Lily
I lived in the depth of England and my name is Lily. I had a typical family. There was my older sister, Prtunia, my mom and dad. I was near eleven and had eyes of emeralds. Which I never knew where I got them because my whole family up till me had bright blue. I also had reddish brown hair and a very pale face. My neck was the normal size as for my sister it was twice as long.
As I grew up I found that I was totally different from my sister. While I liked to play and imagine I was the King of England and I had to fight dragons, or I had magical powers. Petunia rather has nothing to do with me. She would even tell her friends that I was not related to her. Oh! There was one other thing, weird thing always happened to me. Once I had even made a tea saucer fly up and hit Petunia in the back of the head. As I remembered it was when Petunia said I would never be beautiful.
All my question was answered one day when a small letter arrived. It was address to me there was no return address, the writing was green. I studied the envelope for about 10 minutes or so. I observed that the envople was made have relied soft paper or even clothe. The writing on the front was very sloppy. It read:
Miss. Lily
3267 Rosebank Dr.
Depth of England
Third bedroom to the right
Petunia thought it was some stupid chan letter. Being curious I opened it and two pages fly out. It read:
Dear Mss Lily,
You have been accepted into Hogwarts, School for Wizards and Witches. You will need to send an owl by July 31. Classes start September 1. If you need extra information there will always be someone to help at the Leaky Cauldron.
Yours Truly,
Minerva McGonagall
I read it over twenty times. Wizards? Witches? I was startled from my thought to hear my mom says, "What are you holding dear?"
I gave her the note. From her face she looked very excited she said, "We must go get your things at once."
I was very curious on how she knew about Hogwarts. So I asked, " You know about Hogwarts?"
" Yes, Your third cousin just graduated from there!"
" Oh"
"Mom you can't believe this stuff," said Petunia who waving my letter around like a mad beast.
Mom was obviously ignoring Petunia and went right on and said we will go to London tomorrow!
I finally took a look at the second page while Petunia was stomping up to her room!!

Like my mom said we did go to London. Petunia didn't even want to come. In her opinion it was too enbrassening to be seen with Lily.
We arrived at the Leaky Cauldron at a little after noon. We traveled first to a store were they sold wands. It took more then fifty tries till I found the right wand. Luckily they accepted mom's money and converted some for her. Mom wanted to go to a dress shop out in the Muggle World. So I finished my shopping on my own. It went to get my books, potions, owl (which I later named Snowy), and robes. I had got some extra money but decided not to spend it. As I was walking back to the pub, I saw an unusually shop called Quditich Supplies. I walked in. There were two boys admiring a broomstick. So I walked over to see what was special about a broomstick. In a very quiet voice, I asked," Are you going to Hogwarts"
To my surprise, one of them answered "Yes, we are first years. What about you?"
"First"
The same one was talking again" My name is James Potter and this is
The other boy rudely interrupted "Sirius Black, and your name is.."
"Lily. Do you like Quditich?" I said just trying to make conversation.
At the same time they both answered "Yes"
At that moment I heard a familiarly voice "Lily were are you?"
I felt so embarrassed; my mom was calling for me in front of these boys. The probably think I'm such a dork. Without thinking I ran out of the door, right past my mother. I couldn't blame her. But still I bet they would never want to talk to me and I also thought Sirius was kinda of cute.
When I got home I was quizzed by my dad on all the things that had happened. I told them all except for the part about how I thought Sirius was cute. Petunia was hiding in her room the whole time.
It was September1, the day Hogwarts began. Petunia wouldn't hear of coming down to the station. I didn't care. I wasn't about to let Petunia ruin my day. As we arrived at the station, I said my last goodbye and promised to write. I careful walked through platform 9¾. I hopped on the train and traveled to the last and only empty compartment. I didn't really want to met Sirius and James again. I stared out the window and the train started to go. I was having a wonderful day. Suddenly I heard a familiar voice. It was Sirius.
"Glad we found an empty compartment, James. Wonder why we haven't seen Lily yet? She seemed really sweet"
" Yeah"
I squeezed closer to the window, when I had an idea I would act like I was from the way back and go to the next compartment. I got up quietly and started to move quickly to the front with my head in the book. When I passed James and Sirius I heard "Lily"
I quickly turned around and tried to be shocked to see them. I answered back "Oh.. Hi. Is this seat taken"
"Not at all" they both answered.
I sat down and was engulfed in their conversation. We neared Hogwarts but I had to ask one thing "Are you from wizard family?"
"Yes, but don't worry everyone starts at the same level. What house do you want to be in? I want Gryffindor. Have you had anyone in our family every go to Hogwarts?"
"I don't know what house I want to be in and I've heard that I have had a cousin come here"
" Well you want to be in Slytherin," said two boys walking in
Sirius said in mean voice " Lily meet Searvus and Lucas"
We had just arrived at Hogwarts when I remembered the candy I had bought from the lady with the cart. It was title every flavored jellybean. I put a red one in my mouth, just to spit it right back, it landed on James. It had been so HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ran out of the room as fast as I could. As I was leaving I heard James say, "Why does she keep running like that, it was no big deal!"
We suddenly arrived at Hogwarts I pushed to the front. And saw a giant. I MEAN GIANT!!!!!!!!!!. I think his words were four too a boat. I sat down in one of the hundreds of boats and was quickly joined by James and Sirius.
"I'm sorry," I said in the quietest voice.
"No problem" said James.
It wasn't long till we started to move. This must be magical boats because they didn't need any streeing. Half way through our ride the boat was sinking. We had too jump out and swim to shore. When we got there we cracked up laughing!!!!!!!!!!!
We marched inside one after another. Soaking wet, Sirius, James, and I tried to ignore all the stares.
The sorting hat was placed on each of are heads, we easily went right to Gryffindor. And as Lucas and Searvus wanted the were put in Slytherin. Also in Gryffindor was placed three boys named Remus, Peter, and Luke and some other girls which name, I never got.
I enjoyed the food and was almost too stuff to leave the table. I finally made my way to the bed and fell asleep right away.
A/N. This is my first Fanfic so please don't be mad. I don't own any of the characters except for Luke, and I don't pretend to. I know my editing skills aren't the best, sorry. My computer went crazy and missed up the format too. Please review, nicely!!!!!!!!
