This is my first fanfic! Enjoy :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Lily or any of those other Harry Potter characters. Unfortunately.
"Lily, we have to go. Burdocks Academy won't enroll us themselves!" Petunia hovers over me as I clear the table of my school supplies. "Well, we are not in that much
of a rush; you could have put everything away nicely! Not just sweep them off the table?" I roll my eyes and hug her. What a neat freak! But still, we're sisters and
best friends. Together, we skip outside and into the car, where Mum and Dad are waiting.
"Burdocks Academy is a wonderful school for you two! It will truly teach you lessons for life! I'm so proud of you two for getting the top scores on their entrance
exam!" Mum trills. Tuney always laughs when I imitate Mum. She doesn't hold her laughter in this time either.
"How much higher was my score than Lily's?" I can tell Mom tries to change the subject, but Tuney is insistent. The competitive girl she is, this fact can't be kept a
secret from her.
"Er, well it was Lily dear, who had the higher score. She got a 247 and you got a 241. That's a really close difference though, so there is no need to worry. And you're
both accepted, which is all I happen to care about." Oh no. She's going to have a fit! Or become depressed. As usual, it's my duty to cheer her up. It's not hard,
because so many of her competitors most likely have worse scores than 241. I think I heard Hilda Krockers saying she got a 210. I might spice that up a bit to cheer
her up.
"Well done Tuney! I am sure we both beat Hilda and Lisa Krockers. We can go rub it in their faces. What could they have gotten? 192? And that William McKinnon will
be surely impressed! You'll win his heart over, you just watch." This consoles her at once.
"You're right, I have nothing to worry about. You must have gotten the highest score among the new 6th graders! And I must have the highest score for 7th graders!"
I can tell she will be talking for a while now, so I turn to look out the window.
Mum turns to face the front of the car. The relationship between Tuney and I can be so queer! No matter how competitive, we love each other! We all only hope that
this relationship never ends. If it were to end, I would lose my best friend! She's weird, but Petunia is my sister, and she's so smart. I look up to her.
When we get inside well-known Burdocks Academy, Petunia and I are instantly greeted by groups of kids. Petunia is so popular, and being her little sister, I get to
meet many people. Sometimes, they keep talking to me, rather than Tuney, which I really don't understand, but I find it very enjoyable. Today, while Mum and Dad
sign forms for the new school year, starting August 31st, Tuney and I start looking for our friends. I look for William, so I can help Tuney out and tell him about her.
While walking through the crowds of kids, I bump into this oddly quiet boy. His jet-black hair hangs down so long. For some reason, he turns red, mutters an apology,
and rushes past me. I think he lives out in Spinner's End. I can't stop thinking about him now. His piercing eyes flash in my mind over and over.
Back at home, Petunia and I start looking at our uniforms. We look ever so smart in them, but mine are a bit too long. This will be my first time going to the same
school as Petunia. That ought to be nice. She can show me around, and knowing some older kids always helps. We also got our textbooks, which look so complicated.
Tuney will help me though. I know she will.
