A/N- Hello everybody. This is my first story on so I hope you like it. Please Review! I know this chapter's really short. But don't worry, the others will be longer.

I do not own anything in this story except most of the plot, and the things you don't recognize. This goes for the whole story.

Prologue

"Hurry up freak! Mom's going nuts saying were gonna be late and then her precious petal will miss her train!"

Lily couldn't stand her sister, Petunia, anymore. After she got her letter from Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, her sister started calling her freak all the time. She started treating her like an abnormal person too. It was, of course, Petunia who called up the stairs to an overwhelmed Lily Evans the Morning of September 1st. Lily was double checking every item that was left in her room to make sure she didn't need it. Most of her possessions were left in her room because she was going to a magical school, but besides her school things, all she owned were non-magical items. She was really going to miss her record player, and her TV, but at least she had her books. Lily was a reader. She could sit for hours at a time just reading about different characters and their adventures. For the first time in her life, she was going to have an adventure, in a far away place that she knew nothing about. In fact, until a couple of weeks ago when she got the letter, she didn't even know that there were witches and wizards. She never imagined that she was one.

"Petal, we really have to get going, or else you're going to miss the train."

This time it was her father that screamed up the stairs. "Okay dad" Lily responded as she glanced back at her room for the last time that year. Her parents called her Petal all the time. It was her official nickname in the family. It used to annoy her, but she eventually got used to it.

She dragged her trunk down the stairs, trying hard not to make it fall on top of her. It was quite heavy, and she was grateful when her dad came to the rescue and carried it down the stairs. She followed him out to the car and watched as her father put her trunk in the back of the car. He was strong. She had always admired him, and tried to be like him. He was kind, and considerate…a real gentleman. Everybody knew she was a daddy's girl. Lily sat in the car with the rest of her family and listened to the roar of the engine as the automobile pulled out of the driveway and raced down the open road. The house she grew up in faded away into the distance, but it didn't bother her as much as she thought it would. She was leaving. She was leaving Petunia. She was leaving everything that she had ever known until then for a school, and she couldn't have liked the idea more.

A/N- Again, I hope you liked it. Please review!
