Today Lily is going out with her mean friend from down the road. She's just a muggle. Just a muggle, how dare he dismiss me so easily?

What's so good about being magical ... Everything, everything is good about being a witch. If I was one Lily would respect me and look to me for guidance. I am a useless big sister without it. How can she love me?

I walk into Lily's room and I sit on down the edge of her bed, I start to remember when we played so late into the night. When was the last time we shared a late snack of chocolate and milk.

I get distracted by a lump in her bed. I try not to laugh, she still reads late into the night. I flip the covers to see what she is reading. I cringe, her favourites have changed. I pick up the book and notice it's about charms.

I sigh, If I had magic I wouldn't be left out. She wouldn't need that friendship of that mean boy. I flip through the book and read about a spell that makes objects levitate. Witches can move things like that demon did in that movie, satanic. Are Lily's powers from hell?

No, I am just being silly. Hell and heaven don't exist. Just like witches aren't meant to exist, yet they do. No one believes in witches. I'll be put in a mental hospital if I spoke to anyone, I am alone. Mum and dad love Lily, they do everything for her and she is seen as perfect.

Wingardium Leviosa. It's part Latin. I struggle to think what it means. Finally I remember Levo means rise, so that explains to lift the object. I even know how this spell is pronounced, I would have been good at this.

I lift my hand and move it as instructed.

"Wingardium Leviosa."

I whisper this, hoping in vain.

My eyes widen in shock, the teddy bear I had pointed to lifted off the bed and floated. I gasp.

I hear a low chuckle, a shiver runs down my spine. I whip my head in the direction of the noise. Leaning against the door frame was that horrible boy with his wand pointed at the bear. I hear the bear drop behind me as he lowered his wand.

"Did you really think that was you?" Asks Severus, mockingly.

I stand to show that I am not afraid of him. He isn't taller than me yet so I hope to make him feel smaller.

"How dare you"

I say this in deadly calm. I can't lose my temper, for he never does. He uses calm charming words to disarm. He smirks. That face is so horrible it gives me the urge to punch it. I am civilised, I won't resort to violence.

"You Petunia are not civilised," Says Severus coldly, still leaning on the door frame like he owns the world.

"Perhaps someday I will," Mumbles Severus.

I am confused, "Will what?"

"Own the world," Replies Severus calmly.

"You can read minds," I say, shocked.

"You're hardly making it difficult for me. It must be your underdeveloped muggle brain which makes it so eas ...

I looked to my hand in shock, I can't believe I hit him! Serves him right.

"Petunia EVANS!"

I gasp hearing my mums call. I look towards my mum and I am in shock at the anger on her face. I cringe.

"Mum, it wasn't my fault. He was taunting me," I say in reply.

My mum looks at me in pity then she shakes her head.

"Hunny, he didn't say a thing," Replies my mum worriedly.

Mum walks towards me and places her hand on my forehead.

"Are you feeling OK?"

'Are feeling OK?' My mum is implying that I have a problem.

"He is evil. He talks of taking over the world and how my brain is underdeveloped," I sheik in annoyance.

I turn and glare at Severus. He has his hands raised in surrender.

"I haven't said a thing Petunia. I was waiting for Lily. If it makes you feel any better, no foul. I barely felt your hit," Says Severus, all calm and in humour.

"Don't worry Severus, I saw Petunia hit you without cause," Replies mum.

"Tuney is that true, how could you!" Yells Lily. So now Lily shows, it's like Severus knows the right moment to taunt me without getting in trouble.

"He teased me ...

"He didn't say a thing Petunia I saw with my own eyes ...

"Then he used magic on me!" I interrupt mum.

"Tuney don't be mean and accusing because of your envy!" Hisses Lily. She grabs a hold of Severus's hand and starts to pull him down the hall. He has the gall to wink at me before he turns.

If I had magic his tricks wouldn't work. He wouldn't get to me, or Lily.

"How can you be on his side, I am your daughter too," I shout to mum then ran to my room in a rage
