house elf who was dressed in a pillow case.

"I really don't want to make my bed..."

"I is gonna do it for you is you likes it." Kreacher replied

"Would you? Thanks."

"I is wondering, would you like you's own elf? I know a elf who got freed years ago. She is called Winky, she is not liking freedom and she is wanting a master or mistress.

"I is saying that I might find one. You are kind so maybe if you is willing..."

"Hmmm. I will think." Lily said.

Suddenly a voice broke Lily's thoughts.

"Lily if I have to call you again I'll let your brothers have your French toast. Besides we will be late" Mrs. Potter called her voice penetrating four floors.

"Coming Mum! I am getting dressed! Do not let James have my toast not even a crumb! Al might have a piece if he likes" Lily said.

She pulled on her long dressing gown over her night dress and walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth. Ten minutes later she arrived in the kitchen and to her dismay saw that one of her brothers had eaten all of her toast.

"Mum! I said I was coming! Why did you give one of the boys my food? Now I have no breakfast" Lily cried.

"Why Lilian Potter! Would I let you starve? No! Of course not, besides I to-" Mrs. Potter cut her sentence short as she spied Lily's empty plate.

"Harry! Come here please and bring your son along, he has to say something to his sister" turning to Lily she said "Dear I am so sorry. I told them that they that they was not to eat your food."

At that moment Mr. Potter, James, and Al entered. Lily grumpily sat down with some cereal and pumpkin juice.

"Morning Flower! Hi, Hon, what's up? Is something wrong?" Mr. Potter said.

"Daddy, one of the boys ate all of my French toast! So now all I have is Broom Zoomers. It's not fair!" Lily said tearfully.

"Ok okay. Let's not get all huffy and puffy about it. Boys is this true? Because if it is you will not leave for school today." Mr. Potter said, his good naturedness gone.

"Well yeah, kinda, maybe I dunno. I just wanted more food and Lily wasn't here so I you know took a couple slices. It was so good that I just y'know ate it all." James said looking sheepish.

"Well then you young man will not go to Hogwarts today." Mr. Potter said.

"Love, I don't think that we should keep him from school, but we need to go into that little shop on platform nine and three quarters. I need to get some all purpose mess remover for the boys. That's not the point. I think that Lily should be able to pick something there and have James pay for it. What do you think?" Mrs. Potter said thoughtfully.

"You know, that sounds good to me. Lily?"

"I think... Well I don't know , I agree full heartedly on whatever you say as long as justice is served." Lily replied to her parents.

"Lily dear, you should work in the Ministry when you get out if Hogwarts." Mr. Potter chuckled.

"Then we need to hurry. Everyone get your cloaks!" Mrs. Potter said snapping everyone out of the weird silence "James don't dawdle so! Come here Lily and I will here and I will help with those fastening! Harry, comb your hair it looks terrible. JAMES!!!!!" She bellowed as she stepped into a dung-bomb. She cleaned it up with a wave of her wand.
