Lily
Today was the day I've been waiting for all summer. And that isn't an exaggeration as Mum seemed to think when I told her when I was brushing my teeth.
I got up at about half eight and got dressed and brushed my hair and all that, then went down to the kitchen for breakfast. This must have been around ten past nine. There was a knock at the door. I ran to get it. I thought it was Sev, though why it would have been when he never comes here I don't know. I think he avoids my house because his isn't very nice. I think he feels awkward so mostly we meet in the playground or by the river. Anyway so I didn't want 'Tuney to get there before me, because they don't like each other very much.
So I opened the door all excited and standing on the mat was a very small man, about my height, which is pretty small, especially for a grown up, wearing blue robes.
"Hullo" I said, wondering who he was, although I had an inkling.
"Hello" He replied. "My name is Professor Flitwick and I'm looking for Mr and Mrs Evans and Lily. Is that you?"
"Yes that's me" I said "but I'll have to ask mum before I invite you in, because you're a stranger."
He looked sort of amused when I said that but said, "Go on then I'll wait out here"
"I'll be right back," I promised.
I shut the door and ran into the kitchen, pretty loopy because I'd had sugar puffs for breakfast and they always make me giddy.
"Mum, mum there's a man at the door and he wants to see you and dad and me and I think he's a wizard and he's come to ask me to go to Hogwarts like Sev said!" I said all this a bit quickly so mum didn't really get what I'd actually said, but she got that someone was at the door and told me to get Dad from upstairs. I didn't really want to go, I wanted to go and talk to the man outside but she gave me her stern look so I did as I was told.
When me and Dad got downstairs (he is so unbelievably slow) mum and Professor Flitwick were in the sitting room waiting for us. Professor Flitwick got up and introduced himself to Dad and they shook hands like men do, even though the professor only came up to my dad's middle.
"Well Mr and Mrs Evans I'm here to talk about Lily" He said. My heart sort of tightened when he said that. "As you may have noticed she has some very unusual talents"
My parents replied that yes they had noticed this, and my mum mentioned something along the lines of me not letting them not notice. I think this is a little unfair, it's not like I ask them to watch me fly off the swings, it's just so much fun! And Mum says she has to watch in case anything bad happens, not that it ever has.
So then Flitwick said "Well your daughter has these talents because she can do magic. She is a witch."
He looked at me and said "I know this may be a bit of a shock" but I said not really and told him about Sev.
He looked a bit surprised, which is pretty understandable, Sev said that there aren't very many magic people in Britain compared with muggles, so it's a bit of a coincidence we live so close!
Anyway he looked at my parents and said "Well that explains why you are taking it so well".
They looked at each other.
"Lily did tell us what this boy said, but we thought they just had active imaginations like other children, although it did explain a lot!" Said my Dad.
It was true I did tell them when Sev first told me, but they didn't believe me and told me he was making it up to impress me. I gave them my best 'Told you so' look. They just looked at each other again and smiled.
Then he explained a lot of stuff to my parents about money and equipment and stuff, but I wasn't really listening because Sev had told me all of it already. Then he gave me the letter. It was made of a really stiff, heavy type of paper my parents said was called parchment and Flitwick said it was what we wrote on at Hogwarts. Then he explained about platform 9 and ¾ and Diagon Alley, which again I already knew and said "I am looking forward to seeing you at Hogwarts miss Evans, maybe in my house, Ravenclaw." And thanked my parents and left.
I ran to the playground to show Sev. He got one too, by owl. His mum's pleased he said, but his Dad isn't so much. I get the feeling his Dad doesn't really like magic much.
I haven't seen 'Tuney all morning. I can't wait to tell her its all true and I'm going. She'll be so excited for me, even though we won't see each other as much. I'm going to Hogwarts!! Hurrah!!
