Liliah Rogers

107

Liliah apparated to the front of the Potter Mansion. She took a deep breath and walked up the steps to the front door. She knocked on it and waited for a response. The door creaked open and Liliah looked down. A little boy with big brown eyes and pink hair looked up at her.

" Hi. I'm Liliah, is Lily or James here?" Liliah asked.
" Auntie Lily! Someone is here to see you!" He shouted.
Liliah smiled in realization. This was Teddy, and obviously he's already picking up on Sirius's habits.
" Teddy who's her-" Lily walked to them but quickly stopped in her tracks when she saw Liliah.
Lily just stared at her not believe what her eyes were telling her.

" Hi mom." Liliah smiled.
" Liliah?" Lily asked.
" Yeah mom. It's me, I'm back. I'm back home." Liliah eyes filled with tears.
Lily let out a broken sob and pulled her daughter into a hug.
" Oh Liliah, my baby. My girl, how-when?" Lily hugged her.
" It's sorta a long story. It would be easier if I told you all at the same time." Liliah told her hugging back.

" All of us? Oh yes of course- all of us." Lily was so happy her daughter was back she almost forgot about the others sitting in her living room.
Lily grabbed her hand and led her and Teddy back into the house.
" James! James! Sirius! Remus!" Lily shouted as she practically dragged Liliah into the living room Teddy excitedly ran behind them.
" Lily flower whats wro-" James stood from the couch.

" Liliah?" James asked.
Remus stood from his seat and Sirius ran out of the kitchen with hands and mouth full of food.
" Hi pops. Remus, Sirius. I'm home." Liliah smiled.
James and Remus stayed still trying to process what was happening. Sirius dropped all the snacks in his hands and rushed towards her. Liliah opened her arms and Sirius tackled her in a hug. Liliah laughed and hugged back tightly.

" I missed you so much Li." Sirius told her.
" I missed you to Pads." Liliah said.
" Move get off! Let me hug my daughter." James pushed Sirius to the side and inserted himself in his spot.
" Hi Pops." Liliah hugged him.
" Oh god Liliah I missed you so much. I couldn't bare to live a life without my little girl." James hugged her close to his chest.
" I'm back now Pops." Liliah told him.

James pulled away and took a good long look at her. Liliah smiled and looked over at Remus. He smiled and walked towards them. James moved and Remus wrapped her in a hug.
" Hi Moony." Liliah said.
" Nice to see you again love." Remus told her.

After two hours of catching up Liliah left her parents house and made her way to Harry and Cedric's house. She knocked on the door of the mansion. She played with her necklace, anxious to see her brother and best friend. The door opened and it was not who Liliah expected.

" Willam?" Liliah asked.
" Liliah? Wha-how?" Will asked.
Liliah opened her mouth to respond but she cut off by Will hugging her. She smiled and hugged back.
" What are you doing here Will. Isn't this Harry and Cedric house?" Liliah asked.
Will pulled away and scratched the back of his neck.
" Me and Amelia are here planning a gathering." Will told her.

" For what?" Liliah asked.
" Well umm the anniversary of your death." Will told her hesitantly.
Liliah felt her heart break and light up at the same time. It was so sweet after all this time they still thought of her.
" Well we better stop that then." Liliah smirked.
Will smiled and pulled her inside.

" Everyone come to the living room!" Will shouted.
Liliah heard talking and footsteps  getting closer. The first person who walked in was Amelia. She saw Liliah and stopped in her tracks. Immediately her eyes filled with tears and her hand flew to her mouth. Next was Harry. He walked in and saw Liliah, he stopped as well just staring at her. The same reaction James had. Lastly was Cedric. As soon as he saw her, he smiled through a sob.
