Lily woke up even before her parents did. She was so excited! She was going to Diagon Alley today to get her school supplies. 'I will also get to meet other witches! I hope they like me, what if I don't fit in?!' these were only a few of the thoughts that were going threw Lily's head right now. Lily sat down on her couch in front of her large fireplace. Lily just stared into the flames, lost in thought. A sound startled her out of her thoughts. Lily spun around to where the noise had come from and nearly had a heart attack.

"Aunt Judy?! How did you get here?!" Lily asked in shock. Judy giggled at her neice's expression.

"I apperated. When you get older and graduate from Hogwarts, you will probably be able to do it, too. Are you ready?"

"Ready? I just woke up. I still have to get dressed, do my hair, wake up my parents," Lily was rambling again. Judy pulled out her wand and muttered something. Almost instantly Lily was wearing a pair of baige capri's and a yellow tank top. Her hair was done up in a messy bun. Lily gasped.

"Wow," was all she could manage to get out. Again Judy giggled.

"Well, now all we need to do is get your parents up," said Judy as she began to walk upstairs to Lily's parent's room. After a few minutes, Mr. and Mrs. Evans were awake and up. After Lily kissed her parents goodbye, her and Judy left for Diagon Alley.

"Ok, first we need to go to the Leaky Cauldron. From there we can get into Diagon Alley," said Judy as she pulled Lily along. Lily nodded.

In no time, they were in front of the door of the Leaky Cauldron.

"Ok, here we are," said Judy as she opened the door and pushed Lily inside.

"Wow," said Lily as she looked around. There were witches and wizards everwhere.

"Judy! Nice to see you again! How's the muggle world been treating you?" asked a man behind the bar.

"It's nice to see you again, too, Tom! Life's good," said Judy as she shook Tom's hand.

"And who might this lovely young witch be?" asked Tom, gesturing towards Lily.

"Oh, this is my neice, Lily. She just got her letter yesterday. I'm taking her shopping for her school supplies," said Judy proudly. Lily, however, wasn't paying attention. She was too busy studying the other witches and wizards.

"So I heard that Herrold Potter is running for Minister of Magic," Lily thought she heard one witch say. 'Did she just say Herrold Potter? No, no I must be imagining it. The Potters are gone. I really need to stop thinking about them,' thought Lily as she turned her attention back to her aunt.

"Well, Lily and I had better be going now. It was nice talking to you Tom!" said Judy as she and Lily walked out of the Leaky Coldron.

"Hm...what was it? Oh, yes," said Judy as she took out her wand and taped some of the bricks on the wall. What happened next amazed Lily. The walls folded back to reveal a huge alley filled with shops and magical people.

"So, this is Diagon Alley?" asked Lily in awe as Judy nodded.

"So, the first things on your list are some work robes, a hat, some gloves, and a winter cloak," said Judy as she looked at Lily's list.

"Wait, Aunt Judy, how do I pay for this?" asked Lily.

"Oh, yesterday, after I left, your parents gave me quite a load of money to put into your wizarding bank account. I already have some of your money with me, already converted, so we can skip going to Gringotts," said Judy as she showed Lily some of her money.

"Ah, here it is. This is where you will get your robes. You go on in here and get measured up, buy your robes, then go to Ollivanders, there you will buy your wand. After you buy your wand, meet me in Flourish and Blotts. I will be getting your books for you," and with that, Judy left.

Lily walked up to a lady with very short curly hair. This lady looked very old. She had half oval shaped glasses that covered gray eyes.

"Ah, and who might you be miss?" asked the lady kindly.

"I'm Lily Evans. I'm here to get my robes for Hogwarts," said Lily, feeling nervous.

"Well, Miss. Evans, I am Madame Moffette. Just walk over to that changing room and you will be measured up," said Madame Moffette with a soft, friendly smile. Lily walked over to where a room was with a girl about Lily's age in it. Lily walked next to the girl and stood still as she began to be measured.

"Hi," said the girl. She sounded just as nervous as Lily felt.

"Hi," Lily replied.

"I'm Paige, Paige Collins," said the girl. Paige had dark hair with honey brown eyes. She was very beautiful, just like Lily. Her hair reached a few inches past her shoulder and it was silky straight.

"I'm Lily, Lily Evans."

"So, are you going to Hogwarts, too?" asked Paige.

"Yeah, first year," replied Lily.

"Me too! I'm so glad that I finally met another witch! My mum and dad are muggles, so I didn't really grow up with magical people," said Paige. Lily smiled.

"I'm a muggle-born, too! I'm here with my aunt!" said Lily in excitment.

"Really?! Cool! My parents just dropped me off at the Leaky Cauldron and I had to have strangers help me threw."

"Didn't that bother your parents? Leaving you alone in a strange place?" asked Lily.

"Well, my parents never really were too involved with me, and now that they know I'm a witch, well, they have even less to do with me," Paige said as she looked down.

"Oh, yeah, my sister, Petunia, she acts the same way. She doesn't know that I'm a witch yet, but when she does find out it won't be pretty. Hey, would you like to spend the rest of the day with my aunt and I?! It'd be fun!" suggested Lily, changing the subject.

"Sure! That'd be great!" After Lily and Paige were done getting their robes, they went to Ollivanders. Paige had already gotten her wand, so Lily was the only one who still needed one, but Paige waited for Lily anyway.

"Ah, Mrs. Pot-Miss. Evans," said an old man as Lily stepped into the shop. Lily didn't notice that he had nearly said a different name.

"Hi, I'm here to get a wand," said Lily.

"Well of course you are, that's why you're here. Do tell me, how is that lovely aunt of yours? I believe her name is Judy?" asked the man as he handed Lily a wand.

"She is fine," said Lily, feeling a little uncomfertable around this man. Paige obviously noticed Lily's nervousness, so she went and stood next to Lily. Lily waved the wand around and suddenly the desk the man was behind was blown to bits. Taking out his own wand, the man repaired his desk and said, "A great wand, but not the one for you..." He handed Lily a different wand, Lily waved it, and the man was thrown into one of the shelves that held the wands. Lily quickly set the wand down onto the desk.

"I am terribly sorry mister-" began Lily before the man cut her off.

"No, no. It's ok. Happens all the time." about fifteen wands later, Lily was beginning to get exausted.

"Here, try this one," said the man, also getting worn out. Lily grabbed the wand, and golden sparks flew out of it. The man let out a cry of joy.

"YES! You finally found the wand for you. Mahogony, eight inches, unicorn hair." After Lily had paid for her wand, Lily and Paige groggily walked to Flourish and Blotts. On the way there, Lily bumped into someone. It was a boy with messy brown hair.

"Excuese me, sorry," said Lily.

"It's alright," said the boy as he left before Lily got a good look at his face. 'He sounded so much like...he looked like...no, it couldn't have been him. STOP THINKING ABOUT JAMES POTTER! YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO SEE HIM AGAIN!' thought Lily.

"There you are! I was getting worried!" shouted Judy once Lily got into the shop.

"Sorry Aunt Judy, wand troubles," Lily said simply.

"Oh, ok. Who is your friend?"

"This is Paige Collins. She will be staying with us for the rest of the day, is that alright?"

"Yes, that would be lovely," said Judy, "Oh, I bought everything on your list except for your pet. Do you want an owl, a cat, or a-" Judy giggled, "a toad?"

"I think that I'll go with an owl," said Lily. Lily got an owl that was a very light brown color with bright green eyes to match her own. Lily had named it Celest.

"Well, that's all," Judy looked at her watch, "Woah! It's already six o'clock! Well, we had better be going!"

"See you in a few days, Paige!" said Lily as she and Paige parted. Lily let out a loud groan once she got to her house.

"What's wrong, dear?" asked Judy.

"Petunia, she came home today," Lily said glumly.

Well, you have to face her sometime. Just keep reminding her that at any moment you can turn her into a frog."

"What? I can't. I don't know any spells," said Lily.

"But does Petunia know that?" asked Judy as she apperated back to her house.

The rest of Lily's night was spent telling her parents about the wizarding world and showing off what she had baught.

"Oh, so little miss freak is home. Tell me Lily, how does it feel to know that you have discrased your family and completly recked the pure Evans name?" asked Petunia, holding up a fake micraphone.

"Tell me, Petunia, how does it feel to know that your younger sister can turn you into a toad at any moment? At least it would be a great improvement in your physical looks," replied Lily. "Girls, girls! Stop it this instant! Now you two are not going to see each other for months! Can't you just get along until Lily leaves?" asked Mrs. Evans. Both girls muttered a "Yes Ma'am."

After a long night, Lily crawled into her soft bed and fell asleep, dreaming about what her new life was going to be like.
