Chapter 6- the letters
SORRY! Have had writers block! Again!
I don't own anything!
"Ding, Dong!"
"I'll get it!" I called rushing down the stairs
"Ding, Dong!"
"I'm coming" I ran to the big door and pulled it open.
"Hello…" I said looking out the door. At the first glance no one was there but then I heard a soft
"Mmhm."
"Oh I am terribly sorry! Hello!" I said happily. The little man was no bigger than 3½ feet tall he wore a long vivid red robe and a pointy hat that almost covered his short brown hair. He had the beings of a beard and looked like a live garden gnome. I stood there gawking at him when my mother came up behind me.
"Who is it dear?" she asked peering around me at the gnome.
"I." the gnome said, in a high squeaky voice. "Am Professor Flitwick, and I am here to see you about your daughter Lily."
My mother looked at the man puzzled, "But my dear sir, school does not start for a week. How could Lily possibly get in trouble?"
The gnome chuckled "No, no! I am here to offer you daughter a…" here the gnome paused pulling out a small piece of paper and scrutinizing it carefully "a… scholarship, yes a scholarship, to Hogwarts school."
My mother starred wide eyed at the gnome, "but Lily is only eleven! She can't have a scholarship yet!"
"No, no!" he said again "I…"
"How about you come inside and we can discuss it." Mom said "Petunia will you lead Mr. err… Flitwick through to the sitting room" then she ran off to get Dad and Lily.
"Come on!" I said leading him into the house. He smiled and followed; as we walked he looked around him in fascination. It was almost like he had never seen anything like it. When we reached the sitting room he sat down on the couch, pulling out several pieces of paper.
I watched him in interest for several minutes, till he seemed to notice I was watching him.
"Well Miss. Evans how is your summer going?" he said in his high squeaky voice.
"Fine, thank you! However I am not happy about going back to school." I said I was beginning to like the gnome. Suddenly Mom, Dad and Lily popped into the room, mom holding a tray of cookies.
"Well now..." My father started
"Yes." The gnome said "firstly you all must understand that what I am about to tell you must be kept a secret. My whole family was staring at him with wide eyes "and also I would like you to let me finish explaining before you interrupt."
I cried.
It was not the first time either.
Lily, My sister was going off to learn magic. And I had to go to normal school, and Lily would be able to do wonderful things.
I let my mind wonder back through the past months.
The letter.
How the professor had shot flowers and candy through the air.
The underworld of wizards
The owls
And the wand keeper who had told Lily how she would be a "great which someday." Without giving me a glance
The pain had been so great through each of these moments that I had written to the Headmaster Professor Dumbledore. Now both Lily and I had letters form the school. But they where quite different. Lily's was all about how she was welcome. And then there was mine…
Dear Miss Petunia Evan's
Thank you for your kind letter, I am happy you have such enthusiasm for your sister. But I am terribly sorry, but I cannot allow you to come to this school. This is not my decision, but the ministry of magic, the people who run the world of magic. I hope that you understand and will still support you sister Lily Evans.
Sincerely professor Dumbledore
That was my letter, and every time I read it, it made me cry harder.
How come it was not me!
I was the oldest. I took care of her! I did everything! Yet I was the one always getting
pushed down.
Yes my little sister Lily was witch
The meanest, cruelest, witch in the entire world.
