OK, this I my first ever fan fiction of Harry Potter, so fingers-cross and
I hope this is good. I would really really appreciate it if you could read
and Review. This will then certainly encourage me to go on until probably
the 7th year of Lily and James at Hogwarts or even better until they have
Harry. I need some opinions of my story. Thanks.
Summary: this is just the prologue of this series I'm going to continue to write. Ok, it's about hate/friendship/romance. This chapter is just about how Lily found out she's is a Witch and how things turned out for her.
BUT PLEASE READ ON AND STAY TUNE BECAUSE THE NEXT CHAPTER IS GOING TO BE OUT VERY SHORTLY.

'Lily! Hurry up, we don't want dad to be late for work!' petunia shouted from down stairs. Mr. Evans was going to drop Lily, Petunia and Mrs. Evans at the shopping mall before he went to work.
'Yeah, I'm coming!' Lily Evan shouted back.
'Morning hun, there's some eggs n the pan,' said Mr Evans
'Morning mum, morning dad' Lily said happily. It's her birthday in 2 days.
The Evans family was a fairly normal. Mr. Evans gave the family what they needed and more. Lily was turning 11, Petunia was already 13. Lily and Petunia got along most of the time. Sometimes Petunia gets jealous and annoyed of Lily. Lily was a very intelligent, strong-willed, determined girl. She was also quite popular at school. She had brownish long smooth hair, smooth tanned skin, a slim figure and outstanding Emerald green eyes, very pretty. Most of the boys liked her. Even though she's 'what every girl wants', she's not a snob or something you would expect popular girls to be. In fact she's actually friendly and cheerful to most people. Her sister Petunia on the other hand, wasn't as pretty as her; she had a straight body shape, a bit too skinny, shoulder length blond hair. She's quite smart though not as smart as Lily or as popular either. But to everyone's surprising they still got along MOST of the time.
'So what are you gonna get for your birthday?' Petunia asked after Mr Evans dropped them off.
'Umm. I don't know yet. Maybe a pair of jeans and a nice matching top. Oh, like that one there!' Lily answered as she pointed to an orange tight top, 'mum! Can I get that top? Please?' pleaded Lily.
'Oh try it on before you decide Lily,' Mrs. Evans advised.
'Hey! Lil! Look at that pair of jeans! It'd fit perfectly with your top!' Petunia said excitedly as she pointed to the shop next door.
Lily tried on both the jeans and top, it matched perfectly! After two hours of shopping, they took the bus back home. But one thing she didn't know was that in a few days, her life would change forever.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
2 days later, ' Happy Birthday sweaty,' said Mr Evans as he handed Lily a present and hugged her.
'Wow, my own MD player!' exclaimed Lily, 'thanks mum, thanks dad,' as she kissed them on the cheeks. Just then she saw an owl drop an envelope in front of her house.
'I'll get it,' Lily said as she darted for the door. As she got the mail, she skimmed though them. Bills, bills, postcard from Aunt Susan and hey! A letter for me!
Miss. Lily Evans
16 Nash Avenue
Willows Creek Newcastle
They were written in emerald green ink. On the back of the envelope was a crest. There was a lion, serpent, raven and another animal she couldn't quite identify. She was very curious as she opened the envelope.
'What's that?' asked Petunia curiously as she bit into her toast
'That's what I'm gonna find out,' answered Lily firmly. Then suddenly she gasped at the letter.
'What's wrong dear?' asked Mrs. Evans, as Lily reads out the letter.
Dear Miss Lily Evans, I have the pleasure to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School Witch Craft and Wizardry. Term starts on the 1st of September. Please send word before the 20th of August. Thank you.
Attached to this letter is a list of thing you'll need as a first year and your train ticket to Hogwarts. I would also like to remind you that first years are NOT to have their own broomstick. An instruction of how to get into Diagon Alley is also attached here.
In central London there is a Pub called The Leaky Cauldron, go in there and ask Mr. Markwell, the bartender, how to get into Diagon Alley.
Yours sincerely, Professor Elwood Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts School Of Witch Craft And Wizardry.
'Is this some kind of joke?' asked Lily, with an astonished face like every other family member.
'It has to be, there's no such THING as witchcraft and all that is there??' Petunia asked in a trembling voice.
'Pass me that mail please dear,' asked Mrs. Evans. Then she skimmed through the letter, then continued, ' well I guess there's no harm going to this Leaky Cauldron place. And this letter does sound rather convincing.'
'Really? That's great! Can we go tomorrow? Because the day I have to go to Hogwarts is in 2 weeks'
'Ok then. I have to pick up some things for my boss anyway,' Mr. Evans chipped in.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next Morning, they went down to central London. The Leaky Cauldron was a small place from the looks of it from outside, you wouldn't even notice it if you weren't trying to find it. The Evans went into the pub and found the people (or you might call witch and wizards) wearing robes and pointed hats. They looked for Mr. Markwell.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Markwell?" Mr. Evans asked the bartender
"I certainly am sir. What can I do for you?" he asked
"Our daughter here, she's received a letter stating she has been accepted into Hogwarts - " before Mr. Evans could finish, Mr. Markswell broke in.
"Well! Congratulations young lady!" Mr. Markwell beamed at Lily.
'So it's real? There's actually a school that teaches magic?' asked Lily excitedly at the same time in awe.
'Well of course, if you didn't know that, I would take that you're a muggle,' said Mr. Markswell
'What's a muggle?' Petunia asked curiously.
'Oh muggles are non-magical folks, that's what we witch and wizards call ye,' Mr. Markswell replied absent-mindedly.
'I never thought magic actually existed in this world and I'm going to be a witch?!' Lily exclaimed, 'I thought magic were all just fantasy stories.'
'Now now, settle down Lily. Mr. Markswell would you kindly show us how to get into Diagon Alley?' asked Mrs. Evans.
'Oh, yes, yes, of course. Please follow me everyone.'
When he reached what appeared to the back of the pub and a flat wall facing them, Mr. Markswell did a couple of tapes on the wall using his wand. Then suddenly the wall turned into a road leading into alley full of witches, wizards and other beings Lily was unable to identify. The Evans were so fascinated to see so many witch and wizards and still couldn't believe what they were seeing.
'Well here's where I'll leave you. Happy shopping. Oh one piece of advice, I think the first thing you should do is go to Gringotts wizard bank to change your muggle money in to wizard money. In the bank you can get a map of Diagon Alley, it'll help you find your way around,' Mr. Markswell said and fare-welled them.
'Thank you very much,' Mr. Evans replied appreciatively.
'My pleasure,' he smiled and walked away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
First they went to Gringotts Wizard's Bank and followed what Mr. Markswell told them to do. The first shop they went was Florish and Botts Book Shop. There Lily met a girl called Nikki Harper. She had wavy golden brown hair tied in a ponytail. She was as tall as Lily and rather pretty too.
'Hi, Nikki Harper here,' she introduced herself as she put her hand out and gave a warm smile.
'Hi, Lily Evans,' Lily replied as she shocked her hand with an equally warm smile.
'First year too?' Nikki asked, Lily nodded, 'I heard from my brother that before you got sorted into houses you had to explain why you wanted to be in a certain house. My brother's in his second year. Did your parents tell you anything about the sorting?'
'Sorry, I'm totally new to this magic world. I'm a muggle. I just found out I'm a witch yesterday,' Lily replied uncertainly.
'Wow, it must have been a shock to you and your family when you found out,' Nikki said.
'Yeah, we did, and yesterday was my birthday, so my parents are going to get me something special, a magical thing that is,' Lily replied.
'Happy Birthday! Ask your parents to get you an owl as you pet. It's a very popular pet these days. They also help their owners deliver mails and - ' Nikki was cut off when someone called her.
'Nikki? We have to go now,' a woman called out to her from the counter.
'Coming mum, I got to go it's been great meeting you. Maybe I'll see you on the train,' Nikki said and with a quick wave she hurried to her mother.
'Nice meeting you too, hope to see you on the train, Bye,' Lily replied. That was a good start to the magical world she thought. Nikki's a very nice girl; I really hope I do see her again
'There you are dear, we've got all the books. Now lets go get your wand, robes and things,' Mrs. Evans said
'Where's dad?' asked Lily
'Oh, he's down at the Ale House, a pub down the read, he seems to be enjoying himself,' replied Mrs. Evans contently.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'Mum! Dad! Hurry up, we're going to be late!' Lily shouted up to her parents. She was pacing up and down the hallway ready to go.
'So you excited Lily?' asked Petunia sitting on the couch. 'Hell Yeah, I still can't believe this!' Lily replied, 'it's gonna be so AWESOME!!!'
And Lily was right too, there's going to adventures, romance and lots more waiting for her at Hog warts!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ok so what do you think? I hope I've done OK. Please review and stay tune.
Thankz heaps.
