posting anything on FanFiction.Net. I hope everyone enjoys it, and I hope
to get some good feedback, so review, review, review!
Disclaimer: I do not own any Harry Potter related materials. The only things that are mine are the plot and anything you don't recognize.

Rating: PG
Special Thanks: This is a special thanks to Ljstagflower4e/Jctigerwolf4e for helping me realize the HUGE mistake I made when I first uploaded. Thank you SOOOOO much!
Ch. 2 I'm a WHAT?
The next morning Lily woke up in a better mood. She'd forgotten all about being angry with her family, as she changed into bell bottomed jeans and a blue tank top. She was about to go downstairs for breakfast when she heard a noise coming from outside her window. Re-entering the room, she went to the window and looking outside, she was shocked. Fluttering right outside was.
"Is that an owl?" she asked out loud, almost as if expecting someone to answer. She opened the window and it flew in. She noticed that it had something tied to its scrawny leg. Lily, not being afraid of animals, scooped it out of its flight, untied the envelope from its leg and sent it flying back out the window. The envelope, made of parchment she noticed, and addressed to Lily, bore these words:
Ms. Lily Evens
The Yellow Bedroom
Evans Manor
130 London Lane
London
Lily broke the wax seal on the envelope, after noticing a crest
showing a lion, snake, raven, and some kind of furry animal, possibly
a badger. She peered curiously down at the letter, which after she had
read, she wished she had sat down, first.

Witch thought Lily, letting it sink in. Witch. I'm a witch. It took a minute for it to finally click in her brain, then.
"OH MY GOSH I'M A WITCH! Mum! Dad!" screamed Lily as she tore down the wooden steps, completely forgetting the fact that she was mad at them. "Mum! Dad! You'll never believe it!"
"What is it, dear?" Carolyn asked in a worried tone.
"I'M A WITCH!"
"Lily, has Petty been calling you names again?" asked her father tiredly.
"No, Dad! You don 't understand. I'm a witch, Dad, a real one. Look at this." She thrust the letter at her parents who read it confusedly. When they finally understood they were ecstatic.
"Oh my gosh Lily, congratulations!" shrieked her mother in delight.
"A real witch in the family, wow." stated her father in awe.
"So I can go to this Leaky Cauldron place tomorrow?"
"Of course." replied Carolyn. Petunia chose that moment to walk into the kitchen.
"What's going on?" she asked sleepily.
"I'm a witch." Lily informed her sister, proudly.
"Well duh. I already knew that." Petunia said in a bored tone.
"No Petty, a real one." Replied Lily, shoving the letter in her sister's face.
"You-you're a WITCH! STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU FREAK!" And with that, Petunia stormed out of the kitchen.
"Don't worry lily, Petty will come around sooner or later." said her mother wisely, as Lily sat down to her breakfast of French toast and bacon. But Lily hardly heard her mother, for she was too busy thinking.
This was the chance she'd been waiting for. She knew that there was something better out there for her. She knew she didn't belong here, but that she belonged in another world. She vowed that she'd make friends in her new school. Friends that she could always count on and that could always count on her.
Friends that she'd always dreamed about having.
A/N: Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed. I'm trying to get 5 reviews for each chapter, and every review counts!
