Ten Years Later:
Lily Flower was crying. She had been sent to her room for somehow getting onto the roof of the orphanage. She had been chased by a few bullies, and then she suddenly found herself on the roof. She had tried to explain that she didn't know how that could have happened, but the Headmistress of the orphanage didn't believe her. Nobody ever did. You see, strange things often happen around Lily, things she couldn't explain.
One time, she had gotten an F in Gym, even though she was one of the best people in that class, and her gym teachers hair turned blue. She had been sent to her room and gotten her dessert privileges taken away for a month for that.
Another time, one of the bully's voice turned high pitched and squeaky after calling her a bad word, and she hadn't gone outside her room for a week.
The time before that- Well, you get the idea.
Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. this surprised Lily, because usually the people who run the orphanage would let Lily stew in her "wrong doing" until they were required by law to feed her.
"Come in!" she called. She hastily wiped her tears away and sat up.
"The door opened and Madam Smith, the Headmistress of the orphanage, along with a man who looked to be in his thirties. The man's brown eyes widened, then he shook his head and walked closer towards Lily.
"Lily, this man is here to see you about you going to a school that he works at, if you old like," Madam Smith said.
"Thank you Madam Smith," Lily mumbled, not wanting to get a lashing letter for not being polite.
The man took the chair, while Madam Smith exited the room and closed the door.
"Hello, Lily," The man said. "My names Professor Longbottom."
"Professor. Is that like doctor? She's called you to have me looked at! I'm not mad!" Lily said.
Professor Longbottom only smiled. "I did not say that you are mad. I do not work for a mental hospital, I work for a school. A school that we think you may have the right requirements for."
"Requirements? I don't have good grades, or talent. I'm just Lily Flower, the orphan! Is it a school for mad people? Tell the truth!"
"It is not a school for mad people, it is a school of magic," Professor Longbottom said.
Whatever Lily had been expecting, it wasn't this.
"M-M-Magic?" Lily asked.
"Yes, Magic. The school is called Hogwarts. If you wish, you can go there. You will be able to return to here every Holiday. You may stay there over Christmas and Easter break, but not Summer. Would you like to go?"
"B-B-But I don't have any money to pay for my things!" Lily said.
"Yes, I suppose you don't. Normally, when a student is unable to pay for their school things, there is a fund that allows them to attend. You, however are a special case. I believe you were found on the doorstep of the orphanage ten years ago, to the day, correct?" Professor Longbottom said.
Lily nodded, frowning at the reminder. In the absence of a real birthday, the day she was found, August 14 (that's my birthday! I hope none of you are stalkers…), was her stand-in birthday. She usually got a extra dessert o her birthday, but today, the orphanage outright ignored it.
"Well, I have some friends, who are wizards, like us, who's daughter was kidnapped ten years ago, yesterday night. You look just like the mother. I am thinking that perhaps you might be their daughter."
This pronouncement cause Lily to bubble over with anger. Her parents had abandoned her, and then had the audacity to tell everyone she had been kidnapped! She had resented her parents for years, but now she outright hated them.
"And what does that mean for me?" Lily asked.
"Well, once we have some proof that you really are their daughter- I don't want to get their hopes up- I'll tell them, and you'll know who your parents are. You'll probably go and live with them. They'll pay for your school supplies. Be regular parents" the professor said, smiling at her.
Lily faked a smile, for the professors sake, but inside, she was scowling. They would never be normal parents, because they would always know, and she would always know, that they had abandoned her, that they hadn't wanted her.
"How do we get proof?" Lily asked.
"Well, first things first. Do you have anything that was left with you ten years ago?"
"My bracelet," Lily said, showing him her charm bracelet.
"Let's see, a lily, a heart, thats where you get your name, isn't it? Our lily flower. A snitch. If nothing else, this bracelet proves that your family was a wizarding family, and one that liked Quidditch. That's our sport. Like football, but for wizards. That definitely describes my friends. Now we go to the ministry. We'll talk to another friend of mine, and she'll set us up with a DNA test. Let's go."
The professor told Madam Smith that I had agreed to go to his school, and that he was taking me to buy my school supplies. He explained to me that magic must be hidden from muggles, or non-magic people. He told me that I must not tell anybody what went on at Hogwarts. Lily got into the professors car, and he drove them to an alleyway, where there was only a phone booth. Professor Longbottom motioned for Lily to get inside and then entered after her.
He punched in the numbers 62442, and then a disembodied voice said, "Welcome to the Ministry of Magic. Please state your name and business."
Professor Longbottom said, "Lily Flower and Neville Longbottom, here to see Hermione Weasley."
Go Neville! Neville is awesome! What do you think? Please review!
