A/N: Sorry for not updating yesterday. Internet problems. They suck. In any case, I'll probably update twice today. Keep your eyes out.

When Minerva McGonagall wrote the letter to the daughter of her favorite pupil, she never knew the impact that it would have on the girl. For weeks leading up until her journey from King's Cross Lily could do nothing but think of the letter. The kind words mixed with strict warnings had her feeling both excited and anxious.

"Are you almost packed?" Ginny asked as she peeked into her daughter's room on the eve of the journey to Hogwarts.

"Mom –," the girl started.

"Yeah?"

"Never mind."

Sighing, the mother walked into the room and sat on Lily's bed. "You know you can tell me anything," she reminded her daughter.

A/N: Next chapter Lily will tell Ginny what the letter said, so you will find out. Thanks for the comments, keep them coming. I've had a drop in hits though, so keep reading. I promise I'm trying!
