Chapter One
It was just like any other Sunday morning at the Evans family. Petunia scowled at Lily as she plopped herself next to her for breakfast.
"Lovely morning, isn't it Petunia?" Lily smiled at her older sister, who obviously did not share the same sentiment.
However, Lily wasn't in a mood to argue or to notice that Petunia's disgust at her everyday-is-the-best-day-of-my-life attitude. It was her 11th birthday that day, and nothing could spoil it, especially not her sister's scowls especially reserved Just For Her.
At that moment, Mr. And Mrs. Evans came in. "Happy birthday, sweetheart, " Serena Evans beamed at Lily, bending to give her a kiss on the cheek.
Petunia made a face. Being unhappy with the fact that her mother did not give her one for her birthday (not in the morning anyway), interrupted with a sour look. "Mom, I'm hungry."
"Ok dear, I'm coming." Serena smiled at Petunia, who immediately smiled back and turned to give Lily a smug look.
Lily rolled her eyes. "When will she ever grow up?" she muttered under her breath as she munched on a roll.
"Lily, don't talk when you are eating. It's bad for the digestion. Air gets into your stomach and you will get hiccups," her father, a doctor, commented behind his newspaper.
Petunia snickered, earning a glare from Lily.
"Stop it, Pathetic Petunia."
"I'm not pathetic, you spastic lily!"
"Well, spastic and lily doesn't not go well, unlike Pathetic and Petunia.maybe pitiful will do too."
"Will not!"
"Will too!"
"I said it will not!"
"C'mon Petunia. You know it and I know it. It DOES go well. Just because you have a limited vocabulary doesn't I'm just like you. I can think of words that rhyme."
"They do not rhyme! They just start with the same alphabet!"
"There you have it. They do go well!" Lily grinned as Petunia looked as if her head just exploded.
"Now girls, stop arguing over such trivial matters. Petunia, give in to Lily, ok? Just for today, since it's her birthday," Serena looked at her daughters.
"WHAT? Give in to HER?! But she started it in the first place!" Petunia protested, shooting a furious glance at Lily, who was grinning as though she had just won a million dollars.
As Petunia glared at her, she just gave a shrug, and continued munching on her roll.
"Silence at last. Sometimes I wonder when you girls will ever get tired of arguing with each other."
Their father smiled at both of them. Lily was about to reply that maybe till the end of time, when Petunia screamed.
"Petunia Evans! What are you doing? Such unladyli-" her mother started, but squealed when an owl swooped down to the breakfast table. Sam Evans's eyes nearly bulged out of his head.
"What in the heavens is that?" he shouted, as the owl passed a letter bearing a crest of some sort shaped like a shield to a bewildered and shocked Lily. Before Lily and the rest of her family had gotten over the shock, the owl ruffled its feathers importantly and flew off.
"Well, erm, that was an interesting surprise for my birthday," Lily smiled at her parents as she opened the letter. Out came a letter, followed by a parchment listing some strange stuff.
The letter read:
Dear Ms. Evans,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been enrolled at Hogwarts, a school of wizardry. Congratulations. This is a school which educates young men and women to become professional witches and wizards, and the headmaster is Albus Dumberdore. You will also find a list of things you are required to get. You will be able to get them at Diagon Alley. The train station for our school train is platform 9 ¾, in London. We look forward to your coming.
Minerva McGonagall Deputy headmistress
Next, on the parchment, came a list of things which Lily was required to buy before entering Hogwarts. She looked at the letter, glanced at her surprised family, and looked at the letter again.
"Erm, Mom and dad," She asked, though seriously hoping it would not be so, "Is this some kind of joke? I mean, for my birthday?"
~The next day~
Once they had gotten over the shock of having one of their daughters as a witch, Sam and Serena Evans beamed at Lily each time they think about it.
"Ah, I would never have imagined you as a witch. Now my little girl is all grown up, and ready to go to the school all on her own."
Serena Evans smiled fondly at Lily, who grinned. "Oh mom, you don't have to worry. I will be all right. I always am, no matter what I do," she smiled.
Petunia didn't look happy for the next few days. Firstly, it was because it seemed that lily was now more special than her, or maybe abnormal.
Either way, it just made her more special in the family, and Petunia didn't like that. As a result, her face usually wore a sulk or a scowl when she saw Lily.
To further irritate her, Lily was positively smiling everywhere. "Oh man, I can't wait for that day to come. A witch sounds so exciting! I wonder what kind of magic will I learn? How to mix a love potion maybe?" All these thoughts kept running through her mind.
~*~
That day, as they prepared to go London to buy Lily's supplies, Petunia hung back, not because she didn't want to go, but because she simply wanted to make things difficult for Lily.
"I don't want to go to that abnor- that.that place! It is simply unreasonable to want me to go just because SHE needs to!"
Petunia whined, hoping that they would give in to her and drop the idea of sending lily to Hog zits or warts or whatever that place was.
"Right dear. I guess you will have to stay at home alone then. Lily has to get her supplies. It's important," her father replied, beaming at Lily, who was grinning from face to face.
"But- but- I -" Petunia started to argue, but was cut short by Lily.
"Well, good bye then! Have a nice time at home! I will bring you some souvenirs back!"
Lily waved cheerfully at the almost irate Petunia before banging the door shut in her face.
"Horrible Lily! I wonder what I ever did to deserve such a.a.mean sister! Now what do I do? AHHH! I hate you Lily Evans, if it's the last thing I do!" Petunia fumed.
