Most of Lily's family were Gryffindors, including James. Rose was the only Ravenclaw still at Hogwarts, since Teddy and Victoire had graduated, but Lily didn't want to be a Ravenclaw—that stupid door knocker! Dominique, a Hufflepuff, just graduated. Lily looked jaundiced in yellow, anyway. Al was the sole Slytherin of the family. Lily always thought she would share a house with her big brothers—she never thought choosing a house would mean choosing between them. She wasn't sure she wanted to do that.

As Lily approached The Hat, she had no clue.

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

Lily would wear lots of black.

Hee. I like fashion conscious Lily. And I like how you subtly characterized her as Hufflepuff before the Hat told us that was where she'd be. That bit of "show not tell" was very neat.

Great job!

Yay, Hufflepuff! I ♥ the idea of Lily as a Puff, but what I really like is that in this universe the Potters have kids in three of the four houses (and the Weasleys cover the fourth)--all that talk by the hat about uniting the houses comes true with this family. *loves*

I've always thought the Next Gen kids would be in all four houses. I have at times changed which house which kid is in to suit a certain story, but the Weasleys and Potters always cover all four. And either Bill's kids or Harry's kids are in three different houses, sometimes both of them. ;) Thanks for reading and reviewing!
