Chapter One- The Owl
'Oh Lord, there at it again, wonder what it's about this time' Lily thought. She crept downstairs and paused outside the lounge room door, at first she heard nothing but then her mothers shrill voice penetrated the air, "What the hell do you mean the girls are probably witches, they don't exist" Lily opened the door a crack just as an owl flew into the room, she gave a great gasp and her father turned and smiled, "come in sweetie, I take it you heard your mother and mine's little,er, conversation"
Lily hung her head and nodded expecting to be punished but instead felt herself being swept from the air and into her fathers strong arms. "Don't worry sweetie" now lets answer that owl. Lily looked at her father as if he was crazy and watched as he tried to grab the tawny owl that was fluttering around the living room, it dodged his many attempts to catch it and so, finally losing patience he whipped out what looked to be a long thin stick and muttered 'Petrificus Totalaus'
Lily gasped as the beautiful owl froze and her father pulled an envelope off its foot, read the front, smiled and handed it to Lily. it was made of a yellowish, heavy sort of parchment, and had her name Lily Carolyn Marie Evens written on the front in emerald green ink, suddenly Lily clicked, "dad" she asked in confusion, "Why isn't there one for Petunia?" "Well it seems only you are a which, not both of you as I thought" "But how come you never told mum or me or petunia before?" Suddenly it looked to Lily as if her dear father had aged 20 years. "Well you see there are some wizards and witches that go bad, there was one and he led them all, some joined him on the dark of there own free will, but some , usually the most powerful ones, he had to put under a curse. the headmaster of Hogwarts, where you will soon be attending, has spies tracking what this evil man is doing, and his spies told him that they were planning on trying to get me on the dark side"
Lily gasped, "Why you though daddy" "Well you see, ah hello Albus"Lily screamed, there was a head in the fire. "Lily this is Albus Dumbledore your new headmaster "Hello dear, attending Hogwarts this year are we" "Um yea" said lily- a little intimidated by the man "Anyway, I Know You wanted to wait to do the test, but if Lily is to attend Hogwarts we must determine if she is as powerful as we think." Steve Evans suddenly looked worried "but what of the side effects" "That is a chance we must take" "Well, if you must"
"Ahem, don't I get a say in this" said Lily looking up from her letter "what is this test for anyway" "Oh no, please tell me you have explained it to her" finally lily lost patience "WOULD SOMENONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT I GOING ON" "Lily your father is the most powerful kind of wizard alive, he is a Monark, and we need to test to see if you are one too." "Umm ok I spose, what do I have to do." Dumbledore smiled warmly "Maybe I should come over" Lily gasped as the head was pulled out of the fire. "Dad, where did that old dude go" "Have you all forgotten about me" Lily turned, indeed she had forgotten about her mother. "I will not allow my daughter to become a freak, what about Pet, she doesn't need to be exposed to that, both of you, you freaks will get out of my house before I call the police." "calm down honey, there is nothing wrong with being." "I WILL NOT CALM DOWN GET OUT, NOW" "Come on lily, we can go to Hogwarts" Steve muttered a spell under his breath and 6 suitcases came down, followed by all of Lily's clothing, witch before lily's fascinated eyes folded themselves neatly and packed themselves into 3 of the suitcases, before the same happened with his clothes.
"Mum please, I don't want to leave, I love you" "Get away from me, freak" Steve strode over and slapped his wife with all the strength he could muster. "Lily is your baby daughter and she is not a freak, she is gifted, we will leave but when we do you will not be allowed to talk to her, or have any contact with her AT ALL, Lily lets go to Hogwarts."
POP "oh my, what seems to be the problem here?" Albus Dumbledore had just apperated into the hall. "Albus would we be allowed to lodge at Hogwarts until we find a more permanent residency" "Oh, I'm sure that won't be necessary" "Oh yes it bloody well is necessary, I will not have freaks in my home, what about Pet."
"WHAT ABOUT LILY SHES YOUR DAUGHTER TOO" "She is no daughter of mine" at this last statement, poor Lily ran out blinded by her tears and tore off down the road. Steve made to go after her but was stopped by Dumbledore, "let her go she needs space, we shall go to one of my homes, and you can live there, we can track her and pick her up later"
MEANWHILE
Lily ran and ran until she could run no more. She collapsed on a park bench, struggling not to break down and cry. She rocked back and forth going over what had happened in her mind. Is it true she wondered am I a witch. 'Hey' said a voice from beside her 'are you ok what's up' Lily jumped 'Who are you?' 'I'm James, James Potter, are you alright, why are you crying' 'It's a long story' 'Hey, I've got all night' 'Umm ok, well today I got a letter from my new school and my mum started saying my dad and I are freaks and she, she said we had to move out because she doesn't want my sister near us' at this point Lily gave a huge choking sob and collapsed into a flood of tears. 'Oh you poor thing is there anything I can do' 'Well I suppose I should try to cheer up and think about something else' 'Never fear my dear, James the clown to the rescue!!!' at this he swept Lily of her feet and carried her around the kiddie's park and back to their bench, the both of them laughing wildly the whole time 'So what's your name little lady' 'My name is Lily and I'm not little!' 'Lily who?' 'Lily Evans" "oh my gosh, are you Steve Evans kid' 'Uh yea, why, do you know him?' 'Umm, year he is only the most famous wizard alive today, oh man this is so great I never knew there were more of our kind around here, but then I wouldn't 'cause you dad's been in hiding for 15yrs.' 'In hiding- why?' At that instant there was a POP and Albus Dumbledore appeared in front of them and said 'Lily, dear I think its time to come to my place now' 'Oh ok then, cya James' 'Uh bye" said James, his mouth hanging open, apparently in awe that Lily was on speaking terms with the old man. Dumbledore slung one arm around Lily and dissaperated, taking Lily with him and leaving behind a very shell shocked James
