Chapter 1: The letter

It was a bright sunny day in the middle of August and Lily Evans was sitting in the living room reading her favorite book, Pure Dead Magic by Debi Gliori. Lily Evans was of average height. She had long dark red hair and emerald green eyes. She had just gotten to the best part of the book, when there was a scream from the kitchen. Lily sighed, threw down the book and went to see what the commotion was. Her sister Petunia was starring and pointing at a large tawny owl. Lily rolled her eyes and walked over to the window, she meant to open it and scare the owl away so she could get back to her book but the owl had other ideas. As soon as the window was open, it flew in and sat on the back of a chair. Petunia screamed once again and ran out of the room. That was when Lily noticed the canary yellow letter tied to the owl's leg. When the letter was in her hands, the owl flew out of the open window and out of sight. Lily carefully opened the letter and read it. She could not believe it! She was accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and according to the letter, the best wizarding school in the country! She ran up to her parents room where her mother was putting her one-year-old sister, Daisy, to sleep.

"Mum!" Lily cried. "You'll never guess what!"

"You caught the house on fire again." Lily's mother said.

"No! Don't start that again!" Lily sighed.

"Then what is it dear? Can't it wait till the baby is a sleep?" Her mother asked laying Daisy down in the crib. Daisy burbled happily.

"No!" Lily said again. She handed her mother the letter. She watched as her mother's eyes grew wide.

"I'm so proud of you Lillian!" Her mother cried hugging her daughter. "We'll go to Diagonally tomorrow."

James Potter was building an exploding snap castle, he had one card left to go when his father walked in startling James. The castle exploded, burning his eyebrows off. James Potter was tall for his age. He had messy black hair, just like his father and hazel eyes like his mother. He lived in a large house with four house elves and his parent worked for the ministry so they were quite wealthy.

"That's a good look for you James." His father said chuckling. James scowled at his father. "Your Hogwarts letter just came in." He said handing James a yellow envelope. He quickly tore it open. As he read the letter he began to grin. James was very excited. He had been waiting for months for his Hogwarts letter. Now it was finally here. "I'll take you to Diagonally tomorrow."

"Can we take Sirius?" James asked. Sirius was James' best friend.

"Sure. Write to him. He can flew over around 10." And with that James' father left. James quickly jotted down a note to Sirius and sent the owl on its way.

Sirius Black was tall for his age, he had long black hair, that his mother disapproved of, and gray eyes. He disliked almost all of his family and their background.

"Sirius Black! Have you seen your sister any where?" a harsh female voice called up the stairs.

"I'm over here mother!" Sirius' younger sister walked into Sirius room. "Our letters are here." She said. Sirius smiled. His twin sister Elizabeth was the only person in his family that he loved. Elizabeth was short, she had waist length raven black hair and bottle green eyes.

"Thanks Lizzy" Sirius said.

"Elizabeth!" the harsh voice called again.

"Coming mother!" Elizabeth called. "I better go before she gets to mad." Sirius nodded and Elizabeth picked up her skirt and walked out of the room. A few minutes later there was a tap on the window, the source, he recognized as James' owl. Sirius opened the window to untie the letter. It read,

Sirius, Dad is taking me to Diagonally tomorrow and I was wondering if you could come.

James

Sirius smiled. His parents were taking Elizabeth tomorrow but they had no intention in bringing Sirius along. Sirius quickly jotted down a reply and retied the letter to the owl's leg.

"Sirius, it's tea time." His younger brother, Romulas, poked his head into Sirius' room. He sighed and went to join his parents.

Remus Lupin yawned. He had been up late last night reading a book he had gotten from the library. Remus Lupin was average height, with sandy blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes. He yawned again before getting up and going to the kitchen for breakfast. Like always Remus made his own breakfast, scrambled eggs and toast. But sense he was so tired Remus undercooked the eggs and burnt the toast. He even forgot to make the coffee for his parents who sleep in every morning due to being out late for work every night. Remus yawned and sat down to eat his breakfast.

Around noon Remus was fast a sleep on the sofa, a book in his hands. An owl flew and perched on the back of the sofa. It hooted loudly, startling Remus awake. When he saw the yellow envelope he smiled. Remus had been waiting a while to get his letter. His parents kept going on and on about how great Hogwarts was and how they hoped he would be accepted. After a while Remus began to wonder if he was ever going to be accepted. The owl gave another loud hoot. Remus smiled and untied the letter from the owl, which promptly flew away. Reading the letter Remus fell back asleep.

Peter Petigrew (A/n: I hope I spelt that right.) was hiding from his older twin sister, Pamela. Pamela loved to pick on Peter, it was what she would do when she was board. Peter was a scrawny boy, with mousy blonde hair and watery blue eyes while his sister was of average height and had shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes.

"Peter! Pamela! Your Hogwarts letters are here!" Their mother called. Peter quick ran down to where his mother was hopping to beat his sister to the letters but Pamela was already there with both of the letters.

"Reach Peter!" Pamela said holding the letter above her head.

"Now Pamela, give your brother his letter." Their mother scolded. Pamela scowled but did as she was told.

"I'll take you two to Diagonally tomorrow." Their mother said
