Chapter 1: The pain in the neck, 985 years later
"Lily's got a letter! Lily's got a letter!" A nasty Petunia teased, holding a small envelope in her hand, over her sister Lily's reach. Petunia was nasty, as well as ugly. Her hair was shiny, smooth, and blonde, but her face, hands, feet, legs, everything else is bony, thin, but well fed. Lily, on the other hand, was average sized, and was hard to take your eyes off. Her hair reflected sunlight so perfectly and was just the right shade of medium orange. Her skin was light peach with a few freckles, and her eyes so beautiful they looked like emeralds. They were too beautiful for words to describe! But she wasn't fed very well at all. Treated like a dog, she only got to eat leftover scarps. There weren't that many. Though she was quite fit, and liked going out for morning jogs. Back to the story, now. Lily got so angry, her eyes turned solid red, and she just couldn't keep it in. "PETUNIA YOU NASTY! GIVE THAT LETTER TO ME AT ONCE!" Lily shouted at the top of her lungs, making her neighbors the Potters (who she barely knew. But their house was really nice.) To look up. Diane, their seventeen year old daughter usually only seen in the summer was out back tanning her perfect skin started to giggle. Diane had black, wavy hair, and freckle-less skin. Lily only usually talked to her (the only Potter she knows) once every month, always in the summer. She never seen Mrs. or Mr. Potter, or their son Jerry. Or was it Jack? Why should it matter? He was always at his friend's house or something. "GIVE IT BACK!" Lily shouted even louder this time forcing the letter in some way into her hand. Petunia tried to grab it with an evil grin, but as soon as Petunia touched it - it shocked her. Again she tried to take it, but it kept on shocking. Lily smirked and Petunia walked away, as tall as she could, with her nose in the air. Lily frowned. Her parents would probably get her in trouble. Like they always do when something strange happens. The answer? Simple. Blame Lily. Like the time at Veronica, a friend of Petunia's, had a pool party. When they both started tormenting her, Lily's eyes turned red as fire and she shouted. Then, when they dumped the whole gallon punch bowl on Lily's freshly groomed hair, she shouted louder, and they were both forced into the pool, Petunia getting her new crystal watch wet, and Veronica's brand new silk dress. Lily was happy, but then when her parents stepped in, Lily almost died from hunger. Back in the story, now. Lily opened the envelope carefully, trying not to rip it. She ripped a tiny bit off, but the piece was blank. It stood there, out folded, staring at Lily. A Hogwarts Acceptance Letter.
