Lily Evans: Her Story
Lily Evans did not look like a normal girl. She had red hair, green eyes, and just happened to look very pretty. And, as she found out in July of 1965, she was not a normal girl, either. That was the day that she recieved a letter from a school that read:
Dear Miss Evans,
You have been accepted into Hogwarts school for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is your book list, and a ticket for platform nine and three quarters.(couldn't find a key for fractions) Term starts on Sept. 1 and we hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress
Lily showed her mother the letter, and started jumping around for joy. Her mother said "Hmm, I suppose we can go get your robes tomorrow, or the next day.
The next day, they went to Charring Cross Road, and looked for a place called the Leaky Cauldron.
When Lily saw it, she shrieked, "There it is!" and ran towards it. Her mother (she's a muggle, remember) said "Where? I don't see a thing." "Here!" Lily cried. She pulled her mother inside, and asked Tom, the barman, how to get to Diagon Alley. He said " Here, I will show y'all to it." And he took them out back, and tapped on the brick that was three up and two across, and suddenly, an archway grew in front of them. They stepped through it, and Tom said "You'll need to exchange your money at Gringotts, the big white building, before you shop. Have a good day then, ladies." And he left, leaving them all on their own.
After they had exchanged their money, they went to Madame Malkins Robe Shop. Lily walked inside, and saw a boy who was getting his robes fitted, with his mother. She walked in, and Madame Malkin said "Step up onto this stool, and we will measure you.
Lily stepped up, and said " Hello, I'm Lily Evans, who are you?" to the boy.
He said "James Potter, pleased to meet you.
She said, "Going to Hogwarts too, I suppose?"
"Why of coarse I am." he replied. "Are you going to be a first year too?"
"Yes." she replied.
"I hope I get into Gryffindor, it sounds like the best." he said.
"Gryffindor? Whats that?" she asked.
He said "Oh, you must be muggle born, it is one of the houses. The names are Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor. Slytherin people are evil, and Hufflepuffs are supposed to be really stupid, and Ravenclaws are really smart, and Gryffindors are brave."
Then she asked, "What are muggles?"
"Non magical peoples" he replied.
"There's you done, my dears" said Madame Malkin.
They left the store together, and went to the bookshop for the books that they needed. After that, they went to get their wands. This was what Lily had been waiting for. She wanted to see some magic.
When they stepped inside Ollivanders, Mr. Ollivander said "Mr. Potter and Miss Evans, I hae been expecting you. Please step onto these stools, and tell me, which is your wand arm?"
"Left." they replied together, and when they realized what they had done, they started laughing. After they had been measured, Mr. Ollivander went to get some wands for them to try. He came back with about 20 wands in each hand, and told them to wave them around, in turn. Lily had tried what seemed like millions of wands, when, finally Mr. Ollivander gave her one that was ten and a quarter inches long, and was swishy, and made of willow, and was good for charm work. James got a wand that was mahogany, eleven inches, pliable, and powerful, and good for transfiguration. They paid, and walked out side, and bumped into someone who was......
