Long time no see!

     Sorry I haven't been posting for a bit! I have no excuse... just been so busy. Anyway I was never really in to the Percy Jackson Series but I had read the first few books and then basically forgot their entire contents afterwards. I just re-read the first three and found them really interesting. So I just got the fourth, The Battle of The Labyrinth. I'm on the fourth chapter!

     Anywhoo I've found some really cool fanfictions involving the series. Also some crossovers between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I'll be adding them to my list of great fanfictions and putting the links below. I really recommend them!

The Olympians And Harry Potter Read - Harry and the Gods read the Harry Potter books

Half-Bloods of All Sorts - Percy, Annabeth, and Grover must travel to Hogwarts to protect Harry, Ron, and Hermione as Voldemort grows stronger. But, when Harry and co grow suspicious of the so called "exchange students", can Percy, Annabeth, and Grover keep their true identities a secret? And what happens when Hades discovers that Tom Riddle has been avoiding death? Nico perhaps? Rated T just in case 

This is just a teaser of all the fanfictions I found! Please go check out my Great Fanfictions page!

Lily Potter and the Resurrection Stone - Chapter Two


 I sat in the car squished between Al and James. The latter had had a bit of a battle with Mum. He had wanted to sit in the front - I think muggles call it shotgun? But Olive, Carmel (Al's tawny owl.), and James' spotted owl Quaffle were in their cages which mum had placed on the front seat. After loosing his small argument, he had settled for a window seat. And, being the youngest, I had to sit in the middle. The tension gone, they were free to be normal and fighting their heads off definitely qualified. I sunk back into my seat and waited for the car ride to be over. 

     When we finally reached Kings Cross I eagerly slid across Al's recently vacated seat and emerged into - the rain. Having dosed off in the car, I didn't know how wet it was outside. "Gosh!" I exclaimed as tiny streams of water soaked into my hair, turning it a deep auburn. Shaking my head like a dog, I yanked open the car door and grabbed my red Gryffindor hoodie. After I had zipped it up, my mum handed me a Olive's cage. "Aww! Is wittle Wily afraid of water?" James said and I scowled at him, "Lame joke!" Al taunted, and I rolled my eyes. 

     While my two brothers bickered, I glanced back at mum. She still seemed a bit shaken up, and gave off an aura of worry. "Mum?" I asked, slowing my pace to walk beside her, "Is everything ok?' she tried to smile, but only managed a grimace, "Yes, but I'm going to have to stop by your father's office to tell him what happened.", "Ok, but why?" I asked puzzled why dad would be involved in this, "Nothing." she said nervously. James took the barrier at a run, his broom clattering. The way she said 'Nothing' made me nervous. That type of nothing meant something was wrong. Al prodded me in the back, "Go on, silly!" I playfully elbowed him, "Fine, fine!" 

     I had gone through this barrier before, but under different circumstances. This time I wouldn't stay on the platform with my parents. I would leave on the Hogwarts Express. I slowly closed my eyes my stomach twisting itself into a big ball of mixed emotions. I took a deep breath and began to run. Olive hooted, not seeing the sensibility of running at a wall. It seems kind of ridiculous. It is ridiculous. I opened my eyes when I felt myself melt through the wall. From the other side I saw a Lily sized hole begin to patch itself up.
 
     Remembering that Mum and Al would soon be coming through I backed up a bit. My back hit something solid. I whirled around and came face to face with a brown haired, surprised looking girl. "Sorry! Are you ok?" I asked quickly, "Yeah." she said. There was an awkward pause. "My name is October Wright, whats your name?" she asked, trying to pick up a thread of conversation, "Lily… Lily Potter." I answered nervously. James had warned me with the last name Potter a lot of people would look up to you, but others would laugh in your face. "Lily is a really pretty name. I'm just named after a month." she said brightly. "Lily! LILY!" a voice shouted through the crowd now swarming the train. Suddenly a panicked looking Al emerged from the crowd, "Lil! Come on!" he said, rushing over to us, "We have to go! Mum will kill me if you miss the train and its my fault!" "Al! Its only- OH MY GOSH ITS 10:59!" I grabbed my trolly, swung it around and pelted full speed in the direction of the train.
 
Al jumped on and helped me get my trunk up and into the train then we both helped October with her luggage. As my new friend and I walked down the train, looking for a empty compartment we talked. I learned that she was a Muggleborn, had a twin brother who wasn't magical, and loved playing sports. I told her about my brothers, cousins, and quidditch. I was all most done explaining the players, equipment, and house teams when we bumped into Hugo. 

"Hiya Lils!" Hugo said running towards us, "Hey Hugo." I replied. He looked at October, slightly confused "Hi." "Oh, this is October Wright, I met her on the platform!" I hurriedly introduced her. "Hey Hugo." October said  "Um… So do you want to go find a compartment?" I asked, "Sure." October said, shrugging. Hugo nodded.

As we walked October and Hugo talked, getting to know each other. I stayed silent, adding bits to the conversation when Hugo needed help explaining the magical world. We were almost at the end of the train when we finally found an empty compartment. I poked my head in, just to be sure it was vacant. "Hey guys! This one's empty!" I called, waving them over.

We piled in and pushed, shoved, and pulled until our luggage was fully on the rack and not in a position to kill us. Sitting down, we began to actually introduce ourselves. I learned that October was a muggle-born, had a younger brother, and loved playing a muggle game called soccer. Then Hugo introduced himself and I didn't really listen because I have known him almost all my life! (I was born on the third of June, 2008 and Hugo was born roughly a month later.). "Ok Lils, your turn!" Hugo said "Umm… Alright! My name is Lily Potter, I have two older brothers, Albus and James. I really want to be in Gryffindor, and I LOVE Quidtitch!" "Whats Quidtitch?" October asked, cocking her head, "Merlin! You don't know what Quiditch is?" Hugo went on to babble every little detail about Quiditch, including his own 'feats'. Soon we arrived and flowed out of the train in a stream of chatting, arguing, laughing, and yelling students.

PLEASE COMMENT! I WOULD LOVE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! IF YOU MISSED THE FIRST CHAPTER, SEARCH FOR LILY POTTER AND THE RESURRECTION STONE!

Lily Luna Potter and the Resurrection Stone - Chapter One A Cyclone Of Smoke


Chapter One-A Cyclone Of Smoke

Something stirred my consciousness and I became in limbo, fighting for sleep. A sharp hoot from my owl, Olive, fully roused me, and my eyes opened sleepily. Squinting I rolled over to face my window, which was practically glowing. Olive seemed to want to go out, so I wearily pulled off my covers and opened the window. She gave me a short hoot of thanks, jumped onto the window ledge, and flew out. Her wings beat, and soon, she was gone. I watched the sun rise, slowly awakening the small muggle town. My red hair kept flopping into my bright blue eyes, making the sun distorted between them and my hair even more vibrant. As I was about to toss my hair back behind my shoulders for the millionth time, a tsunami of wind rushed past, doing the job for me. It swirled, and closer I looked, the more horrified I became. A man was spinning inside the cage of slightly grey air, black robes billowing and twisting around him. I looked at his eyes, they had a horrible, dark glint to them and seemed likely to pierce anything they rested on for too long. I slammed the window shut and hurriedly rushed down the stairs, tripping over the last step and just caught myself, then my hair flying behind me I sprinted into the kitchen. 

My mum had just pointed her wand at some eggs and muttered something under her breath, when I clumsily ran in. She turned, and smiled taking my fast and clumsy entrance as a form of excitement.

"I was upstairs and I saw this tunnel of grey wind, surrounding a man! I flew past my window.” I panted, drawing in a fast breath.
My mum stopped dead "What?!" she asked, fear and surprise given away by the frightened look in her eyes. A wave of panic crashed over me, she looked absolutely terrified.  
"Have you packed your trunk?" she asked urgently
"Yeah." I said, trying to keep the waver out of voice. 
"Good" she said "We need to go, if I'm not back in ten minutes have James send a Patronus to your father."
"Wait!" I said but the door had already slammed shut with a deafening crack.

I nervously watched my mum stride across the nearby field glancing back and forth as if she were  a hunted animal. Quaking with fear, I climbed up the stairs. I needed someone to talk to. I tiptoed down the hallway feeling as if I made even the slightest noise, something awful would happen. I quietly knocked on Al’s bedroom door and heard a voice say "It's open!" 

"Hey Al." I said, feeling a bit of my fear ebb away just because I wasn’t alone, left to my terrifying thoughts.
“Lily? Whats wrong?” he sounded sort of tired as he put a set of robes into his trunk.
"I... I’m... Scared.” I said lamely, not being able to put my feelings into words. He raised his eyebrows. I began to explain how I felt like somehow, everything was my fault and I just should’ve kept my mouth shut about seeing the man in the swirling cyclone of air. I felt good to get it all out in the open.

He stared at me for about five seconds after my flood of information, and when he finally spoke his voice was slightly hoarse. “We need to tell James.” He stood up and walked over to the door, opening it a little bit faster than necessary.

Picking up speed, we ran down the hall to James’ bedroom. I shouldered the door open and James looked up, hastily trying to stuff a tee shirt into his haphazard trunk. Al and I told him our problem, him pacing and I nervously opening and closing my heart shaped locket I always wore.

After hearing the entire story, James opened the door and practically ran out the door. "Come on, you two!" He said sounding almost nervous. James was never nervous! On the contrary, he always exuded a defiant air of confidence! All of this raced through my mind as Al and I jogged to keep up with his brisk pace. We trotted down the stairs and slid into the kitchen. 

"Everyone got a wand?" he said, his eyes lingering on me.
"I have mine, but its useless..." I muttered looking at the floor.
Al wrapped his arm around me, "Don't worry Lils, I've got your back." 
"Thanks..." I said, having a horrible feeling I was just a another problem.

James instituted a watch, taking the first shift while Al continued packing his trunk, but this time downstairs. The whole atmosphere in the room was gloomy.

"Lily, your watch." said James. I proceeded to walk slowly to the kitchen window, the sunlight and cloudless sky seemed so... inappropriate, my mum was out there, possibly dead! Minutes passed, but none of us seemed to want to give up and contact dad, that would mean giving up the thought that mum was... ok. I felt like it was all my fault and hot tears began to run down my face. The air was filled with hope, squashed down by fear. When she came in to view, I felt like the small bit of my stomach that had left me in my sudden guilt returned to me with a thump.

"Hi sweetheart!" said mum, taking me into a tight embrace
"Mum!" I whispered, burying my head in her hair.
"Is everything ok?" my mum said, a slight nervous lift in her voice.
"If you mean like James and Al, then yes, there fine." I said 
My mum kissed me on top of the head, then stood up to watch James and Al sprint across the field to us. When they arrived Al welcomed mum's hug, but James tried to back out of it, but finally allowed himself to be squished.

When we had all calmed ourselves mum brushed her hands off on her jeans and stood, saying "Lets go, we have a train to catch." We all trooped back home, and proceeded to lug our trunks down the stairs, and into the car.

New Blog!

Hey guys! My name is Lauren and I love the Harry Potter series and the Queen's Thief series. I also play softball and soccer.

I kind of have an obsession with the two book series above. I have ideas for fanfictions for both of them, and am writing one for Harry Potter. But I can't seem to write one for the Queen's Thief series! Argh! Anywho, I just wanted to introduce myself! Bye!
