Chapter 2:

Lily Evans woke up to a ratter on her window. She sat up and went over to where the noise was coming from to find Arabella's owl, Sierra. Lily opened her window to let Sierra in. Sierra dropped a letter onto Lily's bed and flew away. Lily opened up the letter and smiled.

Lily,

Hi! How are you doing? I'm SO excited!! We're starting our seventh year in two weeks!! Listen, why don't you meet me in Diagon Alley tomorrow? I reckon we can do our shopping together. How about it? Find out if you can go and let me know as soon as possible okay?

Terribly hyper,

Bella

Lily sure hope that she could go. She decided to go downstairs to ask her parents.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lily went down to the kitchen and found her mother making waffles and her father drinking coffee.

"'Morning Mum," Lily said. "'Morning, Dad."

"'Morning, honey," her parents said at the same time.

"Erm, Mum, Bella just owled me and asked if we can go shopping for our school supplies together in Diagon Alley tomorrow," Lily said, sitting down at her seat at the breakfast table.

"Sure, sweetie," her mum replied, as she set some waffles down on Lily's plate. "Anything for my Head Girl."

Lily beamed. She had just gotten her letter and badge a few days ago. Just then, Petunia entered the kitchen and sat down next to Lily.

"Petunia," Lily began kindly, with a smile. "I'm going to Diagon Alley tomorrow. Would you like to come?"

Lily, of course, knew what the answer was going to be. She just thought that it would be nice to ask. Sure enough. Petunia responded nastily.

"No way. I would never want to be seen in that freak place surrounded by freaks. Not to mention going with the biggest freak of all: you."

Lily's smile faded away. She quietly excuse herself from the table and made way back to her bedroom.

Downstairs, this conversation could he heard:

"Petunia, why are you so mean to your sister?" Lily's dad asked.

"Whatever. I'm going to Vernon's house, okay?" was the answer. And without waiting for permission, she got up and stalked off.

Back up in Lily's room, Lily got out a piece of parchment and write back to Arabella.

Bella,

My parents said it's okay for me to go. Meet you in the Three Broomsticks, okay?

Lily

Lily rolled it up and tied it to her own owl, Cherry. Then she took Cherry to her window and set it out. Lily looked after it as Cherry became blurrier and blurrier. Soon, you couldn't see her at all.
