Chapter 2: A Letter & a New Witch Friend
~ Four Years Later ~
Lily Evans was now eleven-years-old. Even though Lily was eleven, she sure didn't look it. If Lily didn't have on any make-up (even though she wasn't aloud to wear it) she looked like a fourteen-year-old. Her long, dark, red hair was even longer, and her emerald green eyes were still the same, only bigger and brighter. Lily was about 4"10', skinny, and tan (she played football (or soccer for you Americans) a lot).
Lily had just woken up with the morning sun in her eyes. Just as Lily got out of her daybed, a snowy owl flew into her room.
"Mum! Dad!" Lily screamed at the top of her lungs. Sure Lily had seen owls at night and in the zoo, but never in the morning! About 10 seconds after Lily had called for her mum and dad they came into running into her room, still in their night things.
"Lily dear what is the mat- OH!" Mrs. Evans cried as she saw the snowy owl still sitting on Lily's bed.
Mr. Evans, being the man he was, walked cautiously over to the owl. He saw that it had a letter attached to it and took it off.
"Shoo, go away now." Mr. Evans said to it, but it just sat there like it was waiting for something. Mr. Evans looked at the envelope. It was addressed to "Miss L. Evans", so he gave it to Lily. She opened it cautiously and after what seemed like eternity to her parents Lily let out a soft gasp and handed the letter to her mum so Mr. & Mrs. Evans could read it, too.
"D-do you th-think I could go?" Lily finally asked, because her parents had been speechless for the past five minutes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After a little persuading and promises to write everyday, Lily was aloud to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. Yes that's right, Lillian Michelle Evans was a witch! Sure, she was a little scared, but Lily had very good people skills and made friends easily.
Two weeks later Lily, her mum and dad, and her sister, Petunia, were all heading for a place called 'The Leaky Cauldron'. After a thirty minute talk with the owner of 'The Leaky Cauldron', his name was Tom, the Evans' family found their way to Diagon Ally. Tom had told them were to get everything that Lily needed for her first year of Hogwarts.
Lily wanted to get her wand by herself, it was the thing she had been waiting for since she had first gotten her letter two weeks ago. So the rest of the family went to go get some ice cream from the parlor down a little ways from Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands. As Lily walked in she ran into a girl about her age (a/n- don't forget, Lily looks like she's 14 and she's only 11 *hint-hint*) with flaming red hair just like Lily's hair was.
"Ugh. sorry about that, I'm just really nervous about getting my first wand and all. what's your name by the way?" Lily could tell that the girl she had run into was just as nervous as she was.
"My name's Lily Evans. What's yours?"
"Well, Lily, my name is Rose Johnson, but just call me Rosie!"
After Lily and Rosie were done getting their wands they started talking about everything. They had so much in common. The only thing that you could tell them apart by was Lily had green eyes and Rosie had blue eyes. They looked so much alike that Mrs. Evans almost took home Rosie instead of Lily! (a/n- lol) Lily and Rosie had agreed to go through the barrier together in September 1st together.
