(July 24, 1971)

Amaryllis laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling, with a notebook beside her. She taps the pencil, in her hand, against her chin with a thoughtful look on her face. A soft knock at her door interrupts the girl from her thoughts.

"Amaryllis?" Petunia whispers, through the door.

"Come in," Amara calls as she gathers up her notebook and sets it on her bedside table. Petunia opened the door with her nightgown already on. This made Amara frown and looked at the clock, which read '10:48'. "What's wrong Petunia?"

"Nothing. I just couldn't sleep and I knew that you'd be up." Petunia mumbled. Amara nodded, not buying the lie at all, and patted the space beside her. Petunia smiled at her youngest sister and sat down.

The two sat in a comfortable silence for a moment.

"Do you think it's real?" Petunia whispers, breaking the silence. Amara gave her sister a questioning look. "Everything that Snape tells Lily," Petunia explains. Amara made an 'o' shape with her mouth and thought over the question.

"Yes. I think it's real. A place like that usually exists in fantasies, and I'd like to think that some fantasies are a reality." Amara answered referring to Hogwarts.

"Even the witches and wizards?" Amara nods her head. Petunia's lips fall into a pout and she crosses her arms. "It's so unfair that Lily gets to go then. Why can't either of us go? More specifically, you. You're her twin that should mean you have magic too, right?"

"I don't know. I'd like to think that maybe, just maybe, I have magic." Amara says, not even thinking about how she changed her hair colour.

"Lily seems to always find a way to outshine you, Amaryllis. Now, she's probably going to get into some magic school. Don't you ever hate it?" Petunia queries.

"No." Amara replies. "It would be the equivalent of hating my twin, in my opinion, and I don't think I'd ever be able to do that. Lily can have all the spotlight in the world and I still wouldn't mind." Petunia raises an eyebrow at her and you could see the disbelief in her eyes.

"You don't mind, huh... You don't even mind how close that Snape boy and Lily are getting?" Petunia tells her. Amara's smile falters at her sister's words.

"Of course I don't mind." She mumbles. Petunia smirks as a shade of pink forms on Amara's face and begins teasing her.

"Does someone have a little crush?" Amara scoffs and shakes her head.

"No, I don't. He's been Lily's friend since we were 9." The girl denies, but the reddened face says otherwise. Petunia sighs, shaking her head, and pulls the blanket over her as she lays down.

"What am I suppose to do with you?" She asks with a yawn.

(July 25, 1971)

Lily went into her twin sister's room and frowned at the sight of Petunia sleeping on the bed. The girl had always been envious of Amara's closer bond to Petunia.

"Watching people in their sleep is creepy, Lily." Amaryllis yawned into her pillow. Lily jumped in fright at her sister's voice. The blonde lifted her head lazily and gave her twin a sluggish smile. "Morning."

"Good morning." Lily chirped, her frown from earlier was gone. A sneaky smile made it's way onto her face as she went over to the bed. "Tuney?" Lily whispered and shook her older sister. Amara raised her eyebrows at her twin knowing that Petunia wasn't a morning person.

"She's not going to like that." Amara sang slightly. Petunia groaned into her pillow as Lily shook her again.

"It's summer. Go away." Petunia mumbled, sleepily. Amara shook the girls arm slightly causing her to bolt up with a yelp of pain.

"Tuney, does your arm still hurt? Is it better?" Lily asked in concern. Amaryllis seemed confused as she looked from Lily to Petunia's face to her arm. "A few days ago, Tuney had a branch fell over her head and snagged on her arm," Lily explained.

"It was that Snape boy's fault," Petunia mumbled angrily.

"Sev said that it was his accidental magic and that he is sorry. You were making fun of him." said Lily.

"What was she saying?" Amara queried, shooting Petunia a look.

"She said the smock he was wearing was his mother's blouse," Lily muttered. A soft chuckle escaped Amara's mouth at her sister's words.

"Okay that's funny, but it's also mean Petunia." Amara scolded her eldest sister. The girl just scowled at Lily for snitching then looked back to Amaryllis.

"You're only saying that cause you fancy that Snape boy." Petunia hissed. Lily let out a gasp and looked at her twin with wide eyes.

"You fancy Severus?" Lily asked slowly. Amaryllis just scoffed and shook her head.

"Of course not." A blush formed on her ears but not on her face, so her twin didn't know whether to believe her or not. Before Lily could interrogate her sister any further, their mother called for them to come enjoy some breakfast. Amaryllis was very glad to get out of the situation and was the first out of the three to get down to the kitchen.

Amaryllis was about halfway into her pancakes when the doorbell to their house rang. "Who could that be? Were you expecting anyone dear." Mrs. Evans asked her husband, who merely shrugged in response and went back to his newspaper.

Mrs. Evans entered the dining room a few minutes later, but this time she was accompanied by a woman. The woman had her hair in a tight bun with emerald green robes on, despite the heat. Mrs. Evans even looked slightly dazed as if she just heard the biggest news of her life, and Mr. Evans looked at his wife curiously.

"Who is this?" He asked.

"I am Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." The woman introduced herself. This made the girls eyes go wide then to Lily then back to McGonagall.

"Hogwarts..."

"We teach young students magic if that wasn't already obvious." The woman told them with a soft smile.

"Snape was telling the truth!" Petunia exclaimed. "You really are a witch, Lily." There was a touch of jealousy in her tone and Amaryllis grabbed her eldest siblings hand while sending her twin a smile.

"Congratulations Lily. You get to go to Hogwarts."

McGonagall was talking to their parents and explaining everything to them when she heard Amara's words. "More than one Evans will be attending Hogwarts this year." Her words made all three girls' eyes widen and McGonagall pulled out two Hogwarts letters. "Lily Evans."

"Thank you, Miss McGonagall." Lily gushed as she politely grabbed the letter from her.

"Amaryllis Evans," McGonagall said, holding out another letter. Amara froze as she looked at the witch then back to the letter. Lily looked surprised and Petunia seemed happier for Amara than she was for Lily.

"I'm sure there's been a mistake, Professor," Amara mumbled, looking at the letter in the woman's outstretched hand. "Lily's the witch, not me."

"There hasn't been a mistake, Miss Evans." McGonagall informed her.

Amara gave the woman a grateful smile and hesitantly took the letter from her hand. "Thank you, professor." She mumbled. "But I've never shown any signs of magic."

"What about your hair, Amara?" Lily exclaimed. "You're not naturally a blonde so your magic must have changed it." Amaryllis touched her hair and let out a small laugh. "I can't believe I forgot about that." The twins mumbled in unison.

McGonagall began to explain the Wizarding World in depth.

'Amaryllis listened to the professor with awe as she explained the world of magic to them. The girl couldn't believe that for once, she was just as special (if not more) as Lily.'
