Life of Lily

It was a crisp summer day and Lily Evans was clambering down the stairs from a good nights sleep. She approached the table where her mother, father, and sister were already sitting. "About time now," smiled her mother "I was just going to send Petunia up to get you." Petunia, Lily's older sister, sniffed and tossed her head up with her nose sticking in the air. Lily sighed as she sat down. Petunia always treated her coldly mainly since Lily was prettier than her. Lily had large, sparkling, emerald eyes with long dark, rich auburn hair that had a natural curl to it. On the other the hand, Petunia had squinty blue, cast over eyes with dull blond hair that was ramrod straight.

There was a *click* as the mail slid in. "I'll get it," Lily shouted scrambling to reach the mail. Bills, a card from grandma and an odd parchment envelope lay at the door. Slowly, Lily turned and headed back to the table. The envelope was addressed:

Lily Evans

Smallest bedroom at the stairs

182 Wildberry Lane

Bath

Funny, thought Lily. She never received any letters. The back of the envelope revealed a seal with an H in the center. "Hurry Up! What's taking you so long?

PUH-lease!" broke into Lily's thoughts. "Coming, coming. Sheez."

After breakfast, Lily carried her letter upstairs to open. She didn't want her sister to see it. Lily flopped onto her bed and tore open the letter. She scanned through the contents, then, "MOM DAD!! QUICK COME HERE! I'M A WITCH," she shrieked. A rumbling sound was heard as Lily's Parents stormed up the stairs. " Are you okay honey? Should we call 911 ?' The door banged open, "No I'm fine I'm a w…." but Petunia had cut her off. "Trying to get attention again?" "Oh shut up. Mum, Dad, I'M A WITCH!!" Lily's parents looked blankly at her. "There is no such thing as a witch, stupid," announced Petunia knowingly. Lily waved the letter in front of her stunned parents, "look! Then what do ya call this?" Snatching the letter, they read over it again and again. Finally "Lets go see if this *Diagon Alley* exists, if it doesn't then it's just a prank, if it's there then we'll buy your stuff then."

After pulling on a pair of khakis and a light green ¾ cut shirt, Lily ran down the stairs while yanking a brush through her hair.

Diagon Alley appeared to be real. Petunia sniffed and let herself be dragged in by her over-enthusiastic mum. After going to Gringotts, wizard bank run by goblins, and opening an account, Lily was allowed to explore the place before starting her school shopping. As she passed a shop called, Quality Quiditch, she noticed two boys around her age staring at something in the display window. She could hear them talking: "Look it's the new Shooting Star 198 broomstick," "bet it cost a ton." She was going to go and see the *broomstick* when a girl came over to the boys. "James, Sirius, Come ON! Mum says we can go exploring for an hour or so and meet her at Madame Malkins," said the girl. The boy with shaggy brown hair grinned at her, "I know what you're thinking'!" and together they chorused, "Knockturn Alley" and sped off. Lily sighed and returned to find her mum

"Right, now all I need is a wand and then we can go back, Petunia. Really stop whining, you baby," Lily sighed and sped off before her sister could retaliate.

Lily entered the dusty room and let the bells hanging on the door tinker after her. She could her someone talking in the back storage, "Now take good care of that wand, miss. And make sure it doesn't get into the wrong hand." "Right okay," replied a girl as she stepped out of the storage and paid her seven galleons. Lily recognized her as the girl that was with the boys looking at broomsticks. The girl spun around and smiled at her. Lily gasped, she had swirling blue pools of eyes and a flawless complexion. Her deep chestnut hair shimmered in a funny that Lily couldn't understand. "Hi! Hogwarts?" asked the girl.

"Yup"

"Are you a first year"

"Uhuh"

Lily was just about to ask her name when a voice floated out. "Really how long does it take to try wands? You must of tried thousands by now." The girl grinned and whispered to Lily, "actually I got my wand on the first try. Lucky huh? Well got ta go. C-ya at Hogwarts." And ran out the door.

She left Lily slightly dazed. Lily shrugged and waited as Mr. Ollivander rearranged his wands and help her.
