Lily Evans, a ten year old soon to be 11 was staring out at the stars. Her auburn red hair was pulled up into a messy bun, and her emerald green eyes were twinkling in the moonlight. She was in her room it was 11:58 at night. The next day she would turn 11 and her mom, even thought pleads not to from Lily, was throwing her a birthday party. Though it was going to be the day after her birthday, because her birthday was on a Friday and she wanted it to be on a Saturday. Lily was thinking about her birthday party. She didn't want to have it. She didn't like to be the center of attention. She only wanted to have her friend to sleepover. But her mom insisted that if she had the party it might help "crack open her shell." Lily had one true friend, Christina Clark. Christina Clark, or Chris as Lily called her, had long brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. She was 5 feet and, to Lily, very pretty.
Lily looked at her clock again, it read 12:01, she was already 11 fro a min. she sighed to herself and got up. She sat down in her bed and pulled up the covers and looked out the window again. In the distance she saw an odd shape that looked like it was flying towards her window. She got up again and slowly walked to her window and stared out of it. The shape kept getting bigger and bigger. The before she had time to register what it was it was flying into her room. * It was an owl* she noted to herself. She saw it was a barn owl and it had an envelope tied to its leg. She went over to it and untied it. She looked at the envelope and was startled to fine that it was addressed to her.
Curiously she turned it over in her hands and saw that on the back was a strange seal with a lion, a badger, a raven, and a serpent all surrounding an 'H'. She opened it and it read:

She reread it 3 times before it clicked.
"Mom.Dad.Pet.COME HERE!!" she hollered.
About 25 seconds later her Mom came in with her nightgown on and her Dad came in with a golf clue and her sister came in looking board and angry at the some time.
"What.... What is it.what happened?" her Mom asked.
"Um.uh..err.here," she said while giving her Dad, Earl, the letter.
He read it and Petunia and her Mom, Emily, read it over his shoulder and all at once there eyes went as wide as they can go.
"Oh, honey, were...so proud," said Emily, hugging her daughter.
"Ok.let me get this strait," said Petunia. "You yelled to get us up at midnight just to tell us that you're a freak?"
"Petunia, that's no way to talk to your sister." her Mom said disapprovingly.
"Well it's true," Petunia insisted.
"Go to your room Petunia, we'll talk about this in the morning," her Dad said.
Petunia walked out of the room with a scowl on her face.
"Can. I. I mean. will you let me go?" Lily asked.
"Of coarse. and tomorrow before your party, we can go to Diagon Ally." Exclaimed Emily.
"Okay," Lily said and climbed into bed.
