Lily Evans: Life as a Death Eater

CHAPTER 0NE

Beep Beep Beep... lily groaned and turned over, pulling the blanket over her head. But the beeping continued, beep beep beep... her arm came groggily out from under the blanket and she started feeling around for the alarm clock that had roused her from her sleep. She found it and quickly shut it off, withdrawing her hand back under the covers.

"lily, petunia, breakfast!" lily groaned again, couldn't anyone get any sleep around here? She climbed out of bed and stumbled over to the closet. She opened the door and looked in the mirror. A skinny girl of 10, soon to be 11, stared back. She had flowing wavy red hair that hung down to the middle of her back and startling bright green eyes. Lily grinned and hurriedly pulled on a pair of bell bottom jeans and a short sleeved shirt. She walked over to her dresser and picked up her brush, dragged it through her tangles of red hair, then went back over to the mirror, grinned again and raced downstairs.

Lily Evans wasn't the type of person you would call normal (not be muggle standards anyway). She was obsessed with magic and anything to do with it. She even had the whole standard book of spells collection (hidden from her parents and nosy sister), which some strange man in a cloak had given to her a few years ago. Lily wished for more than anything to a witch, which she knew was impossible (that's what she thinks).

"Good morning!" lily said brightly as she entered the kitchen. Her mom was setting the table for breakfast and her dad had his eyes glued to the morning newspaper. "'morning dear." they said in unison. Petunia scowled and muttered, "show off." lily smiled. This annoyed petunia even more.

After eating breakfast, lily went back to her room. Since it was the first day of the summer holidays so she didn't know what to do, so she picked up the standard book of spells grade 1 and began to read it. After a while she got bored of it and put it away. Lily sat back down on her bed with a loud FLUMP! And stared blankly at the wall. She couldn't take it, tomorrow was her 11th b-day and as each second ticked by, her excitement mounted higher and higher. She wished she had her friends around to help pass the time, but they were all at summer camp except for Vivian who was visiting her grandmother, and none of them would be back until July. Frustrated, she picked up a pillow and flung it across the room. She gave a small smile of satisfaction. Just as she was about to throw another pillow across the room, a thought occurred to her, she hasn't opened the standard book of spells grade 7. Spellbound by the idea, lily quickly jumped up and dug around in her secret hiding place until she found it. "AHA!" she propped it open and began to read it. This was the perfect way to spend the day, memorizing new spells.

Lily went to bed that night with fresh spells floating through her memory, she couldn't wait 'til tomorrow.
