Chapter 16 "So this it what it feels like"
'So this it what it feels like' thought Lily sitting on Hogwarts' steps. The thought of her mother dieing had finally caught up with her. She heard the bell, knowing all her friends were going to there first class, potions. 'At least I get to miss potions' she thought smiling at her joke. Suddenly a giant shadow loomed over her and interrupting her thoughts.
A deep voice said "I guess your Lily, Lily Evans? I'm Hargid, here to help you to the train, OK Lily?" Lily was speechless for a bit then answered." "YesI'mLilynicetometyouHargid,sorrytobotheryoutodaywithyouhavingtotakemetothetrain,Icouldgoalone,butIdon'tknowwherethetrainsationis." She said very fast and in one sentence.
When Lily was nervous she usually rambled on and talked very fast. Hargid said slowly "It's OK, if you don't talk fast all the time." Lily blushed at herself. "I don't mind walking with you, I'm sorry about your mum, my mum left me and me dad."
"Oh I'm sorry"
"No time to be sorry, now if you ever want to talk to me or have tea, come to me hut, near the forbidden forest ."
"OK Hargid." Lily hugged Hargid and boarded her train thinking she had found a lovely friend. All the way she thought of her mum, memories flooded back to her as she looked out into the dark, grey sky.

Lily was five and Petunia was six. They were baking cookies and flour was everywhere, including themselves. There mother had just walked in after a hard day and saw the kitchen, and the girls. Her scowl melted in to a smile as she laughed at the girls, soon they joined in.
Petunia had her first day at school, and Lily wanted to go. Her mom took Lily after she cried outside in the back yard, and said "Lily we're going to build a garden, a tear garden for you". Lily and her mom worked hard at her garden and it had grown to all most all of the back yard.
Lily at her eighth birthday party, her friends were all there but she remembered her mom bought her a fairy tales book, she still had it.
Lily at ten years old, her mom said that Lily was changing and they redid her room.
Lily at eleventh birthday her mom said Lily was changing, boy did she not know how much, and the day Lily got her letter, when Petunia was sour her mom looked as if her had ate the sun, she was that happy. Lily hadn't noticed that she was there. She walked out with her trunk, cats, and her owl. She was glad of the company, as she walked through the barrier.
