My Secret Power (Chapter 1)

16th July, 9:00 a.m.

Oh my god! I can’t believe this! I think I’m hallucinating or something but mom said that she thinks that it’s true.
This morning I woke up thinking about my birthday which is in two days. I was really excited and everything. I went down to breakfast and sat beside Petunia and started eating my breakfast.
‘Lily,’ Dad said. ‘Could you go get the mail?’
‘Sure dad,’ I replied and went to get the mail. I walked slowly to the hall looking at the mail. Then, my eyes fell on a letter that had my name written on it. I ripped it open and read it carefully. Then I gasped and ran to the kitchen.
‘Dad!’ I screamed. ‘Look at this!’ Dad scanned the letter and mom leaned in to see it too. They both looked surprised. It was surprising because this is what the letter said:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc. Chr. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Ms. Evans,
We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress

Inside the envelope was another letter:

Dear Ms. Evans,
We believe that you are a muggle born and have no information about magic. We have a volunteer family who will be happy to show you everything you need to know. They will arrive at your house on the 18th of July to take you to Diagon Alley.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall Deputy Headmistress

‘What’s a muggle?’ I asked curiously. My parents exchanged glances.
‘Lily, go up to your room,’ Mom finally said. I frowned but nevertheless followed my mom’s orders. And here I am now. Writing here. It’s weird isn’t it? I think that it may actually be true. Wouldn’t it be really weird then? It really will.
