Finding Out You're a Witch
By: SiriuslySweetGryffindor Summery: We've all been taught that there's no such thing as magic. That it
exists only in fairy tales. But Lily Evans has just received the most extraordinary letter. A letter that just might change her entire life...
Disclaimed: I am making no profit on any of this, and J.K Rowling owns all characters and places in the story besides Lily's house, I invented that.
Chapter 1: Lily's Letter
Curled up on a bay window, reading a book the young Lily Evans suddenly heard a tapping on her window. Wondering what it could be she turned her attention away from the book she was reading and jumped back, spotting the source of the noise, a brown owl. It was almost dark out, but she could see that the owl was carrying some sort of letter. Carefully, Lily opened her window, and the owl quickly flew in, perched on the side of her desk and stuck its leg out. The letter was addressed to:
Miss Lily Evans
Largest bedroom on the second floor on the right
13 Palace Road
London, England.
When Lily took the letter, the owl nipped softly at her fingers, but it allowed her to take it. She opened the letter and read it.
Dear Miss Lily Evans, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School
of Witchcraft and Wizardry. E enclosed is a list of all the necessary
materials. Also enclosed is another letter to explain more about the school. We await your owl no later then the 31st of July. Term will begin
on the 1st of September.
Sincerely yours,
Minerva McGonagall

Before she started reading the other letter she had to sit down for a minute, taking it all in. It was odd, she thought, all my life I've been taught that magic only existed in books, and here was a letter, formal, as though this happened every day, and receiving a letter about a school of 'witchcraft and wizardry' was no different from having breakfast in the morning. She opened the next letter, hardly believing them to be real.
Dear Miss Lily Evans,
You've been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Because of your parentage we have enclosed this letter explaining to you
what you need to do to get your school materials. The items required are available in Diagon Ally, which you get to through a pub called "The Leaky Cauldron." When you enter the Pub, find Tom who will
assist you in getting to Diagon Ally to gather your school materials. Your train ticket is also enclosed. The train will leave at 11am on the 1st of September, from Kings Cross Station, platform 9 ¾. You may bring with you an owl, cat, or toad as a pet. First years may not bring brooms. If you have any questions contact us. The owl that delivered your letter will stay
close by until the 1st of September.
Sincerely Yours,
Minerva McGonagall
