Chapter One
August 22,1966Tori Johnson, Lily Evans, and Rinda Wilkson were the best of friends. They had known each other since Muggle
1st Grade where they were all in the same class. They were always in the same group for finger-painting,
reading, math etc. This might been because all three girls excelled in school or maybe it was because strange and
mysterious things sometimes happened to them. For instance, when a little 2nd grader started picking on Lily at
recess, in late fall, a strong gust of wind "mysteriously" came and pulled the girl's red and black checkerboard
uniform skirt down and it flew of into the distance. (Luckily, she had shorts on underneath.) This had to have been
a bout of accidental magic. because the young girl was more then slightly overweight and the skirt was obviously
way to tight on her chubby frame. The girl never picked on Lily again.
Rinda and Tori grew up in the same neighborhood, which was full of robbers and drug dealers, so they often
protected one another against the evil dangers of the world. The same day after lunch, during art, in class the
class clown threw a bucket of red paint at Rinda and Tori, but somehow the paint turned bright orange and the
paint ended up all over the boy. His name was Sirius Lee Black. That day after school, Sirius happened to go home
with James after school. Both boys told about the events that had occurred that day. Hmm, thought Mrs. Potter.
Three muggle born witches at the same school!! Wow. She stored the names Lily, Rinda, and Tori, away in her
brain to remember later.

August 29,1971
Lily Jane Evans woke up groggily. She had stayed up all night with her best friends Tori and Rinda. The
three girls got together once a month for a
sleepover and almost never went to sleep before 3 a.m. Lily wandered over to the mirror after putting on her
fuzzy green slippers. She brushed back
her dark red hair and blinked rapidly trying to wake up fully. As she looked around the empty room with
bloodshot eyes, she noticed it was empty. They
must already be watching T. V. she thought.
Lily was in one word really really pretty. (That was three, but oh well) She had medium red hair, tanned skin,
emerald green eyes and a body to die
for. Lily was also a very popular nice person to hang out with. The only bad part about that was the fact that Lily
had thought she was ugly. When she
had looked in the mirror before, she had seen somebody with weird eyes, too red hair, a skinny wimpy body and
too thick hair. Every time her friends
tried to prove her wrong, she would try to make herself look worse.
Finally, by 5th grade, when she looked like a normal girl, Lily started wishing for the compliments to come back
about how cute or beautiful she looked
that day. (Not to mention the looks that she got from boys.) Finally, the previous night, Rinda and Tori had fixed
Lily up good. Lily was now sporting
shoulder length red hair with dark orange highlights and wore a little make up (lipstick and blush)
Lily threw on a green shirt that read Devil's Angel in bright bold letters with dark blue jeans. Sticking her hair,
in a messy bun, Lily walked out of the
room to watch TV with her friends.
Tori was African American and so she had long black hair with brown highlights. She usually wore her hair in
braids, but today, it was straight down her
back. She had big honey brown eyes and a perfect smile. Tori had a sunny disposition and was nice to just about
everyone.
Rinda was Hispanic, and she had short brown hair blue eyes, and a caring smile. She was always willing to lend a
helping hand to whoever needed it.
Just as Lily was sitting down, the doorbell rang. All three girls got up to answer the door. When Tori opened the
door, in walked Mrs. Potter carrying
what looked like three letters. She had three owls trailing her as she sat down in the dining room.
(Mrs. Potter was family friends with the three girls parents)
As she handed girls a letter, she urged them to open them quickly so she could explain what was happening.
"Well here goes," said Lily
This is what the letters said:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

"Shit- ake mushroom compost" said Rinda saving herself from a long lecture on civilized talking.
"I'm a witch- like green faced, wart nosed ones?" asked Lily
"This will take a while girls. You had better sit down," said Grace Potter.
