Ok, sorry it took so long to get the first chapter up! I've been scatterbrained, tis the weekend you know. wink Well on with the story! (BTW, this is a sad fic, but there'll be little sprinklings of humor written in.)
Disclaimer: I own nothing, except for my sanity, but since that ran off I have nothing. wink
They were both born on the second of October. From the moment they saw each other in the delivering room, they were inseparable. Two healthy and beautiful baby girls, Lily and Petunia Evans. Small with curly reddish brown hair, big green eyes that would make you melt, Lily was the older twin by about two seconds. Little with curly black hair and brown eyes was Petunia.
The twins had just gotten dropped off at their little preschool. Lily looked at Petunia, they were ready to have some fun. Going over to their teacher, they asked for some finger paints. Little did their teacher know that Lily and Petunia didn't put paint on paper. It took the teacher a long time to figure out that their school was getting a bit of a extreme makeover. (cough cough Ty P. smirks) As the teacher scolded them, her hair started to turn a bright weasley red. The twins could not suppress their amusement.
"Mwisis K. Yow haiw is awl wed!" Petunia's baby words were hard to interpret. Lily brought over a mirror to show 'Mwisis K.' What she looked like.
Petunia and Lily were in the corner for the rest of the day for that. Though it was silly, how could two four year-olds change a person's hair color? (cough cough)
They didn't stay in that school for too long. When they started real school, their parents decided that they should be home schooled.
One day, Lily and Petunia were playing chess in the front room of their house. It was the second of August, the twins were both eleven years and a month old. Petunia was winning the game and was about yell 'checkmate' when the strangest thing happened.
A huge, regal looking white snowy owl flew into the room through the open window. It dropped two letters into the laps of the stunned twins and flew right back out again.
Lily raised her eyebrows at her twin, "What was taht on about?" Unable to hide her amusement, she wanted to know if this was some sort of joke. Petunia gingerly took the letter from her lap and looked at it.
Petunia Evans

Melms, Liverpool
"Look at your letter luv!" She said to her awestruck sister.
Lily raised her eyebrows again, "Well, lets open them! They are most definitely for us!"
The two sisters opened their envelopes which were sealed with a purple stamp. Inside Lily's letter, it read:
Dear Ms. Lily Evans,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry....
More followed in the letter, but that was as far as the twins got.
"Is there something mum and dad never told us? Or is this some big hoax?" Lily asked.
To find out, they talked to their parents, who knew just as much as they did, because they had just gotten a letter as well from the headmaster of this "Hogwarts".
Just as the twin's parents were saying this, someone rang the doorbell. Everyone went to see who it was. Opening the door, the strangest man was there to greet them.
He had pearly greyish white eyes and small oval glasses. Instead of a shirt and pants he wore a blood red robe. On his head he wore a curious looking cone hat. His smile was warm and inviting.
"Hello there! My name is Armando Dippit! The current headmaster at Hogwarts, good to meet you all finally. It is my job every year to acquaint the muggle.. er, I mean non-magic people with our wizard's world. So if you will all grab this old boot," out of his robes came the dirtiest boot ever. "We will be on our way."
Everyone grabbed the boot and they were all flying through the air it seemed. The feeling your got in your navel was unpleasant, seeing as it felt like it was being pulled out. The "ride" stopped right in front of an old tavern.
Dum dum duuum! Yes I know tis not a good cliffhanger, but it's 1:27 am here and I want some shuteye. So everyone be lovely little fan fic-ers and make some reviews for yours truly! Feel free to critique anything you see! Till the next chapter,
-Meriwether weasley
