*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily Evans stared up at her ceiling for the last time. The ceiling, which she had stared up at every night for 15 years. When Lily lowered her eyes to scan the room, which was empty of all belongings and old memories, she realized she might never be in New York City again. As she lay on her bed she recalled the previous day when she said goodbye to all her friends from Pigmul Academy. Some might say Pigmul was a strange name for a school, but stranger yet was what they taught there.
Lily gently drifted off to sleep, tuning out the arguing going on downstairs between her older sister Petunia and her mother.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
All of a sudden Lily was awaken out of the darkness. She opened her eyes and saw Petunia shaking her shoulders.
"God, could you take any longer to wake up, you freak?!!" Petunia screeched.
"What??" Lily asked in a sleepy voice.
Lily had a spark of mischief in her eye. She shot up abruptly, pretending to shake uncontrollably. Petunia leapt back.
"OH MY GOD! PETUNIA! THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU! THEY'RE- THEY'RE COMING! RUN!!! RUN, PETUNIA, RUN!!!" Lily yelled at the top of her lungs.
Petunia turned, screamed and ran.
" By the way, can I have your room?" Lily asked calmly to Petunia's retreating back.
Once Lily heard Petunia scrambling down the stairs, she fell with a thump to the floor, into a fit of laughter.
Petunia had been suspiciously afraid of Lily ever since they found out about her ability to perform magic. No, not magic tricks. No, real magic, she was a witch and Petunia was not, actually none of her family was.
Some kids at her witchcraft & wizardry school teased her for being a mudblood. But she was a gorgeous mudbllod at that. With her long auburn hair, smooth as silk, that fell to her waist, her porcelain complexion, and her deep green eyes, she attracted the stares of many guys at Pigmul. But Lily for someone who wasn't within her reach.
Her mothers call upstairs ceased Lily's laughter. Oh no, we're leaving, really leaving. Lily thought.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Later that day on the plane, Lily's face was shushed up against the circular window, as she stared into the endless white. Her hands were cupping the sides of her face, so that Petunia couldn't see the gentle tears trickling down her porcelain cheeks. Even though it was early August, the air conditioning was on in the plane, making Lily shiver, as she remembered her old life back in New York.
"Would you like some peanuts?" a kind old stewardess asked, snapping Lily out of her reveries.
"No thank you," she replied sweetly, "I am allergic" (a/n: we know this is kinda lame but it's important latter. Guess what we're both eating peanut butter rite now) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Soon the flight landed and her parents handled the moving of their stuff from their New York apartment to their new house in London.
Then they were on their way to their new home in the heart on London.
"Girls your father and I have decided that you kids are growing much too apart," Mrs. Evans said.
"So we are sending you to a sleepover camp, that starts in two days, on Monday. The camp is called FSE, which stands for fun, sports, and education. It's in the countryside south of London. FSE will last for 3 weeks. It's great that it's so soon because your already packed!" Mr. Evans finished.
"Wait a minute, Petunia can't go to a magical camp!" Lily exclaimed. (a/n: Katies trying to push me off my chair!)
"Oh dear, honey, it's not a magical camp," said Lilys mum.
Before Lily could protest they pulled up mi n front of a beautiful house.
"We're here!" Mrs. Evans exclaimed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The weekend went by in a blur. On Saturday most of the Evans family could be found unpacking, except for Mr. Evans, who was talking on the phone to the new law firm he was going to start working for on Monday.
In the late afternoon the mail fell through the slot in the front door. Lily walked over to the door. She flipped through the mail, looking for anything of interest. Some of the mail belonged to the old owners of the house that people accidentally still sent here. While flipping through, one particular piece caught her eye. It was labeled:
Ms. Lily Evans
Entrance hall
17 Williams Drive
London, England
Lily ripped open her piece of mail. After she read the letter she calmly put it on the chest next to her, and started leaping around for joy. She had been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The excited teenager ran around the house trying to find her parents to give them the good news.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile, next door middle-aged yelled, "Sirius Black, you come down here right now!"
A good-looking, 15 year old boy came racing done the stairs. His mother was the only person he was afraid of.
"Now, you are coming with me to meet the new neighbors."
"Mum, please. I was just in the middle of writing an owl to James."
"This is more, Sirius. We want them to fell at home."
"Fine," Sirius said reluctantly.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mrs. Black and Sirius walked across the lawn, up the steps, and rung the bell to 17 Williams Drive.
A girl about Sirius age answered the door. She's really pretty, said a voice inside Sirius's head. Another voice said Okay, what about Liz, yeah you know he. Besides this girl is a muggle.
"Hello," Mrs. Black said, "We are the Blacks, next door. This is Sirius, he looks about your age, isn't that nice? And I'm Kathleen."
"Oh hi, I'm Lily," the girl said, "Come on in. Let me go grab the rest of my family." Lily left the entrance hall. Sirius and his mother entered the house.
" Oh, wow, mum! Look, someone goes to Hogwarts!" Sirius shouted as he grabbed the piece of parchment off the chest and trust it into his mothers face.
Lily and her family walked into the entrance hall. They all walked in with large, artificial smiles plastered on their worried faces.
Before any of the Evans could say anything, Sirius yelled, "I go to Hogwarts, too!" as he excitedly waved the piece of flimsy parchment in the air.
Petunia, who was wearing all purple, leapt back about five feet, her index fingers forming a cross. Her loud squeak echoed through the entrance hall.
"PETUNIA ROSEMARY EVANS!" Mrs. Evans yelled, "THAT IS NO WAY TO TREAT GUESTS. UP TO YOUR ROOM RIGHT NOW, YOUNG LADY"
"Mom, I don't have a room yet."
"DON'T SMARTMOUTH ME!" Mrs. Evans yelled, taking a step towards her daughter.
Petunia sprinted upstairs in a flash of purple.
"Hey, Lily, do you want to come to my house to meet some of my friends from Hogwarts?" Sirius asked
"I guess," Lily said as Mrs. Black nudged her out of the door.
*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily and Sirius were sitting in the Blacks' basement, talking all about Hogwarts, when all of the sudden someone stepped out of the fireplace next to the table where they were sitting.
"Lily, this is my girlfriend Liz," Sirius said
"Oh, sorry, I'll leave if you want me to," said Lilly nervously.
"No, no, the others are coming soon," Liz said and turned to Sirius, "You know how bad Jess is at using floo powder."
Liz looked to be about 5'2", kinda short for a 15 year old. She had light brown hair with gold highlights. From where Lily stood it looked like she had bright green eyes. Liz looked as if she had a lot of pep in her small body. Liz was wearing a purple halter and a pair of jeans.
She walked over and gave Sirius a light kiss.
All of a sudden another girl tumbled out of the fireplace. Lily assumed this was Jess by the way she slid across the floor.
Jess was taller than Liz .She was around 5'7". She had dark brown hair, almost black, that she was wearing in a messy bun. Blue eyes that sort of sparkled. And a cute little nose the stuck out a bit. Jess was wearing a white, single strap top and gray sweats.
Jess noticed Lily and said, "Hey, I'm Jess. And you are…?"
"Oh, hi, I'm Lily. I live next…"
Before Lily could finish, yet another figure stepped out of the fireplace.
The Figure was quite tall, about six feet. He didn't look as athletic as Sirius. He had sandy brown hair and soft gray eyes. He was wearing black robes.
"Remus, why are you wearing robes?" Sirius asked.
"My mum wanted me to brake them in and said that if I didn't, that she'd take my wand away."
"Oh, ok. This is Lil…"
"We know. She just told us." The girls said together.
"Oh, sorrrrrrrrrrry!" Sirius remarked sarcastically.
"'S ok, Siri' we don't blame you for being the idiot you are!" Liz chuckled.
"Wormtail and Prongs couldn't make it," said Remus.
"Who?" Lily asked.
"They're our other friends," answered Jess.
The rest of the day the teenagers spent talking about magic and Hogwarts. The friends told Lily that hopefully she would be on Gryffindor. Liz talked about her joining the cheerleading squad, (They took out the cheerleading squad 3 years before Harry came) Liz was the captain for the Gryffindor squad. Lily learned that Jess, Sirius, and this friend of theirs –Prongs- what a weird name, are on the Quidditch team. Jess was the keeper, Sirius a beater, and Prongs, the captain and a chaser.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily went home at 9:30 and spent the next day unpacking and thinking of her new friends and Hogwarts. On Monday she was off to camp FSE.
