A/N: I couldn't find a song for this chapter, so if anyone thinks they know a song that fits this chapter gets a cookie and pie (even though I don't like pie). Also, I'm looking for a beta, so if anyone would like to be my beta then say so in a review and I'll message the first one who responds. Enjoy and review!

"Lily darling, you have an owl," Charity Evans called to her youngest daughter. She pushed her blonde hair out of her face and resumed cooking, as if there were nothing unusual about a large owl carrying a letter in their house.

"Oooo!" An excited red head screamed as she ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. "It's probably from Hogwarts. I hope I made head girl!"

The girl named Lily took the letter from the owl and it flew off. She was about to open the envelope when her mother stopped her.

"Lily, why don't you wait until your father and Petunia get home from work? They'll be here in a few minutes. Besides, dinner is almost ready and you should wash up."

"But mom, I've been waiting for this day since I was in my first year at Hogwarts! You can't expect me to just wait when I have the answer right here can you?"

"If you've waited that long a few more minutes couldn't hurt. Now, help me set the table."

Lily sighed. She knew there was nothing she could do or say that would change her mother's mind. Her parents didn't understand that Lily was of age in the wizarding world and she could do whatever she wanted. She was tempted to open the letter anyway, but she would be in a lot of trouble, so she put the letter down and helped her mother.

After what seemed like forever, her dad and sister finally came home. She quickly picked up her letter and ran towards them screaming, "It's here!' Neither Adam, Lily's dad, nor Petunia knew what Lily was talking about, but Lily didn't care.

She was about to open it when, once again, her mother stopped her.

"Lily at least explain to your family what is going on. And wait until Richie comes down. I just called him."

"I don't know why you're making such a big deal of this. I either become head girl or I don't. It's not like we're going to celebrate or anything."

"Your Hogwarts letter came today?" Adam asked.

"Yes, but mother would not let me open it until you and Petunia arrived from your job. She wants everyone to be here when I see if I made head girl," Lily said clearly making sure her grammar was correct.

Her father wanted to make sure Lily was a proper lady and had good manners, large vocabulary, and always knew how to speak correctly. When her muggle friends first met him, they thought he was an English teacher because of the way he would always correct everyone and how they spoke.

"Well, I think that is a very good idea. Why don't you open it after dinner? If you do become head girl, you will get a special dessert."

"Father, as wonderful as dessert sounds, I would much rather open my letter once Richie comes down. You do understand, right?"

"I am sorry Lily but it was not a suggestion. You are not to touch that envelope until after dinner, and that is final." Adam said as he walked into the kitchen.

Charity followed and gave Lily an apologetic look. Petunia glared at Lily before walking to the kitchen also. Lily waited for her younger brother to come down so she could have someone to talk to.

"Hey, sorry I took so long, the book I was reading is finally starting to get good and I wanted to finish the chapter. So, what'd I miss?" Richard Evans asked as he walked down the stairs.

"Oh nothing," Lily said. "Just dad not letting me open my letter from Hogwarts until after dinner."

"But you're going into seventh year! You have to find out that you made head girl!" Adam said.

"I might not have made it you know. Someone else probably did. Someone who's parents lets them open their Hogwarts letter."

"You definitely were chosen. You're an Evans, and my sister, and smart."

"Oh Richie, what would I do without you," Lily said laughing slightly as they walked into the kitchen to have dinner.

"Nice of you two to finally join us," Petunia said annoyed.

"Mind your manners Petunia. What do you think Vernon would say if he heard you speak to your siblings like that?"

Vernon was the man that Adam wanted Petunia to marry. He met him at his job, Grunnings, and saw a lot of potential in him. That is why he gave Petunia a job there. He was already looking for a man for Lily to marry. After all, next year she would be 18.

"I am terribly sorry. I will not do it again," Petunia said.

"You most certainly will not," her father said sternly. "Now whose turn is it to say grace?"

Dinner was over and Lily couldn't have been more nervous. Her dad let her have the letter and everyone saw that she was shaking.

"Now Lily," Adam said. "You do realize that there are many girls that go to school with. Most of them are probably far more qualified than you are. The chances of you becoming head girl are very slim. I do not want you to be disappointed when you open your letter and there is not a badge."

"Thanks for your support," Lily said sarcastically.

"Watch it Lily. I could burn the letter right now and it would have no affect on me at all." Adam said. Petunia smirked at Lily.

"I am terribly sorry. I will not do it again," Lily said.

"Apology accepted. Now, open your letter."

Her trembling hand opened the envelope and a big shiny badge fell out of it. It read "Head Girl".

A very happy redhead was allowed to have ice cream that night.

A/N: It was bad I know. And trust me, her parents? Yeah, they get even worse as the story goes on. But it'll be okay. So review please!
