It wasn't that she wanted to memorize the Dewey Decimal System and help smiling faces find books to read; it was that she wanted to read books all day.
Lily wanted to sit in a famous library and read novels everyday. Mystery, drama, romance, fantasy, thriller, horror –there was no genre that she wouldn't want to read (except for non-fiction).
Her favorite genre of books was fantasy. Fantasizing all day and digging out deep secrets from her heart...This was her life, sitting in a comfy chair with snacks by her side.
Perhaps this was the fatal mistake that made her choose her path and typical Muggles choose theirs; perhaps this was the fatal mistake that cost her her life.
Lily had read too many books, too many fantasy books for her own good. Too much about so-called magic and fabled-unicorns, flying broomsticks and wands.
If she had stopped reading those fantasy books her mother always scolded her about, Lily may have gone the same way as her sister, staying a normal Muggle and turning her nose at theslightest whisper of magic.
Perchance this was the reason she was so attracted towards Hogwarts, all her deepest desires fulfilled. Perchance, this was the reason she decided to become an Auror.
So that she could save all the fantasies she believed in.
Instead of becoming a librarian and reading five different books every day, she became an Auror and died.

Okay, for high school applications, I need help to choose a school. I am not interested in taking the SSAT (as my parents may not let me), and therefore USA/Canada schools are out of the question. Most of the high schools in North America require 9th graders to take the SSAT. I've found some schools in the UK and Europe that don't require me to take a test. HOWEVER, I want to go to a fairly above-average (top) high school. I am interesting in furthering a degree in finance or doctoring. Also, I am currently learning French as a World Language, though I do know Spanish (albeit limited). Please, anyone in high school, college, or even working help me choose a school and apply !!
Thanks so much,
Nisha
P.S. Please drop a review for me or email me at
Don't judge by the email address name...I've had this since fifth grade !
