Their Journey to Realization
Chapter 1: The most amazing day of my life.
On a slow Tuesday morning out in the suburbs there was a young girl no older than eleven gazing out onto the horizon. This young girl had medium length auburn hair and shockingly bright green eyes. Now this is no ordinary girl and not just because of her appearance. Oh there is so much more to it than that . . .
"Lilian Sophia Evans, what are you doing up this early?" asked a middle- aged woman in a pale green bathrobe.
"I could ask you the same thing." replied the fiery red head, looking at the doorway where her mother was standing.
"All right you caught me!" answered her mother smiling. "I couldn't sleep, and how about you?"
"Well mum, I like to watch the sunrise. It seems to calm me and I guess I'm just a bit restless ."
"That's quite all right dear but I think you better march right back to bed after your done watching."
"Okay mum."
Her mother walked up to the window sill where her daughter was sitting, and kissed her forehead, "You know I love you right?"
"Of course I do." answered Lily with a grin.
Her mother returned the grin and walked back to her bedroom.
Now who could ask for more? This girl has parents that love her to death and a happy life but for some reason Lily always felt like an outcast, a loner and not without good reason. This girl has been able to make things "happen." When Lily was six years old, her older sister Petunia had pushed Lily into a mud puddle and made Lily cry. However, mere moments later Petunia's entire body was covered with nasty, hairy warts! They lasted for two weeks and the warts are what made Petunia begin calling her sister "freak." If that wasn't enough to get Petunia to leave Lily alone; When Lily was eight Petunia had destroyed her doll house by throwing it down the staircase. Well Petunia didn't have any time to gloat because seconds later she was thrown down the stairs by some "mysterious force." Well that was enough to get her to leave Lily alone. Actually a number of these "events" had been enough to get the entire school and neighborhood to leave Lily Evans alone. However Lily didn't mind it, she was used to it. To make up for her lack of friends she turned to books and let them take her on adventures she only wished could happen. No matter the strange happenings with Lily, both her parents loved her dearly and this caused her sister to hate her more bitterly. Now back to the window . . .
Lily Evans was looking out to the sky thinking about life and such. "Why is my life so dull? I mean why couldn't it be more exciting? What I would do for some friends and an adventure . . ."
Her thoughts were cut short when the the sky started to turn from bleak gray to several types of pink, yellow, orange, purple, and blue all at once.
"This is beautiful. I can't believe that so many people chose to sleep through this." Lily thought sleepily.
She stifled a yawn and thought, "I better get to bed soon."
Just then a large tawny owl fluttered down from the beautifully colored sky and landed right on her dresser. This startled Lily so much that she fell right of her spot by the window. She had never seen an owl at night, let alone at dawn and here was this owl acting as it does this all the time. The owl stretched out its leg with a letter attached to it. Lily just stared at the owl thinking she was dreaming until it hooted sounding a little annoyed.
"Lily are you in bed yet?" echoed her mother's voice from downstairs.
Lily managed to croak out, "N..No."
"Well why not?"
"Mum, I think you better come here quickly!"
As her mother climbed the stairs, "Now Sweetie, what can be so important that you called me up . . . Oh dear is that an owl?!?"
"I think so. It has a letter." Lily replied.
"A letter?!?" her mother answered perplexed.
The owl now very annoyed about waiting so long gave a loud hoot.
"Well Lily I think you better take it from him."
The frightened young girl slowly approached the owl and removed the letter from its leg. The owl ruffled his feathers and than as quickly as it came it flew out of the window and left.
With the strange letter in hand Lily began to study it. It was slightly heavy, made of a yellow parchment, and had a wax seal with four animals, a lion, a badger, an eagle, and a snake, surrounding the letter H. On the other side of the envelope was a her address.

She soon gave the envelope to her mother to read. She had the same stunned look Lily had. Who was this letter from? Her mother returned the letter to Lily and whispered so softly, it was like she was afraid if she spoke too loud the letter might explode, "Open it dear." Lily took back the letter and her hands began to shake sightly. She ripped the seal and took out the letter in it. Her eyes popped when she began reading it and only gave it to her mother after studying it seven times to make sure it was real. When her mother had finished reading the letter she looked at Lily sightly paler than before and uttered an "Oh.."
"Felix. Felix! You better get in here NOW!"
While her mother went to wake up her father Lily thought, "Wow what a day."

Well this is the first chapter. What do you think please review! I hope it was okay and that it wasn't TOO painful to go through. Oh my disclaimer. I own pretty much nothing. You know what, I own absolutely nothing just to make sure I won't get sued by J.K.Rowling. She came up with everything, duh! I mean hello she did come up with Harry Potter. (She's a Great Writer and I'm a big fan.) And you're an idiot if you think I actually own this. To all you readers tell me what you think (about the chapter). The next chapter will be up real soon okay. Also as a discussion I want to know people's opinions on Cho Chang. Thank you to everyone who read this! (I wave good-bye and smile)
