[She hasn't used a telephone regularly in so long that the possibility of calls being intercepted takes her by surprise for a moment. Has she been too used to owls?]
Owls. We use those instead of the telephones. [She says suddenly, before shaking her head.] My world isn't very different from this place, basically. This is earth too, right? And the calendar seems about the same. But where I am from... My home, there happen to be small, well hidden communities of magic users--wizards and witches.
[She's been warned again and again not to break the secrecy code, but nothing's prepared her for a jump in time like this.] Some of them keep to themselves, and others live among muggles, if not integrate completely into their societies. Every once in a while a wizard child would be born to a muggle family. [Lily cups her mug again, noting how her tea has cooled.]

Like myself.
