Luce's Book

Ten years ago...

Eight years old Lily Evans ran errands for her mother, buying sliced bread and cheese, something they ran out of for breakfast, when early that morning, she met a pregnant lady dressed in white clothes with some orange in it, and a weird hat.

'Hello dear.' she said as Lily looked up at her nervously.

'H-hello...what can I do for you miss?' Lily asked the woman warily who took out a key and a small box big enough for a notebook, but big enough for two bibles to fit in it.

'Here, a gift.' she said. 'But its a gift you must open only when you're married. Otherwise you will not understand what's in this box. Only open it when you married. It will be of great help to you.' the woman told Lily. 'Until then, hide it, OK?'

'...OK...thanks miss!' and Lily ran home with the box, leaving the woman behind.

'...good luck, little Lily...you'll need it.' she said as she turned away and left.

Present Date, Year 1980...

After giving birth to a daughter, Lyra Estelle Potter at St. Mungo's and receiving a warning from Dumbledore about the Prophecy Trelawney made...

'James...' said Lily, while still recovering in the maternity ward.

'What is it Lils?' James asked his wife as he cradled their baby girl while Lily rested from childbirth.

'Before we go into hiding, I want to go home to my parents...at least I want them to meet Lyra because there's no telling if we'll live or die in this war.' said Lily dreadfully. 'And I just remembered something important too.'

'Something...important?' James blinked at his tired wife.

'Yeah. We'll leave tomorrow...so...tired...' and Lily fell asleep. James wondered what could it be, and the curiosity and suspense is KILLING HIM! Seriously...he pouted but for now, he's babysitting...and good thing for cleaning charms...he never knew how to change diapers...

August 1, sundown...

Through the Knight Bus, they took a trip to Cokeworth. James had to threaten Ernie to be careful with his driving as they have a baby onboard. Upon arrival four hours later...they made a beeline for Lily's Home.

James was just glad that cow Petunia isn't here. She's in College in London living in a women's dorm. Then again, the Evans Residence is protected by a Fidelius Charm and Lily herself is Secret Keeper. Only she and James knew where her parents are.

'Mum, Dad, I'm home!' Lily called out as they went in.

'Oh! Welcome back Lily!' Mr. Evans greeted jovially. 'And good to see you too Ja...i-is that my granddaughter?' he asked in wide-eyed marvel at the bundle in James' arms.

'Yes...this is little Lyra. Lyra Estelle pops.' James grinned. 'We decided to spend a week in here before, well...we go in hiding.' he said as he quickly deflated. Well, its war innit? The in-laws are silent too. They were glad for this Fidelius thing as it hid them from all who wanted to harm them. 'And Lily said she hid something in the house...what is it though Lils?' he asked his wife.

'Well...ten years ago, I met a lady dressed in white.' said Lily. 'A beautiful pregnant lady with a yellow flower mark under her eye and a weird hat she looked like she's carrying a sitting cushion wherever she went.' she chuckled. 'She gave me a box and a key, telling me to open it after I get married...I forgot about it until I gave birth to Lyra. It should be somewhere in the garden since I buried it after chucking it inside a burlap sack...'

'Alright, I'll go get to digging.' said James, giving the baby to his father-in-law. 'No strenuous activities for a week Lils!' he said as he went out.

'Jeez, I rested enough today!' Lily pouted petulantly.

'Well, he still has the jitters.' Mr. Evans chuckled. 'I was just as nuts with your mum when she first gave birth to Tuney and then you.'

'Really now?'

'Really really. We men are more nervous than our wives post-birth and we don't know why!' Mr. Evans sighed as his wife snickered.

James merely used 'Accio buried Burlap Sack!' he commanded as somewhere in the garden close to the pink lily flowers, a sack shot up, and uprooted one of the plants. James meeped and put the plant back in with his years of Herbology experience. He then used Scourgify on the sack before presenting it to his wife in the house.

When Lily opened the box minutes later...it was clearly a homemade book. The family exchanged looks and Lily opened the first page and began reading aloud.

To little Lily Flower,
by the time you opened
this, you're obviously married
and had your daughter little Lyra.
How I know? I have the power to
see the future...and Parallel Future
Worlds that are created based on
various decisions you've made in
the present. A power I cannot control
so I keep seeing a lot of people's futures.
This book I made for you will mostly
help your daughter...for if you die this
year in Halloween, your daughter is in
for pure suffering and your doggy
friend will languish in Azkaban for 13
years framed for a crime he did not do.
To avoid the bad future...read this book.
It will tell you all bad futures I have seen
and how to avoid it for a good ending and
putting an end to your problem. Good Luck.

- Luce

The family exchanged looks and nervously turned to the next page...to see their future.

Hours later, all of them are horrified.

A:N- What Luce wrote down is what will happen and when will it happen and how it will happen in Canon!Harry Potter but with my own twist.
