Lilian Elizabeth Evans' Life
Our story starts New Year's Day, at exactly 12:00 am, when a little baby girl was born but not any ordinary girl. Lilian Elizabeth Evans was a witch and the daughter of Their Majesties, Peter and Elizabeth Evans.
The Majesties were the only royal family left in the wizarding world. Technically, they weren't 'royal', but they were the richest family in the wizarding world. The reason they were so rich was because they had extraordinary powers. As all wizards they could perform magic, but most wizards needed a wand to do some magic, but the McCullen family could do magic with there mind as well with wands. They couldn't perform every spell; they each had a certain gift, as they called it.
The royalty comes from Elizabeth, a beautiful young woman, she had very light blonde hair and bright blue eyes, when ever she get excited, her eyes grew so big everyone thought they were going to pop. Her parents Edmund and Islana were the Majesties, but when they died, the title got past down to their only child, Elizabeth and her husband Peter Evans.
Peter Evans was very handsome, his dark red hair cut perfectly to form his thin face, and his vibrant green eyes, filled with curiosity. Peter's life hasn't as happy and peaceful as Elizabeth's, instead of living with his family, he lived with a man called Letigo, because at the age of five, his house caught fire and Peter's family house got destroyed.
Peter had been rescued by Letigo, who on orders from someone he never figured who it was, to kidnap Peter so that he should grow up thinking his parents and sisters had died. The people who ordered for him to be kidnapped had planned on raising him on there own, but Letigo got to attached to Peter. They ran away together, never seen again by the unknown man who wanted Peter as a son. It wasn't until six months before his own death that Peter finally found out that his family had survived the fire.
Peter was on his lunch break when a bunch of men came into the lunch room celebrating something. As they sat down, Peter over heard some of there conversation.
"A boy you say, congratulations James." A man with blonde hair was saying to the man named James. The mysterious man patted James on the back as they sat down at the table across from Peter, where he sat listening to them as he ate his turkey sandwich. "What did you name him?"
"Thanks Parry, Lily and I decided on Harry, Harry James Potter." The man named James smiled as another man opened a box to reveal a cake with a picture of a broom and a snitch on it.
"Where did you get Harry? I understand why you chose James, but why Harry?" A women walked over to join the crowd of people, as the cake man was cutting up pieces for everyone.
"It's the name of Lily's grand dad, they got really close after her brother died when they were five. He passed away five years ago. Lily was awfully upset when it happened, so to cheer her up, I said that we could name our first boy after him, to remember him." James said, then grabbed a piece of the cake that the cake man had cut.
"What happened to her brother?" The women said, as she grabbed her piece of cake and pulled another chair to the table, so it now held 7 people at it.
Peter was still listening to their conversation, intrested to hear what happened to the man named James's wife, Lily. He felt a little odd listening, but he also had a reason, maybe this was some how connected to his family. Since his sister was named Lily, and the fire happened when the two of them were five.
"Oh," James said, then swallowed his bite of cake then continued, "There was a fire at her house when she was five, and her brother, Peter, died."
James had just taken a bite of his sandwich when he chocked as he heard what James was saying.
Everyone looked round at Peter, he was now coughing, and Richard, whom he had been sitting with started patting him on the back. When Pater had finally stopped coughing, Richard asked him, "You okay mate?"
"Yes, yes," Peter said, everyone who had been looking at him hesitantly turned back to there own table.
Peter got up then walked up to James, tapped him lightly on the back, then said, "Umm excuse me, James?"
"Yes?" James turned in his chair looking up at Peter, "Peter is it, Peter the Majesty?"
"Yes, it's Peter. Would you mind if I have a word with you? Alone?" Peter looked down at James, he had black messy hair, and glasses. Besides that he looked like everyone else in the ministry, work exhausted and wanting to go home.
James hesitated but gave in, "Of course," Then he turned back to everyone at his table, "Excuse me." Then followed Peter, as he led him to a far corner of the room.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your party, but I couldn't help but over hear you mention that your wife lost her brother in a fire at the age of five." Peter said to James, keeping his voice low so no one could hear him besides James.
"Yes, yes that's correct, my wife, Lily lost her brothers at the age of five. But what could any of this have to do with you. Peter?" James spoke to Peter as if he were discusited with him, James never did like the Majesties, he felt they got all their glory for being good at something, then everyone should be majesties because everyone is good at something. Also he was very jealous of their life style and money, but he would never admit to that.
"It's nothing, probably just a coincidence. But I happened to loose my family in a fire when I was five as well. My parents and two sisters, Petunia and my twin, Lily." He said the last word carefully, not wanting to anger james any more. He wasn't sure why but he could tell that James wasn't very happy with Peter, maybe because I listened the to their conversation, perhaps, Peter thought to himself.
"Well, as you said it's probably nothing, their were probably a million fires back then, and it's coincidence that you happened to loose a sister named Lily and Petunia, just as my wife lost her brother named Peter. If you looked it up you'd probably find million similar cases."
"Maybe, but what if it isn't? I have looked through old papers, trying to find something, but since I was schooled at Durmstrang, there weren't many Britain papers there." Peter said, still unable to figure out why James wouldn't even consider the thought.
"Maybe, well." James thought for a second. What if this man is right? He thought to himself, what if he is the brother of my sister? He does have the hair colour, and the same eyes? It's possible, and he is married to a Majesty, if he is Lily's brother he could help us so much with all the things we needed for Harry.
James didn't say anything for a while, he just stood there looking over Peter. Not knowing what to say, or do to get James to stop staring, Peter just stood there allowing James to go through his little examinations of Peter.
"Well, you do look enough like her, the same hair and eyes. Maybe you are right!" James said, getting excited that he had found Lily's brother. "How would you like to come meet Lily? I'm sure she wouldn't mind if we just popped over now for a little visit. What do you say, Peter?" James smiled at Peter.
"I'd love to, but are you sure? Didn't you just say that your wife had just had a son, Harry was it?" Peter said, James nodded to the question, "Wouldn't she rather rest?" Peter was getting excited, if james thought that he could be the brother to his wife, then maybe he was.
"We won't be long, she shouldn't mind." James said, then started to walk out of the room, Peter right at his heels.
As it turned out, Peter was Lily's brother, they met and shared each others story's about their life's, and met each others family. Peter got to meet his sister, brother-in-law and nephew, and Lily got to meet her brother, sister-in-law, and niece. As they got to know each other better, they became closer, trying to fill that gap that had been missing in their life for so long.
********************
Now thirteen years later, Lily Elizabeth Evans, the daughter of Peter and Elizabeth, lived in an orphanage. Her whole family had died, her mom, her dad even her aunt Lily and uncle James had died. Her cousin Harry Potter had gone to live with their aunt Petunia and her husband and son thirteen years ago. Petunia couldn't take in Lily as well as Harry, because her and her husband just couldn't afford both Lily and Harry and her son Dudley. So Lily had to move into a orphanage, all alone, not knowing that she was different, that she was a witch.
Lily's parents had died at Lily's first birthday party by a wizard who was trying to kill Lily. The room was full of people, so nobody saw the stranger come in. This stranger was a powerful wizard, he worked for the most powerful dark wizards of all time, Voldermort. The stranger was ordered to kill Lily, but he made a mistake, he was seen. Nobody was supposed to notice him, but as he closed in on little Lily playing with some of her new toys, Elizabeth caught sight of him, she didn't recognize him so she started towards him to see who he was. As Elizabeth got closer, the stranger didn't notice Elizabeth coming towards him, so he pulled out his wand and started to say the killing curse. Elizabeth saw this and yelled for Peter, the two ran towards the wizard, he got confused and mispronounced the spell. Elizabeth and Peter closed on the man just as he said the spell, and they, and everyone within five meters of them, got thrown back. They had all died, all except Lily, the one who was intended to die, escaped. As all the people died, all their powers and knowledge flowed out of them and into the one year old Lily Evans, and too that day she has been the most powerful witch known to all wizards, yet nobody knew that.
After the horrible death of her parents, Lily went to live with her aunt and uncle, Lily and James and their son Harry, who was only 5 months old at the time. But not to longer after Lily moved in with them, Harry got marked for death. Which meant that Voldermort wanted Harry dead, nobody really knew why, they just knew that if Voldermort wanted someone dead, they died. So Lily, James, Harry and Lily went into hiding, but Voldermort found them in the end. He killed Lily and James, but when he tried to kill Harry it didn't work. It back fired on himself, and little Harry Potter survived, with nothing but a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. Some say the Voldermort died, others say he is still alive just to weak to return to power. No matter what they thought everyone knew that it was one year old Harry Potter who got rid of him, and because of that, Harry became famous.
Now, in the orphanage, sat the thirteen year old Lily Evans. Not knowing who she really was, who her parents were or what had actually happened to them.
So, since Lily didn't know about the wizarding world, she also knew nothing about her title as a Majesty. Or that if she didn't appear back to take the title by her fourteenth birthday, another family would get it. The family next in line to claim the title as the wealthiest and powerful family were the Malfoy's. The Malfoy's are a very rich family, who are very well known for their liking of the Dark Arts, and it's even said that Mr. Malfoy himself was a Death Eater, which is one of Voldermort's top supporters. But now since Voldermort is dead they claimed that they knew nothing of Voldermort's plans.
There came a knock at Lily's door, disrupting her day dreams of meeting the Jonas Brothers and Nick declaring his love for her.
Lily sighed then said, "Come in."
In walked a man in a purple robe, that almost looked like Lily's bath robe, just more elegant. He had long white hair and beard that were long enough to tuck into his belt, if he had been wearing one.
He walked up to Lily, "Good evening Miss Evans, my name is Albus Dumbledore." He bowed his head a little, but his eyes stayed on her the entire time.
"Good evening to you too, uh sir." Lily said, wondering why this man was here, and what did he want with her.
"I'm hear to tell you something that will hopefully explain something's to you, Your Majesty Evans." He smiled then bowed his head a little.
"Excuse me; I'm not a princess or anything." Not wanting to be rude to this man, Albus, but she wasn't a princess and she will never be a princess. All she is is Lilian Elizabeth Evans, an orphan, whose parents had died in a car crash. Sure there are some things that she can do that she can't explain, but thats normal, isn't it?
Lily had always been different, and she knew that, but never would admit it. She could do things that according to all the books she read, were impossible. Like being able to disappear then reappear of any place as long as she concentrated on it very hard. She could also write with out actually pick up a pen, and she could completely change her appearance, even her outfit, without lifting a finger. She knew she was different, but that didn't mean she was a Majesty, did it? Lily thought to herself.
"No your not a princess, you are part of the royal family, known in our world as Majesties. Your mother's parents were Majesties, your parents were Majesty's, and now that they have passed away, you have become the Majesty."
"Sorry, but my parents have been dead for a while why are you just telling me this now?" This made no sense, I've been in orphanages for as long as I can remember, Lily thought to herself, sure I've switched them more often then anyone I know, but still, it's been thirteen years. She didn't want to believe this man, for as long as she could remember Lily had to work very hard to fit in. All the girls never liked her because they thought she was too pretty and all the guys were to full of them selves to talk to her. She had always been the odd girl who moved way to much.
Lily's caretaker, as you may call him, the person who decides which orphanage Lily should be at and if she should change orphanages, likes to travel, a lot. Whenever he moves, so does Lily, let's just say she hasn't been in the same orphanage for over 3 months.
"You see Miss Evans, you are no ordinary girl you are a witch, just like your parents, and just like myself."
"I'm...I can't...No, your mistaken. I can't be a, a witch? It's just not possible, I've read about witch's in books, there supposed to all evil and ugly. Is this a prank or something?" Lily just woudn't believe it. It's just not possible, she thought, then put her arms on the side of the bed for support.
"No, no this isn't a prank," He seemed a little amused with her assumption, "Actually I am being quite serious. I can show you, but I have a feeling that you know something you aren't telling me." He walked over to Lily's desk then sat in the chair, and faced Lily waiting for her too show him what he wanted to see.
"Prove it." He voice was barely audible, Albus didn't seem to hear her.
"Excuse me?" He leaned a little closer to her, his eyes never leaving her.
"Prove that your a wizard?" She said, a little louder this time.
Albus looked at her, then at her desk. He inclined his head just a bit, and all of a sudden Lily's notebook was floating in the air, rising slowly.
Lily didn't believe it, she got up and slowly walked towards her desk, then stuck out her hand over the notebook. No strings, she thought. Then checked under the notebook, still no strings. "How are you doing that? There's no strings."
"It's magic Miss. Evans, I am a wizard, and headmaster to one of the finest wizarding schools in all of Britain, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A school, that if you show be what you have been hiding from me, you can attend yourself." His eyes were staring back at her, digging into her soul.
"Well, it's nothing really. I just can," Not sure if she could trust him, she hesitated then continued, "I can disappear, then reappear somewhere else." She looked down at her feet, not able to look into those piercing eyes of Albus.
"Really?" He seemed surprised, "Dissaperation? That normally takes much practise, thats very impressive Miss. Evans." He smiled a little at her, but it was enough to encourage Lily that this stuff happened to other people.
"I can also write with out picking up pencil, and I can make things levitate, like you just did, I can also change my entire appearance. Even my clothes." She said it all very fast, then took a deep breath as Albus considered what she said.
"That's even more impressive, but expected." He noted Lily's confused expression and continued, "Your family, well you mothers family, is well known for their extra abilities. But there is also the event of the deaths, that could be a factor?" He seemed to be talking to himself, because nothing made any sense to Lily.
"Umm, whose deaths? And what factors of what?" Lily asked him, trying to sound calm when really she wished she could scream with joy of knowing there were others like her.
"Your parents deaths," He paused, then continued slowly, as if he was picking his words carefully, "You see, when your parents died, it wasn't as you were told, it was a spell that went very wrong. It was on your first birthday, at the party, a man came to the party with an intention of killing you. Well, he never managed to kill you, instead he must have said some other spell because it ended up killing him, your parents and everyone with a five meter radius of him. Which stumped everyone about this murder, was that everyone who had died, when they were examined it was found that none of them had any magic in them. Nobody ever figured out where it had gone, but I think I finally figured it out." He finished, then slowly leaned back in the chair, his eyes looking carefully over Lily.
"Where did it go?" Lily asked, afraid that she already knew the answer.
"Well, it appears that it all went into you." He said calmly as if this news was nothing, but Lily tensed up.
"How. How could it all go into me?" She said quietly, her mind buzzing around.
"Spells can be very powerful, and if they go wrong, the results are never good."
It was quiet for a while as both Lily and Albus thought about what they had both just learnt."
After nearly ten minutes, Albus broke the silence, "Well we should probably get going." He reach into his robe and pulled out a letter and handed it to Lily.
Lily took the letter for him, "Thank you," She read the letter in silence. "Excuse me but why does it say hope to see you back and don't forget to get your letter signed?"
"Oh, you see most students start at the age 11 at Hogwarts, but we couldn't find you, it seems your caretaker Bill is a wizard and good friend of the Malfoys." He noticed the Lily's puzzeled face, " You see if you didn't turn up before your fourteenth birthday the Malfoys would have became the royal family. It seems that Bill didn't want you found so he moved you all around the world, so that you wouldn't be found, because if you weren't soon the Malfoy's would have been the Majesties. And well, lets just say that wouldn't be a very good thing for muggle borns."
"Muggle borns?"
"Wizards born from muggles, non magic people. A pure blood is someone born from an all wizard family. And a half blood is someone born from a half part wizard family."
Lily nodded her head as Dunbledore spoke, "So,where are we going, Hogwarts? My letter says it starts on September 1st, so we still have a couple days, but I haven't got any of these books it talks about. Or a wand, cauldron and everything. How am I to get it? I haven't got any money. Wait, my parents most have a bank account, you said that they are royality, so it means there rich right?" Lily said, starting to get worried about everything, a new school, and practically a new life was waiting for her.
"Yes, your parents left you all their money, you can use that for school. Theres a bank called Gringotts, but we'll talk more about that later. Right now I really must get you too the Burrow. The Weasley family has offered to take you in until term starts. The Weasley's are a nice family, you will enjoy it there, also your cousin Harry Potter is there."
"I have a cousin?"
"Yes, he is your age, his parents, Lily and James Potter, died when he was one, you were living with them when it happened. They got attacked by a dark lord, Voldermort. But more about that later, for now we really must be going. Now if will get some of your belongings together."
"I don't have anything to bring, I was never really given anything worth taking." Lily said, looking down at her feet, a little embarrassed.
"That's fine, now come and hold my arm I will Dissaperate us out of here."
Lily walked up to him and grabbed his arm just as he told her too.
Then there was a little pop and the room was empty, Lily and Dumbledore were gone.
