Many years later............



"Mum, can you come down here a moment? You're not going to believe this."


"What is it love? Is something the matter?"


" No, but read this!"


Lily handed Rosemary a letter written in strange paper as she read it her eyes grew wide, "Oh sweetheart this is wonderful, I always new you were special, and this proves it."


Rosemary discussed with her daughter about her going away to school for hours. Later that day Dilland hugged Lily, and Petunia had a fit.


"She's a freak, she'll turn us all to frogs. I refuse to live with someone with an abnormality"


But nobody paid attention to her, Dilland and Rosemary were to busy talking about details to Lily to pay attention to Petunia. They discussed the abnormal things that Lily was able to do when she was little and asked if they were early signs of her power.



Later that night, Rosemary thought about that man, Lily's father, he was charming, smart, and sophisticated. Everything she wanted in a man, she sometimes cought herself wishing that she were with him and not her husband. She knew that it would never happen but it wouldn't keep her from having those thoughts in her mind.


She sat in a nook in the hallway as she looked out the window looking across the her husbands property and on the gate that opened when cars pulled in and out of the driveway.


'Is he the reason Lily's a witch?'


She sighed and walked into her bedroom where Dilland slept peacefully. She wished she could sleep like him, but she was afraid she would have that misleading dream again...


~ Tom was standing in front of her in a beautiful garden, holding out his hand for her to take, he pulled her to look at him in the eye, she stared into his deep green eyes that shined like becons of light in the dark, and they kissed. The kiss was full of love and tenderness, he would hold her tightly wanting to get closer, and she would hang on to him, not wanting to let go.


When she broke the kiss she looked into his eyes again wanting to see what she saw in them, but this time they were red with black slits. She looked around and saw that she was in a dark forest that set off an eerie blue light, surrounded by people whose faces were hidden under dark cloaks.


She looked back at Tom and saw that he was wearing something similar to the people around them, except that you could still see his face. He held a silver mask in his hand and a long wooden stick in the other.


He hissed, moments later a large black snake would appear slowly advanced towards her until...~


She would wake up screaming. Cold sweat would for on her brow and she would gasp for air as she felt like she was sufficating.


Tonight she tried to stay awake but she ended up being pulled to a restless slumber.

One month before Sept. 1st.

The muggle born students and their parents were to meet at a restaurant at noon to wait for someone to show them were they were supposed to get the students school supplies. While Lilly talked to a girl who was also starting Hogwarts, Rosemary argued with Petunia.


"Mum, why do I have to be here with these freaks, there just like Lilly, couldn't I have just stayed home."


"Petunia, Darling, why must you be so horrid, these people are not "freaks", there human beings. They should be treated with respect."


She thought for a moment," I'll tell you what, if you behave like a Lady then I'll take you shopping for a whole new wardrobe tomorrow, how does that sound?


Petunia looked at her mother with a bright smile, "Deal, but only if I can buy make-up, oh and some shoe's, with high heals."


Rosemary smiled at her daughter, she could see that she won, "All right, but if I hear you say the word "freak" or anything to that effect you're starting the school year with last years fashions."


Petunia looked horrified," Mum, don't scare me like that, please. All right deal."


A few moments later, a woman, no older than 20, entered the restaurant. She had long black hair, in soft curls that hung loosely around her oval shaped face, gray eyes, and a friendly smile on her painted lips. She walked towards the group, and spoke in a voice loud enough for them to hear and soft enough for her not to attract any unwanted attention.


"Hello, my name is Emily and I'll be your tour guide for the day. Now there are a couple of things I need to tell you before we depart. First of all I hope you all brought your school lists. Secondly we will have to stop at Gringotts, the wizarding bank, to exchange your muggle money into Wizard money. Third, after I give you a tour of Diagon Alley you'll have until 4 O'clock to purchase the things on the list, while you are shopping please remember since you are first years you are not allowed to have broomsticks at school until next year."


Complaints were heard from most of the children, when they settled down Emily continued, " however you are allowed to have a pet, either an owl or cat or toad. Now if you'll please follow me, we can start our tour."


They crossed the street and walked into a pub which none of then had noticed before. They walked past people whom were having drinks even though it was the middle of the day. The man behind the counter was drying a shot glasses, he glanced up and nodded to the group, and continued with his task. Emily led them through the bar and out into a small wall courtyard, where there was nothing but a trash can and few weeds.


She took out her wand and walked over to the wall above the trash can. She tapped the wall three times with the point of her wand. The brick she had touched quivered -it wriggled- in the middle, a small hole appeared- it grew wider and wider- a second later they were facing an archway large enough for all of them to pass through, an archway onto a cobbled street that twisted and turned out of site.


" Welcome to Diagon Alley."



AN: please review. If you do I'll give you the next chapter.^_~
