Gryffindor's Lily

Ginny Weasley had just given birth to her third child and her first girl. Lily Luna Potter's eyes were already open and looking into her mother's eyes with a smile on her face.

"Mummy. Can I hold her?"

"Of course James. Just sit down." As James sat down on the chair next to his mum, Ginny handed Lily to him. She was the tinniest baby, though she didn't cry in his arms but snuggled closer to him.

Harry and Ginny smiled. There was nothing stronger than family love, and they saw that between their two children.

"I promise to take care of you and be a good brother." Everyone in the family smiled at this while James planted a kiss on Lily's forehead.

Lily Luna loved her brothers like no one else. They were always there for her and would only let her have the best.

Growing up, the Daily Prophet followed them around because they were the children of the Chosen One. Either Teddy, Harry or Ginny took them anywhere they needed to go and being the children of the Head of Auroras, Harry was rarely around during the day but usually had an Aurora watching over them at all times.

Being the only girl, Lily was followed where ever she went. But Harry did everything in his power to keep the Daily Prophet out of their lives. Though it was never enough. James and Al never let anyone within a meter of her unless she said it was okay. They stood up for her and never let anyone hurt her.

Watching James go, I was pretty sure I can see some hidden cameras. Hugging him like a thousand hugs so that he almost misses the train. Luckily, he gets on safely.

Waving goodbye to him, I knew it's going to be different without him.

Going through the wall for the second time, I know there would only be three people coming back out. There will be no James or Al to bug and play with.

"You'll be fine Lils. We'll write to you five times a week." I can see tears rolling down my eyes and I can't stop them. I am really going to be away from the for two year only seeing them on holidays.

"I'm going miss you guys." Giving them both a hug, my one with Al is long but the big hug James gives me would make me never want to leave. Putting my head against his chest, he hugs me even tighter and places a kiss on my forehead. It's warm and filled with love, but I soon have to let him go.

Wiping away the tears from my face, James and Al get on the train after saying goodbye to mum and dad.

Waving as the train left, I felt like my arm was going to fall off. When they were out of sight, I turn back to mum and dad and we walk back to the car where the boot is empty and I have the three back seats to myself.

As we enter the house, everything is quiet and it feels a little empty.

"Lily." I turn to mum. "They'll be back for Christmas, but from what I heard we are going to be getting a lot of mail, so why don't we go to Diagon Alley?"

"That would be nice." Mum apparatus both of us to Diagon Alley and it seems a little empty without school children, but it was still very lively. As we walk to the Emporium there weren't a lot of people paying attention to us, but then again we do try to blend in.

Stepping into the Emporium, animal noises filled me.

"What do you want darling?"

"I was thinking an owl." As we walk around the owl section, nothing seems right to me. "Nothing?" I shake my head and walk around once more.

"Can't find one for you?" I turn around to see the shop keeper standing there.

"No."

"Why don't you come with me." I look to mum and she nods her head and I follow the man to the back of the shop.

"Just yesterday, I found a cardboard box in front of my shop. When I opened it, I found three baby owls inside. I usually don't sell babies but who could get rid of them?" As we stop walking he pulls out a mat from the floor. Pulling it out, I see three tinny owls there hooting away.

They aren't very big but they will grow. I recognise them as barn owls but they all have different shades of colours. One white with black strix , another white with brown strix and the last white and around its eye it is brown.

Putting out my hand they all seem distant but soon let me pat them. Picking them up one by one, the first stands out the most. It sits on my shoulder and rubs his head against my neck. I know he's the one, and he just looks so cute all white with brown strix.

"I think you've found a match."

"I think I have."

"Just be careful of this little guy, it will take him about a month before he can fly so keep him inside." As the shop keeper places him in a small cage and carries him to the front desk mum is there and pays for him.

"He's cute."

"I know." After mum pays for him we floo home with my hand tightly grasping my new owl. Stepping out of the fire place, I take my new owl out of his cage and set it down on one of the chairs.

"What are you going to call him?"

"I like the name Felix." The owl's head goes up at this. "And I think he likes it too."

"Okay just make sure you take care of him and don't let him go outside before a month has past."

"I won't mum, I'm going to go up to my room." Allowing Felix to climb onto my hand I walk up the stairs. Felix explores my bedroom but ends up lying on my pillow.

When James and Al come home, I couldn't be more excited. Now Felix can fly and he always shows off, but he still takes my letters where ever they need to go.

"James, Al, this is Felix." They turn to Felix. "He's my owl and has been taking my letters to you." As I stroke up, he jumps onto my shoulder.

"He's cute, though, isn't he a little small?"

"That's because he hasn't fully grown yet. The shop keeper at the Emporium found him at his door step with two others." Then Felix flies out of the through the window to join the other family owls.

I couldn't be happier to see James and Al, it seemed like forever since I saw them but they always kept me informed about what is happening.

This is my first ever fanfiction, so please read and review.
