My face beamed as I ran home to tell my mum. "Lily wait up," I heard Sev run towards me as he tried to catch up to me.

Oh by the way, Sev is my BEST friend ever

"Is it true that you got the acceptance letter from Hogwarts?" Sev asked me still breathless. "Yep!" I proudly showed him my letter from my backpack. "Did you get one?" I questioned. He also showed me his letter. "We could be in the same house, Lily" Severus said to me, his usually pit like eyes shining with excitement. I looked at him in confusion.

He then explained the different houses in Hogwarts. According to him, Slytherin was the best house. However, I kind of liked the house Gryffindor. Sev also said there were such people as muggles, people who are non magical, and people who were muggleborns like me, people whp come from non magical families. "Does it make a difference," I asked scared that the people at Hogwash – I mean Hogwarts would have anything against me because of my blood. Severus hesitated before looking at my wide, frightened emerald eyes before saying confidently "No, there's no difference at all." I sighed in relief. Eventually, after talking about Hogwarts for few more minutes I ran home to tell my parents and sister, Petunia (AKA Tuney) about my letter.

15 minutes later…

"Sorry sweetie, but I think someone is just pulling a prank on you there's no such thing as witchcraft," my mum kept on saying to me. Tears were streaming down my face "Then what about all those weird things that always happens to me?" I screamed "Mum, I always knew I was different, please can we please just go?" I pleaded. My mum sighed "Fine" she said.

"You're a freak Lily!" My sister shouted at me "Go to your school of freaks and never come back you freak!" she shouted as she ripped off the friendship necklaces we had ever since we were four. "Tuney wait!" I called after her as I sprinted up the stairs. I tried the door… no good it was locked. "Tuney you can go with me to Hogwarts, I'll write a letter to Professor Dumbledore for you." The door creaked open a tiny bit. "You'd do that for me Lily?" she asked me with wide eyes. "Of course" I said "You're my sister."

I hurried into my room told the owl to hold on for just 10 minutes. The owl hooted importantly like it had better things to do then wait for an 11 year old girl. I just sat at my desk for a short while composing a letter inside my head.

Dear Professor Dumbledore,

I just want to say that my parents are letting me go to Hogwarts! Is there any way my sister Petunia can come with me?

Soon to become your student,

Lily Evans

I tied the piece of parchment carefully to the owl's leg. Almost 10 minutes later another owl came in. This owl, unlike the other one that was small and brown, was bog and majestic looking with its chestnut golden feathers and wide yellow eyes that seemed to pierce right through me. The owl held out its leg for me, I read the letter.

Dear Miss Evans,

To the answer for your question, no I'm afraid your sister may not got to Hogwarts, for she has no magical abilities. I'm sorry for any complications that might happen.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

I swallowed a lump in my throat. "So does the letter say I can go?" my sister asked me. I turned around in my chair slowly and said "Petunia, I'm sor-" before my sister started to cry. I put an arm around her hoping to provide some comfort, but she just swat my arm away. "Ughh, I hate you! Why can't I for once be the special one. Why do you always come home with trophies while I get golden stars! Why can't I be the one who makes Mum and Dad proud! Why! Why!" she screamed before running out of my room crying into her hands.

I stood there frozen trying to make the guilty feeling in my stomach go down, but I couldn't. Miss Perfect-At-Everything-She-Does couldn't. I felt my knees buckle and started crying until there were no more tears left to shed.

As I turned on the water for a hot bath, my fingers found the necklace Petunia and I had made.

Flashback

"Tuney look at it, two necklaces." I picked up one, it was a simple necklace made out of yarn and green beads. Petunia came over and picked up the other one. "These could be our friendship necklaces Lily!" She said excited of the thought. I nodded and put a necklace around her while she put one around me. We looked at each other and started to giggle.

End of Flashback

I smiled sadly while carefully taking off the clasp. The yarn had worn a lot, yes but I had never even thought of ever throwing away. I kept the necklace close to my heart and whispered, "I'll always be there for you Tuney, even if you won't be there."

Please review and tell me if I should continue. Thanks!
