## History

### Childhood

Growing up, Lily had much more frequent magical accidents than most children - at least once a month, something strange or dangerous would happen because of her powerful uncontrolled magic. Because of this, Lily was homeschooled, and her parents believed she was "possessed by the devil". Eventually, she received a letter from the magical school in America she was accepted at. Her parents were relieved to find out that there were others like her.

#### School years

Despite the formal magical education she was receiving, Lily struggled to control her magic. She nearly had to repeat her first year because her magic was so wild that she couldn't manage to do any of the spells. Her temper and puberty also had an adverse effect on her magical control, and she never fully gained control even by the time she graduated. After her core matured at the age of thirteen, her magic dunked her best friend at the time, Severus Snape, in the duck pond behind their houses. In her seventh year, Lily learned the Depasco Shield, and her magic took to it immediately despite the inherent danger of the shield.

### Adult life

#### Harry's birth

Lily married James Potter in part because of how in-control she felt around him and his stable, Light magic. However, when she became pregnant with Harry, the control she thought she had disappeared as her magic became fiercely defensive of her body. She began to use the Depasco Shield again against her will.

When Harry was born, Lily's magic went wild. It was too risky to move her from the house, so a Mediwitch came to visit her in the guest bedroom. Her magic utterly ruined the room by flooding it and filling it with vines. In the process, Lily also blinded James, who was nearby, and he had to go to St. Mungo's to have his vision fixed. The Mediwitch was frightened and left immediately after Harry was born.

Lily held Harry and took in how similar her daughter looked to James, and how little she looked like Lily. For just a moment, she wished that Harry had something of hers, and her magic turned Harry's eyes bright green. Despite Lily's best efforts, she couldn't change Harry's eyes back. Because of this, she had a magical suppressor, a bracelet with Harry's name engraved on it, made a few days after Harry was born in order to keep her magic in control.
