You're a wizard Lily:

Authors note:

Special thanks to Cassia4u my first review :-) This next chapters all about Lily finding out about wizards. It's so hard not calling Severus 'Snape', I've had to delete Snape about a million times, and I'm sure I'm going to call him Snape at some point in this story. Hope you enjoy my next chapter, cya.

The next morning I knew what I had to do to clear my confusion. I acted completely normal for the first half of the day, but as soon as Petunia was in her room doing boring homework I slipped into my shoes, and ran outside to find Severus.

The first place I had to look was down by the river (this was because he always had his head in a book down there), and – no surprises – he was down there by the bank reading some old tattered book. I didn't want to disturb him as he looked so peaceful, but I decided I couldn't have this wizard thing playing on my mind for much longer.

He jumped so suddenly when I tapped him on the shoulder I almost fell back into the reeds.

"Oh, hi Lily." He muttered awkwardly.

"Hey Severus, I wanted to apologies for my silly sister, she doesn't seem to like you very much." I realised that was probably one of the most obvious things I could have said.

"Really? I didn't notice!" He smirked. "What did you want, anyway?"

"I just wanted to know what you meant by that whole wizard thingy"

"Oh come on, I thought you weren't as stupid as your sister, now you can't see you have abnormal powers?" I didn't want him thinking I was stupid.

"No, I know exactly what you mean, but, how can I be a wizard? None of my family are"

"You're just a muggle born, there are loads of wizards like you," Something flickered in his face when he said muggle born, it worried me.

"Is being muggle born bad?"

"N no, of course not!" I blew out a sigh of relief.

"So, do I get a magic wand like you do in books?" I had always wanted a magic wand growing up, me and Tuny always played fairies and went round turning people into frogs. Then it hit me. What would Tuny think of me if she found out? She would hate me for even talking to Severus again!

"All wizards get a wand just before they go to Hogwarts, you have to by them from Olivander's wand shop in Diagon Alley."

"Amazing! So how will they know where to send my letter to invite me to Hogwarts?"

"Well, young wizards have a trace, it detects where you are and what spells you do – see when your under eighteen you're not aloud to use magic out of school."

"Oh that's so unfair! I couldn't wait to show Tuny all the new things I'd learnt. As if on cue Tuny came charging down the hill yelling my name.

"LILS? LILS WHERE ARE YOU?" As soon as she saw me with Severus and her face fell. "What on earth are you doing with this slime ball" Severus flinched at the name.

"N-n-nothing Tuny, I just sort of bumped into him that's all"

"This is because of that magic nonsense isn't it? Well I'm telling you it's a load of nonsense, he's a nutter can't you see? Get back in the house now and forget all about it , OK?" Petunia pointed a finger towards our house, and I new I had no choice but to follow.

"See you tomorrow in the park, yeah?" I whispered at Severus and he discreetly nodded back.

Tuny seemed to be ignoring me as a punishment for the rest of the day. I didn't really care because now I knew I was a wizard, and it all made sense! No matter what Tuny says, Severus isn't a nutter, or a freak, he's telling the truth and I believe him.

The next day me and Severus met up in the park and sat on the swings, mindlessly swinging back and forth.

"So, you know Hogwarts? Do we have special magic lessons? Or do we have normal lessons as well?" I asked.

"We don't get taught any of that weird stuff you learn at school. There are special lessons to teach us all about magic. Like Care of magical creatures where we learn to deal with weird animals, or charms where we learn about levitation and stuff like that"

"Awesome! And when is home time? My school starts at nine, and ends at three."

"You stay there all year (except holidays if you want to come home) with the rest of your houses. There are four houses, Gryfindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw,"

"Oh, well at least I can see Tuny on holidays! So which is the best house?"

"Slytherin by far! My whole family are Slytherins,"

"Oh I do hope we're both in Slytherin!" I got worried just in case I was on my own, I would probably never make any friends because I'm normally a boffin and a goody goody two shoes. But what if I was rubbish at wizard school? What if I was really useless?

"Severus?"

"Hm?"

"What will happen if I'm totally rubbish at lessons?"

"Oh you could never be rubbish, you're the smartest person I know!" I blushed a scarlet red.

"But that's in 'Muggle' school, I might be terrible at all of these subjects!"

"I bet you wont, and if you are it doesn't matter, you'll always get better," This slightly calmed my nerves.

At that moment I swung to high and fell right off, horribly grazing my knee, but when I looked down it was gone!

"Told you! You're a natural, I bet you'll be second best in the year, after me of course!" Severus smiled approvingly at me.

I didn't really want to go on the swings so we ran down to the lake and lay on the floor gazing up and the mellow blue sky.

"So, when do I buy all of my wizard things? And what with?"

"You get a letter on your eleventh birthday telling you you're invited to Hogwarts, the you go to Gringotts – the Goblin bank" Goblins! "And get out money to buy them. Of course, as your parents are muggles you can change normal money into knutts, sickles, and galleons. 17 sickles in a galleon, 29 knutts in a sickle, so there are 493 knutts to a galleon."

This was all WAY too confusing for me, I'd never remember".

"You'll get it eventually, you just need time to get used to it, there are loads of muggle borns like you at Hogwarts and they settle in fine," That soothed my nerves.

We stopped talking about wizards and sat laughing around looking at the sky without a care in the world, that was until I realised what time it was.

"Oh no, Tuny will be so mad at me if she catches me with you again Severus! Especially if she knew I was really a wizard! I have to go," Before I charged off I caught a longing look on Severus' face, but I ignored it and ran off.

Severus' POV

God I love that girl! It's just something about her that makes me want to scream with joy. I've loved her ever since I layed eyes on her that Sunday morning when I was seven. Now she's finally talking to me, because the greatest thing is, she's a wizard! Of course her self obsessed sister petunia isn't – and she isn't very discreet about it.

I am worried about her though. She is a muggle born, and as my mother keeps pointing out "The Dark Lord will wipe out that filthy scum", but I couldn't tell her.

After Lily ran up and over the hill I sat daydreaming for a bit with the peaceful atmosphere and distant quaking ducks. But it would never last. I solemnly trudged back up to my house where my which mother was brewing potions in the kitchen, and my muggle father was watching TV in our living room. I was never noticed around my house, just swept aside unless I was working.

I trudged into the kitchen but my mom never even looked up from what she was doing – so I just grabbed a pumpkin pasty and slumped off to my room.

In my room I had a juniors portable potions kit with a couple a potions books and that's all I did for most of my time (If I wasn't I was following Lily admiring her). I was lounging about flicking through a beginners potions book correcting a few mistakes when there was a tapping on my window.

AN:

Yes, I tried to put a Severus POV in there, how do you think it went (not that it was very long, I just wanted to introduce Severus properly)? I'm definitely not good at writing long chapters, so I'll try to update every day, but homework is so tough rite now :(
