Lily patted her sister's head and slowly rocked her to sleep. "I love you Lil," sighed Petunia. "I love you too," said Lily and she slowly lifted her sister onto her bed and closed the light. "You can come with me tomorrow Pet, when we figure out how to buy my supplies! It's going to be a big day!"

Chapter 1- Changes

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

Lily opened her eyes as the sun filtered through the apple green curtains on her windows. All the memories from the day before flooded back. She was a witch, a real witch. There were only a couple more days until July 31st. The letter only gave a few days for a reply and Lily had to find out what an owl was.

After Lily had left her mother's embrace the day before, her mother had told her to be prepared to go shopping for her wizarding supplies. Lily had wondered all night about how her mother knew about witches and wizards, especially since her mother had an aversion to her game.

"I see that you're up."

Lily jumped at the cool voice behind her.

"Who- o are you?" Lily whispered, voice quaking.

"Your aunt three times removed."

The woman was wearing flowing green robes with red roses the hemmed the sleeves occasionally rotating.

"You're a witch! Am I right? And you're my Aunt!" Lily tried to stammer a response.

"Yes," she gave a fake smile and then whispered under her breath "unfortunately."

Lily was too elated at the affirmative response that she failed to hear the menacing phrase that came afterwards. She almost jumped on the woman had the woman not backed a way and extended her hand.

"My name is Malia Cameron. Your great- great- grandmother had two daughters, one muggle, and one witch. We have left our muggle side unattended for quite a while until you came along." Malia smiled thinly. "I was called upon by Hogwarts Headmaster Dumbledore to help you buy supplies for your first year at Hogwarts. If you kindly get dressed we will leave soon." At the end of her introduction, Malia swept out of the room.

Lily dressed hurriedly, even more confused then before. What was a muggle? Why did her aunt seem to dislike her so much? Lily shrugged on a pink t-shirt and white shorts pausing to grab a pair of socks out of her drawer.

A shriek prompted Lily to run downstairs and stop, dead in her tracks. Petunia was standing in front of the ugliest girl Lily had ever seen. Petunia was still shrieking when Lily walked down the last few steps to calm her sister down. The girl's hair was matted and dirty blonde, there were tear streaks down her cheeks and her shirt was torn. Lily bit on her lip wondering what this girl was doing in her hallway, and in fact, she was also munching on Lily's favorite muffin, the one her mom made her every morning!

Lily coughed lightly, "Who are you?"

The girl rotated her neck to stare into Lily's eyes, "Your cousin," she replied, in a hoarse voice, "In fact, your cousin three times removed."

Lily shuddered, the girls eyes were dark, almost black, quite a contrast to the dirty blonde hair. "Eh- what's your name?" Lily shuffled her feet slightly; unsure what to say to this girl who seemed so unrefined compared to the Aunt she had just met.

Before the girl could respond, Malia Cameron swung the beads covering the open kitchen door to stand beside her daughter. "This is Candice, my darling daughter who has agreed to accompany you." Malia sniffed, "Are you ready to leave?" Malia's eyes bored into Lily's head just as Candice's had.

"I haven't had any breakfast yet, and I don't have any mon-"

"We must be going Ms. Evans, you'll live without breakfast!" Malia Cameron marched Lily to the living room. Petunia was dragging her feet behind Lily and still quite attached to Lily's hand. Malia glared at Petunia with malice and tried to separate the sisters while also managing to talk. "We'll be traveling by fire, here is some floo power, watch Candice and do what she does." Malia took out a pouch of powder with the hand unoccupied by Petunia and passed it to her daughter.

Lily's mother walked into the room and shoved a purse into Lily's hands while also managing to untangle Petunia when she received a patronizing look from Malia. Mrs. Evans grimaced as Petunia started to wail, "Liiiillly!!!! Lilllyyy!! You promised!! You promised!!!! You said I could coommmeeeee!!!!!!!"

With a variety of pushes and pulls, Mrs. Evans got her youngest daughter out of the room. Lily turned to her aunt, "Can't we let h-" she got no farther then that when she saw Candice step into the fireplace and cry "Diagon Alley!" and disappear in green smoke.

"How- ?" Lily started to ask. Instead she found the bag of floo powder shoved into her face.

"Just take a pinch and shout Diagon Alley, come on, we havn't all day!" Malia tapped her foot in impatience, "Come on, come on!"

Lily gulped and took a pinch of the powder. "Diagon Alley!"

Nothing happened.

"Diagon Alley! Diagon Alley!"

"You have to throw the power down by your feet girl!" Malia groaned.

Lily frantically threw the powder at her feet and screamed "Diagon Alley!"

There was a wooosh and Lily felt the hair blowing around her neck. She opened her eyes when someone suddenly bumped into her.

"Oh, sorry, got to run, bye!" The boy had black hair and was running after someone shouting "Sirius! Wait for me! Sirius!"

Lily started getting out a short apology but stopped when she realized the boy was no longer in sight. What a horrible way to start my first glimpse into the wizarding world, not even managing to be polite. She frowned and decided to look around for her aunt and cousin.

Lily couldn't keep her eyes off all the shops and window displays, especially entertaining were the moving pictures and mannequins. Everything seemed so alive! Lily couldn't get enough of the shops, but as she turned from an especially intriguing window shop of moving chess pieces, she found her aunt looking down at her with a horrible gleam in her eyes.

"What are you doing? Why did you NOT stay where you landed? Do you know that my precious Candice and I have been walking for almost FIVE minutes trying to find you! I would just leave you here if it wasn't for my duties as a witch." Malia grabbed Lily's hand like she was a small child and pulled her over to a deserted corner. "Now you listen to me young lady," she pointed at Lily, "I'm not doing this for you, in fact, I have no qualms at all about hurting you, you filthy Muggle!" Malia spat on the ground, "Now you better follow me, I hope you have some money in that purse of yours, we're going to go to Gringotts to get your money exchanged, can't pay for you out of my own pocket!"

Lily starting to become more and more amazed at her Aunt's behavior. How could her aunt be related at all to the Evan's family? Malia Cameron was a selfish woman who had no love at all for Lily or her family.

Lily was so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she did not see her first glimpse of Gringotts Bank. In fact, they were already inside and an odd looking green person had put out his hand for her money before Lily was aware that anything was happening. She absentmindedly reached into her purse and took out her wallet, a cute pink affair that had a black poodle on it. She pulled out a one hundred pound note and gasped, her parents had never given her this much money. In fact, she had never seen one hundred pound note in her life.

Lily reluctantly handed the money to the odd green person and felt her mind turning wheels over and over, what were these green people? Could she trust them? What was happening? Lily was even more surprised when the little green man handed her a heavy pouch filled with odd shaped rocks.

"60 Galleons, 12 Sickles and 6 Knuts is your change miss"

A new question was added to Lily's whirling brain... these things could TALK?

Unfortunately, before she could question the workings of the building or the little green people, Lily was dragged out of the bank and pushed bodily into a shop. She managed to peak at the sign in front of the shop. It was animated to produce miniature fireworks whenever someone stepped in the shop and it said Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions with changing lights.

Madam Malkin was a squat witch and she waddled over to her three customers. "It has been quite busy today, please sit on a stool," two stools magically found their ways over to Lily and Candice, "and I'll take your measurements."

Lily clambered up onto the stool and she noticed the tape measure taking measures all by itself.

"Hogwarts robes I presume? First years by the look of it, all right you're done. If you'll just sign here for your two daughters' robes ma'am, I'll have them owled to your place of residence."

"They aren't my daughters," Malia said with her teeth clenched, but she signed anyways and took out her money bag to pay Madam Malkin.

Malia stormed out of the shop fuming, "My daughter my snot! What kind of woman is she making silly conclusions?" Malia turned on Lily, "Give me my money, NOW! I want all of it, give it to me! The stuff that I'm buying is worth at least that much if not more!"

Lily gulped; "I... I can't aunt. My parents earned this money and I need to make sure it's used properly."

Malia turned bright red, "Are you saying that I would CHEAT you? You MU- MUGGLE! ((A/N: we all know what she was trying to say... )) Go off on your own then, leave! Buy your own things; I'll settle this with your mother when I get back there. What kind of daughter has she brought up?" Malia continued raving and threw a small bag at Lily, "There, there's some floo powder, can't say I left you without a way to get back. Go buy your own things!" With that Malia dragged Candice off into the crowd leaving Lily there with no idea what to do.
