"No Please not Harry Anything but that" Lily Potter called. Then a flash of green light appeared and everything went black. All of a sudden an eleven-year-old lily woke up from her disturbed sleep. This was not the first time she had these nightmares, and it would not be the last. She turned and looked at the clock: 2:00am. It would not be useful to stay awake so she sunk back into her pillow for another couple of hours.

"Lily, come down for breakfast" Kathleen Evans called to her daughter.

"I'm coming mother, just let me get dressed first," Lily called. Today she and her mother
were going shopping in London for school clothes. She was to attend the Rochester
Academy for Girls that coming September and she needed to buy her uniform. Her sister
Petunia attends the Locleer School for Young Adults. Her father felt it necessary that the
girls chose where they went to school, considering they were to spend the next four years
in a boarding school. Now it wasn't that Lily's parents wanted to get rid of their children,
in fact it was just the opposite. They wanted to give them the experience of being away
from home and a feeling of independence, that they would not experience living at home
and commuting to school everyday.

"Lily hurry up! Your mother wants to leave" Kenneth Evans called up the stairs, the
Evans were very well off. The lived in a three floor manor, in which everyone had an exceptionally large bedroom. Even though they were so well off, one could not tell so from
the way they acted, excluding Petunia. Petunia acted as if she owned the world and at any
given time would gladly tell anyone how much money she had and would inherit in her
fathers will. Lily on the other hand, didn't care about money. If money was taken out of her life she would still be the sweet, kind, and generous girl that everyone knew her to be. "Lily! Are you coming or not?"

"I'm coming hold on" Lily placed a stray hair behind her ear and ran down the stairs to the breakfast table.

"Lily darling, you have mail." Kathleen said.

"Who's it from?"

"I don't know why don't you open it and find out."

"Okay" In front of Lily lay a thick manila envelope. AS she turned the envelope over, she saw a large H surrounded by four different animals, a snake, a gryfindor, a badger, and a canary. When she opened the letter, multiple pieces of parchment flew out and covered her plate of food. She realized that they were all written in the same glittering green ink. She picked up the first letter and began to read:

Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

"Honey let me see that" Lily's mother said. She was interested in finding out what was in this letter and whether it was a joke or not.

"Mom there's more..." Lily trailed off , she was astounded by all of this, but as she realized that she hadn't finished reading the packet yet, she puts her thoughts of caution aside.

PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST YEARS ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN
BROOMSTICKS

"Mom what does all this mean?" Lily who was now quite confused asked her parents.

"I don't know hunny" Kathleen, who was usually very smart, was alarmed that she did not know the answer.

"I know what it means!" Petunia said gloating over the fact that she knew something that no one else did

"Oh! Please tell us Petunia!" Lily said practically jumping out of her chair with joy

"It means that YOU---ARE---A---FREAK!!!!!!!!!!"

"Petunia Violet Evans, watch your mouth young lady!" Kenneth raised his voice so that it commanded respect. "Lily is not a freak, I believe that according to what I have read" he continued after putting down the Hogwarts letter "That our lovely Lily is a witch"

"But daddy how can that be?" Lily asked, obviously she was scared but tried not to show it

"I don't know I just don't know"
