the great JK Rowling's *sigh*.
"First year students will require: three sets of plain work robes, one pair of dragon hide gloves-" Lily read on when her mother cut her off, "Lily, I really don't think you should go to this school. I mean your father and I haven't even seen this place. You won't know anyone. At Colston, you would at least know Petunia and Sarah." Colston Academy for Girls was where Petunia and Sarah Dettonmeyer, their next-door neighbor went to school. To Lily, it was just another preppy school(not that I have anything against preppy schools, I go to one myself). She desperately wanted to get out of going there SOMEHOW. Petunia and Sarah were(in Lily's eyes)perfect for the school. They had long blonde hair and dull blue eyes and were cheerleaders. "Allie," her father said, "My mother, you know, was a witch who married a wizard named Gerald Evans. I am their only child, and I am what it called a squib. A squib is a non-magical person born to a magical family. I didn't know that magic could be passed through a squib." "You never told me that!" Alexandra Evans shouted, "Why didn't you tell me so I could be prepared in case we had a witch in the family!" Jeremy Evans shouted back, "I never knew until four years ago when my mother died! She told me on her deathbed, for heavens sake! I never thought that one of our daughters could be a witch!" "EXCUSE ME!" Petunia screamed, "Why didn't I get a letter too?" "Petty, you must not be a witch then. I'm sorry. I say that Lily should be allowed to go to this Hogwarts place." Lily grinned. She was finally getting away from her overprotective mother and her over lenient father who never got is way in his own house. But then her mother shattered her hopes. "Lily will not go to this school! And now, girls, it's time for bed. GO!" Lily was shattered. How could her mother, her loving mother, have done this to her? But then she straightened up. She was going to run away.
Hee, I was gonna make a cliffy! But no, I'm too nice to do that!
It was after midnight, and Lily was done packing. She figured that she could get to this Diagon Alley place in London from her home in the outskirts in about 4-5 hours. She had pretended to go to bed earlier, but she really lay low for a few hours, and then she began to pack. Very slowly, she opened her door. She crept into the hall, dragging her trunk Lily barely managed to get it downstairs without waking anyone up. Like a cat, she unlocked the door and stepped out onto the front step. She closed the door and sighed in relief.
It was 3:00 in the morning and Lily had just gotten to the beginning of the Underground. Here Lily could buy a ticket and ride easily to downtown London. The stationmaster was a kind man who allowed her onto the train with no fuss about her being underage at 3 am. She stepped onto the train, huffing and puffing with the effort of dragging her trunk for three hours with almost no rest. She sat down and closed her eyes, and soon she was asleep.
Hope you liked chapter 1! R&R please! It only takes 5 minutes of your time! *begs*
