Ch.1 TRUTH BEING REVEALED
******************************
A Shabby house stood with other houses on the street called Wigham. A red-headed girl with bright emerald eyes was sitting comfortably on a green armchair emblazoned with glittering gold stars.A book called "The War Within" laid on the soft hands of the girl, with everyword followed by the emreald eyes.The sweet crispy fragrance filled the cool silent night's air, which wasn't disturbed by any flying creature...perhaps one...
Lily quickly took her gaze away from her book, and stared outside her window, for she heard a hooting noise breaking the silent night from a distance, approaching closer and close...
A great tawny owl per -ched against the window
-sill, carrying an ancient-look-like-envelope tied around its legs.The owl merely blinked as though nothing strange was going on.
Lily couldn't believe her eyes, an owl sitting beside her window? She blinked twice or so to make sure it wasn't her imagination.Liliy didn't know what to do.She was so stunned she couldn't move.
She stared at the owl, who was busy flaping its wings to balance on the windowsill, then Lily looked at the envelope tied around the owl's legs.Assuring herself that the owl was friendly and she's supposed to get the envelope from its great sharp-clawed legs,Lily slowly emerged to where the owl stood.Hoping that the bird wouldn't fly away, as she got closer.Once she thought she was close enough, she snatched the letter and jumped back to her armchair.
The owl gave an annoyed look at Lily, and flew off without a sound.Lily watched it as it got smaller and smaller, and vanished behind the night's clouds.
Looking away from the window, Lily stared at the envelope which was indicated to her:
Ms.L. Evans
Street Wigham
Building no.3 on the left
1st room on the right
"Who'd want to send me a letter delivered by a-so-well-trained owl?", Lili wondered.
She turned the letter and so a wax like stamp appeared to keep the envelope closed.The stamp had a badger, sname, raven, and lion aroung a capital H.
She scarthed the wax away and unsealed the envelope, taking out two parchments.(The msot unique thing about the envelope, and the letters, was that it was written in green ink).
The first parchment read:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY
Headmaster: Neon Dippet
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Ms.L.Evans,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.Please find enclosed a list of all neccessary books and equipment.
Term begins on 1 September.
Yours sincerely,
Neon Dippet
Headmaster
Immediately, hundreds of questions burst in Liliy's mind,like,"What do they mean by Witchcraft and Wizardry?"
Did this letter just reveal that she, an ordinary 11 year old girl, happened to be a witch?...
"Hey, what's that you've got?Oooooh, is it a, blink,,blink, a luuuuve letter?Give me that ! "
A horse faced girl, with twice the amount of neck, seized the letter in Lily's hand, who finally came to her senses that her little sister had sneaked into her room.
"GIVE THAT BACK, PETUNIA ! OR ELSE...", shouted Lily , as she chased her sister madly aroung her room.
"OR ELSE? YOU TELL ME OR ELSE?I'LL GIVE YOU THE THREATENINGS, OR ELSE I'LL GIVEYOUR LOOOVE LETTER TO MUMMY! HA!", yelled back Petunia breathlesly.
Lily came to a halt, and smirked ,"All right then, go ahead, I'll tell mummy about your secret boyfriend, Vernon. And that you go out with him secretly at night without telling mummy".
Petunia paused and face turned red with embarrassment.She stared at Lily with rage, burning red hoit flames in her eyes.She looked as though she was going to strike at Lily for spying on her private business.
But Petunia was so into her thoughts about how she's going to make LIly's beautiful life, dreadful, that she didn't realize that Lily was advancing closer and closer to Petunia, who just realized Lily was still after her so-called luuuve letter and tried to make a run for it but tripped.Lily took her chance and grabbed the letter from Petunia, who was in full of tears.
Lily was used to these things.She always does weird things like just right now, even though Lily was far away from Petunia, Lily still tripped Petunia for her letter.Once Petunia pushed Lily real hard( because Petunia wanted to swing on the swing first), and Lily hit the ground with a BANG.Lily was feeling pain and anger rise in her, that she made Petunia fall from the swing, but how did that happen, Lily can't explain..its so like magic.But of course, her parents didn't believe in such things, so they considered that it was just Petunia falling by accident.
"Why did you do this to me?", Petunia cried,"I know you did it, because its always you, YOU. (Sob)....YOU..YOU EVIL BEAS-..."Petunia stopped dead, she looked horrified at Lily's window.
Lily then looked at the window and to her great surprise,
it was the same gorgeous owl who visited her before.
Petunia shrieked at the sight of a mangled body, which belonged to a mouse, in the owl's beak.
"SHOO! SHOO! YOU.. WEIRD BIRD", shrieked Petunia.
"Shush!You'll scare her away.", whispered Lily.
"I'm telling mummy!", Petunia exclaimed, as she dashed out of Lily's room.
Lily wasn't bothered by the mangled mouse.It was the owl's food.By now, the owl was spitting out pellets outside the window.
Lily felt more confident to go near the owl.Lily advanced near the owl.The owl's bright shiny eyes were locked into Lily's noticeable emerald eyes.The owl gave the same annoyed look as before.
"I know, I know, I was rude to you before.Sorry.",whispred Lily in a gentle voice.
The owl reconsidered this for a moment, and made her annoyed look disappear and then gave the impression that she liked her.
