Petunia Evans stared down at the thick parchment in amazement. A witch! She was a witch! Her parents were whispering excitedly to each other on the couch. Her little sister Lily was staring up at her with her big green eyes, looking awed. "I shall be back to escort you to Diagon Alley for your school things Ms. Evans," the stern looking witch who had brought her letter gave Petunia a small smile. "Any further questions?" Petunia in fact had hundreds of them, so excited she didn't know where to begin. However, the witch had been there for over an hour already, and Petunia was sure all her questions would be answered soon enough. "Not at the moment Professor McGonagall. Thank you." The woman nodded and Petunia walked her to the door. The woman exited the house and turned sharply on her heel, disappearing with a loud crack. Petunia stared in amazement at the now empty air for a moment before shutting the door.
The trip to Diagon Alley had been exciting and strange. Professor McGonagall had led her around patiently, even smiling slightly at her amazement. Lily and her parents had accompanied them, her sister almost bursting with excitement. Now, standing at the platform of 9 ¾, Petunia felt nervous. She had never spent more than a day away from her parents and not even that long away from Lily before. Pulling her red haired sister close, she held on for a long moment. "Petunia love, you must get on the train. It will be leaving shortly." Petunia pulled away from Lily to be swept up in a hug from her teary mother. Her father laid a heavy hand on her head and gently stroked her hair back. Bending to press a quick kiss to her forehead, he gave a small smile. "Do us proud sweet heart." Feeling her eyes sting and start to blur, Petunia nodded and gave a shaky smile. "See you for Christmas," she promised, then turned and boarded the Hogwarts Express.
A/N: Short first chapter I know, but I got this idea and I wanted to get it started. Now I just have to figure out where I'm going with it.
