The Evans sisters and been really close until recently that is. Lily had started playing with that strange boy from spinners end. Snape. That was his name. Since meeting him lily had started doing freakish things like making a flower curl and uncurl in her palm. Petunia thought sadly of how things used to be, when she was disrupted from her ponderings by a sharp knock at the door.
"petunia could you see who that is sweetpea."
"Sure dad... How's mum?"
"She's been better that's certain…door"
"I'm getting there" she replied with a smile
She opened the door to a tall severe looking woman in a smart dress. Her dark hair pulled back into a bun. Petunia smiled
"Good afternoon how may I help you?"
"My name is professor McGonagall I'm here to talk to Lily Evans and her parents if that's possible?"
"I shall just find them. Come in" petunia showed the lady into the living room and offered the teacher a seat. She then stuck her head out the back door into the garden
"Lilabelle there's a lady here to speak to you" before she turned round and went upstairs to find her parents.
Soon everyone was assembled in the living room McGonagall explained about Hogwarts and the fact lily was a witch. McGonagall watched everyone's reaction. Mrs Evans gave a weak smile and patted her daughter's hand. Mr Evans there was nothing, not a smile, a grimace, nothing. Petunia mouth drew to a thin line before she got up and stormed out of the room. Lily looked at Minerva closed her eyes then smiled.
"now I must be on my way"
Lily jumped up "I'll show you out" grabbing Minerva's hand as she left the room.
"You seem nice Tuny doesn't talk to me anymore since mumma became ill, so I've been playing with Severus and he told me that I was a witch and that he was a wizard but he said that some children have always known. I don't want to be behind when I get to Hogwarts. I like learning… what do you teach?" she stopped took a breath and looked at Minerva with wide eyes.
"I teach transfiguration, here maybe you would like to read a muggleborns guide to the wizard world but you have to promise me that you won't try any of the spells just learn the theory. Also keep this it's a two way mirror you just have to say my name into it and then we shall be able to a few weeks I shall come and get you so we can go shopping for your school supplies"
"Thank you, I shall look forward to it" suddenly lily wrapped her arms round Minerva waist before opening the door and waving her off. Minerva got outside and smiled to herself oh she hoped she was one of her cubs. Though there was a sadness in the girls eyes she was looked after yes but it would appear she was a mummy's girl her father being much like the sister. There was more going on than met the eye anyhow. With that she apparated back to Hogwarts.
