Disclaimer: I don't own any characters you don't recognize.

"LILY! Get up! It's almost time to leave!" came the booming voice of Roger Evans, Lily Evans father.
"OHMIGOSH!" screamed Lily jumping up from her bed. It was today! But it wasn't just any day. Today was the day she'd be attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lily ran to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Then she changed into her favorite outfit, her emerald green glittery shirt that matched her eyes perfectly and a pair of snug white jeans. She decided on putting her hair up in a French braid and then went over to her full length mirror to look herself over once more. Lily was very pretty and sophisticated looking for an 11 year old. She had long, golden red hair that reached the middle of her back, and sparkling emerald green eyes. She was petite, just the right size for her age. Lily sighed. 'I wonder how I'm gonna fit in over there,' Lily thought. Finding out that she was a witch was probably the most shocking thing that has ever happened to her. At first, she had thought it was all some silly prank. It was just so unreal! But then a guy who introduced himself as Mundungus Flecher (sp?) came to pick them up and take them to this small place called Diagon Alley and ever since she came back, she was not only reassured that magic was real, she couldn't wait to try it on her own.
"LILY! IF YOUR GONNA GO TO THAT FREAK PLACE OF YOURS MOM AND DAD ARE WAITING YOU KNOW!" yelled Lily's 14 year old sister Petunia. Lily sighed and started downstairs. Ever since Lily got her letter from Hogwarts, Petunia wouldn't speak to her except, of course, to insult her.
Lily's parents were downstairs beaming at her.
"Ready for your big day, honey?" whispered her mom giving her a big kiss.
"Yeah," Lily whispered back nervously.
"Well lets be on our way then," said her dad cheerfully. "OY! Petunia! Stay here till we come back!" he continued.
"No way!" she said coming into the room. " I'm going out with Vernon. I'll be back late.
"Really Petunia, you should be more like Lily. She'd LISTEN when I told her to do something," retorted her father glaring furiously at Petunia who just rolled her eyes.
"C'mon dad we better go," said Lily starting out the door. "Bye Petunia!" she said cheerfully.
"Bye Freak," muttered Petunia.
They were on there way.
**************************************************************************** ********************************
"Um, LILY?" asked her father for about the 10th time. Lily was of in her dream land again.
"Hmmm, Dad?" She said snapping out of it.
"How do you get on the platform Lily?" asked her father gently.
"Oh YEAH! Sorry dad I didn't even think about that till now." All of a sudden horrible thoughts filled her head.
"Dad I'm not so sure about this. I mean, what if it was all a mistake? What if I'm not a witch and they have to send me home? What if I do badly in my classes? What if I don't make friends? What if........?"
"Now Lily everything's going to be fine. We have to go now but I'm sure you'll find platform 9 and ¾ pretty soon."said her dad cutting her off.
"Be good and send us lots of letters by...umm... What's your mail again?" said her mom frowning slightly.
Lily had to smile. "Owl Post, Mom." She corrected. "Don't worry, I'll send you guys letters every week."
"Don't let me hear that you blew up a toilet seat at school," said her dad with a mock stern glare.
"Don't worry I'll be a good little girl," laughed Lily.
"Bye dear," said her mom giving her a huge hug and kiss.
" I love you pumpkin," said her dad giving her a bear hug.
"I love you too," said Lily.
Lily waved at them until she couldn't see them anymore.
'Now, where could Platform 9 and ¾ be?' she mused.
After searching for a while she decided to rest her feet. 'Maybe I'll find someone that goes to my school,' With that thought Lily looked around. She spotted a solid barrier in between platforms 9 & 10 and decided to sit there.
"Excuse me, but can you move? Your blocking the way." Came a drawling cold voice. Lily looked up to see two boys standing in front of her. The speaker had cold, steely blue eyes and white blonde hair. His friend had long slimy black hair that looked as if it had never been washed in his life. Lily was just about to tell the second boy that he really needed some shampoo when the blonde haired kid spoke.
" By the way, my names Lucius Malfoy and this is Severus Snape. You did know that you were blocking the way, didn't you?" sneered Malfoy. Lily decided that she hated this boy.
"So sorry, Malfoy, but can you tell me exactly what am I supposed to be blocking," she said sarcastically pointing at the supposedly "solid" wall.
"Your blocking Platform 9 and ¾, duh!" said Snape rolling his eyes.
Lily eyed the barrier suspiciously.
"This is a wall Snape. Not a platform. A WALL." Lily said slowly as if Snape came from Mars.
"So, you're a Mudblood aren't you?" said Malfoy, his eyes glinting. "Well what are we waiting for Severus, lets give her a hand.
Before Lily could yell for help, they gagged her and threw her headfirst into the barrier between platform 9 and ¾. The word blacked out and Lily saw no more.
A/n.. Yeay I fixed it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hurray for meeeee! I no this chapter is short but it'll get better I promise. Since this is my first Fic I'll really appreciate help in making this story better. Just to warn you the story may seem plot less at first but it HAS A PLOT. Review please. Thanks a lot.
