Lily Evans yawned getting out of bed one early summer morning. She glanced over at herself in the mirror that hung dresser near the window before she brushed her auburn hair and closed her emerald eyes for a moment. Opening them she cleared her mind dressing in a nice pink shirt with a pair of muggle blue jeans that had a stone wash . She yawned once more and stretched before going down the stairs for breakfast. She smiled seeing her father already seat.
"Morning Dad," she said sitting down at the table.
William Evans smiled while reaching over to ruffle his daughter's hair. "Good morning Lily," he replied going back to eating and reading the paper. He was a muggle doctor who worked at a busy emergency room. Her mother worked at a bakery and occasionally brought home extra pastries and breads left over from the day.
Lily smiled and fixed her hair while scooping a helping of eggs onto her plate. As she looked around there was a loud thundering crash outside. "Merlin!" Lily yelped getting up to go see whatever trouble was going on.
Her cat, it seemed, had been trying to climb a potted plant and it tipped over onto him. She sighed and went to untangle the calico cat from the plant and clean up the mess. Three more days and I'll be seventeen she thought. Then I won't have to do this by hand, she sighed again finishing. Done she went back to breakfast. Lily grinned as her sister came down scowling.
"Your cat just attacked me!" She yelled, the cat in question ran over to lily mewling innocently.
Lily laughed while bending over to pet the cat. "He wanted you awake." She said standing back to full height. Petunia sat down and started to eat in silence. Lily glanced at the calendar to quickly check the date.
"August twelfth," She said smiling "Hogwarts letter should be here soon." She picked up Merlin and went to go find his mouse toy in effort to keep him out of trouble. When she got up to her room an owl, looking very irritated, was pecking the window. She smiled setting Merlin down on the bed and let the bird in. She took her Daily Prophet and paid the small owl a knut and two sickles. She sat down on her bed causing it bounce slightly.
Lily unrolled the paper reading the headline. Nothing interesting she thought glancing through the paper while petting Merlin. Sighing Lily stopped reading it and threw the paper in her waist basket. She then lay down on her bed, done in Gryffindor colors, with Merlin contently lying beside her. She sighed once more saying, "Do I really need to have that boring thing come every morning?"
Merlin gave a small meow, which Lily took as a 'no'. She grinned, petting him. "Good idea," she agreed, letting Merlin up to go and find something to get into. Preferably her sisters make up and perfume. Lily watched as the cat ran out of the room. She sighed again listening to the sounds of little kids playing outside and cars occasionally passing. She glanced up at her sister, who was in her door way. Frownin she asked, "What do you ant Petunia?"
"I want to know why you let your cat into my room?" She said hottily glaring at her sister with her arms crossed over her chest.
"I didn't let him in there." She said sitting up and glaring right back at her sister.
Petunia pursed her lips and stomped off. Lily shook her head getting up and looked out the window to see a barn owl flying to her window. She opened the window quickly as it flew in landing on her bed. The owl looked at her silently and lifted its leg. Lily took the letter noticing it was unusually heavy. She opened it eagerly sitting down on her bed as the owl gave a small hoot and flew off. Lily dumped the contents into her hand and gasped. A head girl badge was in her hand.
She pulled the lists out after setting the badge on her nightstand. Lily read through both letters and noticed a third. It was the rules for being Head Girl and where to meet on the train.
She smiled and went outside to sit. She waved goodbye to her father and sat down on the porch swing. She watched the children across the street play for a while before getting up to go, leaving a note saying she was going for a walk around the block.
It was almost sunset when she got back. Yawning she sat down at the table waiting for her parents since the table was set. Petunia was already there, starting to eat. Lily started putting food on her plate quickly. She finished about twenty minutes later and went upstairs before anyone could stop her. She plopped onto her bed falling asleep almost instantly.
