All of the students sat in the Great Hall for the end-of-year feast, ready to eat their last meal at Hogwarts, till next year. The Great hall was decked out in the Ravenclaw colours of blue and bronze to celebrate them winning the House Cup. A huge banner showing the Ravenclaw eagle covered the wall behind the High Table. Professor Flitwick wore a large grin, showing that he was very proud of his students. 

The whole of Slytherin kept grumbling about how it should have been them winning the House Cup. Melissa and her minions glared at the Ravenclaws as if they would turn into dust if they glared hard enough. Although Hufflepuff and Gryffindor didn't win, they didn't take it to heart, instead they resorted to telling each other that they would be the one winning the Cup next year.

The Great Hall fell silent as Professor McGonagall stood from her seat. "Well, another year has come to an end," she began. "I hope everyone had a wonderful year, and learned a lot this year, the House Cup does need awarding and the points stand as such: in fourth place, Hufflepuff, with three hundred and fifty-two points; in third, Slytherin, with four hundred and thirty-one points; Gryffindor have four hundred and thirty-three points while Ravenclaw has four hundred and thirty-four points."

A storm of cheering broke out from the Ravenclaw table. Everyone clapping and hugging. 

Everyone ate dinner and spoke to their friends animatedly. Hugo stuffed his face with food as Poppy spoke to him and his cousin, Lily was in her own world as she looked at Professor Addelshaw and tried to figure out her lie.

Lily had almost forgotten about the exam results, but they did come. To Lily's utter surprise, both she and Hugo passed with rather good marks while Poppy was the top of their year.

Suddenly, their wardrobes were empty, their trunks were packed and notes were handed out to all children, warning them not to use magic over the holidays, ("I always hope they'll forget to give us these" James Potter said sadly as his cousin agreed with him, sounding an awful lot like his late uncle); Hagrid was there to take them down to the fleet of boats that sailed across the lake. 

The children were soon boarding the Hogwarts Express, talking and laughing as the green countryside passed them by. They ate Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans as James and Fred pulled pranks on the other children. They removed their wizarding robes and put their jackets and coats on as the train pulled into King's Cross Station.

"You must visit us this summer," Poppy said as she looked at her best friends. "Sure! send us an owl and we'll be there" Lily said as she hugged her friend goodbye and looked for her family. She soon noticed a familiar mop of orange hair and ran towards her uncle, with her cousin in tow. 

Hugo and Lily came to a sudden stop when they noticed that this man was much younger than Ron. "Um, excuse me?" Hugo said as the man turned around. "TEDDY!" Lily screamed as she jumped into the young man's arms, throwing him off balance for a minute. Teddy chuckled as he hugged Lily and Hugo. "What are you doing here!?" James exclaimed as he hugged Teddy. "I came here to help your father with bringing you guys home," Teddy answered with a small smile. "No hug for me?" said a sad voice from behind Teddy. "DADDY!" Lily exclaimed as she ran into her father's arms. Although she had been writing to her parents every day, she missed them badly. 

"Hey Lils, I get that you missed everyone, but could you please screaming, Merlin my ears hurt," James said as he rubbed his ears. "Let your sister have her moment, she's never been away from family before," said a familiar voice. "I get that uncle Ron, but she's acting like she hasn't seen them for more than a year whereas she just saw them for Christmas and Easter break!"James exclaimed again which earned him a smack on his head from Teddy. "UNCLE RON!" Lily screamed out on purpose which caused everyone to laugh at James who acted as if he was going to faint.

"Alright, let's go home, your mothers and Grandmother are waiting for you," Harry said as they headed towards the ticket barrier, where an old guard let them out in twos and threes so they didn't attract a lot of attention.

A/N: I apologize for the small chapter, not updating and moving the story so fast, but the thing is that I want to show Lily's whole Life in this book itself, instead of making more books. I have been having some personal issues which is why I haven't updated the book in more than two weeks. I will be updating this book every Sunday. and I must warn you that this book might be moving a little fast... but please bear with me.
