To Lily's surprise she finds out more about herself; the side she never knew existed.
*******************************
The car ride
*******************************
"Okay so what your trying to tell me is that I'm a witch!?!?!?" exclaimed a Lily a little too confused.
Was her mom on drugs? Was she taking medication and had forgotten to take it? Was she crazy?
"Honey, open the Letter from Hogwarts." Molly Evans waited for her daughter to take the envelope
"Lily darling, Hogwarts…is a school for wizards and witches. It is formally called Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry."
Molly Evans paused for a little breather. "Believe it Lily. Where do you think your father goes every day? Where do you think you get the magic? All those weird things that happen… that have no logical explanation? Like that time when you were five… we went shopping…"
She paused again to see if she had Lily's attention. She did so she continued on "It's certainly not from me, not that there's anything wrong with magic but I'm a muggle."
Molly saw the look of confusion on her daughter's face and explained herself. "Lily a muggle is a term that wizards and witches use to describe a human being with no magical powers. Your a pure blood! I think that's what they call you, you see, your mother is a Witch. I amyou're your birth mother! I know this must be a lot for you to handle but it's time you knew the truth!"
Molly could see a total and utter look of confusion in the auburn haired girl. Like as if this was all a joke being played on her. She couldn't begin to imagine the thoughts going trhough Lily's head. Knowing that her mother wasn't really her birth mother, that she was a witch. That she was about to attend Hogwarts. A School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Poor her!
Molly decided to continue. "Your sister is a 'squib'. And your father's a powerful wizard. He's works for the Ministry of Magic." exclaimed Mrs Evans a little out of breath.
A pause of about five minutes while both of them thought over the new prospects of Lily's life.
Molly Evans decided that she should end the silence.
"If you have any more questions, you may ask me…and if I don't know the answers keep them and tonight your father will explain more to you." Since she could see Lily already deep in thought she added.
"By the way tomorrow don't make plans because you and your father will spend the day in Diagon Alley. That's a kind of magical mall; that's where you will find all your school supplies and much, much more."
An other ten minutes passed before Mrs Evans once again spoke first.
"Well Lily do you have any questions?" asked a rather worried Mrs Evans.
"Well…first! What will become of me…if I go to Hogwarts? asked a shocked Lily.
While her mother pondered on that prospect Lily, formulated other interesting questions.
"Ask your Father! He will probably be able to clear it up. After all he is a wizard. Anymore questions Lily? Or do you want to wait until your father comes home to ask him some questions?" asked a hopeful mother.
"Well were going shopping at the moment so I would like to let myself get over the shock for the 2 hours that we have left in the car and…I would like to think questions over." replied a weirded out Lily.
"By the way mum, would you happen to have any pen and paper? I would like to write down my questions." asked a hopeful Lily.
What happened if she forgot most of her questions? Especially the important ones? What if… Lily started to ponder and question her own thoughts.
"Well… I don't have pen and paper Lils, but I have to stop at the gas station and I'll buy you some there."
"Oh…no need mum"
"Don't worry about it Lily I will anyways."
"Oh alright mum" answered Lily, giving in, knowing she would never win this fight.
*************************************
2 minutes later they stopped at the gas station
*************************************
Lily's mother got out of the car; got a pad of paper and some pens, 2 soda's, 2 ice cream bars and a bag of chips. She paid and came back to the car.
While Lily's mum was buying 'the supplies needed for the rest of the car ride' a man in the forest eyed the car with the 'special child' (Lily) in it.
Lily saw the bush ruffle and locked the car.
A few nerving minutes passed and Lily finally saw her mum come out of the store.
She unlocked the car so her mum wouldn't ask questions and kept to her regular routine like as if nothing had been seen in the bushes. Yet she could have sworn she had seen yellow eyes. Yellow piercing eyes. EVIL eyes.
She took the bags from her mum and told her to keep on driving.
She knew from that moment on that she had indeed been watched the other night. She had seen those same ugly yellow eyes peer through the window of her bedroom. She had been nervous and had spent the night with her parents…in fear…of those yellow eyes. She knew from that moment on she was… that she was…SPECIAL.
Her thoughts were pushed away by the urge to jot down questions that her father could answer. But every so often, she would see those eyes. Yet she would push them away and formulate more questions she needed answers to.
Not too long later, she wondered if she should tell her father about those eyes always on her, but decided to shrug it off, since he would probably take it the wrong way. And over react.
**************************
In no time they were at the mall shopping away.
Her mother had let Lily pick clothes she had really wanted to wear and to show her mum that she wasn't a total loss of a girl, she bought a nice skirt with a suitable top.
The reason Lily had tried on the skirt and the dress was because she knew she would be going to a new school and she would want to show off her new outfits and not some guy pants and a 3 sizes too big sweater. She wanted to impress!
Lily had decided to buy a lot of feminine clothes, from tight pants to tight shirts. Before Lily was to leave she had to buy a bra because she was 'developing'.
Her mother had made her buy some new of practically everything.
Lily wondered how her parents could afford all that clothes, and then quickly remembered her father was the BIG boss at the Ministry of Magic.
By the time Lily left she had: - a lot of socks, underwear and bra's . She had about five pairs of tight pants. She of course had three pairs of loose pants. Ten new shirts (all on sale). Three sweaters(of course big). Two pairs of new shoes. One pair of running shoes. A new bag. Two skirts (comfortable). Shorts, t-shirts, dress clothes and much more. Just about everything needed for a full year of different clothing, and accessories.
Then there was also what she had at home.
They stayed the hole day and left exhausted. They had made a good couple of trips to the car and to walk back inside and back to the car and back inside...
When they left the mall it was about dinnertime. They stopped at a restaurant on the way and ate in the car.
When they got back home it was around 9:30 pm.
Once back home, Lily interrogated her father. She didn't last too long though. Lily's questioning her father made him very happy, to know that she had such interest in the magical world.
Mr & Mrs Evans finished the night by the fire discussing little issues. Then Lily's father took her in his arms with her envelope, held tight in her hand.
He brought her upstairs to her room and tucked her in.
He was a little curious. His curiosity got the best of him. He opened the envelope and read it's contents. It reminded him of when he got a letter from Hogwarts.
This is what it contained:
HOGWARTZ SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

After reading all of the letters content's Mr Evans walked out of his daughter's room. He went into his own and talked to his wife for a little while. But what he didn't realise was that some yellow eyes were watching Lily through the window.
***************************
Lily dreamt wonderfully that night.
She dreamt of marrying a handsome man with unruly black hair and in her dream she had a child. He also had unruly black hair and most of the handsome man's features.
But their was something intriguing about the little baby boy.
He had Lily's eyes!
She continued to dream peacefully without consciousness of the rest of her dreams. What she didn't realise was that those eyes were watching her through the window. Those ugly, yellow, evil eyes.
The next morning her father woke her up, went into Lily's rooms and woke her up. Mr Evans and Lily both took their showers and ate breakfast. Before Lily knew it she was standing in Diagon Alley.
