"Well, that was a lovely
letter!" joked Mrs. Evans
Lily giggled. "Mom, it
didn't tell us where to go!" said Lily "I know sweetie," said Mrs. Evans "but I
think I herd of this one place that people have gone into and something, I'm
not sure but I have a feeling that could be the place." Said Mrs. Evans "YAY!"
shouted Lily "What's the squirt shouting about now?" asked Petunia coming into
the room. "I'm going to be a Witch!" said Lily "Right and I'm Aaliyah!" shot
Petunia "You are! Can I have your autograph?" said Lily Mrs. Evans laughed at
this statement. Petunia glared at her little sister.
Petunia and Lily never
really got a long. There were two different people. Not one person said that
they look the same or acted the same, that's odd for two sisters that grew up
together.
Mrs. Evans explained
everything to Petunia. "So, she's going to go to this, what, Hogwarts?" asked
Petunia pointing at little Lily "Yes I am." Said Lily. "And, I'm going to be
the best witch ever!" "Right, anyway mom I'm going to the mall with my friends,
I'll be back home at 6:00 pm." Said Petunia "Alright but no later then 6:00 or
your grounded missy." Said Mrs. Evans "Yes mom, whatever you say." Said Petunia
with a sweet smile and left.
It was a beautiful day and
Lily plus her mom were in the backyard smelling roses. Mr. Evans was at work.
He worked for a printing company and was very successful. "What time is Daddy
going to be home?" asked Lily "I'm not sure but I hope soon. So, therefore I
should start dinner!" said Mrs. Evans "Alright." Said Lily
Many Weeks past and it was
finally 30th. It was also a Saturday. "Mom, can we please go to the
place we talked about yet?!" yelled Lily from upstairs'. Lily was getting
dressed so they could go shopping today for their supplies! "Yes but you must
wait for your father to get home from the food store!" yelled her mother.
"Alright!" said Lily
"Sorry I'm a little late but
I got these roses for you!" said Mr. Evans giving the flowers to Mrs. Evans.
"Aw thank you dear but you know what, Lily is going to come bouncing down those
stairs any minute to go!" said Mrs. Evans
A few minutes later here
came Lily down those same stairs that Mrs. Evans had mentioned earlier. "Dad
your home! Lets go!" said Lily taking her fathers hand and pulling him out of
the door. Mrs. Evans ran out of the door to catch up to them before they drove
off with out her.
They had finally arrived at
the Leaky Cauldron. It was the same place Mrs. Evans was talking about. Its
perfect looking at a store that looks completely deserted to her parents. "Um,
yeah its wonderful honey." Said Mr. Evans
Lily dragged her parents in
the Leaky Cauldron. There was a man behind the counter. "May I help you?" asked
The Man. "Yes this might sound strange but would you happen to know of a store
where she could shop for witch supplies?" asked Mrs. Evans "Of course." He
said. They were all relived that he didn't like call the police on them or
thought they were nuts. "Walk right threw that wall you sees that is blank.
Then you will end up in Diagon Alleys. That is where you may go shopping for
all of her supplies." He said. "Thank You very much!" said Lily and with that
she headed to the wall.
Lily's parents were right
behind her and at the count of three they all walked into the wall. Lily
thought it was very odd to walk into a wall to get to a bunch of shops. They
had made it threw the wall! There were bunches of people walking around busy
with their conversations to notice the new comers.
They saw a bank and went
there first. "Hello may I help you?" said a grouchy voice. "Yes, we would like
some wizarding money." Said Mr. Evans "Yes sir." Said the Goblin
They got 200 gallons for
Lily.
They walked into the street
and read the shop names and went to get her robes done first. There weren't a
lot of people to get their robes done.
"Welcome, May I help you?" asked a woman again
behind a counter. "Yes, we would like to get three black robes and a winter
cloak." Said Mrs. Evans "Okay, right this way dear." She said gesturing to Lily
to follow her. Lily did as she was supposed to. Lily got sized and they paid
with their money.
Next they went to get her animal. "Lily what do you
want as an animal?" asked Mrs. Evans "A owl!" said Lily. "Alright." Said Mrs.
Evans They found the little shop to buy Lily's owl. There was a beautiful snowy
owl that was hooting. "Mom, I would like that one!" said Lily "Alright." They
paid for her owl and went to finish getting her supplies.
They had finished at Diagon's
Ally and went home. "Lily put all her things in her room and started to pack.
Tomorrow was the big day and she wanted to be ready. Lily had finished packing
and picked out her clothes.
Lily's mother had called her
down to dinner. They were having Pizza, in honor of Lily going of to Hogwarts. Petunia
liked the pizza but wasn't happy that her parents were talking about how Lily
was going to have a wonderful year.
Lily had finished dinner and
went upstairs' to change into her p.js. It took a little bit for Lily to fall
asleep but she would go to sleep soon! She always doses!
