Chapter One
Learning the Truth
It was a warm summer's night as Carmen sat on her bed near the small fire in the fireplace. Her night black hair reflected the dancing flames perfectly, her moon grey eyes transfixed by the yellow letter envelope held in her hands. Her grey cat, Merlin, sat net to her, his tail twitching every so often. She sat there quietly, still staring at the envelope. 'Should I open it?' Carmen thought. For the past 15 minutes she had sat there dumb struck after a brown owl had come through her open window and dropped a letter before steeling itself on one of her bedposts. On the front of the letter read in emerald green ink ; To Ms. C. Jamison, 65 Dentins Drive, the second largest bedroom.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwunp, International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Ms. Jemison,
We are pleased to inform you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl no later than July 31.
Yours Sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
Carmen's eyes grew wide as she realized what this would mean. "This…This just can't be real!" she said out loud. "It's impossible! How could I-"
"Be a witch?" finished Carmen's mom from the doorway. "I better explain." Ms. Jemison was a tall pretty woman, with waist length brown hair and green eyes. It was obvious that Carmen had gotten her fathers looks. Ms. Jamison came in and sat down on Carmen's bed next to her.
"Carmen, you know that I love you very much and I would never keep something from you unless I had a good reason. Well… You see, I have been keeping something from you. When I got married to your father, Kyle, he was hiding something from me. He was a wizard. He went to Hogwarts as well.
"He didn't tell me until after he proposed. And he said that he, now what did he say oh, it was 'Couldn't keep a secret from Nosy Nadia for long can I? Besides don't want you to get into something you don't know about!' he said. And he really thought I would back down and he would have to wipe my memory, but I still said yes. About three months latter we got married. When he came home from work he used to tell me all sorts of stories from his school days. Than four years after we got married you were born. We had planned on bring up as if you were a witch. But than… after your father died… I just couldn't take it anymore. I wanted nothing to do with the wizarding world. So I went back to being a muggle. A muggle is someone who can't do magic." said Carmen's mom.
"Why didn't you tell me?" asked Carmen, who was taking this quite well.
"Well there was always the possibility you weren't a witch so I couldn't take that risk. But seeing as you are we will have to go to London first thing tomorrow to get your new school things." Carmen's mom stud up, grabbed a paper, pen, and the brown owl (you thought I forgot him didn't you?) and left the room leaving her dumbstruck daughter to sit there staring at the door.
What do you think? I had to change it because of some spelling errors. Moving on. I need YOU! Yes, YOU to tell me who Carmen should fall for. The choices are: Fred, Harry, or Ron. But if you have another idea, you have to tell me! Person with the most votes wins!
