The Adventures of Lily Luna Potter

Chapter IX

It was the day after Lily's birthday. The sun shone brightly in the sky. It was an extremely noisy morning in the Potter household. "Mummy can we go now?" an over-excited Lily asked her mum as she jumped up and down ready to leave. "Lily if you keep jumping like that you're going to dent the floor," James said annoyed at how excited his little sister was. Lily glared at her older brother which made him shut up, she had a mean glare, much like her mother's and her grandmother's, this made Albus burst with laughter.

A loud smack sounded in the room. "Ow! What was that for!?" Albus exclaimed as he rubbed his head trying to soothe the pain. "First of all you laughed and secondly, I really wanted to hit you," James said as he grinned, which earned him a smack on the head from his mother. "Stop hitting each other!" Ginny exclaimed. "Says the one who just hit me" James murmured under his breath. "What was that?" Ginny questioned. "N-nothing Mum" James managed to stutter out as his siblings snickered at his expense."That's what I thought" Ginny said as Harry walked into the living room.

"Ready everyone?" Harry asked as he checked to see whether he had forgotten anything which earned him a chorus of  "Yes" "Yup" "Yes" And "YES FINALLY!!!". The most excited shout coming from Lily. "Lily, why do you act as if you have never been to Diagon Alley?"James asked curiously.

"Because every other time that we went to Diagon Alley it was for both of you, but this time it is for me too!" Lily answered as she held her father's hand and pulled him towards the fireplace. "Alright everyone takes some of the floo powder," Ginny said as she handed the pot of floo powder around. James was first to go into the fireplace and exclaim "DIAGON ALLEY!" And vanish into green flames. Everyone else followed him and ended up in Diagon Alley.

"Alright Albus and James, the both of you will be coming with me to Flourish & Blotts where we'll buy both of yours and Lily's books and get the cauldrons you need from Potage's Cauldron Shop and anything else you need, meanwhile Harry why don't you take Lily and get her a pet and her wand and then we can meet up at Madam Malkin's to get your robes for the year!" Ginny suggested happily. Everyone agreed and went their respective ways.

"So Lily-pad, what pet is it that you want?" Daddy asked me as I held his hand and walked close to him. "An owl!" I answered without a doubt. I have always wanted an owl, ever since daddy told me stories of Hedwig and how sweet and caring she was. Daddy just nodded his head and lead the way to a shop. When we stopped I looked up at the sign that said Eeylops Owl Emporium. We walked in and I looked around amazed. There were so many owls! "Which one do you want?" Daddy asked me. I looked around for a moment before a specific owl caught my eye.

It was as white as snow, but it had a small black patch on its right leg and it was looking right at me. The moment my eye fell on it I knew, that owl was the one I wanted. "That one," I said as I pointed out the owl that I wanted to my father. Daddy quickly bought the owl and a cage as well as a few treats for her. Daddy handed me my owl and we headed out to go and get me my wand.  I was so excited! I had been waiting for this moment since the day I could remember! I pulled my father towards Ollivanders. I had seen it many times but I hadn't gone in before.

As I pushed the door and walked in I heard the little bell chime indicating that someone had entered the shop. I then saw an old man with white skin and pale silvery eyes poke his head out from one of the many shelves. He looked wise like he had been through a lot. He looked at my father and then looked at me and smiled sweetly. "I was wondering when you would be coming," he said as he walked into an aisle full of boxes. "Hmm let's see." He said as he walked towards me holding a wand in his hand.

He handed the wand to me once he reached my side. I held the wand and looked up at him, not knowing what to do with it."Well go on, Give it a flick!" He said with a smile. I then flicked my wrist which made all of the boxes fly off of the shelves. I quickly kept the wand on the desk, not wanting to cause more damage."Here why don't you try this" He said as he handed me another wand to try. I slowly took the wand in my hand and gave it a swish which made every paper in the room fly haywire. My cheeks reddened from embarrassment as I gave the wand back to Mr.Ollivander. He walked back into an aisle full of wands and searched around a little."Hmmm, I wonder." He wondered out loud from one of the aisles.

He quickly walked over to me and handed me a dark brown wand. I looked at the wand and then at my father, I was scared that this wouldn't work either. Daddy looked down at me and smiled encouragingly. I took a deep breath which helped me gain a little confidence and then carefully took the wand from Mr.Ollivander's hand. The moment I held the wand in my hand sparks erupted from its tip. "That's your wand!" Daddy exclaimed happily."My my, the wand that has chosen you is made of Alder wood and has a Phoenix feather core, 14 1/2 inches, and slightly springy flexibility. You, my child, have a very rare wand. You will grow up to be a strong witch" Mr.Ollivander said as he smiled fondly. I thanked him as daddy paid for the wand.

As we walked out of Ollivanders I looked at my owl who was fast asleep. I smiled as we walked towards Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions to get my robes for the year. The moment we walked in I started looking for my mother and my brothers but I wasn't able to find them. I looked at my father feeling utterly confused."We will be meeting at uncle George's shop, the boys wanted something from there." He answered my question without me having to ask it. I nodded my head and looked up just in time to see Madam Malkin walking towards me with a smile on her face. "Hogwarts, dear?" she asked me happily. I nodded my head and stood on the stool she told me to stand on. She slipped a long robe over my head and began to pin it to the right length.

Once we got my robes we headed towards uncle George and uncle Ron's shop. Weasley's Wizarding Wheeze's was full of witches and wizards as always. I stepped in only to spot my brothers looking at dung bombs. I looked around and found my mum with my uncle George and uncle Ron. Uncle George was the first one to spot me and opened his arms wide for me to run into them. I quickly ran to him before stopping dead in my tracks and looking at him curiously. "Aren't you going to give your favourite uncle a hug?" Uncle George asked me which gained my mums' and uncle Ron's attention."I am her favourite uncle, Not you!" Uncle Ron quickly exclaimed. I ignored them and examined Uncle George. "Ah-Ha!" I exclaimed happily when I found him hiding his famous ELECTRIC SHOCK SHAKE  in his sleeve which caused My mum, my dad, and Uncle Ron to burst out into fits of laughter due to the utter shock on uncle George's face.

I knew my uncles very well and I was known to be one of the biggest pranksters in the family, so I knew these tricks very well. "How did you know!?" Uncle George asked me once the others sobered up. I simply shrugged my shoulders and said: "I know everything about the people that I care about ". That and also because once when I tried hugging uncle George he burst a Dung Bomb and it smelt absolutely revolting. I learnt to always take precautions after that day.
