Ok, on to the story
Chapter 1: The Letter and the Train (A/N – I'm not good at titles)
"Yes!" Lily yelled, punching the air in excitement. "Mum, they were right, I did get into Hogwarts!" (A/N – I've decided that the Ministry of Magic contacts muggles with magic potential.) Then, to her surprise, her sister Petunia called out that she had too. (A/N – I know they aren't the same age and that Petunia is a complete muggle, but this is MY story, got it? And no, they are NOT twins, and yes that IS possible.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mr. And Mrs. Evans brought their children to Kings Cross Station to catch the Hogwarts Express. Luckily for them, unlike some other people they saw looking between platforms 9 and 10, they had been in contact with some wizard families over the past few weeks, and knew how to get onto Platform 9 ¾. After they had gone onto the platform, Lily and Petunia hugged their parents goodbye and boarded the train, finding an empty carriage to travel in so they wouldn't be embarrassed by their lack of magical knowledge.
Unfortunately, soon before the train left, a group of boys about their age climbed aboard and sat down chatting. After a moment they noticed the girls, and the tallest, who had messy black hair, but was still pretty good- looking, jumped to his feet. And fell over as the train started to move, causing the other 3 boys to break into fits of laughter. Re-seating himself, he looked up with an embarrassed grin and introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm James Potter, and these are my friends Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew," he said, pointing at them as he spoke.
"I'm Lily Evans, and this is my sister Petunia," replied Lily shyly. "Is this your first year at Hogwarts too?"
"Yep!" grinned the boy they now knew was Sirius. "We want to be sorted into Gryffindor House, what about you?"
"Well, we don't know a lot about it, but we DON'T want to be in Slytherin," declared Lily, warming up to the boys. That James person was especially cute.
"Well, what do you want to know?" chorused the boys, eager to impress a pair of attractive girls
As the train traveled across the countryside, Lily and Petunia listened to the 4 boys instruct them on everything imaginable. Both were starting to like the boys, especially James. All too soon it was time too change and hop off the train, right in the middle of Sirius' explanation of what to use a levitating charm for - to lift someone's blanket off them in the middle of the night.
After they crossed the lake, the new first years waited in the Entrance Hall while Professor McGonagall, who taught Transfiguration, explained the Sorting Ceremony.
Then they marched into the Great Hall to be Sorted.

A/N – Well, that's it for now, I'll write more if I get enough reviews. If you like it, then review and tell me. If you don't like it, then review and tell me what's wrong with it. If you have a burning desire to flame (LOL, I didn't notice that 'til after I wrote this), then do it, but I won't take any notice of them.
