Chapter 1
Lily woke up to listen to Petunia's awful voice. She was fussing over her hair, and how to have it tonight for her first date with a Mr Vernon Dursley. It had been 3 months of Petunia obsessing on how to snatch Vernon from her best friend, then how to get him to be hers and now how to wear her hair. Lily got up and went over to her calendar to cross of another day to her birthday when she realised that it was her birthday today; August 23. As she raced into the kitchen to make herself breakfast, when she got into the kitchen she found at least hanging on the chair a new billabong tee and a Roxy mini on the table she saw blueberry pancakes. As she went over to take a better look at the clothes she suddenly jumped and turned around as her mother (Rose) and farther (Dave) screamed
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY".
Lily ran up and hugged her parents for her wonderful gifts and then began to eat.
Later on I'll take you shopping" Rose begun as Petunia walked in,
"WHAT! Mother can I come too, I can help Lily chose the best" Petunia said with a pleading smile on her face.
"Lily this decision is entirely up to you as you're a big 1, 1 today" Rose said kindly.
"Umm, think umm, yes alright" Lily said trying to be nice,
"Thanks sooo much Lily" Purtuna said, but it was only Lily that noticed a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
"Yes now as I was saying you'll have $150 to spend, we'll properly go at about noon" Rose said now getting up to clean the dishes.
Lily grabbed her new clothes and left the kitchen, as she was going up the stairs a letter flew under the door. She quickly went up to her room and got changed into her new clothes that she would go shopping in and went down to get the letter and give it to her parents. She picked up the letter and read:
Miss L. Evens,
Bedroom to the left after the Stairs,
3 Atami Av
Little Whinging
Surrey
She raced to the kitchen and said to her mother "look mother I've got a letter, and on my birthday too, I'm lucky."
"Well open it all ready I want to see who it's from" said Rose.
"Yes sweetie open it" said Dave wondering who it's from.
When Lily opened it she read it and gasped. Then she dropped the letter by mistake and screamed. Her mother and father picked up the letter and read. The letter read;
Dear Miss Evens,
We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find an enclosed list of all the necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1st.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
Lily took the envelope to find a sack with a note, a ticket to the Hogwarts Express with a note and a piece of parchment in the envelope. Lily guessed that the parchment was the list of books and equipment. But she didn't know what was in the sack. She took the sack and read the note;
This is Floo Powder; it is an easy way to travel around,
Step 1: Step into your fire place
Step 2: Grab a small hand full of Flew Powder
Step 3: Say Diagon Alley (hint. take the sack with you)
Step 4: Buy all your equipment
Step 5: Go to the Leaky Cauldron
Step 6: Step into the fire place and say your address
Step 7: Now that you're at home save the rest of Floo Powder for later
Please Note: No muggles (non magic people) can use to travel by Flew powder
Next Lily looked in the envelope and got out the ticket and read;
Platform 9¾ at Kings Cross
1st September
"What the?" said Dave, "there's no such place"
"Read the note darling," replied Rose
Lily got the note off the ticket and read aloud;
To get onto the Hogwarts Express just walk through the barrier between platform 9 and 10 from Kings Cross Station
OR
If you still have Floo Powder go into your fire and call Platform 9¾ but muggles will have to stay at home
So is that what were called, muggles, sounds like maggots," said her father looking hurt, "I'm not a maggot."
"Who cares," started Rose, "So, Lily do you want to, to, this Hogwarts place"
"Well," started Lily as she took out the her booklist, "I want to go but the books and equipment look expensive"
"If you really want to go then maybe we can buy your things second hand," said Rose
"Or what if I use my birthday money to buy my stuff first hand" Lily said hopefully
Lily's parents looked at each other and then finally Dave said, "Of cause you can, but only if you want"
"Yes thankyou mum, thankyou dad, but I'll have to shop alone because muggles can't travel by Floo Powder," Said Lily starting to get very excited
"Well you're very mature so I think it will be alright," said Rose looking proud
"Yes you can go, what about at noon, but make sure that you call us at the Leaky Cauldron before you come home ok," Dave said
"I'll go tell Petunia the good news," said Lily eagerly, maybe she'll respect me now Lily thought as she raced up to Petunia's bedroom.
"Hey Pet I've got some really good news,"
"What do you want?" snapped Petunia as Lily walked in.
Lily noticed that Pets (Petunia) face was covered in what looked like squashed avocado.
"EWW, what is that," asked Lily
"It's a face mask, it makes my skin feel and look beautiful," said Pet acting like a false snob
"That's not beautiful, it makes you look like you missed your mouth," smirked Lily
"Shut Up, and what do you want?" said Pet
"I've got some good news," started Lily
"What is it?" asked Pet looking bord
"I'm a witch and I'm going to a witch and wizard school called Hogwarts," Lily said proudly
"FREAK" Pet screamed as she slammed the door in Lily's face
Lily went back down stairs to find her mother and father question her about what was the screaming about
"What was that about Lils," asked Dave
"Pet just screamed that I was a freak," Lily complained
"I'll have a word to her about that, she's suppose to be proud like us," Rose added
"I think I shall get a move on," Lily said looking at her watch
"Sure, but make sure that you take your phone," replied Dave
"I will dad," answered Lily
Lily took the sack and her purse that her mother had given her which had $500 in and $150 in her pocket.
"D-Dia-gon Alley" Lily coughed as she took a small handful of Flew Powder
Lily went spinning as she went up in flames, turning in nearly every direction, suddenly she felt like she was falling out of thin air
Oh no I must not have got enough Floo Powder, Lily thought as she hit the ground in a cold fire place. Lily rushed out of the fire place as she dusted her self of. Lily saw an old man come towards her. Lily was so scared that she ran as fast as she could out of the store. She looked up and saw a sign above of the door that she came through it read:
Borgin and Burkes
Lily had never heard of a place like that before, but then she remembered that she had only just heard of Hogwarts earlier that morning.
"Come with me, dear," said a black hooded man
"No thank you, sir," mumbled Lily, "I'm fine"
The man grabbed Lily and pushed her against the wall, and heeled a knife up high
"Give me your money," yelled the man, "NOW"
Lily was too scared to move, how did she get in this position Lily thought to herself. The man flung the knife at her; his grip was very tight on the knife so she couldn't push it away. What was going to happen to her now she thought miserably.
