Chapter 1
Learning Something New
I was an ordinary eleven-year-old girl or so I thought, until a mysterious man came to my house in the middle of July. I ran to the door when I heard the bell ring on Saturday morning, there was a tall man with long white hair and long tangly beard, he wore half moon glasses that sat on his broken nose never in my life had I seen somebody so old, but I thought it would be very rude of my to ask.
'Hello mister, what can I do for you?' I asked inquisitively staring at the weird clothes he was wearing with my head poked around the edge of the door.
'Hello, my name is Albus Dumbledore, might I ask if your parents are at home?' polity asked Dumbledore.
'Yes my mother is, would you like to come inside?' I replied sweetly, when he nodded I open the door to let him in.
'Mum there's a man here to see you' I called, out to my mother, who was making muffins in the kitchen with Petunia, my older sister. Julie Evans (my mother) walked into the entranceway to meet our guest.
'Hello, how may I help you?' asked Julie, as she led Dumbledore into the dinning room where we sat down.
'I'm a Albus Dumbledore, and I am hear to inform you that you draughter Lily has a special Quality, that not very many people have but she has the opportunity to learn about it at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry' informed Dumbledore, I look at him in awe and Mum just looked shocked but not very surprised because I was able to do amazing things that they had no explanation for.
'I guess that's the explanation we've been waiting for, so she's a witch, and she can learn at this school and make friends with people like her?' Asked Julie.
'I must make a few things clear, the magical community is not to be known by those that never need to, we don't want to spread fear in the muggle community, non-magical people.' He added catching my confused look, 'Lily is not to use magic outside of school until she becomes of age at seventeen, we magical folk have only seven years school starting at eleven instead of 12 years starting at six, Lily will also require a few things for school and you will find everything she needs in Diagon Ally, I will show you how to get there tomorrow. This letter has a list of everything she will need and where she needs to be to get the school train. Any questions?' concluded Dumbledore, handing me the letter, I thought about asking if my friend Serverus Snape had got in too, but decided against it.
'With no Questions I must be off, I will be hear tomorrow at ten-thirty to help with collecting you school supplies. See you tomorrow Lily I hope to get to know you better as your headmaster.' Dumbledore left and I ran out of her house, clutching my letter, to tell Serverus what had just happened. I found him staring at a piece of parchment under the large oak tree, that we have had many a conversation under its gargantuan canopy.
'Hi, Sev, Guess what?' I asked excitedly making Snape jump at the sound of my voice, he thought my voice could calm anybody down.
'What happened Lily?' Snape answered.
'He came, I'm in just like you said I'd be, did you get in to Sev?' I said waving the letter under his nose.
'What do you think that is?' pointing to the letter on the ground. We talk excitedly about Hogwarts and the spells and charms we would learn, we talked until I had to go home for dinner but promised that we would sit together on the train together.
I woke up on the September 1st and thought that I was the luckiest girl in the world, for today I'd be starting Hogwarts. I put some last minute things into my trunk and made sure that I had everything I needed and then I put Midnight (the cat I got when I was eight) and the eagle owl my parents had gotten me so I could write home whenever I wished, into their travelling cages, and put them, my trunk and a bag at the front door. I then walked into the kitchen to see my father Jonathan (John) Evans cooking breakfast.
'Daddy?' I whispered
'Princess your up, I hope you didn't think I was going to miss my daughter going away to school till christmas you've got another thing coming missy!' Dad said pulling me into his arms.
'There's nothing I could want more' I replied. Later that day my her sister Petunia and I were settle the back of our car while my father put my things into the trunk of the car. When we got to Kings Cross we were wondering how to get onto the platform, then all of a sudden I hear.
'Come on James this way to platform 9 3/4 didn't want to be late to Hogwarts now do we?' I headed in the direction I heard voice only to see a pretty woman with dark burgundy hair similar to my own and deep blue eyes that simply shone, dragging a small young boy with messy raven hair and the most amazing hazel eyes I had ever seen, they were covered with round glasses that highlighted his eyes.
'Excuse me, we don't know how to get on to the platform.' I asked
'Muggle-born are we?' she waited for me to nod before continuing 'I'm Elizabeth Potter and this is my son James he'll be starting Hogwarts to this year too. Now you just walk straight at the barrier between platforms nine and ten, do a bit of a run if your nervus.' Explained Elizabeth
'Good luck' said James as he sprinted through the barrier 'oh boy, James!' Elizabeth Squealed as she ran after her son. I looked to my parents they were either side of me holding the trolley as I started to run as the wall came closer and closer I braced myself for the impacted that never came. I could hear the chattering of kids as they met up with friends that they haven't seen for months, the hooting of dozens of owls and the screaming of my name in the distance, when I opened my eyes I saw Serverus Snape running towards me, but I just looked away "I thought I told him to leave me alone" I thought angrily, I pushed my trolley towards the train to find a compartment. I dragged my trunk through the train and into a compartment; I was having trouble lifting my trunk on to the luggage rack, when the boy from the platform passed by.
'Need help?' he asked as he walked into the compartment. I nodded shyly as we lifted the trunk.
'There was that so hard?'
'Do you know how much stuff I put in there' I snapped
'Okay, okay, I'm James Potter. You're that muggle-born girl aren't you?' asked James
'Yes, I am, and my name is Lily Evans and you're the boy with the messy hair!' I joked
'Family trait can't help it' Laughed James 'do you mind if I share the compartment with you, so your not alone for the whole train ride, if it's okay with you?' He added as I sat down.
'Yeah why not, not like anybody else is going to join me?' I replied.
