The Flower Well~*~
Chapter One~*~
Curse of the Ocean~*~
Lily Evans would have been a beautiful girl if not for her curse. She had flaming red hair and lively bright emerald eyes.
But Lily had a curse. It had many different names, including The Curse of the Eyes and Temptation Curse. Lily, however, called it the Curse of the Ocean. No male, unless he had found his true love, could look into her eyes without falling servant to a spell that would make him "want" her. (in come the PG-13!)
You see Otis Evans was not Lily's biological father despite what everyone except their direct family thought. When Otis and Penny's first born girl, Petunia, was I years old and Lily's son Jeffery was three they had a bad spite.
Then another. And another until they got a divorce. That was when Penny met up with her old lover Devlin Grieger. He had gotten her pregnant with Jeff about four years ago and had never known.
Now he comforted Penny. They had a "thing" before Penny realized she still loved Otis. But Devlin didn't wan tot leave his son. So, Jeff lived with his father except during the summer, which was spent with his mother and stepfather.
Otis and Penny were remarried. But 8 months later Lily Tamera Evans was born. She had Devlin's startlingly bright green eyes. Penny knew that Devlin was a wizard. She also knew she had to tell him.
Otis was there for Penny and went with her. They also brought the just now three year old Petunia. Jeff was ecstatic at the sudden visit and took Petunia to play else where. Penny told Devlin about Lily.
Upon hearing Devlin panicked. Quickly he explained of a curse that his mother and sister had. And that Lily would have it too.
It traveled through generation of woman to generation o woman through his family. Just as the ocean traveled to the sea and the sea to rivers..
That is until one woman died without the curse being broken. Then it would be lifted off of the whole family. Just like a well would stop the water. The way to break the curse on a single person is for her and her true love to realize they are in love.
The curse would become active when she was 9. She would have to disguise herself. If no one saw her true eyes and true color of beauty no one would be sucked into the curse. And she didn't even have to look ugly.
And when she was 9 her family moved from Surrey to London. Petunia was ecstatic to be living in the city and would hug Lily every day for it. There in London she met a handsome young football (soccer as we Americans call it) player.
Lily took to dying her hair black and wearing black contacts. She bought a new wardrobe of baggy clothes, making her look fat. She, instead of wearing treated black contacts, wore big thick black glasses. She was quiet and didn't try to make friends.
When Lily was 11 she received a letter from Hogwarts, just as her brother Jeff had. Petunia seemed a little put out by this but got quite excited when she found out that she not only got to go with them to get lily's things but she could choose any boarding school to go to.
~~~Letter~~
Lily groaned as Petunia threw a pillow repeatedly at her head. "Alright!" she groaned.
"I set a record, I set a record," Petunia chanted over and over as she danced around the room in her red bunny printed pants pajamas.
"What is it now?" asked Lily groggily as she tumbled out of her blue and red bed.
"Thirteen minutes and sixteen seconds!" Petunia cheered. Jeff was leaning on the doorframe.
"Whatta you know, the little witch creature lives," he said.
"We don't know if I am a witch yet, Mr. Wizard," Lily said. She was finally regaining her senses. She was about to look up at him when Petunia shrieked.
"JEFF COVER YOUR EYES! SHE'S NOT DISGUISED YET!!!!!!!" Petunia yelled. Jeff went white and dashed away. Lily sighed and grabbed her stuff for the shower.
"Thanks Petty," Lily said sweetly. She walked into her bathroom and started the water.
"Mum and dad went out. They'll be back by noon, I'll get breakfast ready and scold Jeff," Petunia said as she left Lily's room.
"DON'T YELL AT HIM!" Lily called after her sister.
When the water was warm she pulled back the brightly fish covered curtain and hopped into the tub. She was soon clean. She got out and put in her black hair dye, not permanent of course.
Then she grabbed her black contacts and put them in. She took her glasses off of her dresser. She groaned. Jeff had spelled them again. Now they were purple thin wire ovals with small flowers along them.
She bounded down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Get some real clothes," Jeff said as soon as she walked in.
"Shut-up Jeff. I like these clothes," Lily snapped.
"They make you look fat."
"Maybe I am," Lily said highly.
"I've seen you in your pajamas," Jeff said slyly.
"Leave me alone. I'm already stuck with these glasses until your spell wears off!" Lily said dryly. She was wearing a pair of really loose black shorts that went to her knees and were tied up with rope. Then she was searing a very large T-Shirt that said, BUG OFF! in bold green letters.
"Read her shirt and bug off Jeff. We'll never win," Petunia said as she gave them each some blueberry pancakes.
"Thanks, Petty," they said in unison.
Just then a great big barn owl swooped down and dropped a letter in Jeff's lap. It was closely followed by another which dropped one in Lily's lap. This one waited on the table. Jeff gave it some of his pancakes.
"JEFF!" Petunia yelled.
"Open it Lils," Jeff urges, ignoring his other sister. Petunia stuck her tongue out at Jeff before going over to Lily's side and nudging her.
Taking a deep breath Lily slid her fingers under the wax seal and opened the letter. Petunia and Lily started shrieking at the same time and jumping up and down. Jeff knowing what was inside the envelope smiled and opened his supply list.
Later that night there was a large dinner with the whole family. "Oh, Petunia! Cheer up! You can come shopping with us this year since you won't have to baby-sit Lily," Penny said sweetly.
"I know, it'll just be so lonely here without Lily," Petunia said with a sigh. Penny looked at her husband and he nodded.
"Draling," Penny started.
"We've been thinking about this since Lily turned 11 last March," Otis said.
"We knew she'd probably be accepted."
"So we thought of how lonely you'd feel."
"After careful consideration."
"We've decided."
"You can choose any boarding school you would like to attend this year!" Penny finished.
Lily hugged Petunia and they rushed upstairs to Lily's room. They had hoped their parents would say this ad they had been searching for months for a good school.
"Here it is!" Lily said. She pulled out a sheet of paper that was filled out. They rushed back downstairs.
"Mum, dad, I would like to go to Herring's Academy in Italy," Petunia said. She stared at her parents.
"Alright," they said together.
"YES!"
"Oh, here's the form. Lily and I filled it all out!" Petunia said cheerfully. The girls went back upstairs and locked themselves in Lily's room.
She took out her contacts and washed her hair. Then they started doing each other's make-up and hair and stuff.
