Finding Out You're a Witch
By: SiriuslySweetGryffindor
Chapter 5: The Day Before the Trip
Lily was ecstatic. She'd finished packing after she woke up early that morning. She was so excited she could barely sleep. She reasoned to herself that it was only natural to be so excited about going away to school. Especially, she thought, when you have a sister like Petunia, and your school teaches magic.
Finally Lily decided to get dressed. Not long after she was called down to eat breakfast, before they went out for the day. Happily, Lily complied. After the dishes were cleaned, the Evans' family went out for their daily outing.
At dusk, they finally returned home after a day filled with fun. The family went into the sitting room and started to work through a puzzle. Finally, it was getting late, so Mr. Evans told them all it was time for bed. Petunia sulked and pouted, while Lily happily jumped up and ran to her room to get ready for bed.
Lily climbed into her bed slowly, for the last time for a long while. She sighed softly as she lay down to sleep, hoping she'd actually be able to sleep. Despite the fact that she knew she wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight, she tried nonetheless.
The night droned on and on, but nothing she could think of would help her sleep. She would pet Artemis, try sleeping on the bay window. She even tried the little tent-like cabin thing she had in her room. But nothing worked. So she just lay quietly in her bed until morning.
And since nothing would work, she just lay in bed thinking about the day; a picnic in the park, swinging before lunch, swimming at a pool, and shopping around in muggle London.
