  Summary

  What it came down to, in the end, was that Lily Potter was not satisfied to stop at preserving her own life. Lily wanted greatness. She wanted to be the greatest witch of her age - better than Dumbledore; better than Voldemort; better than Merlin himself. She wanted to immortalize herself in history as the greatest witch there ever was.

  'Greatness, eh?' the Sorting Hat mused from atop her head. 'Well then, better be-'

  "SLYTHERIN!"

  ...The Great Hall was dead silent.
  ---------------------
  Lily Potter, unknown to everyone but herself, is not supposed to exist. Long before she was Lily Potter, she was a clever young woman with a bright future ahead of her, and a passion for the Harry Potter series. A tragic twist in fate sees her bright future go down the drain - along with her life. Nine months later - and forty years in the past - she wakes up as the only daughter of Lily and James Potter, trapped in a world where Harry Potter doesn't seem to exist. Lily is left scrambling to scrape by in a desperate attempt at retaining her second lease on life and making her mark on a world that she's only ever dreamed of.
