Her First Day
Lily Evans's first day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She's rather nervous too, since she doesn't even know where platform nine and three quarters is. Oops.
Ch 1 Summary: Lily Evans is nervous about attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, particularly since she is leaving her older sister Petunia at home. She witnesses a boy run through a wall, but not being able to find the wall he went through, she leans against a wall frustratingly... and falls through. The boy she saw earlier yells to ask if anyone can do a memory charm...
Disclaimer: This is only the second time, and I'm already sick of this. Poor authors who write sixty-chapter stories. Only JKR owns the HP story, aite?
The Boy and the Train
Lily was rather astounded. What the heck was a memory charm?
She saw a few people come over and a rather plump woman with auburn hair make her way through the crowd and approach her and the boy.
The boy said out of nowhere, "Need some help?" He offered Lily a hand and helped her up.
"You were shouting about a memory charm, James?" the plump woman asked the boy with ebony hair.
"Yes, Mrs. Prewett. This Mug- er, girl here fell through the wall by accident."
"Alright. I'll get her cleaned up and out of here." With that, the woman pulled out her wand.
Lily realized this was the right platform after all.
She squeaked, "Uh, is this platform nine and three-quarters?"
The woman was taken by surprise. She looked at the boy, confused, and turned back to Lily. "Yes, child."
"She's probably just a Mudblood," an older girl with brilliant black hair offered. She glanced at Lily and walked away with a younger blond girl, probably her sister.
The ebony-haired boy and the plump woman looked rather irritated with the passerby.
"Maybe she just looked up at the sign…" the boy called James suggested, pointing up at the sign on top of her. Of course this was platform nine and three-quarters. The freaking sign above Lily said so. How could she be so daft?
Lily piped up, "No, no, I'm going to Hog… Hog… um, Hog…" Her mind unfortunately decided to blank out at the moment.
"Incase you couldn't read, it's 'Hog-warts,'" an amused blond boy sneered. He motioned towards a scarlet train. On the front, it said Hogwarts Express. Oops. Again.
The plump woman glanced at the boy again. She fingered her wand, undecidedly.
"Oh, duh!" Lily said to herself. She had forgotten about her own wand. She hurriedly took out her wand from a pocket, twirling it in her fingers.
The woman looked taken aback, as she said, "Oh right, dear. May I ask where you acquired such a, um… stick?"
"Ollivander's at Diagon Alley. Ring a bell?" Lily answered politely.
"Sorry, Mrs. Prewett," the boy interjected before the woman could answer, "I guess I was mistaken. She must be a Muggle-born who found the right wall by mistake."
"Right. Now, dear, where are your belongings?"
Her cart. Oops. It was still "outside," hanging around where random Londoners could push off with her suitcases.
"Oh, they're outside…" Lily whispered.
The plump woman, presumably Mrs. Prewett, quickly hurried through the wall and came back with Lily's cart. "Does this look like everything, child?" she asked Lily.
Lily examined her cart, surprised but obviously glad that no one had stolen anything. She nodded and said thanks to Mrs. Prewett.
"No problem, dear. I'll be off now. James, get her aboard, it's almost eleven o'clock."
The crowd had dispersed, and Mrs. Prewett walked off. It was just Lily and this boy now.
"Sorry about that," he stammered. "You should get on the train now. Here, I'll help you with your trunk."
He picked up Lily's trunk with ease and walked towards a door of the train. Lily followed, bringing her suitcases. She noticed his strong and buff build, learning later that the boy had played chaser for Quidditch for many years.
"Thanks," Lily breathed.
The boy answered, "No problem. I need to go to get my trunks though, okay?" Lily nodded. "Well, bye for now then," the boy said as he started going down the steps of the train.
She was alone now.
A/N: Posted a new KBOW oneshot. :D Hope you enjoyed; that was my probably favorite chapter to write (I've already finished most of the four-chaptered story) 'cause they meet and it's all chaos, tehe. Review, please!
