As Lily opened her eyes slightly, a blinding light burned her eyes. She closed them quickly. Taking a deep breath, she opened them slowly. When they were completely opened she noticed something she hadn't before. Her sister sat on the chair at Lily's desk, an impatient look upon her face.
"Well?!" She said in an agitated voice. "Umm…yes?" Lily responded. "Mum and Dad said you had to tell me something." Petunia answered, in a voice that sounded angry, yet, if Lily was hearing right, curious.
Lily, deciding on how to explain everything, still sat there, which, of course, made Petunia even angrier. "If you're not going to tell me than I'll ask Mum and Dad!"
She started to get up but before she could walk away Lily quickly said, "Wait! I'll tell you!" Petunia just stood there, staring at Lily. "I'm a…a…a…" "A what! Spit it out already!" Petunia practically yelled.
"I'm a witch!"
"Oh." And with that, Petunia fainted.

Lily was standing over Petunia's bed when she started to stir.
"Tuney? Are you alright?" Lily asked, her voice full of concern.
"G-g-get away from me!" Petunia screamed. Oh no! She doesn't know who I am! "It's me Tuney, Lily." "I know who you are. What you are. You're a…a…a FREAK!" She had yelled this last word. Her first screams had not been loud enough for her parents to here but this one had been. Unfortunately for Lily she had heard it too. She knew her sister would react something like this, but she hadn't thought it would be this bad. "Petunia, what's wrong?!" Her father asked. "Get this…thing away from me!" Lily noticed that it sounded as though her sister were talking about a bug. A giant, slimy bug. A giant, slimy bug that a three year old might love to step on. Having heard enough, Lily ran to her room. She slammed her door and lay down on her bed, crying. She could hear the muffled voices of her parents as they said, "Maybe I should go check on her" That was the worried voice of her mum. "Just give her some time to herself." At least her dad understood how she was feeling.
She lay there for a few minutes, sobbing, but couldn't stand the silence. She needed to talk to someone, but that someone was not in her house.

Lily had never snuck out before. No matter how nervous she was though she knew she had to do this. Her window creaked a bit when she opened it, but not enough that her parents could hear. Seeing as she was only on the first floor she could just climb right out the window. When she was safely out she decided that she might need to get out of plain sight. So pretending as though she was one of those spies, she rolled behind a bush. Now, safely undercover of the bush, she looked around, checking to see if the coast was clear.
She decided to go for it. She stood up from behind the bush and started running. She didn't stop running until she got to the neighborhood park. When she finally stopped she had a stitch in her side. As she was still trying to catch her breath, she saw the person she was looking for. Sitting on one of the swings was a thin, pale boy with greasy black hair with baggy clothes on. "Sev!" Lily yelled while running over to him. The boy looked at Lily, his facial expression a mixture of shock and happiness. "Oh, hi Lily," he greeted her. "Did you get your letter!?" she asked him. "Oh, yes I did." he replied. As he looked up at her the sun shined off his face and she thought she saw a tear streak. "Sev, have they been…um…" This was a very personal matter for her to be asking about, but she didn't want her best friend to be upset so she continued. "Have they been fighting again?" "Well, no more than usual, but, well…it got worse when I got my letter." he said.
"Oh Sev, I'm so sorry!" She embraced him in a hug (Which she was quite proud of seeing how difficult it was to do with him sitting and her standing.), which he returned (With great difficulty of course!) but she could tell he was still upset because it was a very stiff hug. "Well, we'll be going to Hogwarts together soon!" She had only said that to make him feel better of course but she thought it did the trick. "My letter said that on the 2nd of July someone was coming to explain everything to my parents and me! Won't that be exciting?!" "Of course Lily." He gave her a look that was meant for her and her only. Of course she didn't realize his. They sat there and talked for a little while before Lily realized that she had better get going before her parents noticed her absence. She said good-bye and broke into a run.
When she got home she hurried to her window. When she got there she saw a closed window and an angry mother looking straight at her.
