I am not blond, nor have I written any books. Please take this as my stating that I do not own Harry Potter.
I do hope that you enjoy my fan fiction.
Christmas was kind of depressing. Her parents tried to act as if nothing was wrong but she could tell that they missed Petunia. She had just stayed in the smallest room. She hadn't wanted to move any of Petunia's things, and she was fine there. She finally made it back to Hogwarts.
Her pensive was no longer a Horcrux, and when she checked that spell had finished. She cast lots of spells and then took the bracelet; it appeared to be gold and ruby, although it could have been fake. She thought it looked good, so kept it, perhaps one day she would wear it. Once she was through figuring out the spells on it she decided to disillusion it and wear it now.
She was sneaking about one night when she realized that she was being followed. She had known that James was trying to figure out where she disappeared to. She tried some spells but couldn't find anyone, so tried her helmet. It worked perfectly, mostly because the cloak made him invisible not intangible. She agreed to go to Hogsmead with him if he would go back.
She found herself dating James. She wasn't sure how it quite happened but he really was cute and even nice. Although she was trying to win the prank war, and hadn't told him that she was the other person doing pranks.
She was in Hogsmead coming out of the Three Broomsticks, with James and a few others, when the Death Eaters attacked. They were using killing curses. The residents and students were mostly using stunning spells, she was using harsher methods. She was killing them. She used nothing dark but reducto to the head still killed, as did ice lance spells.
She could feel James by her side returning spell fire. She could even feel how everyone paused when Voldemort himself showed up. She didn't pause but kept firing. She did not want to fight him but knew that if she died at least he wouldn't be able to hurt her child. She kept fighting Death Eaters, until she killed the one that she was engaged in and found herself facing Voldemort.
She was scared but on an adrenalin high, she kept casting. He was much better than she could ever hope to be. He finally hit her with the killing curse. Time slowed down as she fell, she for a second wondered what it would be like on the other side, if she too would see Kings Cross.
Voldemort had laughed and turned away, but a few people had noticed. Then she blinked and got up. She cast a bone break spell at his spine, followed by a reducto to his head, followed by an ice lance through his heart. She followed that up by casting reducto again.
Dumbledore chose that second to show up, she suspected that he had been waiting for her death, so he could battle Voldemort and appear the hero. Before he could even ask, Severus (Snape) Prince cast the killing curse from less than two feet away directly into his back. Per the spell that she had cast on Prince he then cast the killing curse on himself.
Afterwards she wondered about fate, was Sev fated to kill Dumbledore, or was it just coincidence that he had killed him yet again?
There was mass chaos both Lord Voldemort and Dumbledore were dead. Someone had lived through the killing curse. That someone being a muggleborn sixteen year old made it even bigger news. Lily managed to steal the Elder Wand during all the chaos.
Within the week every Death Eater had died, all by their own hands. Many old pureblood houses were without heirs. It was the start of change.
Lily had spent what seemed an eternity answering questions. She now sported the lightning bolt scar on her face, except hers was to the left of her left eye, halfway between the eye and her hair. She wondered if she too was a Horcrux, but happily knew that the ritual going on in the Chamber would take care of it. Mostly because of public opinion they gave her an Order of Merlin.
After she had finished her last OWL she had been called into the Headmistresses office. Professor McGonagall was now the Headmistress. Dumbledore's portrait wanted to talk to her. He was upset that she had killed Voldemort and the other Death Eaters; he still believed that they could be rehabilitated. He also suspected that she had something to do with the surviving Death Eaters all committing suicide.
McGonagall had sat in and seemed to be infuriated that he would say such things. Lily just laughed at him and said that while Dumbledore was an ex-lover of his Dark Lord, Lily had no such reason to leave the murdering bastard alive. He sputtered, and tried to do the twinkling, she just ignored him.
When she interviewed with the paper the next day she mentioned the meeting. Of course, everyone wanted to know what was discussed. She told them all about being berated by Dumbledore for actually defending herself. When they asked McGonagall she confirmed the whole thing.
Lily continued to invent spells and potions. Most were of her own creation, but some from the trunk.
Her and James did become Head Girl and Head Boy. They eventually married and had four children. The first Harry James Potter, followed by the twins Rose Lillian Potter and Gregory Thomas Potter, and their last child Christopher David Potter. She made a point of making sure that they all grew up in both worlds, in fact they all went to muggle schools until their letter arrived.
Harry met and befriended Hermione at the age of seven. Lily was very happy about it. Hanging out at Harry's house exposed Hermione to a lot of things that she wouldn't normally be exposed to. With James and Sirius around teaching them how to prank, she loosened up. By the time they boarded the express Hermione no longer worshiped authority figures.
Alice and Frank had married. Neville Longbottom was born a little over a year later. They also had two other children, all of who were well loved. Neville was a fixture over at the Potter house and also befriended Hermione. Lily liked to think of them as the golden trio.
She had thought that Peter had become an alright person until he was found in a muggle hotel room. He had tried to obliterate memories from a woman he had raped and robbed, and instead cast the spell on himself until he passed out. Like Lockhart he had destroyed his mind, and would remain in a vegetative state until death.
Sirius Black eventually settled down and married. He even had a few children. His father had been impressed that a muggleborn girl had defeated Voldemort. Sirius eventually became Lord Black, something that he thought would never happen.
After much research Lily finally convinced Remus that the curse would not be passed to his child, and he too married. His wife had been a Hufflepuff student in the year below them. They had two children. Because of all the deaths certain laws were never passed and Remus was able to be a working productive member of society.
Thanks to all of the deaths among the purebloods, laws changed. While it took time eventually by the time Harry was four muggleborns had the same rights as the purebloods. Lord Potter was a leading advocate of the change.
James' parents lived to a ripe old age and then gently passed onto the next great adventure. Lily's Gran had died during her NEWT year, of a stroke and was greatly mourned. Her parents lived at #4 Privet Drive until they too passed of old age.
Professor McGonagall had been so incensed at Dumbledore berating a child that she ordered his portrait to be quiet and only talk when specifically asked a question. She became a great Headmistress. Teachers were fair with everyone and bullying behavior was not tolerated. She brought in new classes including ones that had been canceled by Dumbledore such as the study of the wizarding world, enchanting, and how to create spells.
Under her leadership academic standards rose to unheard of heights. She also disbanded the house quiditch teams and let anyone who could get a team together compete. This eventually led to much better players, and even some teams that had members from all four houses. First, second, and third years had their own league and were encouraged to bring brooms.
Since he had so easily been replaced, by someone who did it much better, Dumbledore fell into obscurity. It was perhaps the thing that he had worked hardest not to happen. He was remembered as someone who captured a Dark Lord; although it did come out that they had been lovers. He was also remembered as someone who let academic standards slide, while he pursued his political ambitions. The law was changed and no one person could hold more than one of his jobs at a time.
Molly Weasley had two children who graduated and promptly left the country. Neither of whom moved back after marriage. Mr. Weasley, thanks to new practices in the ministry of promoting the most qualified, never made it past the grade of Clerk.
Lily had a theory as to how she had survived; she assumed that she had died in the alternative future, because Voldemort hadn't used the killing curse but something else. The descriptions always mentioned the green light when he tried to kill Harry, but nothing about before.
After much study she came to the conclusion that she must have been a descendent of the original maker of the spell. She knew that you could make a spell that couldn't be used on your blood decedents, and assumed that that is what happened. In fact she had made a spell that did nothing to her decedents but did something to everyone else. It was a prank that her and Harry played on James and Sirius.
Lily and James grew old playing with their grandkids and great-grandkids. Eventually they too would pass. Lily was still famous for surviving the killing curse, but unlike Harry she had been older and more able to handle the fame. She was also famous for some of her inventions and potions.
The End
