Chapter 1
The Letter
"Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories,
Time after"
11-year-old Megan Bergemann was standing on her down stairs bed in front of her mirror singing into her hairbrush.
Like most girls would.
It was her favourite song in the whole world.
Her second favourite was summer rain.
"Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking to far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say go-slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds."
11-year-old Rosie Cartwright was standing next to Megan.
She was also singing.
Megan and Rosie both had blondish brown hair.
Megan's hair went up to her shoulders and it was dead straight.
Rosie's went up to her elbows and she had curled it two days before.
They both had brown eyes.
Some would think they were twins but they weren't even related.
"If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time"
There was a third voice singing.
It belonged to Lily Evans.
She was also eleven.
She had fiery red hair and hers too went up to her elbows.
It was dead straight and she had Emerald green eyes.
Everyone always complimented her on them, because they were so dazzling and they always sparkled.
Her, Megan and Rosie were all best friends.
"After my picture fades and darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows you're wondering
If I'm ok
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time"
It was now Lily's turn to sing solo.
It was one of their favourite things to do at a sleepover.
They had gotten up to a lot of mischief the night before.
They had gotten hungry and decided to go to the kitchen and get something.
They made such a big mess and they had to clean it up because they were caught.
Even though Megan had a butler.
"If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time"
They were all dancing and flicking their hair all over the place.
"You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds"
Lily had two sisters.
Her older sisters name was Petunia.
She had blonde hair and was fairly pretty, although she used to be prettier.
She was fourteen.
Lily's little sister was 4 years old and her name was Kacy.
She had red hair and it almost reached her backside.
She had light green eyes but weren't as pretty as Lily's.
Her mum's name was Jodie and she had red hair and green eyes also.
Her dad's name was Harold and he had brown hair.
He was a photographer.
"If you're lost you can look and you will find me.
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting.
Time after time."
Megan was an only child.
Most would expect her to be a spoiled brat.
But she was nothing of the sort.
Her mum had brown curly hair and her name was Alicia.
Her dad was bold and his name was Matt.
He was a lawyer and that's why they were extremely rich.
"If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time"
Rosie's Parents were both Dentists.
Her mum's name was Honey and her dad's name was Marco.
Her mum had brown hair.
Her dad was also bald.
She also had a little sister called Olivia.
She had blonde hair and it was slightly wavy.
"Time after time
Time after time
Time after time"
"Whoa bravo hooray."
They all jumped and looked at the window where the noise was coming from.
"SIRIUS BLACK, I'm going to kill you!"
All three girls ran over to the window and climbed out.
They chased Sirius all the way across the front yard.
"Geese you girls are faster then I thought." he said looking back.
But they started to catch up even more.
So he just shut up and concentrated on running.
But the girls sped up and they all wrestled him to the ground.
"Ah hi." He said grinning an innocently.
"Can you be good for five minutes?" asked Rosie.
"Yeah" he said looking hurt.
"Why do we always catch the other minutes?" said Megan
Lily laughed.
"Hey Rosie"
"Yeah" she said to Sirius.
"Nice P.J's"
"What"
She looked down.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh"
She ran inside.
"Lily." He said
"I know nice P.J's"
"No, will you marry me?" he said and he grinned hopefully.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH."
She too screamed and ran inside.
"Megan." He said
"I know I'm in my Pyjama's and I won't marry you."
"That wasn't what I was going to say." He puckered his lips, closed his eyes and moved closer to Megan.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
She screamed the most and ran inside.
Lily and Rosie were watching from the window.
"Works every time." He said to himself.
He started to walk home when he heard another scream. He turned around.
"What now." But then he realised it was his mum.
She came running towards him.
"Mum what happened?" he said horrified.
"You you've been excepted into Hogwarts."
"Cool." he said and he and his mum ran next door.
-----------------------------------
"What the hell is wrong with him?" said Lily.
"Don't ask me."
"Girls, Jodie's here."
They were going to stay at Lily's place that night.
"Coming." All three said.
But just as they were about to move an owl swooped in the open window and dropped three letters on their laps.
Then it flew out again, all three girls took the letters addressed to them.
It was in green ink and the address read
To Miss Evans
The bed
Second story room
Megan's house
6 Privet drive
Little Whinging
Surrey
England
"Creepy, they even know where we're sitting and they use animals to deliver their mail."
They all opened their letters.

"What that's impossible." Said Lilly"We all know there are no such things as witches and wizards." Said Megan
"Someone's pulling a prank," said Rosie
"Don't look at me." Said Sirius from the window.
"Well who else would do something like that?"
"Well what if it's not a joke." Replied Sirius
"How do you know?" Said Rosie
"Well first of all I got the same letter and absolutely no one tricks the black myster."
All three girls cracked up laughing.
"Any way." He said frowning
"My parents are Magic."
"Sure and I've met prince charming." Said Lily.
"You have?" asked Sirius amazed.
"Ooooooh." All three girls groaned.
"Haven't you ever done something you couldn't explain?"
All three girls thought about this for a moment and decided to believe him.
In the Kitchen Jodie and Alicia were talking over coffee, when they heard three loud thumps from the upstairs bedroom.
"What was that?" asked Alicia.
They both ran upstairs and into the bedroom.
They found all three girls had fainted and Sirius standing on a ladder at the window.
"What happened?" Jodie asked Sirius.
Sirius handed them the letters.
"Oh."

When the girl's had woken Rosie rang her mum and told her about it.
"Oh Honey that's so cool." Said her mum.
"How come you never told me?" Asked Rosie.
"I don't know."
About ten minutes later they sent the owl back with three letters.
It had been waiting at the front door.
