For those who haven't read my stories before, my name used to be River Potter and now I'm changing it for a last time to Mrs. Pepper Stark, I recently got a new laptop so sorry if the format is a bit different, I'm not using word so I haven't got a clue what's going to happen- I normally use windows.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter

There I was, on another painful afternoon sitting in our backyard watching James, Albus and Scorpius playing Football, it's been like this for the past elven years of my life. Not anymore, I'll be going to Hogwarts- where I can make my own friends and not be plastered to James' hip twenty four seven. I pretend to be interested as Scorpius nearly scores a goal, but Albus blocks it; why couldn't I have my own friends? Why do with have to be stuck in a muggle town with no wizards or witches?

"Lily, what are you doing?" Scorpius asks me as he comes up to me, I jump from shock suddenly realising they've all stopped playing- and there feet are firmly on the ground right near me. "Thinking, why?" I say, as I twirl my hand around my finger trying to grasp onto reality.

"You look worried." He whispers as Al and James start making kissing noises, I roll my eyes at them. They are so immature. "Just thinking about Hogwarts, go back to them before they tease you any longer." I say in a force full tone, it's known throughout the Weasly and Potter families that Scorpius has a crush on me, Lily Luna Potter- but I'm not that into him, or into anyone for that matter. In the end when I found out, I just play it cool around him- I could never really hurt someones feelings, I guess you could call me a Daddy's girl.

I stand up since Scorpius still hasn't left, I turn around flicking my hair trying to block my view from his confused face; my read hair instantly falls across my hazel eyes as I walk back to the house trying to block out the three boy's whispers about the four different houses; I really haven't a clue which one I'll be in, James and Al are in Slytherin with Scor, but I have a feeling I won't be in that house. I might possibly be a Gryffindor, but all I've ever wished for since I was nine is to be in Ravenclaw, I am the smartest in my family and I love potions.

"Lily, you're not out playing with the boys?" My mother asks me, I send her a confused look as I see her sitting next to Mrs. Malfoy, she never comes over when Scorpius is over at the same time- it confuses me so much that my mother nearly has to spell it out for me when she finally does answer my confused face.

"Mrs. Malfoy was telling me about Scorpius' birthday party, remember his birthday is always the day before school starts? Would you like to help us plan? Mother says, this nearly makes my mind scream- especially when Mrs. Malfoy winks at me, why do they all think I like Scorpius? It's the other way around!

"No thank you, I'm going over to visit Rose if that's okay with you." I ask nicely, doing my best puppy dog face- which earns me a sigh of annoyance but mother still agrees, I say goodbye to Mrs. Malfoy politely, thanking her for considering me as a helper; she simply nods as I make the way to the Potter fireplace, I grab the floo powder and shout "Weasly Home" before I find myself in flames that do not burn, fireplaces come up and down in my viewing range- I don't step out till I see Rose lying on the couch reading Hogwarts History.

"Hey Rose." I say loudly as I step into her home, she nearly jumps from shock like I had previously; she says hi back and I follow her to her room, I breath in her familiar scent as I walk inside, I'm so thankful Uncle Ron wanted to live in a wizard community, otherwise I wouldn't even have known about Diagon alley until I was elven. My parents like keeping secrets; that normally annoy me to death until I'm able to plead Al for the answers, for some reason father only tells him about these secrets, not even James- which annoys him so much like it annoys me.

"What's been up with Scorpius lately?" Rose asks me smiling as we sit on her green bed, hardly contrasting with her bright red hair that stands out most in her green and silver room. "What do you mean?" I ask her, as she leans over and grabs her muggle camera, I realises she's been spying on him- why can't he like Rose instead of me? That way he can get on with his life. "See?" She questions me as she presses play on a video, it's him sitting by himself next to Albus, they're just talking but the whole time Scorpius only nods, other people won't realise what's wrong with him, but I do- he loves talking. "Look, he's not MY problem! Why does everyone always think Scorpius is MY problem?" I exclaim as I look outside her window, Scor's gloomy grey eyes come to my mind as the video finishes, I suppose I could be his friend- but why me?

"Lily Potter, until you get your facts straight; I'm not talking to you." Rose says angrily, I just laugh at her as I leave her room, she can't go a day without talking to me, but then I stop as I reach her fireplace; Rose acts completely different when the situation is about Scorpius, why does everyone except me to do something? I'm eleven, give me a break.

The Day before school

"Happy Birthday Scorpius." I struggle to say as I pass him a neatly wrapped present from our family, he just grins at me and suddenly I'm wrapped up in his arms- I feel my whole body go stiff as his cinnamon scent reaches my nose, I try not to squirm as he finally lets go.

"Thank you Lily, I hope you get into Slytherin." He says smirking, I just put on a blank face as I enter his party; the boy is thirteen now- but I have a feeling that Ravenclaw will be my house, or in the worst case Gryffindor; either way I won't be in Slytherin, not with him- even if there might be a day I regret thinking this.

"Hey, Why isn't my sister talking to you?" Hugo asks as soon as he sees me, I sigh as I tell him it's complicated he nods and clearly understands as he moves behind me to talk to the rest of my family. "Lily, only you can make the right decision." I hear Luna suddenly say, I'm clearly shocked as I turn around to see her, then I remember she is friends with Mrs. Malfoy, somehow. "Even if it means to hurt someone?" I ask pleading for advice, she must know something was wrong, Luna always knows when something's not right.

"Everyone heals, everyone chooses; everyone makes mistakes- now it's your turn." She answers half smiling, I nod at her as I go stand next to Rose awkwardly, man- this was going to be a long party.

Sorting Houses (Hogwarts)

I hear my full name spoken, everyone is staring at me as I go sit on the cold stool, I can tell what they are thinking- another Potter, why did my brothers have to cream off my father's legacy? I'm not like that, I make my own fame; if I want fame.

"You're sneaky, smart, not so loyal, but you don't want to be in an ordinary house do you?" The sorting hat asks me, but it's right, I want to be in an fantastic house, please put me in Ravenclaw, please I whisper as it makes up his mind, everyone's staring at me as the hat continues to talk about my personality, until-

"Slytherin!" What? Slytherin? I am not going, I will not be in that house. I stubbornly sit on the stool and don't get up, suddenly everyone's whispering to each other, the sorting hat didn't follow my command, father said it will!

Trust me Lily, there's a reason you are in Slytherin. Go along and sit down with your brothers.

The sorting hat had said in my mind, I grimace as the teacher finally takes of the hat, I go sit in the middle of James and Al, trying to get get away from Scorpius; so much for not being stuck at James hip- it's like home all over again.

What was I going to do?

So in this fan fic, Lily is 11 years old, Al & Scor are 13, James is 14. I'm not sure where I'm going in this story, but don't worry- Scorpius and Lily will end up together. Thanks for reading, No Flames please.
