A/N: Here's the new chapter, hopefully I'll get it added soon. Thanks to all who reviewed, I can't individually thank people though as doesn't want that anymore. I've figured out that with school I should get at least one chapter per each of my stories other then the one, posted up, and then maybe more if I work on it lots on the weekends. Sound good? I think it does.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter isn't mine, the only payment I get from this story is the great enjoyment of writing it, no actual $ profit.

Chapter Two: Witchy Lady
Lily decided that it would be best for her if she went back into the house. She was still upset with her mother, but she was her mother, and she couldn't stay mad at her forever. Sighing, she climbed down from the tree house, only to see her mother with her eyes cold and her arms crossed waiting far from pleasantly at the bottom. Lily opened her mouth to speak, but her mother clamped it shut with her hand.
"DON'T speak. Lillian Evans you are 11 years old and you are living in my house. You will live by my rules, and you will do what I think is best for you. This phony Hogwarts school is not what's best for you. Timeless is. You will go THERE, because it is the best school in Britain and it is an honor to be accepted at that school. You will not cry, complain or whine. It IS the school you will be going to, and that is final. Now you will go back inside that house and you will burn that Hogwarts letter you so stupidly will not let go." Mrs Evans demanded. Her face was red from shouting so much, and Lily began to cry despite what her mother had said. She ran back up into the treehouse and pulled the ladder up so her mother couldn't get up.
"NO! I WON'T! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!" Lily screamed. Her mother shouted back, but Lily plugged her ears and rocked back and forth. She would not have her life decisions made for her. This decision would affect her whole life and she deserved a say in it. Her mother wouldn't even listen. She just wished her mother would go away, leave her alone!
"Lillian Evans you WILL go to Timeless even if I have to MAKE YOU!" Mrs Evans screamed up to her. Lily walked out of the treehouse onto the little platform, glaring at her mother, who's voice was suddenly silenced immediately. She opened her mouth to speak, but no sounds came out. Lily gasped and jumped out of her tree house.
"Mom? MOM! What happened? Why aren't you talking!" Lily demanded, very worried. Oh what have I done! I just wished she would stop shouting and now she can't talk! Oh no... Lily thought to herself. She tried to wish for her mothers voice to return, but no such luck. Her mothers voice was gone. Well, at least she can't shout at me anymore... Lily thought deviously.
For the rest of the day, her mother attempted shouting, but was still unable to. Lily figured it was just because her mother had shouted herself out, and paid no attention to it. When her mother's voice returned, she would talk more about her school situation then. Her father came home and immediately asked Lily why her mother was incapable of speaking.
"Oh, she's just resting her voice, she used it a lot today so it hurts her a little to talk, I think," Lily replied. She looked at her mother who shook her head furiously, but her father didn't notice.
"Ah, I see. Well, what's for dinner?"
Lily's mother did not regain her voice at all during the night. Petunia cast suspicious looks over at Lily but said nothing throughout dinner. They were finally all siting in the living room watching a movie when suddenly there was a loud banging on the door. Lily got up and answered it, and stumbled back in shock. A huge man with wild black hair was standing in the doorway, looming high above her. He pushed her aside and entered the house. Lily's mother went to talk, but was still unable to do so. The man muttered something and her voice came back.
"...how did you do that?" Mrs Evans replied, her voice barely above a whisper. The man said nothing, but looked at the fireplace where Lily's letter set. She had not put it in the fire, and as her mother couldn't talk before, she couldn't tell her to. He walked over to it and picking it up, handed it to Lily.
"I assume that you have read this," he replied. Lily nodded her head, her eyes wide.
"Good, good..." he replied. He sat down in an armchair, assuming that he was welcome there.
"Who do you think you are, barging in here like you own the place? This is my house and you weren't invited in it." Mrs Evans shouted. Lily covered her ears as Mrs Evans went on and on about how people shouldn't intrude if they aren't welcome. The man held up a pink umbrella.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, madam, but did I not give you your voice back?" the man replied. Mrs Evans was at a loss for words for a moment.
"Well... I don't really know that, do I? I probably just lost my voice..." Mrs Evans trailed off. The man snorted and began laughing loudly. Lily looked around for a place to hide, as she was afraid that he would burst and explode in her living room. "And just what may I ask is so funny?" Mrs Evans asked.
"Well, the fact that you think you just lost your voice. That was no accident... you made your daughter Lily there angry, and as a result, she incidentally did magic." the man replied. Lily gasped, Mrs Evans needed to sit down, but her father laughed loudly.
"HA! You expect us to believe that bull? Magic, my god you think you can fool us with that? I have some news for you sir, magic is not real, in any way shape or form." Mr Evans confirmed. Lily looked crestfallen... her father had to be right... after all, once you were over a certain age, parents no longer found it cute when children said they saw things that others couldn't, or when they believed they could do magic. After a certain age, children were expected to know better. But really... what proof is there that magic isn't real? Lily thought to herself.
"Sir..." Lily finally spoke up, "Tell me... my mother... she doesn't like the idea of me going to this... Hogwarts... place... she shouted at me. If I was angry, would that be a cause of why she lost her voice?" Lily asked. The man nodded.
"By the way, me name's Rubeus Hagrid, but most people just call me by my surname, Hagrid. I'm here to take you to London... with your parents, if they will cooperate... to buy your school supplies." Hagrid shook Lily's hand, which felt tiny in comparison. Her parents were shocked... they were basically being told what future their daughter would lead.
"What makes you think that we'll allow our daughter to go to such a school, if it even exists?" Mr Evans replied angrily. Lily, for the first time, got brave and stepped forward.
"Possibly because of the fact that I for sure don't want to go to that school the two of you want me to, and I want to go to Hogwarts. It's a chance to learn something I've never even heard of before, a chance to actually start fresh. Going to that other school I'm just going to feel like I'm surrounded by self-centered people. I know they'll be like that because I've seen the type that go to that school. Hogwarts is for anyone who gets accepted, and not everyone is always really intelligent. Some are far from it. I understand that I'm still a child," Lily continued, "but don't I at least get some say in what school I want to go to? Its my future, my life, I should be allowed some say, but your not giving me any at all." Mr and Mrs Evans looked at each other. Whether they wanted her to go to Hogwarts or not, they knew she was right. They were being selfish. The thought of having a daughter so intelligent that she got accepted in the greatest school in Britain, well.. It was very overwhelming. Then, there was this school that their daughter really wanted to go to, that they had never heard of before and in their world had no popularity at all whatsoever. But it was what Lily wanted... so what mattered most? She was a bright girl, and if after one year she didn't like Hogwarts or it wasn't what she expected, she could still go back to the other school. It wouldn't take her long to catch up, and maybe she would enjoy that school better if she knew the one she wanted to go to was actually no good. It was a tough decision, but they only wanted their daughter to be happy. That's really all that any parent wanted. Sighing, Mr Evans spoke up.
"Alright. She can go to this, this... Hogwarts... but if there are ANY problems whatsoever she is leaving that school and never returning to it. She will forget entirely about it and go to Timeless, and that will be that."
A/N: VERY short chapter, but I wanted to get this chapter out since I will eventually be studying for next weeks exams (ugh, I hate exams... we can't even leave our classrooms... although we are allowed in the library... hmmm... me thinks I may just go and write a chapter for one of my fanfics... perhaps, anyways.). I hope you liked this chapter. In the next one, Lily will briefly go to Diagon Alley and then get on the train to Hogwarts. It won't be so detailed after that chapter though, and we'll probably skip a few weeks here and there, as I do intend for this story to go through their whole Hogwarts experience. Probably not much more 'home' stuff wrote, for the summer parts anyways, although during Christmas Holidays (in the story, I mean) I'll probably write more.
