THE MYSTERIOUS BOOK

It was a bright summer day of 1975. It was a very hot day at the park near cokeworth, England. Two people were sitting on the grass , having a small picnic. They were Lily Evans and Severus Snape. "Hey Sev,", Lily said,"we should do this everyday you know, not just twice or thrice in a week. I really feel bad , when we are separated at Hogwarts, and i don't want it to happen here too.". Severus smiled at this, and had same feelings too. "Yeah , i think so too Lily", Severus said. "I wish that you will stop hanging out with Avery and Mulciber, Sev, they give me creeps", Lily said. Severus frowned and said,"the marauders are no better lily, they give me creeps". This was the topic in which Severus and Lily argued all the time. "At least i don't hang out with them, Sev", Lily argued. Severus thought it was better to change the topic and said,"How are things at home? Is Petunia still jealous of you?". "Oh , Petunia is always arguing with me sev. I don't know what happened between us, she was so nice to me before. Now she is dating a guy called Vernon . I don't remember his last name though. She is bragging about it in front of the whole family. I don't think my parents approve of the guy though, he looks as fat as a Hippo!", Lily said.

Severus laughed at this and said,"Oh i hate to see someone dating a Hippo, even your sister". Lily gave a playful slap on his shoulders and laughed with him. "I am already starting to miss Hogwarts, Sev. I know that it has been only 2 weeks, still its just frustrating.", she said. "I know lily, even i feel the same.", Severus agreed. "You know Severus, i feel like reading a new book. The school book list will not come till next 3 weeks ,so no hope there.", Lily said. Severus laughed again and sad," I look forward only for the new potions book." ."I am sure you know all the potions in the book, Sev. You are the top of the class.", Lily said playfully. Lily was right, Severus was the top of the class. "I really want a new book now Sev, it will distract me from my sister.", Lily said. "OK lily, let's try this,lily. Abracadabra, let a new book appear.", Severus chanted some nonsense laughing. Then to the duo's surprise 7 books appeared suddenly in front of them. "S-Severus, how d-did you do t-this?", Lily asked amazed. Severus was also shocked by this. "How in the name of Merlin did this happen?", Severus thought. " I have no idea Lily! I told some nonsense spell and this happened.", Severus said. Lily took the book that was marked 1, in the front. The other books also had numbers from 1 to 7.

"T-this must be a series. HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE.", she read the title of the first book. "Potter? Potter! A book about a potter? I think i want to skip this!", Severus cried. "Oh come on Sev, let us both read this book, this is definitely going to be lot of fun.", Lily said happily. "Reading about some relative of Potter! Oh that is going to be fun. I am sure the book is going to be about , how he is a spoiled guy.", Severus said sarcastically. "Please sev", Lily said pleadingly wanting to read the book with him. "OK Lily, we will read the book.", Severus said halfheartedly. "Who wrote these books anyway?", he asked. "J K ROWLING, it says. Ring any bells?", Lily asked. "Yeah, she is in our year, Hufflepuff, I think. Heard Black was dating her.", Severus told. "There is a Description.", Lily said and read.

Harry Potter has never played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a Cloak of Invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny cupboard under the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in ten years.

"What!? A potter who has never ridden a broomstick?! That is the most impossible thing i have ever heard.", Severus exclaimed.

"Be nice sev. it says that he is an orphan.", Lily said.

"Still something unbelievable", Severus said.

"Lets read inside ,shall we?", Lily asked.

"Ok", Severus said. Lily opened the chapter and began to read.
