I know my chapters still aren't that long, but I keep trying to make them longer than the last chapter. And Karry, George isn't my invisible friend, my invisible friend is Sirius!!

Peace out!

June Twenty-Eighth

That night, Mrs. Evans had explained all about the arrival of Lily's letter and where they had been all day. Luckily, Mr. Evans was not upset at all he was actually very excited. He immediately went up to Lily's room after the explanation and started asking Lily all about the wizarding world. After she had told him just about everything, he started talking about things that were more serious.

"Lily," John said gravely, "Are you absolutely sure that this is what you want to do with the rest of your life?"

"Yes daddy," she replied, "This IS what I want to do with my life. I want to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and learn how to be a proper witch. I'm really excited about it, and I PROMISE that I'll be good and work hard on my homework and I'll try not to get into TOO much trouble. But, you know that I have to do my pranks or I'll get bored."

"Hahaha," Mr. Evans laughed, "Yes, yes, you can still do pranks as long as you don't kill or maim anyone. Alright? And I don't want to get any letters saying that you failed a test or anything like that."

"Don't worry dad," Lily yawned, "I promise to be good, but I need to go to sleep now, I've had a very eventful day, and I need to be very awake for my birthday tomorrow! Good night."

"Night dear," Mr. Evans replied, "I'll see you in the morning."

He got up and left the room, leaving Lily alone with Storm, Midnight, and Moony. Lily changed into her pajamas, took off all of her make-up and brushed her teeth. Then she fed her three new companions and got into her bed. As she lay there, she thought about the things and people that she had seen today. She made three new human friends and three new animal friends. She soon fell asleep; dreaming about what life would be like at Hogwarts.

"Wake up Lily!" John Evans called, "It's time for breakfast."

"I'll be down in a few minutes," Lily called, "I just need to take a shower. I'll be down as soon as I'm done."

After Lily had taken a shower. She decided that she would wear her pink capris and bright blue halter-top. Although she new that her outfit totally clashed with her hair, she didn't mind because she still loved the colors, and she could wear whatever she felt like wearing. She had totally forgotten that today was her birthday. She was too busy thinking about Hogwarts. Ever since she had gotten her letter, Hogwarts had constantly been on her mind.

She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, trying to decide what she should make for her breakfast that morning, when suddenly she heard.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILY!!!" It was like a huge word bomb had gone off in the kitchen. Pretty much every single one of her friends were there. All of them, except Arabella. The thought of Arabella not being at her party was the only unhappy thought she had in her mind at the moment, though she quickly pushed it out so that she could enjoy her party.

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

Lily had a wonderful time at the party. They had cake, ice cream, pizza, candy and almost every other kind of party sweet you can think of. She had gotten SO many gifts. She had counted them, and the number of gifts was over seventy-five. After all her friends had left, she had thanked her parents relentlessly for the party.

It wasn't until her party that Lily realized how blessed she was with so many friends and a great family that loved her always, even when she was being a bum. Anyway, she thought, I better get started on writing thank- you cards, because it could take me a REALLY long time until I get them done since I got so many gifts.

She headed up to her room and started looking for her Thank-You stationary, so that she could go ahead and get started. She sat in her room for about three hours before she finally finished all the cards. When she was finally done, she started thinking about Diagon Alley. Then she remembered about the restaurant! She took out the piece of paper and read it again. It said " El lugar a ser cuando usted tiene hambre."

Now that she had a clear mind, she could easily translate the restaurants name into English. It said "The place to be when you're hungry." "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, It all makes sense to me now," she said to herself, "I knew that it said something about food, but I wasn't sure about what it said exactly."

Ring Ring Ring.. Lily quickly jumped up to answer the ringing phone. \

"Hello," she said slightly out of breath.

"Hey Lily," a female voice replied, "This is Alana McCoy, I just wanted to call and say that I am sorry for missing your party, but I was kind of busy. Oh, and Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Lily, Happy Birthday to you!" "Thank you SO much Alana, that made me feel really loved," Lily said, she was really appreciating being sung to on the phone, "Why couldn't you come to my party?"

"I had to go shopping for supplies for my boarding school that I'm going to next year," she stated, "But, I might still get you a present, if I remember anyway."

"I wish you could have been there, it was really fun. What boarding school are you going to, I'm going to one too, so maybe we're going to the same one."

"Ohhh," she replied unsurely, "I, uh, can't remember. Maybe I'll call you and tell you when I do remember."

"Um, ok then Alana. Anyway, I need to go make sure I have everything for my school, even though it doesn't start until September first. Laterz"

"Ok, bye Lily. Talk to you soon."

When Lily had hung up the phone, she was thoroughly confused. But then again, whenever she talked to Alana she got confused. You see, Alana was a rather difficult person to understand. She'd rather sit outside in the warm sun with a book, instead of going to a noisy amusement park, like most of Lily's other friends.

That night, Lily's parents took her to dinner at a big fancy restaurant. Lily had a wonderful time. She had spaghetti and meatballs, and champagne. Her parents let her drink champagne and wine all the time because they knew that Lily enjoyed it and that she wasn't stupid enough to get drunk.

When Lily got home and went to her room, there was an owl waiting on her bed, and it wasn't her multi-colored Storm. Lily was quite surprised, though not as surprised as when she had gotten her Hogwarts letter. That had totally freaked her out.
Oh no! She thought. What if this is another letter from Hogwarts saying that they decided that I wasn't good enough to be a witch??!!!

She quickly lunged at the owl and grabbed the letter off his foot. She ripped it open and was completely surprised to see what it said inside.

Hey Lily, Guess who? It's me, Arabella! I was just writing because I really wanted to tell you something. First, that I'm sorry that I missed you party. And secondly, I wanted to tell you that I am a witch. I will be going to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry this year. If you aren't a witch, then the Ministry of Magic will probably be coming to your house as soon as you get this, because muggles aren't supposed to know about the magical world. Anyway, if you are a witch, then we will have so much fun at Hogwarts! We will rule whichever house we're in! I hope we're in the same house!!! And if we are, then we will scare the WHOLE school with our wild antics!! Well, I'm gonna let you go. Please write me back!! I really, really, really, really, really want to know whether you are a witch or not!! Lots of Love and bottled water, Arabella Figg

Lily was jumping on her bed as soon as she read who it was from. She would be going to school with Arabella for the next seven years of her life!! Storm, Midnight, and Moony were also making a whole lot of racket, but that was because Lily was scaring them, not because they were happy.

Lily immediately sat down on her desk, still smiling happily, and started her letter to Arabella.

Hey Arabella, This is Lily. I just wanted to tell you the bad news. I'm..... a witch too!!!! This is SO cool! We are going to have a great time at Hogwarts! I thought that I'd have to go to Hogwarts and not know anybody!! But now I'll have my bestest buddy with me!! Have you gone to Diagon Alley? I went yesterday, it was SO cool! I met three people there. Lucius, Remus, and George. Do you know any of them? They're really nice. Well, I'll talk to you later!! See you on the Hogwarts Express!! Lots of Love and hyperactive candy, Lily Evans

After Lily had read through it a few times to make sure that she liked it, she folded it up and tied it to Stormy Night's leg. She gave her an owl treat, told her to take the letter to Arabella, and then put her out the window.

Lily looked up at her clock and saw that it was already 11:30pm. She decided that she probably get to bed, but then changed her mind after she had changed into her snowman pajamas. Instead, she decided to read one of her Portuguese books. It was called "O mistério de Milgrom Salão" In English, it's called "The Mystery of Milgrom Hall."
Lily really enjoyed reading books in other languages. She figured that since she knew other languages, she might as well read books in other languages. Then, she had a sudden thought. Maybe, she thought, I could start speaking to people in one of the languages I know, instead of in English so that I could practice more. I think I will. But right now, I think I'll just go to bed.

She fell asleep, with " O mistério de Milgrom Salão" still in her hands.
