A red-haired girl was lying on a white terrycloth beach towel under a soft blue umbrella in the middle of the warm sand. Her striking hair was a mess of wild curls that fell to right under her shoulder blades, and she had bright, emerald green eyes that were completely unique, and skin that looked like pure ivory. She had a full, rosy lips, and defined cheekbones. The only imperfection was the long scar that was about an inch away from her left eye and followed a path parallel to her lower lash line, going half way up the bridge of her nose. While many would have tried to cover this up, this girl had it out in the open, and it added a mysterious aura to this exotic beauty. She stood proudly at 5'7, and had a small frame and long, toned legs.

After lying on her towel for a few hours, reapplying sunscreen every once in a while, she got up from her haven and packed up her things in a big emerald tote bag that had the name "Lily Athena" stitched into it in a beautiful pale pink script. A small set of white earbuds (a/n: earbuds are those small headphones that go into your ear and come with ipods.) were now visible, placed in her ears and with a wire that traveled down into the white ipod nano that was slightly popping out of the small pocket in her muted green transparent beach wrap dress that was pulled over a modest light blue bikini. She stepped into the bakery that was right across the street, and pulling the aviators that hid the gems she had for eyes, she ordered an iced coffee and a croissant, a low fat blueberry muffin, and a piece of fudge to go, she placed the sunglasses back over her eyes and, thanking the cashier politely, she left the bakery, hearing the bell tinkle over head as she pulled the door open and shut.

After putting the crinkling paper to-go bag into her purse, she walked leisurely down the sidewalk. She seemed to be completely at peace, and walked meticulously. She put one sandal-clad foot in front of the other, her head held high and her back perfectly straight, leading down to her feminine hips, which subtly swung from side to side with each transfer of weight. Though she was clearly absorbed in the music that was playing faintly in her ears, she was making her own music as her emerald flip-flops flapped against the pavement and and her large bag jingled around and pushed against her hip every few steps.

After walking for ten minutes or so, she reached a large, but not enormous, house that was a beautiful shade of cream and finely detailed. It had an older, royal look to it, and yet seemed more modernized and welcoming. Smiling and showing her perfect set of pearly-white teath, she reached out a slender hand and her ballet-slipper pink manicured finger wrapped around the silver door handle, twisting it and pulling it open, and, passing the small '18' that numbered her house, she stepped into the foyer which led to the rest of the well-furnished, exquisite house.

"Lily! Is that you?" Called a deep voice from up the stairs. The girl smiled.

"Yeah, daddy! I'm home from the beach!"

A tall man with lightly tanned skin and golden brown hair came into view and walked down the small red-carpeted spiral staircase. He had a set of twinkling eyes that were ideentical to Lily's, and hugged his daughter as she kissed him sweetly on the cheek.

He checked his watch before laughing. "Punctual as usual, it's exactly 5:45! You mother will be down in a second, she was in the middle of "Pride and Prejudice", and you know how she is when it comes to Jane Austen."

"Well at least it's Jane Austen and not something weird like Superman comics, Preston!" Lily and her father looked up to see an older, slightly shorter, brown-eyed, straight-haired version of Lily standing there with her hand on her hip and a playful smile.

"Either way, I love you for it Charlotte." Preston kissed his wife, and in standard daughter fashion, Lily rolled her eyes, secretely thinking she wanted that too someday.

"So, Lily, did you have a nice time at the beach? I see you used plenty of sun block."

"I had a lovely time, and I brought back your favorites!" She said, reaching into her bag and pulling out the to-go bag from the bakery. "A low fat blueberry muffin for Mom, a piece of fudge for Daddy, and a croissant for me!"

"Thanks honey! That was so sweet of you! But lets save these for later since we are about to have dinner. Lily, have you packed already? Because if you have than we can have our annual night before Hogwarts Evans Family Fun Night!"

"I'm all packed, Mom, so we have the whole night to do whatever we want!"

You see, Lily was not just an ordinary girl. She was a witch who was born from a non-magical, or muggle, family. Every year since she was eleven, Lily would leave to go to Hogwarts, a magical boarding school, and come back in June, returing only for Christmas Holidays. She loved Hogwarts, but loved her parents more, and really hated leaving them for so long, and always tried to make the most out of the last night she had with them.

You could see the ideas of what they could do rolling through Charlotte's mind, and she smiled excitedly.

"Perfect."
