The Accident
7/15
Dear Diary,
Today I just received the most WONDERFUL NEWS! I am a witch! A letter came for me today carried by an owl. It said that I was accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! It was an awful time convincing dad that it wasn't some hoax. But mum eventually talked him round! Petty was simply awful though. She called me a FREAK! It hurt Diary, it really did. I never thought Petty would… EVER say a thing like that. But Oh well you cannot have everything in life. Mummy told me we can get my school things on the 21st! I can't WAIT!

Dear Diary,
I am working on dad's present at the moment. It's a painting of a unicorn. After all, Diary, they ARE my favorite creature. Though I must say faeries come in a close second. Anyway back to my painting. It's all in deep shimmering blue… flames? With a single pure white unicorn upon a ridge. Its Horn is accented with a soft golden glow. But what's strange Diary is that I never intended for this painting to come out this way. It was supposed to be of me and my dad. But my hand took off with the brush and my mind followed as if I was dreaming and it never really happened. It was really queer Diary. I felt as though I was THERE with the unicorn like it had happened or was going to happen. This music was playing, silky and smooth, and yet I felt as though it were not played for pleasure but for pain. As if the very notes could inflict pain upon the player. I do hope that this was just a silly dream Diary… But something makes me wonder…
At ten o'clock on the 20th of July Lily bounced out of bed and went to her parent's room. Giggling she tiptoed over to the bed. "BOO" she yelled playfully.
"Wha? Lily? Wha's going on? What 'sall the fuss about?" he dad yawned.
"Wake up! It's your birthday!"
"Give us a couple more minutes' honey." Her mother rolled over.
"Sure mum!" Lily skipped down to the kitchen aqnd looked at the friendly blue and white walls. 'I know what I'll do! I'll make breakfast in bed for dad and mum!'
"Hmmm…" Lily said 'What should I make?'
'Porridge she thought wickedly! After all mum is always saying how good it is for you! So I'll make porridge.' Chuckling wickedly to herself, Lily pulled over an extra tall stool which she stood on.
"Now where is that recipe book? She looked up from her already high perch and noticed a rather large red book, placed on the shelf there. Cautiously Lily pulled it down causing what must have been years off dust to fall on her. Coughing she dusted herself off and stared at it.
The book was a huge, red old thing with gold embossed letters on the front. Part of the lettering was too faded to be read but here is what she could make out... *… ree Ma… * Slowly Lily opened it and began to read.
A golden
Chime, A golden Steed
Born to
Unicorn as you read,
Ignite
the fire blue and cold
The
Chosen one is born of old.
To the
Flower you must look,
And the Protector
who's heart she took,
In their
hands the world must rest,
And start
upon their fateful quest.
Evil Lord
in dark arise,
Unarm him
and the Flower dies,
The One
shall live on unto nigh,
18 years
and one must die.
The
Lighting shall find the chime,
Go wither
for or nor in time,
Lily had reached the end of the poem but it didn't seem like it had ended. There had to be more! Lily also wondered what this meant. Who was the flower and the protector evil and wait did it say something about a steed? Humph. 'Well, she thought, if they had wanted it to be understood it would have been written down legibly.'
As it was, when she flipped through the rest of the book it remained blank. "I wonder what it's about" she mumbled to herself as she got out the oats, pan, sugar and other necessary ingredients for porridge. Humming thoughtfully to herself Lily went about the kitchen collecting and adding things to a pot she had placed on the stove. All at once however the phone rang.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hello this is the Evans residence, Lily speaking."
"Hello Lily! Its me Erin! Remember? I went to France this summer and promised to call?!"
"Hi Erin! Of course I remember! I could never forget you! So how is it down there? Is the weather nice? How is your family?"
"Well the weather is extremely nice, its WONDERFUL and my family's great!"
"Really? That's sooo cool! Erin I have something to tell you!"
"And I have something to tell you! Well actually I have two things."
"Okay you go first."
"Well Lily, I can speak French!"
"That's awesome…"
"And," Erin continued. "I got accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"
"ME TO!"
"No way Lily, are you serious?"
"Dead serious, Erin! I got a letter and am going to Diagon Alley tomorrow morning around 7:30 am. Would you like to meet me?"
"Sure where though? Seeing as how neither of us knows how to get in…"
"How about the Leaky Cauldron itself? At least we both know where that is."
"All right then, see you there!"
"Bye Erin!"
"Happy Birthday and Bye Lils'"
"Thanks Erin, bye!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lily put the phone down and turned around to see that the porridge was boiling over. 'Oops' she thought.
"What is that awful smell?" Petunias high winy voice echoed off of the walls.
Lily winced as she tried to pull the pan off the burner. No such luck, the pan was stuck and the stuff inside it was about to boil itself off the stove and all over the kitchen floor. Lily wrenched her body back trying violently to pull it off. *CRACK* the pan broke free sending the boiling contents toward over Lily and the rest of the kitchen. Unfortunately (for Petunia that is) at the very instant that the pan wrenched free she walked into the kitchen. In fear for her safety as well as her sister's Lily yelled "ADOHAS!"
The porridge was transformed into sparkly green dust which covered everything in a green coating rather than scalding the children. Petunia's eyes rolled back into her head and she fell to the floor in a muffled thump.
It was then that Lily's Parents decided to come down for breakfast. They surveyed Lily; in her green nightdress (actually it was white but the green dust…), the pan in her hand and the state of the rest of the kitchen. Violet Evans began to laugh, her husband after a second joined her, Lily looked relived that her parents weren't mad and after a bit she to saw the funny side of this and laughed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Unnoticed by Lily Petunia opened one eye and snuck a look at the state of the kitchen. 'Oh Lily your in for it this time!' Petunia said to herself trying very hard not to smirk. She heard her parents start to come down the stairs and Petunia lay back, wanting to hear the pity ravished on her as well as her freak sister getting her just desserts. When they just stood there and laughed Petunia felt shock. 'H-how could they laugh at his? Where was the punishment and the "oh poor Petty you deserve breakfast in bed…?" Where? Why were her parents not coming over to see if she was alright?'
Petunia saw her parents walk over to Lily still bent over with laughter and asked what happened and if SHE was okay! The full force of this hit Petunia as she slowly stood, shaking her head to clear the spots in front of her eyes. "You, you dare! Lily you DARE to ATTACK ME with that MAGIC of yours! YOU TOUCHED ME, I COULD HAVE DIED AND THE ONLY THING MY PARENTS CAN DO IS LAUGH AND ASK THE FREAK IF SHE IS ALRIGHT!"
Petunia felt small tremors shiver up and down her arms. It was then she realized that she Petunia Tulip Evans, First born would always be considered second best all because of Perfect Little LILY! For a moment in time Petunia's shoulders sagged and she whispered "second best, always second best."
Then that moment was over and Petunia was filled with hate and a thirst to make sure that at least one person knew and treated Lily like what she truly was A FREAK. With that comforting thought in mind, Petunia went to shower and change, after all why waist a minute of precious 'Lets Make Lily Miserable' time.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Violet and John Evans looked at one another with worried expressions. It sounds like Petty's in the shower John. I'll talk to her when she comes down. "Now Lily, would you mind explaining what happened down here?"
"Well, I uhh, um well IdecidedtomakebreakfastandErincalledandthepotboiledoverandthenitgotstuckandiulledonitanditcameupandiyelledsomethingcauseididntwantPettyormetogethurtandthenitturnedtogreendust." Lily said this all very quickly with hand motions.
"Lily dear do you think you might explain it a little slower please?"
"Um, okay, I decided to make breakfast and Erin called and the pot boiled over and then it got stuck and I pulled on it and it came up and I yelled something cause I didn't want Petty or me to get hurt and then it turned to green dust."
"Okay well I'll tell you what, I'll clean up the kitchen and make breakfast. I in return expect you down here after you have showered and changed, ready to go to the park. Agreed?" Lily's mum said with a very solemn look.
With equal gravity Lily replied "As My liege requires."
"Oh you! Scat before I change my mind!" Lily laughed and skipped upstairs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lily skipped into her room and laid out a red tank top with comfortable Capri khakis to go with the khakis she laid out sophisticated Nike sneakers and red ankle socks. Bored she looked around her room for something to do while she waited for Petunia to finish. Her eyes settled onto her easel. She scrambled for a new piece of parchment and sat down. Sparkles ran wild before her eyes and warmth traveled down her arms to the very tips of her fingertips. A design seemed to pour out of the depths of her soul. Trees were outlined in a few strokes, there and there her brush was working madly now depicting a scene of beauty and grace. When Lily finished and looked it over. She started in amazement. There before her eyes was a panting of trees burning with blue flame, and a dark cloaked figure that even painted seemed to radiate power and evil. What was worse was that the blue flames seemed to open in front of the evil figure.
Lily shook her head as if to clear it. Then she frowned. What was this? Another one of her crazy urges that had created another, well… she didn't know. All that she knew was that when that urge came on her she had to paint.
Lily listened for a minute and heard Petty in the next room so she got her bathing things and made her way to the bathroom.
