Lily jumped out of bed, surprizingly early for a Summer Saturday.
"Mother!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Lily Evans, an 11 year old, ginger hair, deep emerald eyes, has a very loud voice.
There was an owl on the edge of her bed staring back at her. It cocked its head, set a letter down then took off out the window.
Lily's mother, Paige, came bursting into her room. "What's wrong!"
"An owl, just set that letter, on my bed, at," Lily glanced at the clock. "6:45 in the morning."
Her mother leaned up against the doorframe, "Are you sure it wasn't a dream and that you sleptwalked and put the letter there?"
"Oh I'm sure." said Lily. At that moment her father, Jake, and her sister, Petunia came to the door.
"Why so early Lily!" Petunia screeched.
Their father hushed her, "Lily, what is the problem?" he replied calmly.
"An owl supposedly set that letter on the edge of her bed." Paige answered.
"No! An owl DID put that letter on my bed!" Lily complained.
"Well, lets see what is says." Jake said and reached for the letter. His fingers were barely centimeters away from it when Lily dived and snatched it away.
She ripped it open and read out loud,

"Oh my God!" Lily yelled. "I'm a witch!"
Her mother and father gasped then encircled her. "I can't believe my baby is a witch!" her mother said. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
"I am proud to be your father. I have always been but now, I'm even more proud!" her father exclaimed. The only person not happy about this was 14 year old Petunia. She was left in the doorway glaring at her sister and all the attention she got. 'Lily always gets the attention.' she thought. 'Lily this, Lily that. Not very many of our parent's friends knew they had two daughters.'
Lily pulled her head above her parent's shoulders and invited Petunia to come and join with a wave of her hand. Petunia took one glance at her then walked away from the sceen. Lily began wonder why her sister was always so cross with her but, the thoughts were quickly eliminated when her mother and father squeezed her tighter.
