┌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌Chapter 1╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┐ The Lost Ghost └╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┘ It was a wonderful June evening. Jones Longbottom was swinging in a playground, next to her friend, Lily Luna Potter. "Hey, Jones! It's been so long since I last saw you!" Lily said. "It's so nice that I get to hang out with you on my birthday!" Jones replied. "Not long until I get an owl from Hogwarts. And you're turning 11 in a month, so you'll also get a letter!" she continued. "Hey girls, it's getting late now. Come on in," the girls heard Hannah Longbottom, Jones' mom, say. Jones and Lily jumped off the swings and started to head inside. "Hey, Lily, isn't that a ghost?" Lily whispered to Jones. Jones looked in the direction Lily was pointing. "Yep, that's a ghost. Let's ask if it's lost," Jones told Lily. They walked up to the ghost. "Hey there. Are you lost?" Lily asked the mysterious ghost kindly. "Yeah. My name is Herron Lupin," Herron said. His voice was raspy, deep, and slightly mysterious. "Are you related to Remus Lupin?" Jones asked. "Yes. Around 100 generations before Remus was born, I was born. I've been wandering the earth as a ghost to find the Lupin family. Do you know where he lives?" Herron asks the girls. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but he died in the Battle of Hogwarts. I know where his son, Teddy Lupin, lives. He lives with Andromeda Tonks now," Jones responded. "Thanks," Herron said, while drifting away. "Are you girls coming? It's been 15 minutes," Hannah said. "We're coming," the two girls said in unison. One month later, it was July 22. The Longbottoms, the Granger-Weasleys, and the Potters threw a surprise 11th birthday party for Lily. "Happy birthday!" Jones yells. Jones, Lily, and Hugo, Lily's cousin, go and eat some Chocolate Cauldrons. "We're all gonna be in Hogwarts this year!" Hugo says excitedly. "Yeah!" Lily agrees, while taking a bite out of her Chocolate Cauldron. Suddenly, she started coughing and threw up. "Out of the way everyone!" Ginny Potter, Lily's mom, said as she rushed over. "Don't worry Lily, it's gonna be ok," Ginny reassured Lily. There was a knock on the door. "What a great time for visitors," Ginny grumbles. "Harry, will you answer the door?" she asked. Harry nodded and rushed over to the door. "Who's there?" he asked while opening it. "Are you Harry Potter? Good, because you're under arrest."
