Lilith Carrington, a 1994 Hogwarts graduate, an idol to most students, and some would say, a legend. The girl has a knack for reading, and she was gifted with a photographic memory, causing her to easily process things. The young Carrington also has an intelligent mind, a core for the talents she has.

Not only was the girl gifted with intelligence, but she was also gifted with unbelievable beauty. Despite all that, the girl was one of the kindest human being everyone has come across. The said girl loves helping others, which ultimately caused her busy schedule. It was hard to dislike the girl with all her traits.

Despite seeming like she had a perfect life, she, in fact did not. Her life was just simply empty before Hogwarts. She was left to live with two house elves, who took care of her whole life. Both her parents were two powerful pureblooded wizard and witches who were killed when they refused to join the Death Eaters.

That unfaithful night on the 21st January of 1979, caused both of the Carrington's life. Unknown to the group of Death Eaters who rounded the couple that night, the Carrington's had a secret room behind one of the library's shelves, where they hid their beloved daughter with their two loyal house elves.

The incident was the main cause of the young Carrington's life goal.

Lilith Carrington met Harry Potter at a very young age. Only when she was 9 did she see a 5-year old Harry Potter sitting alone on a park swing one day. She immediately felt a pull to the boy, without knowing his identity, she walked over to him. However, when he introduced himself as Harry Potter with a toothy grin, only did she widen her eyes in surprise.

She had grown up with the story of the young hero who saved the whole wizarding world. But then the 5 year old had told her stories of her spoilt cousin who bullied him his whole life. There and then, she decided that she would always be there for the scarred boy.

Ever since then, the girl and the boy grew an unlikely friendship, spending every birthday together and every evening before she had to attend Hogwarts. The bespectacled boy was extremely upset when he found out his only friend would be attending a boarding school far away from him.

But she had promised that she would return every Christmas and Summer just to see him. This made the younger boy feel slightly better.

So, when the 31st of July, 1991 came, she was quite upset when she found out the Dursleys had brought him away for a few days. But Harry had told her about their strange behavior of keeping his letters away. This had slightly angered the teen, but she had hold back from hexing the cow.

She was extremely pleased when Harry told her Hagrid had visited him the night of his birthday, informing him that he was a wizard, and that Hagrid told him she attended Hogwarts. The teenager had joined the pair on shopping for their school supplies, and accompanying Harry to get his first ever wand. There was strange glint on the old man's eyes when he saw Lilith enter with an 11-year old Harry Potter.

Strange.

Years later, she still took care of him during her Hogwarts years, helping Harry with every near-death experiences that happened on his life, helping him on his studies, his Triwizard tasks, and his stupidly endangering activities. The girl tried her best to stop him, but the stubborn boy refused to back down, and Lilith, being the mother hen she was, decided to join him on his suicide missions.

Harry treated the older girl as if she was his own mother, often calling her 'Mum' as a joke, which would usually bring a bright smile on her face. The relationship the two had was unique, they had a strange bond. They tell the other everything, even secrets that are supposed to be kept to themselves.
