June 28th.. 8:29 a.m

Lily sighed impatiently as she watch out the living room window for the Potter's arrival. She had no clue what their car looked like so each time she saw a car coming around the bend she would smile in hope that it was them. When the car showed no sign of slowing down to pull into the drive way she would sigh again and wonder what destination the car was going to.

"So the freaks arrived yet?"

Lily turned around to glare at her sister. It had been like this since the day the owl had come and given her acceptance letter. After a week and a half of Petunia treating her like this she wished nothing more but to get away from her.

"Leave me alone!"

"What are you going to do if I don't?" Petunia smiled smugly as if daring Lily to do something to her.

"I tell Mum!" Lily replied raising her voice as she spoke so that by the time she had said mum their mother was already at the doorway looking at both of them.

"What's going on here you two?"

"Lily started it!" Petunia pouted trying to look like she was the victim of some horrendous crime.

"I did not!" Lily said loudly.

"Did too!" Petunia said in a louder voice.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not you're the one who started it by calling the Potters freaks!" Lily screamed at the top of her lungs.

"GIRLS STOP IT THIS INSTANCE! WE HAVE GUESTS!" She shouted to get over their voices. Lily instantly stopped and looked at her mother in shock at first by how loud she had told them to be quiet and then by the shock that that they had just fought in front of the guests who had to be the Potters. She blushed a very deep red color and felt mortified that the Potters had heard what she had said. She felt Petunia's cold glare of anger on her and winced as she spoke.

"You knew they were there all along didn't you!" Petunia screeched at her getting into her face. She shook her head no but Petunia didn't believe her.

"Don't lie to me! You just wanted to embarrass me didn't you?"

"Petunia can you please go to your room?" Their mother gave her a stern look that told Petunia she had better go or there would be a punishment. Last time she hadn't gone to her room when she was asked her mother had made her do all the house chores for three months and she had barely been able to hold the club house meetings.

"Fine!" She snarled as she headed out of the room shoving a small boy aside. He gave Petunia a curious look almost as if plotting.

"I'm sorry about my daughter's..." she was cut off by Mrs. Potter

" Don't worry about it my sister was the same way when she found out I was a witch." "Mum was muggle born." The boy said.

"What's a muggle born?" Lily asked confused.

"Some one born with no magical background." Mr. Potter said looking around curiously at all the muggle machinery.

"Oh." she said as if it had made sense to her but it didn't. Mrs. Potter just laughed knowing full well that Lily probably didn't understand.

"Lily dear you'll understand it all soon enough. So are you all set to go?"

"Yes Mam!" receiving a few more laughs from the Potters at her excitement.

"Ok follow me then." Mr. Potter led them into the kitchen to the fireplace.

"Sirius you'll show Lily how it works by going first. Then find James and tell him we'll meet him in Diagon Alley very soon."

"Lily this is floo powder." Mrs. Potter held up the container to show Lily then had Sirius take a handful. He smirked as he stepped into the fireplace and threw it down while hollering 'Diagon Alley!' Bright blue flames shot up and engulfed him. When the flames died out Sirius was no longer there.

Rose looked skeptical about letting her daughter do it when Lily's turn came but after Mr. Potters but Mrs. Potter kept insisting that wizards have traveled like this for thousands of years before the invention of apparition and that apparition was more dangerous then traveling by floo as long as the floo user didn't mispronounce the name of the location they were going to.

Lily nervously took a handful of floo powder and stepped into the fireplace.

"Ok Dear remember what I told you!" Lily nodded as she took a few deep breaths. "Diagon Alley!" she threw the powder down.

"I love you!" was the last thing Lily heard before the deafening sound of the roaring fire surrounded her. She felt her self slide through a small tunnel and slide out she stood in the fire place unsure if she was in the right place but was knocked over by something which knocked the breath out of her.

"Oh.that had to hurt." She looked up trying to say something only to find she was still winded because of the weight on her.

"Peter get off her your crushing her to death with all your blubber!"

"Sor..rry.miss." He stuttered as he got up and looked down at the girl who he knocked over. The shock was evident in his eyes as well as in hers.

"Lily you're a Witch?!"

"You're a Wizard!?" They both asked exactly at the same time.

" So is this your girlfriend or something cause' you two looked mighty cozy down there?" "I'm not his girlfriend." Lily turned around to glare at the owner of the voice.

"But I'm sure you are since you look feminine enough to fit the part."

"Hahaha Carrots that was so funny I almost forgot to laugh."

"Hey James I see you found our dear Miss Lily."

"Don't call me Carrots...Mop boy!"

"Whoa! Hold on you two...you just meet and your already acting like an old married couple!" a girl behind Sirius piped in.

" Fion just go away!" James growled.

"Awww Jamie pooh is that any way to talk to your older sister?" She gave him a mock hurtful look before laughing at the look of annoyance on his face.
