CHAPTER 1-EVERYTHING CHANGES
Alexanderia Dellacee was once again spending her summer holidays shopping with her best bud, Misseria Kalem. They did that every year, without fail. Or so they thought.
"You are NOT, I repeat NOT, going to go shopping with that...friend of yours. How do I know who she is? How do I know if SHE is actually a she? She could be a HE, for all I know. Also, why should I let you go? You'll just get home and do what you normally do," said Alexanderia's cousin, Sarra. Sarra was so strict she made a dictator look like a kind, freedom- loving individual.
"You are so not going to stop me, Sarra. I'm going whether you want me to or not," Alexanderia replied, stomping up the stairs, which was something she had been doing ever since she could walk.
Up in her room, she dialed in Misseria's number but halfway through it, she stopped. The reason she stopped was because she felt strange about it. They were best friends, but lately, they seemed to be drifting apart, becoming strangers to each other. So she rang up one of her other friends, Cho Chang.
"Hey, Cho speaking. Whose this?" said Cho sleepily
"Hey Cho. It's me, Alex," replied Alex.
"You woke me up! It's only 11:32 in the morning! You should know by now that I hate being woken up before 12:30 in the summer," Cho said, laughing. Everyone, who knew Cho, also knew that she was in fact ALWAYS up at 8:00. The reason she sounded sleepy was probably because she had just done a 5- kilometer run, knowing her.
"Cho, did you just do a 5-kilometer run?" asked Alex.
"No! 10 kilometer! It was wicked! I would have ran for longer, but I got hungry," Cho said, laughing. Her appetite was unbelievable.
"Typical. You bring new meaning to the saying eat and run…Cho, are you there?" Alex said, giggling.
"Yeah, I'm here. I just dropped the phone," Cho said.
"Again? You always do that!"
"I know. Hey, I've gotta go. Mums calling me from downstairs. I think she needs to use the phone...Cya" Cho said. What Alex didn't know, was that Cho had "accidentally" locked her little sister, Merrinda, in the cupboard under the stairs.
"Okay…Cya," Alex said.
At least while speaking to Cho, she had forgotten how mad she was. Pretty much 2 seconds after Alex had gotten off the phone, it rang again.
"Hello? Alexanderia speaking...Who is this?" Alex said, bewildered.
"Ally, its me, Misseria. Hey, can you go shopping?" Alex's best friend, Misseria said.
"Oh, Hey! Nah, I'm not allowed. Aunt Sourpuss won't let me go," Alex said
"Well, Mum and I are picking you up anyway. Grab your stuff and be in your bedroom at 12 noon," Misseria said, quietly, as if she thought Sarra could hear her.
"Okay, I'll have to go now, so I can pack. Cya soon," said Alex, in an excited tone of voice.
The moment Alex got off the phone, she started packing. Her clothes, mobile, wand, cauldron, photos, scales, make-up, accessories, robes etc. By now your probably saying wand, cauldron? Is she a freak or something? My answer is no, she's a witch. A witch who goes to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Scotland. Hogwarts was a free, co-ed boarding school.
"Eleven fifteen already!!! I'm not even half-packed! Arghhhhh!
