Hullo! About two or three years ago I wrote a 40 chapter story entitled WWiBL? or What Would it Be Like?. I had all the chapters saved on my computer and posted about twelve before computer problems forced me to delete them all. I'm sorry for all the old readers and I've finally been motivated to re-write it. I hope it's as good as the first one and I hope you find it enjoyable.

(C) I don't own anything but the plot, Lily Johnson, and Leslie Johnson. J.K. Rowling owns the rest.

"Oh my gosh! Mom, they've got the fourth Harry Potter book! Can I get it? Please?" begged a desperate Lily Johnson. She was clutching the sacred book in her arms like a mother would an infant. It was obvious her obsession with all things Harry Potter had not receded in the long period between books.

"I guess you can," said Leslie exasperatedly. She was Lily's mother and only guardian. Her father had died in a car crash when Lily was very young. Lily had a little scar on her forehead from it which was one of the reasons Leslie thought her daughter was so obsessed with those books. Another reason was probably her name, which was Harry's mother's name. Leslie knew it wasn't exactly a healthy obsession but it was better than having a depressed child around the house.

Lily hugged her mother around the waist and said, "Thanks! I promise I'll be good and study and even clean my room! Well, at least be good and study." Her mother laughed slightly and looked over her daughter. She was short for her age, the top of her head reaching only to her mother's chin. Her hair was red and curly and was currently pulled back in a messy ponytail. Her eyes were a dark brown, just like her father's.

They finished with the shopping and went out to the car. Lily had a gift for being able to read while in a moving vehicle so she immediately started reading. The entire night she wasn't seen without the book. Leslie laughed at her daughter when she caught her going to the bathroom with the book in one hand. "What?" Lily had said innocently.

That night, Lily was up late finishing the book. During the long time she spent reading it, she occasionaly acted out a few parts. She enjoyed this and her mother always said she would one day grow up to be an actress. She could get a bossy tone like Hermione or even a mean, nasty tone like Professor Snape.

It was about 2a.m. according to Lily's clock when she finally put the book down. She sighed contently and looked out her bedroom window. The north star glowed brightly in the sky and Lily recited an old wishing poem her aunt had taught her years ago.

"Star light,

star bright;

first star I see tonight.

I wish I may,

I wish I might

have the wish I wish tonight.

I wish that when I awake tomorrow morning that I will no longer be Lily Johnson. I want to be Harry Potter's twin sister. I wish I was good at lessons like Hermione and a Gryffindor too. I wish I was pretty...well, at least not as ugly as Pansy Parkinson."

She lay there for the longest time, imagining what it would be like the next day if the wish really did come true. Finally at around 3:30a.m. she fell into a dream-filled sleep.

Lily was in the middle of a very nice dream where Ron Weasley had his arms around her waist and they were just about to kiss when she was being shaken awake. "Lily, wake up. I had an odd dream," a voice said.

She turned over groggily and said, "Hmmm?" It was a few seconds before her eyes adjusted properly. She looked across the room and saw another bed which was still messy from the former occupant. She looked towards the left wall and saw a window and two large black trunks. Finally she looked at the person that had woken her up and gasped. "You're...you're Harry Potter!"


Well, that was Chapter 1! Review and tell me what you think.
