Chapter 1 - The Letter
"Beep! Beep! Beep!", the alarm clock, in Lily Evans' room on number 8, Halley Ave blared. It was seven o'clock in the morning, when the red-head got out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom before collapsing again on the closed toilet seat. However early Lily woke up at school and however organised she was, Lily Evans always found it hard to even open her eyelids in the morning during the holidays. But she had to be at work in an about two hours, unless she wanted to be fired.
As soon as the sixteen-year-old splashed her face with water after brushing her teeth, she felt awake. Rushing out of the bathroom, she quickly ran into her room before changing into her working robes.
At the start of the holidays, Lily had begun working at Flourish and Blotts, in Diagon Alley. It was a way of escaping Petunia's moody self or Severus, who usually wandered around the neighbour-hood. It also didn't let her forget that there was magic somewhere or that Hogwarts wasn't just a dream and it actually existed along with the rest of the wizarding world.
Her best-friends had both also taken jobs at Diagon Alley for the Summer. There was Marlene McKinnon, who was working at Quality Quidditch Supplies and then there was Alice Spinnet, who had taken up a job at Eeylope's Owl Emporium.
While, Lily was munching on her toast and quickly skimming over the front of the Daily Prophet, which surprisingly had almost nothing about Voldemort, a brown owl swooped in and sat before her.
Petunia, who was occupying the seat in front of Lily gave a small yelp at the sight of the owl, before running out to finish her breakfast in the kitchen.
"Stupid, jealous idiot…", Lily muttered under breath. Sadly, it was true. Ever since Lily had received her first Hogwarts letter, Petunia had been completely horrible to Lily and avoided her as much as she could.
Trying to forget her sister's disastrous behaviour, Lily tuned to the letter and recognised it as a Hogwarts's letter from the school crest at the front. The letter wasn't supposed to arrive for another two days, perhaps it was something about prefect duty.
As she opened the thick envelope, instead of getting the parchment first, her hands encircled around a large square, piece of cold metal. Pulling it out, Lily thought it was another prefect badge, when the letters HG shone clear as day on the badge.
"MUM! DAD!", Lily shrieked with joy so loudly, anyone would jump to the conclusion that she was being attacked or something.
Her parents came bursting into the room. Jarred Evans wearily eyed his daughter from the kitchen entrance before slowly making his way to take a seat at the table.
"You almost gave me heart attack Lilykins", her father remarked.
"We thought you were being attacked!", yelled Rose Evans at her daughter. She was still in her night-gown and was a funny sight, Lily couldn't help but laugh, causing the adults to smile back in return.
"So why were you yelling, freak!", said a distraught Petunia from the other entrance of the kitchen.
"Like you would care, where were you anyway?", Lily questioned her sister.
"Now, now girls, so, what was the matter Lils?", Rose asked her daughter, while trying to lighten the mood between the mood between the siblings.
Without saying anything, Lily handed her mother the badge and her father the parchment. Jarred stared at the writing on the page for a while before breaking into a grin. Rose Evans just stared back and forth between the badge and her daughter before embracing her daughter. No one seemed to notice that Petunia had already left the room.
"Congratulations, sweetheart!", her parents both said.
"Dad, I'm too excited and shocked to read any of it, can you tell me who will be head boy with me?", Lily finally managed to say from the bear hug from her mother.
"It's some boy named James Potter, is he by any chance related to the Potter boy your always mention?", Jarred asked his daughter.
Before anyone could do or say anything, the room started spinning, before everything blacked out and Lily Evans fainted.
