Chp 1
Lily's Magical Letter
In the East side of London, sat a small red cottage on the edge of Merry line street. The cottage had been past down to generation to generation and still stood proud and grand. The cottage was surrounded by one long brown hay field that made it Stand out ,one of the main reasons it was so special. The only thing not special and grand about the Cottage on the Edge on the Merryline street was the family that lived inside…
Mrs Teresa Evans stood out side the cottage shuffling the post in her hands muttering about the summer heat when one letter caught her eye. She sighed heavily before cursing her husbands name in anger and stormed up the stone steps swinging the door open and slamming it shut. Mr Robert Evans stood in the kitchen drinking his black tea slowly when the slamming of the door made him jump and poor the hot tea all down his new blue and white shirt, "Honey how many times.." but he was interrupted by his stressed out wife "ROBERT I thought you paid this telephone bill!".She stormed into the kitchen and for a Spilt second the boiling hot tea tripping on Mr Evans shirt stopped burning his skin as he saw the anger in his wife's eyes. He opened his mouth to begin talking once more when there was a sudden movement upstairs made him close his mouth shut. His skin began to burn once more and he moved closer to his wife "Lets talk about this later…Petunia is awake". Ms Evans sighed heavily, looking at her husbands shirt and went back to her muttering.
Petunia Evans was the favourite daughter out of the two but she was no average teenager for a shadow seemed to follow her where she went. Petunia with her tall and skinny body and long jet black hair looked quite pretty ,though her eyes did not sparkle and her lips hardly ever formed smile. For some reason the Evans parents did not see the dark inside her heart but only saw the outside of her. Petunia walked downstairs to a Mother throwing the post down on the table and returning to her husbands shirt drama. Still looked around curiously her face sharp with concretion her eyes wide like a owl looking for prey."Tuney…your awake…no she isn't here didn't you past her when you came downstairs?". Petunia paid not attention to her fathers coffee stain shirt or to her mother but walked straight into the kitchen and begun to make breakfast.
The Evans family would have been perfect if Petunia was an only child but that of course could not be true. It so happened that 2 years later after little Petunia was born extraordinary red headed girl came into the world. As if on queue the girl bounced into the kitchen. She skipped all her way to the fruit bowl and grabbed a huge green apple and took a greedy bite. The girl took once quick glance and her family before heading to the door, swung it open and stepped into the fresh morning air. It hit her like a rush of adrenaline before a something tickled her leg and made her jump. "Harry you frightened me!" she reached down to the cat and stroked her. The cat didn't care about being scratched but began to lick to girl's apple. "Gross harry, that was my breakfast" and she threw the apple into a near by bin and walked towards a blue bicycle chained to the front gate.
Lily Evans was odd one out, she was not tall but very short and had tangled red hair. If you looked from a right direction you could see a sparkle in her eyes and if you where careful enough to notice a hidden kiss in the left corner of her mouth, which one day a kiss like that would good to her true lover. Her sister, Petunia weren't a good match, for neither of them could spend more then 5 minutes together in a room. Lily is what Petunia called a "freak" for when she was near things like magic happened. One time she made the whole breakfast table rose or that other time when bubbles came out of Petunia's mouth. Her parents embarrassed by her talent didn't see the hidden kiss, or a sparkle but yet a horrible freak of a child. Lily didn't care for her parents, their have never cared about her but lily would soon find out that Petunia's dark heart was not inherited by her parents.
The Blue bicycle was Lily's only friend besides her faithful cat, harry. Each Morning no matter the weather, she rode on her bike, in the fields or around the block so she could feel free and far away from her horrible family. Only once had her sister come with her but Petunia preferred not to get her dress dirty. Lily unchained the bike, jumped on and head towards the fields for her morning ride.
Far from the comfort of the small red cottage in a forbidden forest stood a chief centaur furious and angry. "WAR! WAR !" he yelled into the cold night air "EVELEN YEARS AGO SHE WAS BORN AND SHE IS THE CAUSE WE MUST FIND HER!" the chief centaur eyes huge with fear and he continued the scream and yell at his peers until he was shot dead by a arrow in the distance. The other centaurs looked horrified but glad that their chief was dead. One centaur with a short white beard walked towards his chief and took his arrows and bow "I Mistoran, claim chief of the centaurs!". A stick snapped and all centaurs turned there head to their left where a man who stood in the distance.
He was just close enough to see the outline of his face.
Mistoran walked towards the man "you killed chief Tauzin?" he questioned. The man did not respond but instead bowed before them. After a minute or two he raised his head slowly, then he spoke slowly and clam "Centaurs of the forest, your chief has gone mad, as you can see he would have all tricked you to kill this mystery girl he spoke of,but you see he was mistaken.." "HE WAS NOT HE WAS OUR CHIEF!" A centaur yelled out but before he even closed his lips he was shot by an arrow not from the man but from Mistoran "Go on" . The Man once again bowed and continued "she will bring peace when the war begins, I beg of you, let her be" The man fought back something that looked like tears. Mistoran stepped closer to the man "May I ask your name before I plunge this knife though your heart. The Man knew that if he was to kill a chief centaur he would be killed so he whispered his name into the centaur's ear "Argufies Snape". The centaur nodded "I know you sister in law" he said before pulling his hand back and taking the mans life.
Mr Evans rode a bicycle to and from work. He finally came to a stop at the family's cottage his legs screamed with pain. He chained his bike to the fence and headed to the door. He pulled his keys out of his pocket when a small meow came from Harry the cat. "Dear harry, what is it? "the cat seemed to be playing with a letter, each time he clawed the letter it just kept repairing itself. "Is this work of lily's another weird thing" he snatched the letter out of the cats claws and read the front cover
MS
The third bedroom on the second floor
18,Merryline street,
Spinners End,
London.
Mr Evans looked down at the letter in shock and fear. He had heard of letter like this back in his day, could it be?. He fumbled up the stone steps and muttered to himself as he tried to unlock the door. He burst into the hallway ran to the kitchen where his Wife stood Petrified. Ms Evans had seemed to clam down from this morning's drama but her husband bursting though her again made her begin to mention the subject again "Is it a letter from the bank dear? Why did you unlock the door, there is a doorbell for a reason!". Mr Evans looked at his wife and whispered "Where is lily?".
"LILY, YOUR FATHER WANTS YOU!"
No response. "LILY!".The backyards door flung open, 'Here mother dear" the look on her face said it all, she had been trying to work out her strange skills again. "I tried and tried to get rid of them but I kept making the flowers sing!". Ms Evans raised an eyebrow and reached a cloth from the sink and wiped up the dirt on her daughters face "Your father wants you not me" and she threw the cloth into the bin and turned back to the sink. Mr Evans Grabbed his daughters shoulder tight and forced her into the living room, "Lily dear, sweetie, what is this?". He held out the letter and lily grabbed it an ripped it open.
"Dear Lily Evans,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress"
Lily froze on the spot.
Lily sat on the cold stone steps in the garden at the front of her house. The warm sunshine had left the street, it felt all wet and soggy and the sky was grey with hate . It became like this when that lady turned up, the must sky got bored. The lady was indeed a professor and my came 2 days ago shortly after the letter and shut the opened mouths of my parents and made them tea with a flick of her hand, and she explained everything to Lily's dear mother and father, but Lily hadn't seen that horrid spoiled brat Tuney since that morning.
The thought Of Tuney flew out of her mind as quick as it entered.
Lily did not understand how in just 2 weeks, she would board a train on to a platform she had never heard. "It is a wonderful school for witches and wizards" Professor said "You will be sorted into a house by a talking hat and then over the next few months you will learn spells, go to many classes and make magical new friends!". The only thing Lily had heard in the sentence was "friends" .It bite her like a snake that word, not once had Lily had a friend, she never had gone to school before, so friends was something she never experienced. She never got education either though there was the her mum's odd home school lesson.
The past was over though and though the professor had gone, she sat out hear to cold air and the sprinkle of the rain made lily looked for harry to snuggle up to...but he had seemed to disappear ever since the Professor turned up .She glared at her blue bicycle, she thought she saw it laughing at her was she mad? "How come you get to be free" she whisper ,the laughing grew louder and louder until she couldn't take it now more and stood up and went over the bike and said a few things she had only heard her parents say ,before she kicked the bike and punched it like a person, then chain broke in two, but Lily was sucking on her fist and patting her foot with her free hand, that she didn't she. Lily, now all wet felt like she finally wasn't that last bit of sunshine in the stree anymore and something must have taking over her brain, forcing her to pick up the bike and ride into what was meant to be ,a sunset.
As Lily rode, she thought about the past 2 days and how it felt like a war had ended and people where no longer the same. Mrs Evans found it wonderful to have a witch in the family but for Mr Evans he stayed in a trance up until this morning saying he make bacon and eggs (which he had only served once when Tuney learned how to ride a bike).
The thought of Petunia made lily almost fall off her bike, Petunia had been visiting her "boyfriend" Vernon a lot lately before the letter of course Lily told herself. Lily had seen his room once when we got invited over for lunch last year.
"You are so young my dear boy, to be calling Tuney your girlfriend" my mother said thought gritted teeth . Lily went upstairs by faking she was sick and needed to lye down, she wanted to go and have a bit of a snoop around. She had found a suitcase full of photos, locks of hairs ,bracelets and a WEDDING RING!. She stole the ring and took it for her own.
She only remembered that day, because of the ring and how she had given it to Tuney for her birthday next year.
Like on queue, Tuney's red bike appeared from no where. Lily had to speak to her, she would try to be kind, this made her cycled harder and harder until...
"PETUNIA WAIT UP PETUNIA" lily called out, she was cycling so hard that the wind made her hair keep getting caught in her mouth which made it hard to yell. Though this didn't stop her and she cycled even in front of Tuney. She was so skinny, so young, so pretty that Lily's envy took over and Tuney flew off her bike into a puddle in the fields.
It took a while for lily to see that she was in the hay fields, the only thing with green grass land and sunshine left in the street. Her dress was covered in mud, dripping from the sides, Lily soon saw why she had a red face. It was her favourite dress she was wearing, as well as make up on and jewellery. "YOU DID THAT TOO MY GOOD DRESS"
Lily didn't care, she tried to speak, but the same question kept popping up in her head. Why was she wearing those clothes on a day like this?. Petunia stood up, shook like a dog and Ran further and further into forest. From there the chase continued on foot ."PETUNIA-" But it was Tuney's turn to ask questions "A witch lily? this is a joke i know it for sure, if its not then i have confirmed your a freak, you have always been one but now i am sure you are one, and everyday every minute...you will be a FREAK! ALWAYS A FREAK!". Tuney had gone crazy and lily knew she had gone to far, she had to fix this.
Petunia fell to the ground in tears "Tuney, Tuney i didn't know know i was a witch, and know matter how many times you check to post box there will be no letters for you" She had started in the wrong way this would not go well. Her sister looked up at her "You knew about that?". Of course Lily had she had been watching her sister climbing on a ladder made of clothes, out the window and standing at the letter box waiting until she thought she saw someone watching so she climbed back up the ladder of clothes. This happened every hour on the hour.
Petunia stood up and began to blah about some stuff that Lily had no time to be listening though should have been listening because Tuney had noticed that she wasn't paying attention and made her clean every last inch of mud of her clothes and redo her lipstick, lily turned her back to put the lipstick back into Tuney's purse and picked it up to hand it to her ,but the skinny monster had gone. Lily went looking for where for about 2 minutes when she knew she would go know where but home, but even if she hadn't gone home it wasn't on her bike for it laid side by side next to Lily's.
Lily had to drag both bikes back by herself
So much had happened in the past 5 hours it was hard to believe
Over dinner, she was told that tomorrow everyone would be going to Diagon ally for she needed things for school, and after much auguring Tuney agreed to come as well.
Lily went back out to the front of the house and sat in her new favourite spot on the stone stair. She sat for a while thinking about making friends and months away from Tuney when she thought she would have a night ride on bike for fun. She jumped on her faithful friend and rode all the way past the spot of the mud puddle, past the spot where she was yelled at but she stopped somehow and flew off her bike like Tuney though there was no mud this time but instead their was something even more horrible. A huge Monster stood before her. Its Hair green and wild hair, swung in the wind. Its brown skin rough and had things hanging off its arms and legs.
A tree.
Just behind the tree stood a boy.
His skin Pale like a ghost, his hair looked like it had never been washed in its lifetime and his clothes were way to big for him, but what caught Lily's attention the most was the boys eyes did not turn away from her eyes, their where locked is some kind of magical force. He couldn't be a wizard but he was a stranger
Lily's heart sped up.
Lily backed away from the stranger boy and picked up a near by stick ."Whooo..are youu, i warn you i am a witch...i cann hurt you MAGIC KADRBRA!".
Nothing happened.
"Silly girl I'm not here to hurt you" his lips moved slowly and calm like waves though his eyes seemed still seemed to be locked to Lily's. He laughed a little and picked up a stone, which turned to a butterfly and flew up into the air, Lily's eyes finally where unlocked by the key, and she watched it land on a flower
Lily was wrong, he was a wizard.
The boy edged closer "Come follow me, i know a place" and he grabbed onto lily's hand and did not let go.
