The Story Of Lily Luna Potter: Part 1
written by Briar Rose
You have heard the story of Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy. But what about Albus's younger sister, Lily Luna Potter, the one that was wanting to follow her brothers to Hogwarts two years early? It's time she had her story out in the world too, don't you think?

Chapter Thirteen: Letters
Chapter 13
Lily's heart stopped. Letters! Breakfast was amazingly delicious, but the sight after that was even more delightful. She let out a small squeal.
"Victoire? Why would she send..." she read the letter. She beamed. "Yes, I get you're not engaged... yet, obviously! Oh, it would be so nice if Teddy was really part of the family..."
She began to scribble down a letter, a reply letter, to Victoire, writing that she was delighted Teddy and Victoire were still on dating terms.
"And...ooh, Teddy! Oh, Merlin's beard, you're planning to PROPOSE to Victoire? Please... yes! He says he's gonna do it in the holidays so we can attend... I desperately wish I could be Victoire's Maid of Honour, but I'm sure she'll choose Dominique. Maybe I could be a bridesmaid... but there are loads of others; Molly, Lucy, Roxanne, Rose, then me... can there be that much bridesmaids? But Victoire and Teddy were always close to me, maybe they..." Lily scribbled down the exact things she had said aloud to herself in the letter.
The next letter was the best of all. It was from her parents.
DEAR LILY
Are you good here? James just sent a letter that he discovered Professor Dumbledore was **spoilers for Dumbledore** gay. He said he thought less... okay, he didn't, sorry, Lily, he said he never expected that, and Albus sent nothing. I wonder how Scorpius is doing, really. Albus doesn't send anything, so could you persuade him? We're desperate for news!
Have a good term, Lily!
LOVE, MUM
DEAR MUM
I'm great here, but I'm not sure if I should spill Albus's secrets. He's really secretive, so maybe you can ask him yourself... I'm doing great! As I told you in the last letter, I'm BFFs with Demeter Gardner, and she's proving to be a magnificent choice for a friend! I just learned that Merlin was in Slytherin. No surprise, if you think about it, actually. He was really ambitious, and that led him to succeed in his goals. I think Albus should be proud. Though, I'm proud of being in Albus Dumbledore's House!
Thanks for encouragement!
LOVE, LILY
Lily smiled. She looked at the last letter. It was from her godmother, Luna Scamander.
DEAR LILY
Have you seen Lorcan and Lysander lately? They say they've been Sorted into... Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, but they said they haven't been seeing you for a while. They, especially Lysander, are very disappointed not to see you in their first year. You made the W... something club, after all! My wackiness might prevent them from making excellent friends... luckily I had Ginny, but... oh...
Anyway, please take care of Lorcan and Lysander. I'd very appreciate it...
YOUR GODMOTHER, LUNA SCAMANDER!
There was a picture of a bowtruckle (there was 'Pickett' written next to it) next to Luna's sign.
Lily hesitated. Should she promise? But she didn't want to. Finally, she decided to write the truth... just leaving certain parts, like Lily never sought them, nor she wanted to see them.
LUNA,
I haven't seen Lorcan and Lysander recently, and if I see them, I'll give them your message.
Thanks for writing,
LILY
She left the Owlery, and her heart stopped. The letter to Luna almost became a lie.
