Chapter 1

"Lily! Lily! Are you awake?!"

That's what Lily woke up to on a gorgeous Saturday morning.

"I'm up awake now Tuny!"

Lily groaned and got up, stumbling to the bathroom. She glanced once at the mirror before shrugging, not really worried about how she looked. Once she got ready she ran down the stairs, barging straight into Petunia.

"Let's go to the park Lily. I bet I could swing higher than you!"

"You cannot swing higher than me! You know you can't." Lily retorted with a smug smile.

"Well, let's go find out!" Petunia teased sticking her tongue out at Lily before running off.

Lily smiled and followed her into the park and got on a swing next to Petunia's, shoving herself off the ground with her feet, into the air. They talked about anything and everything, toothy smiles pasted onto their faces, laughing almost all the time.

"We should go home now before mom gets worried." Petunia stated after a while with a frown.

"Okay." Lily replied although she kept on swinging, going higher and higher.

Petunia slowed the swing down and got off carefully.

"Come on Lily."

"Coming!" Lily prepared to jump off the swing, onto the ground.

"Don't do that! You know how many times mom has told you not to!" Petunia shouted.

"It's fine. I've done it plenty of time!" Lily retorted, laughing.

She jumped off the swing and walked over to Petunia.

"I want to show you something." Lily stage whispered.

She glanced around her to make sure no one was watching before turning around and plucking a flower from the ground. Petunia was looking at her strangely.

"Watch." Lily said.

Lily put her hand over the flower, her face contorted in concentration. The flower slowly started to open up its petals and then fold back again. Petunia was staring at Lily in a mix of shock and envy passing over her face.

"How do you do that?" she asked.

"I don't know. I just can."

Lily started doing it again.

"Stop it!"

"Why?" Lily asked her looking confused.

"Just don't. It's creepy."

Lily winced looking a little hurt.

"Okay. I'll stop."

"Good." Petunia looked at her distastefully. "Let's go home."

"WAIT!"

A boy jumped out of the green spiky bushes behind Lily, startling them all.

"I know what you are."

"What do you mean?" Lily questioned.

"Come on Lily, let's go. It's no use wasting our time on this boy." Petunia sneered when she said boy. She didn't seem to like the boy. He seemed off and she felt like she had seen him before. Not to mention the way he looked with his to hand-me- down clothes and greasy hair that looked like he had never taken a shower in his life. Overall, he looked disgusting.

"Wait Tuny. What do you mean?" Lily asked the boy again. She didn't have anything against the boy, and she was quite curious as to what he meant.

"You're a witch." The boy said smiling.

Lily looked affronted. "That's not a very nice thing to say!" She turned on her heel and walked away, joining Petunia.

At that time, she didn't realize that what the boy had said would change her life forever.

So, how was it? I hope it was okay! This was more of a flashback as you'll see in the soon to come chapters! So PLEASE, PLEASE, REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
