Lily starred at the letter dumbstruck. 'What the hell did this all mean?' Then she cracked it 'Probably just a stupid joke of Petunia's.'
"What does it say?" Her mother asked anxiously.
Lily slid the 1st page over to her mother.
"I can't believe it! I can't believe it!" Her mother jumped up and hugged Lily so tight she couldn't breath.
"Mum, what is it? What does it mean?" Lily asked.
"It means that your a witch!" Her mother smiled with glee.
"But...your not one, so how am I one?" Lily asked.
"Well you see, my Aunt was a witch and my mother's mother was a witch but some how your grandma didn't receive a Hogwarts letter!" Her mother explained roughly "I am so excited! We have a witch in the family! I am so proud of you Lily!"
"OK, mum, slow down!" Lily controlled her mother "What is a Hogwarts?"
"A Hogwarts?" Lily's mother laughed "Hogwarts is a school where witches and wizards go to learn their magic, its a boarding school, none really knows where it is, but my Aunt took me to this place where they sold heaps of magical stuff. It was called Diagon Alley and boy was it cool!"
"Wow," Lily was so speechless.
"What does the other sheet say?"
Lily turned her attention back to the other piece of parchment. She unfolded it in a hurry:

"Wow," Lily starred "Where do i get all this stuff from?"
Lily's mum took the parchment from her "I'll ring my Aunt Grettle, she will know and maybe she will take us!"
As Lily sat at the table she noticed a very small piece of parchment. She picked it up and read:
Hello Lily Evans, My name is Albus Dumbledore and I am the Headmaster at Hogwarts. The owl that delivered you letter is named Henry, could you please feed him a slice of bread and send your reply of whether you will be coming to Hogwarts back with him. Yours Truly, Professor Dumbledore.
Lily got up and walked over to the owl "Hello Henry, want some bread?" The owl hooted with delight as Lily went to the cupboard and got out a slice of bread. She feed it to him in her hand.
"Thanks for that Grettle, we will meet you there tomorrow at 11am!" Lily's mother said down the telephone "Bye!" She hung up and walked over to Lily.
"This is Henry, the headmaster sent me this little note." Lily handed the note to her mother.
"OK, well that was my Aunt Grettle and she said we can go to Diagon Alley tomorrow at 11am," Mrs. Evans looked at her daughter "Thats if you want too, do you want to go to Hogwarts?"
Lily thought hard. She had always missed her mum when she went on camp and slept at her friends but she couldn't miss out on this opportunity.
"Yes, i think so." Lily replied.
"Great!" her mother said "I'll write a reply then,"
Her mother wrote on a piece of paper "How does this sound?" She handed Lily the note:
Dear Minerva McGonagall, Lily will be more than happy to attend Hogwarts starting on the 1st July, Thankyou, Yours sincerely Mrs. Lisa Evans.
"Sounds good,"
"Great!" Mrs. Evans tied the note to Henry's leg and he flew off with a hoot.
"Mum! The biscuits!" Lily yelled.
Lisa Evans ran to the oven and took out the biscuit with her bare hands "Damn!" She dropped them on the floor.
"No, Drover, her boy!" Lily whistled at her dog.
"Its OK, I can save 'em!" Mrs. Evans replied.
"Good!" Lily got up and walked over to the bench "They smell great!"
"Here, do you want one?" Lily's mum handed her a biscuit.
"They are delicious, I'm going to miss your cooking mum!" Lily said.
"I'm going to miss 'you'!" Mrs. Evans hugged her daughter tightly "I'll send you some biscuits every week, we will have to buy you an owl so you can write to us!"
"Cool!" Lily heard a car pull into the drive "Dads home!"
Lily rushed to the front door "Dad, I'm going to Hogwarts!"
"Congratulations hunny!" Her dad hugged her and kissed her cheek "Can i smell cookies?"
"Yeah, mum and I made some, C'mon."
Petunia stood at the kitchen door watching the 'happy family' laugh about her sister's newest honour to the family. Petunia was so jealous she felt like crying, their mother and father had never loved her as much. Lily was pretty, intelligent and sweet whilst Petunia was ugly, dumb and rude. Petunia's dull black hair didn't stand out like Lily's beautiful dark red hair. Petunia's dark brown eyes had never been a match against Lily's bright green ones. Everything about Lily Petunia hated, from head to toe and toe to head.
"Hey Petunia!" Lily said noticing her at last "Want a biscuit?"
"No I don't want one of your stupid biscuits, I HATE YOU!" Petunia's face steamed up and she ran up to her room.
Lily attempted to run after her but her mother spoke "Leave her be love, she is just a bit jealous right now."
