Chapter 1 Prologue

Lily walked away from the cab crying silently. It was always like this between them. They could never be happy for one another and never speak to each other without saying something cruel or hurtful. But as a last attempt to repair the broken relationship between herself and her sister, Lily had tried to farewell Petunia nicely. All she got in return was a dirty look then her sisters back in her face.

'Fine,' Lily thought blinking back the tears. She was returning to Hogwarts for the last year of her schooling. 'I don't need this. I don't need to keep thinking about her and I definitely don't need her.'

As she approached the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 she sighed. Soon she would be back in the only world she loved, in the only world that accepted her. Magic had been a saviour for Lily and not a day passed that she wasn't grateful for finding out she was a witch.

Before coming to Hogwarts, Lily's life had been ok. Nothing more, nothing less. She had one friend at school that moved to France when Lily was in year 3. Her parents never deprived her of anything. Her sister didn't like her much but there were never really many problems. Until she found out she was a witch.

From then on Petunia Evans had never said a kind or even decent word to her sister. But luckily for Lily, the rest of her world became wonderfully new and exciting.

Now as she ran at the barrier, she thought about how she had felt the first time she had entered platform 9 ¾. It had been the most nerve racking yet fun day of her life. The moment she had spotted the Hogwarts Express she had known things were going to get better.

Steam billowed from the engine and students pushed towards the doors. Slowly, Lily made her way to the front of the crowd and stepped aboard the train. She always felt a special sensation when she boarded the train and today, for the last time, she felt it.
