Hello everyone :) so this is a story that has been on my mind for a while. The story is slightly based on The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, but only in the beginning. Later on it's going to be quite different.

I have written oneshots so far, therefore I'm not sure if I'm going to be a fast updater... so please bear with me ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or The Book Thief or any other... unfortunately.

Preface

Lily Evans' family was pretty perfect.

She had a loving and patient father, who gave always good advice whenever she needed one. She had a caring and affectionate mother, who would always throw open her arms expansively, whenever she needed a hug. She had a headstrong and broadminded older sister, who she would argue with but they loved each other nonetheless.

Lily Evans' friends were pretty perfect.

She had a quiet and shy best friend, who knew all her secrets. She had a lively and courageous friend, who would always make her laugh. She had an easy-going and happy-go-lucky friend, who she could talk about nothing and everything with.

Lily Evans' school was pretty perfect.

She had just finished her third year at a magical school called Hogwarts, where she had learned about magic and mysteries. She was a witch, a witch with a wand and magical abilities, which could turn teacups into rats. Well, technically, she still wasn't allowed to do something like that, but at least she could tease her sister about it.

Lily Evans' life was pretty perfect.

Up until the day when Lord Voldemort visited her perfect life.
