-1Hi, this is my first fanfic so tell me what you think but please be respectful about it.
I own none of the characters that J.K. Rowling made up I only own the characters that are Lily's friends and parents because they were made up in my head.
Chapter One:
It was a hot afternoon in the middle of July when eleven year old Lily Evans received her acceptance letter to Hogwarts. She was already imagining what this school would be like and what kinds of magic she could learn by the time she finished reading the letter. If she went to this school she would be able to stay away from her sister most of the school year, of course she would miss her parents but not having to fight with her annoying older sister was a big plus.
Lily and her older sister Petunia were always fighting it seemed, their parents were always trying to get them to get along but it never worked the sisters were just too different. It would seem that Petunia didn't have much of a reason for disliking her sister it wasn't as though their parents loved Lily more. Petunia was just jealous because to be honest Lily was one of those people who got more beautiful every year.
Lily was a striking person even at a young age, and at the age eleven she had red hair that was slightly wavy that fell just past her shoulder blades and these clear emerald green eyes that seemed to light up whenever she was happy or turn to a dark green if she was sad or mad. She had a creamy and slightly tanned color of skin, she was a hard person to miss. And to go along with all of this Lily was very kind but she had a temper. She wasn't the kind of person to go around and act as though she was better than you because she was beautiful, in fact she acted almost like the exact opposite, she acted as though she didn't even notice her beauty most of the time.
Petunia was the exact opposite of Lily in fact she kind of resembled a horse with brown hair.
Than another part of Lily's brain had to jump in and remind her that if she went to this Hogwarts school she wouldn't be able to take dance lessons at the studio anymore and she had been taking lessons for the past two years and she was really starting to get good. This was another draw back, Lily loved to dance and she wasn't sure she would know what to do with herself if she didn't dance.
'Oh well' Lily thought 'I might as well go talk to mom and dad and see what they think.'
Lily ran out of her bedroom and down the stairs to where her mom and dad were talking in the kitchen.
"Mom, dad, read this" Lily said as she ran into the kitchen and handed them the letter.
When they were done reading they looked at each other and then together they looked at Lily.
" Lily, honey your eleven years old are you sure you want to go to Boarding school?" Lily's dad Jeff said calmly.
"And besides" Lily's mother added " how do we even know that this isn't some kind of a prank?" "And what about dance?" She added as a after thought.
"We don't. I think that we should just try it and find out. C'mon what's the worst thing that could happen?" Lily said. " And besides I am already ahead on my school work in case it doesn't work out. And as for dance I can still practice while I am at school and when I come back in the summer and on the Holidays I can pick the lessons right back up."
"Well if she really wants to try this I think we should let her." Jeff said turning towards Lily's mother.
"Oh alright if you really want to do this." Lily's mother said with a small smile. "Where does it say we have to get your school supplies……"
-------------------------------------
A couple hours later Lily was laying on her bed looking at the sealing. She was happy and nervous and a little sad too, she would be leaving behind a lot but for some reason she felt as though this was the right choice and that she wouldn't regret it.
"Well" she though as she fell asleep "If it doesn't work out I could always come home…"
Well there is the first chapter. Please, please tell me what you think.
Thank you so much to all of you who took the time to read my story.
