Chapter 2

Mystery Letters

Lily got home like she was coming from a dream. She knew that this summer was going to be like all the summers he ever had since she go her letter, because her sister Petunia was a muggle as her parents but didn't really understood nor like the magic.

She got to her room and unpacked her trunk, all the books of fantastic incantations were put in a bookcase. Her robes to the closet and the muggle clothes out. She had been in her house just a few hours and she already missed Hogwarts, her friends, her teachers and most of all she missed doing magic; but she knew that she was not going to miss James Potter, the most arrogant, stupid boy she've ever met before.

"Lily, could you come here please?" Her mother called from downstairs. "In a minute, mom" she said. And when she was about to reach the door an owl tapped the closed window. Who could be writing to her? It was too early for her to do it. She got to the window, opened it, and let the owl give the letter. "Lily, I'm not kidding get down right now!" her mother voice broke the silence. When she looked again the owl had left.

She left the letter over her desk and went down to where her mother was calling. "I'm here" she said "Good. I need you to get dressed up" her mother told her, "What for?" Lily asked giving a look of surprise "Your sister is getting engaged, and we were just waiting for you to arrive from school to give her an engagement party" her mother explained. "Petunia is going to marry that bloke" Lily added giving a snort, "He is not just a "bloke", he is Vernon Dursley a good man from a very normal family, you freak!" shrieked Petunia from the kitchen. "Enough!" their mother said, "I will not have fights in this house, not today nor other day. Some day you two will realize that you need your family and you'll feel sorry about fighting so much". Petunia had always hated Lily, because she thought that everybody liked Lily more than her. Well to be honest most people did. Lily just gave a sneer look to Petunia and said 'fine' to her mother, then she was again in her room and back to the mystery litter.

She too a second look to it and searched for clues to find out who send it, she found nothing. She opened it carefully and read:

Lily:

Love is a strange thing. It is a flower, so delicate that a touch will break it and so strong that nothing will stop its growth.

Think how often we miss love in a life time by a wrong gesture...

By an unspoken word… by not keeping silent at the right time…

We lose by interference of other people, by lack of money and communication, by a quarrel over something stupid and yet…

We cannot live with out it…

Lily read the poem several times trying to understand who had send it. It was beautiful and it really captured how she felt sometimes. The person who sent it must be a very skillful wizard because it was not handwritten and it had a soft playing music to set the tone. She wanted to reply but how, she didn't know where to send it or what to say back. She felt special and also felt with hope she knew that somewhere out there somebody was in love with her.

A/N I would like to thank my first reviewer and hope you like this one. When I was writing it I noted that James writes the letter after he gets from Hogwarts and Lily receives it when she is arriving, it was a little mistake in time setting and I promise to be more careful in the next ones. So please read and review. Chispas84
