Lily is requested to attend the school for she has magical blood. Her foster parents are delighted that she has the opportunity to become a witch, but her sister Petunia Evan's, who was always envious of her, hates her. How will Lily survive at a new school surrounded by people of a type she has not yet encountered, and make her sister accept her for who she is?
Chapter One: The Mysterious Letter
Lily Evan's rolled over in bed attempting to ignore the deafening piano music that her sister Petunia played every morning. Fourteen year old Petunia wasn't very self confident, and she felt that the only way to be respected in the world was to display her only talent to her family. She was secretly jealous of her younger sister who had always maintained her parents attention, by performing in school plays, and winning skating contests. The poor wretched girl awoke every morning at 6 and attempted to wake the entire house with the sound of her instrument. She truly hoped that her parents would realize that she could be the next Mozart. Lily sighed, wishing her sister would stop this irritating morning ritual. She knew that Petunia was extremely talented in music, but must she show off like this in the wee hours of the morning. Lily gave up and groggily stepped out of bed. Even the comfort of her plush mattress couldn't lull her back to sleep.
The child wandered to the landing at the top of the stairs and called down as quietly as possible.
"Petunia!!!" and at this point she yawned. "If you want to play, do it later when everyone is awake. Thanks to you I get only 5 hours of sleep a night."
Petunia stormed up the stairs to her sister in a fury, and told her that she just could not get her beauty rest every night, and refused to oblige her by stopping her early morning piano serenades.
"Fine Petunia, but if you don't listen to me I can speak to Mum, and Dad. They won't be too pleased with you then, will they?" mumbled Lily as she ran her fingers through her tangled red curls.
Then she went back to her bedroom and shut the door in a vain attempt to muffle the sound of the piano downstairs. Just as she was about to drift off into dream land, she heard footsteps outside her door. "Lily, wake up," she heard an urgent whisper, as the door creaked open and light spilled all over her still form. Lily knew it was Petunia and was hoping that if she appeared to be convincingly asleep, she would just leave her in peace.
"Lily. It's important, you've got a letter in the mail!" begged her sister.
The child rolled over to face her, and opened her eyes reluctantly.
"All right let me have it then." and she reached her arm out from beneath the quilt.
Petunia handed her sister the letter, and then proceeded to sit on the bed beside her. As Lily began to tear the envelope open, she looked up at her sister.
"Petunia go away." she demanded.
"I. I want to see the letter." the girl stammered.
"No, it's mine, and you've been enough of a bother this morning. I can't stand the sight of you!" Lily hissed. "So get out!!!"
Petunia rose rapidly and scurried out of the room. Why was she so frightened of he sister anyway. Lily was the younger one, so she ought not be the one doing any bossing around. Petunia closed the door and waited behind it. Lily, unaware that her sister was eavesdropping, began to read the letter aloud to herself.
Dear Lily Evan's, Wed. 24 May, 1960 Hello, you don't know me but I know you in an indirect sort of way. You are only a tiny infant I got to know you for brief minutes, then you were taken away. My name is Marie Le Bon and I am your mother. You were adopted by muggles. Now let me explain, because this all may be new to you. I am 17 years old, I am poor, and I had a baby, you. Your father is a busy man, and won't have anything to do with you or me. I cannot afford to keep you, so that is why you live with muggles. Now I am also a witch, and so are you, that means that you have magical blood in you. On your 10th birthday you will receive a letter from a secret school in Britain named the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and wizardry. I saved up all of my money for you in a bank in the magical world so you can attend this school and become what you were born to be. I only wish I could have mothered you, but I do believe that your muggle (non magical) parents love you as much as I do, or possibly more, only because they have watched you grow. This letter is to be sent to you on your birthday when you turn 10. I am ill and the doctors say that I only have a couple of months left, so when you receive this letter you will not be able to find me, and that tears at my heart, but I will always love you. Now happy tenth birthday. I hope you will accept the invitation to attend Hogwarts, do it for me.
Love,
Marie Le Bon

From behind the door Petunia gasped. And Lily sat on her bed refusing to believe this revelation. Thinking that some psycho had thought it would be a good joke to send a random child a phony letter from a long lost mother who was a witch. The idea was completely ridiculous because she didn't know how an insane person could come up with such a story, and be capable of mailing it to Lily. With all the security in Britain, Lily wondered how a stranger could have discovered her name. The child was frightened by this invasion of her privacy and fled to her parents to see what they could do to help her. Surely this was all nonsense, Lily thought as she sped down the hall, not even noticing that her sister had heard everything.
