One morning on July 29, 1974 Lily Evans awoke to hear a tap tap, tap tap, on her window.
"Yeah, yeah, what is it?" the eleven year old yelled to the window, it wasn't abnormal to have someone tapping on her window anymore since the local boys had taken fond of her they would always leave little messages on her window and tap to acknowledge that they were there.
Tap tap, tap tap, it came again, then again!
"What do you want this time, David?" Lily yelled again, David was the only one this persistent.
Tap tap, tap tap. This time the tapping was louder.
"Fine, I'm coming. I'm coming!" Lily jumped out of bed and ran to the window but instead of seeing the top of a boy's head disappear she say a white, snow owl on her windowsill with an impatient look on its face. She opened the window. "Where did you come from?" Lily asked the little creature that now sat on her arm.
The owl stuck out its claw and looked at Lily. The claw had a letter tied to it, the letter was hard to read from how it was tied on but Lily could definitely tell that it had her name on it.
Running down the stair wasn't easy with the owl still on the excited girl's arm but Lily managed.
"Mum, Dad, guess what!" Lily said jumping u and down with the opened letter in her hand.
"Sweetie, calm down. Take deep breaths before you hyperventilate!" Mr. Evans told his oldest daughter.
"Dad there's no time! I have to go get school supplies!"
"What do you mean? You already have your school supplies! There in your bedroom." Mrs. Evans told Lily logically.
"No I don't have the right ones! Listen to this. 'Dear Miss. Evans, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find the enclosed list of all the necessary books and equipment. Term begins September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31. Yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress.' I have been accepted into the best school for witches and wizards!" Lily explained to her awe stuck parents.
"You mean, you are going to be a witch!" her father hesitated. "That's great!"
"You mean, I can go?" Lily asked on edge.
"Yes, if that's what you want." Her mother said with a sigh.
"Than you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lily screamed.
"What's all the commotion about? Why can't normal people get any descent sleep around here?" Petunia, Lily's younger sister came walking down the stairs rubbing her eyes free of sleep.
"Lily has been accepted into the world's best school for witches and wizards!" Mr. Evans told his young daughter excitedly.
"That's impossible, there's no such thing as witches and wizards!" Petunia protested.
"Well, if it's impossible then why am I going?" Lily asked her jealous sister.
"O.k. you two, that's enough! If we are going to get this owl back to the school in time then you better send the reply, Lily, then we're going shopping!" Mrs. Evans instructed her daughter.
*~*~*
That same morning James Potter came running down the hall flapping a piece of parchment in one hand.
"Dad, Dad, Mum, Mum, it came. My letter came!" James yelled. "My letter came. WAHOO! It came!"
Yes, James Potter knew what was in store for him in that letter; his parents had gone to the same school when they were James' age and his parents new from the moment that he was born that James would also go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"James, that's great! I knew it would be here any day. Wanna go shopping for school supplies?" Mrs. Potter asked her eleven-year-old son.
"Sure. I'll go get my coat!" and with that James ran from the room very excitedly.
*~*~*
AN: At Diagon Alley the very same day in which Lily Evans and James Potter received their acceptance letter for Hogwarts the two new students meet each other but it's not how you would expect...
"Mum, I think we can get my robes in here." remarked Lily as she say someone being sized in the window.
*~*~*
"Dad, I need my robes from Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, then I need my first year books and my wand! Everything else we have at home. Parchment, and quills. Stuff like that." James told his father, but next thing he new he bumped into a girl with red curly hair and green eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry." James' voice trailed off as he looked at her.
"Oh, that's all right-" as the girl turned she stopped and stared.
"Do I-" they both asked each other and stopped.
"Lily, are you coming? We're running out of time. We still have to go get Petunia's school supplies. Lily!" The young woman calling didn't seem too happy.
"Yeah, O.k. I'm coming, mum! " Lily turned around and was about to walk into the robe shop when she suddenly turned and said, "See, you at Hogwarts, James!" and then left.
What? How did she know my name? Why do I feel some kind of connection with her? James thought to himself and out loud he said, "Yeah, hope you find all of your school supplies, Lily!" Wait. How do I know her name? Well, that woman did say it but I feel like I've known her my whole life! Odd.
"James, what are you looking at? Oh. I see. That girl. You think she pretty don't you?" James father said nudging him slightly.
"Dad," James rolled his eyes and walked into the Madame Malkin's Robes of All Occasions.
