There was a knock at Lily's bedroom door and then a loud shrill. "Lily! Mummy said you have to be ready to go to your freak school!" Petunia said. Lily smiled. She was going back home, sure, she didn't mind spending the holidays with Sev, and having Stormy stay for two weeks had been good, but all she really wanted was to be where she could use her magic. At Hogwarts, she could.
The only thing Lily disliked about Hogwarts was James Potter, and his friends. Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin. Remus was okay, but that was because he was Stormy's brother.
Lily packed up the rest of her things she needed and then locked up her trunk. She sadly didn't have a pet; her parents were muggles and didn't really want an owl flying around the place. She'd received many owls from Stormy, and a few from her other friends, but that was all.
Downstairs her mother was putting a plate of toast on the dining table, Petunia sat next to her father scowling. Sev had told Lily that Petunia was jealous because she was normal and Lily was special. This was probably true, who wouldn't want to be a witch or wizard?
Lily's mother bustled around the kitchen as Lily sat down and ate. "Do you have all your books dear?" she asked.
"Yes, all in my trunk" Lily replied, taking a large bite from her toast.
"And your robes are clean? And all your clothes?" her mother asked.
Lily laughed. "Mum, you packed my trunk! You don't have to ask these things. I have all my books, I have all my clothes, I have everything I need" Lily smiled.
Her mother become less anxious and sat down to eat.
This year would have to be good.
