Lillian Jasmine Evans sat back against her brown headboard on her
bed. Which was beautifully covered in different colored blankets. She
smiled to herself about how her day had gone. Today was July 30 her 11th
birthday and she had, had a big party. All her friends had come even
people she didn't like came. All together it had to be her biggest and
best birthday party she ever had. Think about it she must have gotten 50
presents.
Tap tap tap. Lillian 'Lily' was startled out of her thoughts by
another series of tap tap taps. She got up hurriedly hoping that it was
Marcus Whales throwing little pebbles to wake her up, to come out. But it
wasn't. Instead it was a rather large brown and black barn owl. It tapped
again. Lily un-latched the window and let the owl fly in. It dropped the
letter it was holding and flew off. Lily stared out the window at the
beautiful night sky. It was one of her favorite things to do just sit on
her periwinkle blue window seat and just stare off in the distance.
Thinking about this and that. Always little things. After a couple of
minutes she closed the window from the cool night air and walked back over
to her bed to where the owl had drooped the small envelope.
On the cover of it, it had written in a deep red. The color a little
lighter than blood red, that was her favorite color. It read:
To Miss Lillian Evans
The Window Seat
777 Laner Street
She flipped the envelope over and ran her index finger over the little
seal holding the envelope closed. She opened the envelope and pulled out
two sheets of parchment yep of paper. It read:
Dear Ms. Evans,
We are please to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts
School of witchcraft and wizardry.
The next two days Lily hardly remembered anything, besides the fact
that she found out that this wasn't a hoax and that she would be taking a
train to Hogwarts on September first. A small slip of paper inside the
envelope that she hadn't noticed before gave directions on how to contact
Professor M. McGonagall, who told Lily and her family how to get onto the
platform and how to get her school supplies. Her father and mother were
excited and surprised, and after binding Petunia to secrecy, she was
dropped off in front of a small looking pub called the Leaky Cauldron.
She walked to the back of the pub and saw a little plump lady sitting on a
stool wearing a pink robe. "Excuse me ma'am do you know where Dragon Alley
is?" Lily asked the woman, who smiled and walked to the brick stonewall
and took out a, what Lily thought was wand. The woman tapped a few bricks
with her 'wand' and the stonewall turned in to an archway.
"Alright deary. What kind of money do you have?" The Woman asked. "Where
are my manners? I'm Amber Croft." Lily Just stood there and looked at the
lady. What was the lady talking about she had green money. She shifted
uneasily. She thought. I only have one thousand dollars.. What if that
wasn't enough. I didn't want to bring much more than that. I mean I have
more money but I don't like flaunting it. I mean look at me I wear baggy
pants and spaghetti straps.
"Oh I'm sorry dear. You must think I'm nuts. I meant to say do you
have wizard money? Well probably not." The Amber said.
"Excuse me not to be rude or anything. But what are you talking about?'
Lily asked. Amber smiled.
"Sorry wizards have different money than your parents and hat you
have know."
"I have the green kind. Is that alright?" Lily asked quizzically.
The woman smiled again.
"Yes it's perfectly alright. See here." She pointed through the barrier and
was pointing at a large building that was sort of slanted. It was also
white. Lily waved good bye to Amber and walked into the large white
building
She stopped. There were goblins counting money. With little gold
scales. SMACK! Lily was knocked of her feet onto the floor.
A boy with messy black hair kneeled down next to her. He had unruly
back hair and the prettiest blue eyes she had ever seen. He was wearing
blue jeans and a big shirt. "I'm sorry. Are you okay?" The boy asked and
helped Lily to her feet, and stuck out his hand. "James. James Potter."
Lily shook his hand with a firm grip. She lifted waits at home.
"Lady Lillian Evans." Lily replied. "You can call me Lily. I'm
fine." James let go of her hand. And walked towards the main desk picking
up Lily's yellow and black bag and giving it to her.
"Well Lily. Would you like any help? You look a little confused."
At these words Lily blushed slightly. "Are you muggle born?" James seeing
Lily face added. "Non witch family?" Lily Nodded.
"Well James I'd love your help. I need to open an account." Lily
said. James turned around and yelled.
"Pad foot. Come on." Another boy with brownish black hair ran up
the steps over to them. "Lily this is Sirius Black. My really good
friend." Lily smiled and shook the boys hand.
To the head goblin lily said, "I'd like to make an account under the
name Lily Evans." The head goblin just looked at her. Another goblin
walked up and motioned them to follow him. They went on a quick ride down
a tunnel like place and stopped in front of a vault.
"Vault eight hundred and thirty. Ms. Lily Evans." Lily stepped out
of the buggy type thing and followed the goblin to the door of the vault.
"How much?" Lily smiled and blushed a little and took out her wallet and
handed the goblin one thousand dollars.
