Chapter 2

3 Years Later

Lily woke up and began to get dressed in her karate uniform only to remember she became a black belt last week and her mom said she did not have to go today. So she undressed and put on her normal baggy shirt and pants then she tied back her hair in a French braid. As she walked down stairs she could hear the cry of Petunia. She ran in the kitchen but no one was there. "Hello?" she called. On the table there stood an owl. A real live owl! With something tied to its foot. Lily walked closer to see.. A letter? She quickly untied it and was about to open it when she heard a sound behind her.

"Surprise!" She turned around to see her family walking in with presents. She laughed as she remembered that today was her birthday she had been so concerned about getting her belt that she had forgotten. She dropped the letter on the table and went over to them to help with the present and forgot about the letter.

As she open the last present, a book by Charles Dickens, she saw the letter. She picked it up, thinking that it was a birthday card. As she opened it she saw the following:

Lily's eyes widened in shock as she handed the letter to her parents. They read it carefully and Mrs. Evans gave aloud squeak. "Lily!" she gasped. "You have been accepted! You uncle will be so proud! He was one too! we came from a pure blood family but I never received a letter! I guess I was what they call a squib and I never thought that I would have a child that was magical!! I am so proud!" and with that she started to hug Lily.

"Mom," Lily started I don't understand but was interpreted.

"Lily don't worry about anything I will get your aunt and uncle to explain every thing! They have a son about your age his name is Sirius I think. He will also be going probably. He could show you the ropes. Here let me call them on my coral call." She said and then saw the puzzled faces. "It's a kind of phone in the wizarding world." She explained and rushed up stairs to get.
