G'day fellow H.P fanatics! Tsunami and Volcano here with their very first fic-ever! *A moment of silence to commemorate this* so with that in mind, please review! Constructive criticism please peoples, constructive criticism. We are only two 13yr olds with extremely high sugar levels after all!

Life, laughs and chaos incarnate.

Chapter 1- "And so it begins…"- By Tsunami (otherwise known as Tsu)

  The old, derelict manor stood on the hill overlooking the village like a witch staring with evil eyes, observing the coming and goings of the villagers. The hooded figure making his way to the house, however did not seem to notice. He swept silently through the overgrown foliage and dead leaves, making his way to the house and then up to the topmost room. There he waited without removing his hood and paced in a swift and silent manner. Like that he stayed for about an hour, pausing every few minutes to finger pictures and ornaments on the mantelpiece of the fireplace and to crush them into dust, smirking invisibly in the folds of his hood. The man stopped abruptly as another man in a hooded cloak entered. He had a skull with a snake protruding from its mouth embroidered on his sleeve, a skull soon to be known as the dark mark.

  "We are ready my lord" the new man whispered, the soft voices of many men in the room below floating through the open door.

  The 'lord' straightened, his red eyes gleaming in the dark of his hood. He proclaimed in a deadly whisper;

   "And so it begins…"

                      *  *  *  *  *

  Lily Evans was in trouble again. Just because there was a frog in her sister's closet that scared the hell out of her sister. She didn't do it anyway; if she were going to pull a prank like that she would put the frog in her sister's bed. That way her sister got seriously scared. She pointed this out to her parents.

  It didn't help.

  Daniel Evans, Lily's dad, swelled like a bullfrog and contorted his normally pleasant face into one that resembled a constipated baby (Lily always wondered how he managed to do that).

  As Lily tried unsuccessfully to look serious while trying not to laugh, she spotted her sister's smirking face.

Cow. Dog. Ass…

"Lily Evans" Her dad's deadly voice brought her back to earth. ' How dare you… your poor unsuspecting sister (yeah right)… GO your to room now!" Lily mouthed the words along with her dad and stamped up to her room. She stared into the mirror and scowled at her reflection. A scruffy looking girl of 11 stared back at her. She was petite and short with brilliant green eyes and tangled, dark red hair which was nothing compared to her temper.   "What are you staring at," snapped at her reflection bad temperedly. She flopped onto her unmade bed and sighed into the pillows.   Life isn't fair.                      * * * * * *   The Evans family was much more pleasant at breakfast. Well, as pleasant as they could get with bickering sisters. Mr Evans sighed and read his paper over the insults. He never meant to get so angry but Petunia was… spoiled. Lily's bad temper didn't help, but she was special somehow.

   "Drop the food Lily," he said from under his paper, a second before Lily lobbed some egg onto her sister's smirking face.

  "Sorry dad" Lily replied.

   "Well, that's a first," Petunia proclaimed maliciously.

      "Dog-face"

      "Cow"

      "Lobster breath"

      "Air-head"

     "Pig"                   

     "Fish-face"

     "Nob-job"

     "Witch"

     "Thankyou"

  Lily never told anyone this, but if she concentrated really hard, she could do things. She wished really hard that her teacher's stupid test would disappear once, and it did.

  Petunia, furious at her sister's smile, struggled for a comeback.

     "Umm… err… Midg-Ahhh!" Petunia ran like a woman possessed from the room amid Lily's hysterical laughter, the object of Petunia's fright on the table.

     An Owl.

Lily stopped laughing long enough to see a letter on the table. For her.

     "Lily, what is it?" Lily's mum, Sandy, asked before her husband blew up.

Lily's emerald eyes widened as she read.

  "It's a letter from this school for witches and wizards called Hogwarts. They want me to go to their school," Lily held her breath, waiting for her parents reaction.

Chapter 2- Lily's Luck-By the Volcano

  "Hang on a minute, give me that letter," said Mr. Evans sternly with an unapproving look. "You know what I think of these silly commercial ads, they're just a waste of time. A witch and wizard school indeed," "Dad it's not an ad, it's a school for wizards and witches, and I   was chosen to go!"

  Lily sighed knowing she would never get anything unless she begged. Not only beg but also beg really, really, hard. Here goes, she thought.

  "Oh please can I go? Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, Oh please Oh…"

  " ENOUGH!!! NO WAY IN THIS WORLD AM I LETTING MY DAUGHTER GO TO A ….UM…. EH…A STUPID, NO GOOD SCHOOL TO LEARN HOW TO TURN A HUMAN INTO A FROG. NO WAY, YOU WOULD THINK I WAS CRAZY TO LET YOU GO NO WAY IN THIS WORLD WOULD I, MR DANIEL EVANS…" With her father's angry voice still ringing in her ears, Lily stormed of to her room and slammed the door as hard as she could, only to find the windows rattling from her dads voice raising even more about the cost of doors and how much she didn't appreciate anything.

  Her dad would go on like he always did. It was true life got worse every minute, and having Petunia the pig as a sister was the worst thing that ever happened to her, the worst thing that ever happened to the world.

"Aaaaaaah, mmmmuuuuuummmmy! HELP ME! SAVE ME."

  Lily got of her bed wondering what her sister was screaming about now. She pressed her ears against the door and listened. If Petunia was in pain, she might as well get out and watch her suffer.

  "LILY EVANS GET OUT OF YOUR ROOM THIS INSTANT

OR ELSE I'LL GET UP THERE AND GET YOU! I'M WARNING YOU.."

   What the hell did I do now? Lily thought.

   "OH MY GOSH, WHAT, HOW, WHERE, WHO? OUCH! WHERE THE HECK DID ALL THESE OWLS COME FROM! " stuttered Lily while swatting away a particularly violent owl, which seemed angry at her for stepping on its tail feathers. Swarmed all over the kitchen and dining table were millions of owls all holding in their beaks an identical Hogwarts letter!

   Mr. Evans tried his best to stay calm, but his face was getting that dangerous look again. "You're asking me huh, your asking me,"

 He tried to keep his voice down, but his face was white.

 "Now you can give me an explanation as to how these owls into the house. Not only did they come from the window but politely through the door. Lily, there had better be a VERY good explanation for this because I am just about ready to ground someone, namely you, for two months! TALK!"

  Lily stood aghast not knowing what to say. Well, she did not ask all these owls in to come in. Anyhow, she could try and tell her parents that but she doubted they would believe her, they never did.

  She tried the most stupid decision of them all. 

Lily said, "Excuse me but could you please kind of, um..go away?" speaking loud enough for all the owls to hear over the scratching of talons and hooting.

  Magically, the first one closest to the door moved out, then the next and next until all of them had gone. (Except for one, who was finishing of Lily's breakfast, which half of ended up on Petunia's head).

  Mrs. Evans looked amazed.

 "Daniel, why don't you give Lily a chance? I mean I think that maybe she would be better off at…um …Hogwarts."

  (A tiny bit of hope leapt in Lily's heart).

  Daniel Evans looked at his wife in amazement. She was right though; maybe Lily would be happier at this 'Hogwarts' school. Anyway, anything that would shut Lily up. She was presently whimpering like a dog and giving him puppy eyes.

  "OK maybe she would get some better marks and I wont have to put up with her and her sister fighting all the time. And no more appointments at the Psychiatrist for sure. Maybe now we'll get some peace and quiet. Fine, all right darling."

 "YES! YES, YES, YES, YES" Lily screamed, punching the air triumphantly. She danced around the and even did something she would never do in her normal state, hug Petunia.

  "OK, just because dad said you could go to that pathetic school for pathetic creeps like you doesn't mean I'll like you or feel jealous. I always knew you were a witch, and… Yowwwowwww ...Mummmmy Lily hurt me Ouch "

"LILY"           

  But Lily didn't care any more. She was finally free! She didn't have to live in this stupid hellhole any more! Of course, she was really upset at leaving her parents and even Petunia a tiny little bit. But she always knew she didn't belong here, and now she had a chance to start again with different people, who probably felt just as different as she did.

  Lily practically danced all the way up to her room and flopped down onto the bed, missing out on an interesting rant from her father about the cost of dining tables and cleaning up owl poo.

  Life is finally heading my way.

 

So, what'd ya think? Good? Bad? Absolutely horrible? (but you guys wouldn't write that to us? Well, with the exception of Bigfoot and the Yeti…) Anywayz, how will we know if you don't tell us?? Hint, Hint REVIEW- please?
