CHAPTER 1:

The Evans were an ordinary family, they had two daughters, Lily and Petunia. Lily Evans was an ordinary girl at the age of ten and tomorrow was her birthday. She had reddish-amber hair that was waist length and she had sparkling Emerald eyes that she had inherited from her father, William Evans. Petunia Evans was 12 had blonde hair and blue eyes like her mum, Katherine. William Evans had Emerald eyes and blonde hair. Katherine Evans had blue eyes and amber hair. The Evans was fairly wealthy.

They had a lovely eight-room home. One of the rooms was a den with a fireplace, where Lily was reading Wicked by Gregory Maguire.

"'No!' Elphaba sounded intrigued and a little embarrassed by the idea."

"Lily," Petunia sounded, coming down the stairs, "I can hear the fire all the way from my room, go to sleep Freak."

"Fine Petunia." Lily slowly walked up the stairs. Why does Petunia hate me? Why? Lily thought. Lily walked into her room. Her room was done in a dark green, which matched the dark wood floors; Lily loved it. Slowly, she crawled into her bed, praying that this year would be different than the last. Soon, she would be eleven.

Freak, thought Lily, Petunia is the freak not me. She loves to clean the toilet, not me…

…The next morning…

Lily woke up at six thirty, and made a big breakfast of eggs, toast, and pancakes. Katherine came down the stairs and saw Lily, "Oh Lily, today is your birthday. Let me make breakfast."

"No Mom, it's fine, I'll make coffee."

Soon William came down. He kissed Lily on the head, "Happy Birthday Lily, I love you."

Lily and her parents ate in silence. Around nine o'clock Petunia came down. As she came into the kitchen she snarled at Lily. "Happy Birthday, freak."

"PETUNIA!" William cried angrily, "Lily is not a freak. Say sorry to your sister and then go straight to your room. You're grounded."

"Sorry Lily," Petunia said, slowly she climbed the stairs to her room. "FREAK!" she cried and ran to her room.

"PETUNIA!" William cried again.

"Dad, it's okay. Petunia is always grumpy in the morning. I'll go to my room now, thanks Mom, Dad, I love you,"

"We love you to Lily." Katherine smiled. "Happy Eleventh Birthday Lily."

Lily ran to her room and cried hard as she crawled into bed. Then at the window came an odd 'tap'. Lily lifted her head from her pillow and at the window was a brown owl. Why it was there, she didn't know, but she went over towards it and opened the window for the creature. It swooped in with amazing grace, dropped a letter on her bed, and flew out the window quickly. Cautiously she went to the bed and took the letter in her hands.

Miss Lily Evans
Under the bed

508 Wright Way

She turned it over. On the back was a strange seal; it had a lion, badger, snake, and a hawk on it. With shaky hands, she opened it. There were two pieces of parchment enclosed.

Dear Miss Evans,

We are pleased to inform you that you've been excepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…

"Mom, Dad, look what I got!" she screamed as she bolted down the stairs and into the office where her parents were whispering quietly between each other. With great enthusiasm she showed them the letter.

"That's wonderful Honey!" her mother exclaimed. Her dad just smiled. The other piece informed them of what to get and where to go and included her train ticket. Lily was the happiest she'd ever been.

"We'll have to go shopping tomorrow! 'Night Mom, 'night dad! Love you both."

"Yes, tomorrow we'll go shopping. Goodnight dear, we love you."
