Chapter One
(Guinea Pigs)
Avery Blackwood was sitting on her bed at her house, staring at the ceiling. "Avery!" Her mother called, "Breakfast!" "Fine," Avery called back. She walked down the stairs, wiping her eyes on her sleeve. She was still tired. As she walked down the stairs, an owl landed on her arm, which was on the railing. Cadence, what is it now? The owl let out a small hoot, and dropped a dirty, parchment envelope into her hand. It was from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
She opened her letter. It read:
"Dear Miss Blackwood,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of supplies that will be needed for this term. Please send your reply by July 31, term starts September 1. Thank you;
Minerva McGonagall,
Headmistress of Hogwarts"
"Mum!" She called. "I've been accepted!" "Wow, I'm going to tell your father as soon as I'm off of work."
Avery's family is close friends of the Weasleys', Mrs. Blackwood, and Mrs. Weasley went to school together, and Mrs. Blackwood works at the Ministry of Magic.
"I can't wait to tell Fred and George!" said Avery with excitement. "You won't have to wait long, dear; we're going to the Burrow for dinner." Avery kissed her mom on the cheek, and walked out the door.
Once Avery got to the Burrow, she knocked on the door, and waited. Mrs. Weasley answered the door. "Hello, Avery dear! The kids are in the den, come on in!"
Avery entered the Burrow, and headed for the den. "Hi Ginny, Ron, George, Percy, Fred…" Avery went on naming off the Weasleys'. "Avery!" The twins said in unison. "That's really starting to creep me out, guys." Said Avery; rubbing the back of her head. "I got my Letter!" She said. "Wow! That's great!" Ron piped in. "Oh, yay!" said Ginny, hugging Avery. "I feel so violated…" Suddenly, Ron's chin turned purple, and had pink spots on it. "That's it you two!" He yelled, "I've had it with being your guinea pig!" "Fine," Said George, "We'll just get Avery to help us…." George looked around the room for Avery but she was nowhere to be found. Fred laughed and moved out of the way, revealing Avery hiding behind him. "Uh… I did nothing!" She yelped and hid behind a sofa. "Wow…" Ron muttered. "Hey! Do you guys want to come and get our school supplies with us?" asked Avery, grinning. "If it's okay with your mother…" Ron Said "Guess what?" Percy Said "I'm a Prefect!" "Oh, joy…" Avery muttered. Avery sat down next to Ron and said "So, are you excited about school?" Ron replied "Kind of, but I'm a little nervous…." "It's okay," she said; "Let's just hope we're both in the same house."
After Avery left the Burrow, she headed for home. "I'm home!" she called, immediately headed for her room, and fed Cadence. "Here you go, Cadence!" she said as she fed the young grey owl. She pulled her long, black hair into a ponytail and got ready to go the Burrow for dinner. Once she was done, she came out in her jeans and a baggy T-shirt. "Hi Dad!" she said, rushing up to hug her father. "I got my letter today!" she said happily. "Good for you! Did you reply to the letter?" he asked. "Yup!" Avery said, smiling. "Okay, we'll head out to get your supplies this Saturday." Her father said. They then headed out the door an hour later.
"Come in, come in!" called Mrs. Weasley from the kitchen. The Blackwood family entered and sat in the den with Arthur and the children. Aver was playing Wizard's Chess with Ginny and Fred and George were trying to convince Ron to be their test subject again. "Come on, Ron!" said George." Help us out a little" Fred finished. "How many times do I have to tell you? No!" Fine," muttered George "We'll just slip it into your pumpkin juice at dinner!"
The families now sat at the table, eating roast beef and mashed potatoes. "This is delicious, Molly!" said Mrs. Blackwood. "Thank you." replied Molly. Avery was sitting at the end of the table chattering away to Fred and George. "Mum? Can Avery come and get our supplies with us?" asked Fred. "Of course." She answered. "Oh, can I mum?" asked Avery. "Sure!" answered Mrs. Blackwood.
After dinner, everyone said their goodbyes and left. Avery slept well that night, happily dreaming of Hogwarts, Quidditch and School Supplies. She couldn't wait until the next day! She'd finally be getting her wand.
(A/N: Ha! I'm finally done after three days! Review please? I want to know how I did. I'll update ASAP! By the way, the character, Avery is based off of me. Yes, my personality is that strange…)
