Lily's green eyes sparkled with excitement as she stepped off the Hogwarts Express. She was actually attending a school for magic! Until a few months ago, she had thought magic was only used in fairy tales. She remembered vividly when she first got her letter. An owl's hoot had woken her up that day. The nocturnal bird was right in front of her when she finally opened her eyes! Seeing that she was awake, it dropped a letter and flew away. The letter was addressed to her in green ink. Inside were things that informed her that her dream had just come true. She had raced downstairs, her long red hair flowing behind her.
"Happy Birthday Lily, my dear!" her father greeted her in his usual morning cheerfulness.
But, Lily had forgotten all about her birthday. Unable to contain her excitement, she handed him the letter from the strange school called Hogwarts.
Lily reflected on her happiness, and now she was here, at Hogwarts the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
A voice startled her out of her thoughts. "Firs' years! Over here!"
Lily saw a man, impossibly tall. Maybe there were more curious and strange people like him here at this school...
She got to him through the sea of students. "Everyone here? All righ' then! Come on!" he said, leading them toward a lake.

"Sibyll, would you like some more tea?" Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts asked his new divination professor.
"Oh no, headmaster, but thank you." Sibyll Trelawney said. She leaned over casually out the window, and gave a gasp.
"What is it, Sibyll?" Dumbledore asked.
Looking out the window, he saw a red headed girl step out of a boat. She tripped and bumped into a messy haired boy, knocking them both down. He helped her up again. Dumbledore couldn't see anything wrong with that seen. "What is wrong?" he asked again.
But, Professor Trelawney had gone into a trance. "THEY ARE DOOMED." she said. "THE DARK LORD WILL GET THEM. THEY HAVE POWER. THEY ARE DOOMED."
"Sibyll, are you all right?" Dumbledore asked.
"Oh! My deepest apologies, headmaster. I must have taken a quick nap. Now, shouldn't we be going down to greet the new students?" Professor Trelawney asked, her misty self once again.
Dumbledore shook himself mentally. "Of course," he said, a trace of worry still on his face. He knew who the girl and boy were. The girl was Lily Evans, a muggle, and the boy was James Potter, his family was very well known throughout the magical world. Both were in first year.
Trelawney was looking at him, wondering why he wasn't moving. Suddenly he smiled and they both went down from Trelawney's new classroom, into the Great Hall, where the sorting would begin shortly.
