ATTENTION READERS: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE
Hey guys, I have some bad news. I've been writing for about 3 days now, and I'm really not liking where this story is going, it's been pretty boring so far, and i don't like the way I've written this fic. I have decided to start again with longer chapters, and more detail in the story, along with more views from different characters. I will be using all of the same characters, except possibly not Fletcher, and I hope you will read my new story! but, I did get through half of chapter 6, so I decided not to risk getting my account suspended, and I've released it.
I'm really sorry about this. It was a tough decision.
"11! 11 O. !" Lily squealed. "I passed! Emma, swap?" Lily asked cheerfully.
Emma nodded excitedly. Lily read Emma's letter.

"Amazing, Em! You did great! I'm so proud of you! You got an O in Arithmancy! And you were struggling with it a bit, weren't you? All that studying paid off, didn't it?" Lily hugged Emma tightly.
"And you didn't fail a single subject! look at the note they left about your potions grade! The best they have ever seen!"
Lily blushed, and looked at the kitchen counter, and noticing four letters, one for her, one for Emma, and one for each of Emma's sisters. The names were written in green ink.
"Hogwarts letters" Lily and Emma said together.
They opened their letters, and looked down the list of items to buy.
"Mum, can we go on Tuesday? That's when Marlene, Alice and Madi will be there." Emma asked.
"Sure, you can take your sisters with you! I have a meeting on Tuesday, so I can't come," Mrs. Vance told her daughter.
"So I have to babysit? Are you kidding me?" Emma complained.
"Well, Emmeline, it's either see your friends and babysit, or stay home and not see your friends, and babysit. I can't look after them; I have a meeting!" Mrs. Vance was stern, but Emma wasn't ready to back down yet.
"Kylie's 13 now! Can't she look after Isobel?" Emma pointed out.
Mrs. Vance shot her a vicious look. "Emmeline Margaret Vance, I will not go all the way to London just to take you, and then take your sisters a separate day. Either you and your friends reschedule, or you can see them with your sisters. Or, Lily could go, and you could stay here and babysit."
Emma stomped upstairs, and Lily, looking flustered, raced after her.
"Babysitting won't be that bad, Em. Besides, Kylie could probably take Isobel around herself for a little while! We'll have plenty of time to catch up with the girls." Lily reassured her aggravated friend.
"I guess you're right," Emma admitted, and she flopped on to her bed.
Before Lily knew it, the 25th had rolled around, and she was getting ready to go to Diagon Alley. She lined up in the kitchen, alongside Emma and her sisters, and watched as Kylie disappeared into the green flames. It was her turn next, as she took a pinch of powder, and firmly stated "The Leaky Cauldron," and felt the odd sensation of travelling by Floo.
