Two weeks later, June 23rd...
"Mum I don't know why you are going to let her attend that dreadful school? Magic is not exactly a genuine item. It is a waste of time." Petunia complained.
"Oh, I do wish you would give your sister a chance. That Professor from the school will be here today, so I want you to either be civil or go to a friends house." Daisy told her eldest daughter. As if on cue, there was a knock on the door. "Get the door and then you can leave, because I am sure that is what your choice is going to be."
"Yes, Mum." Petunia said. She then walked to the door, and opened it. "Hello, and you would be?"
"Good day to you Miss Evans. My name is Professor McGonagall. May I come in?" McGonagall asked.
"Sure, I was just leaving. Mum is in the drawing room right there." Petunia pointed to the room right next to the door, and walked out, slamming the door behind her.
"I am sorry about Petunia, she is just a little bit jealous that she wasn't the one to be offered a spot at Hogwarts." Daisy apologized as McGonagall walked into the sitting room. "Please have a seat."
"Thank you. I fully understand the sibling rivalry. My older brother was devastated when he didn't get his letter, and then became very angry that I did." McGonagall stated.
"Mummy, I heard Petunia leave. Is the Professor here yet?" Lily exclaimed as she ran into the room, and then gasped when she realized that someone was there. "Hi! I am..."
"Lily. I know." Lily was interrupted by McGonagall finishing for her. "I am very pleased to meet you. I am Professor McGonagall, and I will be your Transfiguration teacher."
"Cool! What other subjects are there?" When Lily asked that simple subject it started a whole afternoon of questions. And when Mr. Evans came home he joined in the Q & A session.
"I am sorry if I took up your whole afternoon, but with students so eager to learn, like Lily here, I am in my element and I find I cannot stop answering questions. I will meet you here again on August 20th to escort you to Diagon Alley to purchase all of Lily's school needs. And if you need to get a hold of anyone for answers to anymore questions you may have about the school or magic in general here is the name and address of a young couple that can help you." McGonagall handed the address to Aster and then they all showed her out the door.
As they stood on the front porch and watched her walk down the street Aster turned to his daughter and asked her a question. "Do you really think you are going to like this school? You can change your mind now if you want to."
"No, Dad. This is what I am meant to do with my life. I feel that I will be needed in this new world that has been opened up to me. Besides, this new world of magic certainly explains all those odd thing that I have been around here for. Remember last week when Petunia and I were fighting and she said I threw the vase at her?" I asked my Dad.
"Yes, dear, but weren't you on the opposite side of the room? We knew she wasn't telling the truth" Dad answered me.
"The truth is, I did throw it at her, that is why I asked you not to punish her. I didn't physically throw it, but I was so mad at her, and I wanted to throw something at her. The next thing I knew the vase was just barely missing her head and slamming into the wall next to her." I told them as we walked back into the house.
"I know dear. Remember I knew about the letter too." Mum said to calm me down. "I knew, I mean we knew, that it was an instant of magic. I knew it wouldn't be too long before you got your letter. Now I think its time you went upstairs and cleaned your room. You might also want to start thinking about what you want to take with you to school, clothes and such for the weekends."
"Okay Mum. But do I have to clean my room?" I looked at her hopefully, but I knew it was a worthless try because she just gave me the Mum look, and I turned around and walked upstairs. I got to my room, and went quickly about cleaning it. Then I sat down at my desk and started to plan what I wanted to bring, all I still had to get for school, and I really hoped that they would let me get a cat.
The next couple of months had passed in a daze for me and my family. I spent most of the time running around our house laughing and singing songs from the movie Mum and I had watched. And I was also busy trying to talk my parents into letting me have a cat. They really wanted me to have an owl so that they could send me messages. I finally talked them into letting me have both.
The name of the couple that Professor McGonagall gave us was a young couple by the names of Arthur and Molly Weasley. They had come over a few times for dinner, and had brought their little boy Bill. He is so adorable. I just found out that Mrs. Weasley is expecting another child in a few months. They seem like such a nice couple. No matter how many times they come over though, my sister refuses to meet them. She is afraid of magic I think.
