Disclaimer: I own none of these characters, they all belong to JKR, and all I own is the plot, which may be overdone, but is my story.

**Prequel**

Lily Evans had vibrant red bushy hair, and glimmering green eyes, hidden behind glasses. She never wore make-up and didn't try to improve her appearance. She went to a normal school in the city of London in which she lived. The day she turned 11 though, everything changed. She was sent a letter by mail with a rubber bonding securing it together with a capital H with four pictures inside of it. This is how it happened.

Her parents were throwing a birthday party for her with all of her family there; aunt's, uncle's, both of her grandmothers, and her one grandfather, for her other one had passed away when she was only 3. She also had all of her 7 cousins there celebrating with her also. She was receiving a gift from her aunt Amy, which happened to be a make-up kit filled with all of the essentials, when it happened. A big gray owl came swooshing down from above them and dropped a thick yellow envelope on top of Lily's lap. She opened it up as soon as she got it because all of her family members shot curious glances at it. Once she had read it she gasped and froze with a shocked expression on her face. Her mother picked up the envelope and read it aloud to the rest of her family. They all were as shocked as she was to find out that Lily was accepted to Hogwart's school of Witchcraft and Wizardry because they couldn't recall anyone from their family's having had any drop of blood in their veins. When they finally figured that it wasn't a joke, and that in fact Hogwarts was an actual place, they all decided that it was probably best for her to go. Her whole family was ecstatic and encouraged her to go. All of her family, that is, except her older sister Petunia. You see Petunia was always jealous of her sister Lily, even though lily was dorky and Petunia was extremely popular in her grade. But there was just something about Lily that ticked her off. especially when she brought James home for the first time. but we'll get into that later!

(A/N yes I know its really short so far, but bare with me, this is just the prequel. I would just like you to know that I absolutely LOVE reviews, so please do so! ( I will have more soon, and btw, this is my first L/J, I usually write FF's from Harry's time. Ok ya; well I'll come back later to post more!)
