Lily Evans was a ten year old girl just like any other. She went to school, she had loads of friends, and she loved to read. She had a sister named Petunia, but they didn't always get along. Petunia was jealous that Lily was turning eleven in just a day, and their parents were going to take Lily out to eat at her favourite restaurant. Lily lay in bed that night struggling to fall asleep, wide awake with excitement. She only ever ate out on special occasions and she always enjoyed it. There was nothing Lily enjoyed more than spending time with her family.
Lily woke the next morning and immediately jumped out of bed. She ran down her stairs into the kitchen. She was the first person awake so she decided to make her own breakfast; after all, she was eleven years old now. Lily turned around to grab the cereal from the cupboard. When she turned back around she spotted an envelope on the table. She walked over to it and picked it up. Printed on the front of the envelope in a green ink were her name; Lily Evans, and her address. Lily knew she should wake her parents but curiosity got the best of her and she opened the letter. It read,
Dear Ms. Evans

" I've been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Who do they think I am?" Lily laughed as she tossed the letter onto the table and poured her cereal.
