'No one mourns the wicked
No one cries they won't return
No one lays a lily on their grave
The good man scorns the wicked
Through their lives, our children learn
What we miss when we misbehave

And goodness knows
the wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows the wicked die alone
It just shows when you're wicked,
you're left only...
On your own'

          Petunia Leigh Evans was born to a family of textile workers in the Midlands in the middle of February, 1955. Her birth was reported in the local newsletter, as was common then, and she was referred to as a 'bonny bab'.

Lily Grace Evans was born on the first New Moon of 1960. The next two winters that followed were notably harsh and sorely felt by families such as the Evanses for the fact that the mills were closing at a rate of one per week.

Though money was tight, the Evans girls meant the world to their parents, as they did to each other.
Petunia and Lily spent long afternoons and evenings traipsing around their town, running through nearby fields of wheat and less-than-clear streams.
A single huge chimney dominated the distant skyline — their point of reference to find their way home at the end of these days.

Then, one day, on a nearly deserted playground, Petunia and Lily were swinging backwards and forward while a skinny boy was watching them from behind a clump of bushes.
