"Tuney wrote this about me?" Lily looked at Seveus with wide eyes. "Yep she did! So she is jealous of you!" Severus said his eyes glittering with the smirk still on his face. Lily got up and sat on the swing and said "Why is she jealous?"Severus snorted and said "Who cares why? You can use it against her!"
Lily stood up off the swing she just sat on and the fire in her eyes even more prominent now the tears had fully gone and Petunia said those nice things about her. "I am not going to use the nice side of my sister against her! I am not going to do what your dark family would do! I'm sure they taught you all those dark spells you know! Did they rub off on you like Tuney always said they would!" Severus's eyes darkened. Lily seemed to notice what she said as the fire in her eyes died out "I'm sorry, Sev but I am not using the nice side of my sister against her." And with that Lily ran out of the playground with the letters still tightly clenched in her fist.
As Lily approached her house she started to slow down so she could sneak up to her sister's room and return the letters. When Lily walked inside the house she thought that it might be a bit harder than she originally thought because Petunia stormed up to her room and when she was angry she could remain there for hours. Lily quietly tip-toed up the stairs and pressed her ear to the door. Silence. Lily then tried to open the door and found it was unlocked as she walked in. No Petunia which was a good sign so Lily walked over to where Petunia kept all of her secret things and put the two letters there. As Lily walked out of the room she reflected how lucky she was that her birthday was so close to September 1st.

Lily woke up early that morning really excited but for a moment she didn't know why. Lily realized a second later that she was eleven and that someone would be coming with her letter for Hogwarts! Lily leapt out of bed, got dressed and raced downstairs. "Happy birthday Lily!" her mother said giving her a hug. "No one else is downstairs yet but I'm making your favorite breakfast! Chocolate pancakes!" Lily smiled at her excited mother and said "Make some extras in case anyone comes over!" . "Who would be coming over?" her now confused mother said. "Oh you never know" Lily said vaguely now wandering out of room towards the presents in the other room. "Oh if you have to open them you can" her mother said reluctantly though smiling slightly. "Yay thanks!" LIly said as ran towards the presents.
Once she was done her Father and Petunia came downstairs and they were all eating the chocolate pancakes."Wait leave one!" Lily exclaimed as her father reached for the last one. "Why?" Mr. Evans said slightly confused though he retracted his hand."Oh uh if someone comes they might want one." said Lily knowing that someone from Hogwarts usually arrived at around this time. As she thought that someone knocked on the door. "I'll get it!" Lily shouted already halfway down the hall before anyone was even fully raised from their chair.
Lily opened the door panting and looking up a strict faced woman with black hair that was in a bun. The woman looked down at Lily with a slight smile on her face "I need to speak with your parents. I assume you are Lily Evans?" the woman said. Lily nodded with the beginnings of a huge smile. "Well then I need to speak to you too. My name is Minerva McGonagall." Lily nodded now with a huge grin on her face." Alright Professor McGonagall." Lily said skipping down the hallway. Shaking her head with a slightly surprised look on the teachers face, she followed.
"... told you someone was coming, this is Professor McGonagall." Lily was saying as McGonagall walked in the room. "Hello my name is Professor Minerva McGonagall and I come from a school far away that Lily has accepted at. This school is called Hogwarts and-" Lily's dad was shaking his head. "Wait a minute you mean Lily qualifies for a school we didn't even send in a request for?" The Professor nodded her yes. "Lily has qualities that other children don't have. You see, Lily is a witch." There was complete silence after she said that. Lily suddenly said "Yay! Sev was right" and ran right at Professor McGonagall and hugged her. Lily then stepped away and then said to her parents "Well? Isn't amazing that I have magically abilities?" Mr. Evans then addressed McGonagall "I'm sorry Mrs. McGonagall but how do we know you are telling the truth and she has magical capabilities?" McGonagall drew in a breath to speak but Petunia got there first. "When Lily swings on the swings she can jump off at the very top and she'll float down the ground. I've seen it happen and if you tell me that isn't magic you're crazy." Lily went and hugged her sister and said so only she could hear "Thanks".
"Well there you have it sir" Professor McGonagall said "If that is not proof she's magical then you won't believe anything." Mr. and Mrs. Evans now nodded slightly now they knew for certain she was a witch."You cannot tell anybody else non-magical that Lily is magical. Lily must come to Hogwarts to learn how to control her magic because as she gets older it will get stronger and may harm you if she can't control it." McGonagall now started addressing Lily "There is a whole magical world with many different careers, a different currency which you can exchange non-magical money for at the bank and Diagon Alley is where most magical shops are and all your school things are sold there. You can your letter now, Lily." McGonagall handed Lily a yellowish envelope with green ink. Lily read her letter and the requirements. "How do we get to Diagon Alley?" Lily asked. "I will leave instructions with your parents on how to get there. Lily you may need to guide your family through as they won't be able to see the door, only you." Lily nodded as she already knew this.
McGonagall handed a sheet of parchment to Mr. and Mrs. Evans which directions to Diagon Alley from their house. "Now I will leave but if you need to contact me I recommend buying an owl and addressing the letter to me. The owl will know how to find me." Professor McGonagall nodded at the family and turned to leave. "See you at the beginning of term Professor" Lily said. "Goodbye Lily." McGonagall said opening the door and then vanishing with a pop just outside.
