A/N: This is Lily Evans first year at Hogwarts, from how she got her letter, meeting the Marauders, and Quidditch lessons. I hope you think it's ok (It's only my second fanfiction-the other one is Harry Potter as well- so I hope it's not to bad.)

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or else I probably wouldn't be writing this- though I THINK I own Maria Duner and the owls.

I was also not sure about what Dumbledore had achieved when they went to school so I just used it all. I also do not know the days that each day fell on so I'm just making it up as I go along.

Chapter 1: The Letter

As Lily sat on her bed, reading a book, she heard a light tapping on her bedroom window. Her heart began to pound in her chest as she walked over to her window. As she pulled back the drapes, the first thing she saw was a bundle of charcoal black feathers with something tied to its leg. As she opened her window, it tumbled in, and landed with loud thud on her desk. She reached out her shaking hands and slowly untied the letter. The owl, relieved of its duty, flew away. Normally, this would have shocked Lily, but she was prepared. She unrolled the parchment, her eyes scanning over the page that read:

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,

Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

Dear Miss. Evans,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins September 1. Someone will be over within the week to explain.

Yours Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

She had wanted to believe that Sev was telling the truth. No matter what Petunia said, she believed Sev.

"Mom, Dad!"

As her parents rushed into her room their looks of fear were replaced by looks of confusion. Wordlessly, she handed them the letter. Their identical expressions went from confusion, to shock, back to confusion, and then to…well Lily couldn't explain it. Then it all came out. She told them everything Sev had told her. It was like her mouth had a mind of its own.

When she was done her mother said, "Well, I wonder when this person…deputy head mistress McGoogal-'' "McGonagall" Lily interrupted. "Yes McGonagall, will be here."

Just as she had finished that sentence another owl flew into her room through her already opened window. As Lily untied the parchment from it's leg, her parents just stood there, mesmerized by the owls large eyes. This next letter was less official, Lily noticed, and read:

Dear Miss. Evans,

I will visit your house on July 2nd at 5:00 P.M.

Yours Sincerely,

Deputy Headmistress,

Minerva McGonagall

Today was only the 22nd June.

"Well, that's very interesting. Umm…I really should be going to pick up Tuney soon; coming Lily?" Her father asked after reading the letter. Lily, realizing that the longer she kept this from her sister the better, responded, "Umm…I think I'll stay here."

As her father left to pick up her sister from Maria Duner's house, a very spoiled, mean girl who bit the heads off of dolls, Lily quietly sat on her bed reading the supply list. Her mother came over and sat behind her and started gently stroking her hair.

"Don't worry. Your father is just shocked is all."

"It's not him I'm worried about."

"She'll except it. Don't worry honey."

"How do you know?"

"You should get some sleep honey. You've had a long day.

Lily, deciding that she should not press the matter any further, said goodnight and got ready for bed.

She had a dreamless sleep that night.

A/N: Please R and R! Tell me if you think I should continue or not!
