Lily and James: The Real Story: Year One

Chapter 1: Me, Lily Evans

Dear Diary,

I have wanted to tell you something for a long time, I was just afraid some one would read it. It started when Petunia was babysitting me. She was making me clean the house- again. Mom had a cake for the new neighbors cooling on top of the fridge, why she puts it there I don't know- I think it has something to do with Dad being short and can't steal cake up there. Petunia was standing underneath it, I had wished it would fall on her head so she would shut up and leave me alone. The cake fell on her head! And the cake was up there securely! I at first thought it was a coincidence, but more things happened. I think I am a witch. Is this a dream? Are there other witches like me? How did it happen? My 11th birthday is tomorrow, I should sleep, and at least I know I can prank Petunia with out her knowing it! Cause I can be far, far away, and I can prank her! PETUNIA WILL NOT MAKE ME CLEAN ANOTHER ROOM BESIDES MINE AGAIN!

Love you,

Lily Evans

"LILY! Happy Birthday!" called Mrs. Evans

"Thanks Mom,"

"We got lots to do!"

"Blow out the candles!" Lily made a wish, I wish I could go somewhere special, be not normal, and learn more about being a witch.

That evening, there was a rather loud knock on the door

"Oh, that might be Vernon!" Cried Petunia, (she and Vernon were child hood sweethearts- ewe!)

"I'll get it!" said Lily

When she opened the door a rather large man who was bigger than Santa Claus came in.

"Sorry to be botherin' ye at this time of nigh' but I have a letter for Miss Lily Evans"

"That's me, uh come in- if you can fit"

"No problem, here ye go, oh and made ye some birthday brownies" Lily opened the letter,

Miss Evans,

Congratulations you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, blah, blah, blah,

Professor Albus Dumbledore

"So I really am a witch?'

"Yes, ye are."

"Alright!"

"Lily I always knew you were special in some sort of way, this is wonderful!" said Mr. Evans

"Oh Lily, I so thrilled!" said Mrs. Evans

"She's a witch! Ewe! This is insane! You really believe this! Can you?" asked Petunia

"Petunia, you should be happy for your sister!" said Mrs. Evans

"Now before we go any further, Sir, what is your name?" said Mr. Evans looking up at the tall jolly fellow before him,

"Oh, I forgot, I'm Rubeus Hagrid I'm from Hogwarts and at this time of year, I come around and break the great news to our new young new Wizards and Witches."

"Ah. I see, well I have no problem with this, Lily has needed a change in her life and she does look like she wants to go,"

"It's fine with me, only if Lily wants to go."

"Oh mom I do! I do!"

"Well, then you may go,"

"Yes!"

"Alright, well, I'll just need to take her to Diagon Alley to get her supplies and robes"

"Go ahead, you can leave as soon as you need to." Said Mrs. Evans

They went to Diagon Alley to get her things. Lily walked around town in awe, she had never saw any thing like it Hogwarts was going to be amazing.
