Explanation: As this Fanfic was originally an RPG please take in mind not everyone in the RPG could post every day/week. So take in mind there will be pauses in some interactions which you should just take as a cliff-hanger until the response comes.
Also it is hard work to convert an RPG into a fanfic, so this has been only edited for grammar and in some places conversations are put together where they were not in the RPG. Again I stress this was Originally an RPG.
There are links in the profile to each person who is involved in the RPG.
Also I would like to point this will be updated monthly and will be updated with a longer gap if need be. The reason for updating monthly is because it is in an ongoing RPG and needs to be checked for grammar before posting as a chapter and it also needs a certain amount of words to keep readers satisfied for the month. Hopefully.

-- Chapter 1 --
Many kids across the United Kingdom were smiling but some just looked at what they got nonchalantly as if it didn't matter to them the slightest when it was obvious it did. Most of the kids who didn't think much of it would have thought of it more if they didn't get it for they would be disowned within a heart beat like the scum they would be in their families eyes.
However there were more happy kids than there were stupid ones for the thing they held in their hands became like a life line, something they didn't want to let go of in case it disappeared like a dream that sits idly in your mind until you sleep then drifts away when you awaken.
The thing that brought out all these different reactions was a letter from a school but it wasn't just any school it was Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
--
Rebecca couldn't have been happier than when she got her letter from Hogwarts. It was her dream since she first opened her eyes and saw the amazing things around her including the people that cooed and awed at her who she found out later in life were her parents.
She was finally going to the place of her dreams where she hoped more dreams would come alive. Her fingers gently tore the letter open and she read its contents. A smile appeared on her face and grew with each word she read.
She was Eleven Years Old and she was finally going to Hogwarts a place that up until now only existed in her wildest dreams.
Walking to her parents room she said in a dreamy voice "I got in."
She didn't want to see if her sister got in but she went to her anyway and when she noticed her opening a letter much like her own she went back to her parents to be smothered in hugs.
--
In Melinda's dreams she would go to Hogwarts where she would find secret passages and became friends with people from every house. Every time she would wake up from one of these dreams she would wipe a lone tear in anger knowing that the way people always misjudged her it would be really hard making that dream come true.
Melinda opened her letter and didn't notice her twin open the door she just froze reading its contents. Lucky for her she smiled when her sister had already closed the door and left. "I got in?" Even if her sister had stood at the door she would not have been able to pick that up as it was a very shocked whisper.
The first part of her dream had come true now would the rest?
--
Liam opened his letter in his room where no prying eyes could see him. Reading its contents a small smile appeared on his handsome face but when someone came into his room his smile was gone and he said in a nonchalant voice "I got in." Inside however he was jumping for joy.
--
Early one morning a young lad with unruly hair ran down the stairs into his family kitchen with a smile covering his face "I got in."
His parents laughed at his antics then he stopped and said "Mind you I knew I was going to get in anyway, I mean who wouldn't want me." He looked at his mum with a cheeky grin on his face which dropped when he saw her expression that clearly read 'don't be so cocky.'
"James go and get changed that is if you want to go to Diagon Alley today."
She didn't really need to ask because as soon as her words left her mouth he was out of the kitchen and already half way to his room.
--
Scarlett had torn open the letter with her proud aunt watching. Suddenly, her face filled with glee.
"Yay! Yay! Yay!" she repeated over and over again... "I'm off to Hogwarts..." she sang too.
"Hmmm." Her aunt pursed her lips. "Looks like its time for a trip to Diagon Alley..."
--
Remus Lupin practically sleep walked into the kitchen to get some much needed breakfast, he barely even noticed the odd way his parents were acting and the letter in front of his plate until he was done eating and picked it up, he looked up at his parents and asked "What's this?"
His mother smiled at him while his dad continued to sit quietly "Sweetie this is your Hogwarts letter."
He remembered his mom mentioning Hogwarts before "Isn't that the magical school you went to."
Her head nodded so fast it nearly bobbed right off her head "Yes it is and you've been accepted as well."
Astonished Remus looked down at the letter finally understanding what was going on he opened the letter and read the first few lines to confirm to himself what his mother had said and nearly toppled over the chair and the table getting up so fast to run to his room and start packing.
--
Charlette woke up to an owl pecking on her ear waiting non to patiently for her to take it's burden once Charlette untied the letter it soared to Haden's (her barn owl) perch to grab a treat then hastily left as Haden made a ruckus not liking his food being stolen.
Charlette rolled her eyes at their antics and finally looked down at the letter in her hand and saw that it was from Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. She smiled as she opened the letter as fast as she could and read the letter twice before squealing at the top of her lungs and racing down stairs to tell her dad "daddy daddy daddy daddy."
He came out of the sitting room looking rather sloppy but she didn't care she ran straight to him and lunged into his arms he caught her and tried to figure out what was going on "Honey even you can't be this excited when I know for a fact you just woke up what's happened?" Her dad set her back on her feet as she shoved her letter into his face he saw it and finally caught on to what had is darling so excited "Daniel! Get in here!"
Charlette's mother calmly followed her father into the hallway "Yes dear?"
"Our little girls growing up she's just got her acceptance letter to Hogwarts."
Daniel smiled wildly at her daughter and hugged her as hard as she could "Your father will take you shopping tomorrow in that ally for school supplies alright." Charlette nodded quickly and ran off to go tell all her magical friends.
--
Jazmine didn't know what was going on, mostly because she was still half asleep. She had two little demons jumping on her bed, or also known as the little 4-year-old twins, Marcus and Anna, yelling something she couldn't even understand. "Wait a tic, slow down, and for Pete's sake, stop jumping!" Instantly the twins stopped, and plopped down on her bed.
The looked up to their big sis, but they did like to bug her every now and then. "Jaz, you got a letter, mummy and daddy want you to come downstairs and read it." said a now calm(as a 4-year-old can get) Marcus, with Anna agreeing and nodding her head to his every word.
"Ugh, Anna, what time is it?" Replied Jaz plopping back down onto her warm pillow.
"Jaz, it's 11:30, I think?" said Anna confused. "No dummy, it's 11:40!"
"Nuh uh!"
"Uh huh!"
"Nuh uh!"
"Uh huh!"
"ENOUGH! It's 11:35, look at the clock. Ugh, go tell mum and dad I'll be down in a min." yelled Jaz annoyed at the twin's antics for waking her up. The twins happily left, accomplishing their mission, now their mum would give them each a chocolate bar for successfully getting her up, but geez, she slept like a hippo, that's why their mum got them to do it.
Jaz only rolled over and pulled the pillow to her face and groaned, "It better be a Hogwarts letter for getting me up..."
She didn't know how right she was.

Looking into the house, Christine, or Chris for short, saw her mum fixing lunch for her and her dad. She only smiled and laid her head back down on the pool raft she was on. She loved sunny days, and this happened to be one. She laid there for what seemed like hours, but was only 10 minutes, when her mother called her in for lunch.
"Chrissy, it's time for lunch. On your way in, go tell your father, he's in the garage again, that lunch is ready."
Chris only rolled her eyes at the nickname her mother gave her, she will never know what made her mother give her that nickname. "Ok, mum, I'll be out in a minute." Her mother nodded and headed back into the house. Chris just sighed, and sat up, in the process slipping over the edge of the raft, into the pool. As she came up, she was taller, had a light brown hair, had blue eyes, and essentially, looked just like a copy of her mother. She smiled evilly, she was so going to get her dad.
But, before she could, an owl swooped down and landed in front of her, holding a letter. Specifically, a Hogwarts letter.
She changed back to her usual self, getting her dad could wait till later, she had a letter to open.
--
Now, we come up upon a quite property, namely the Malfoy cottage in Manchester. Here lived a family of three, a man a woman and two boys. The younger boy, he was in the back yard, playing a new game he had recently discovered. You could hear an occasional whack! of something being hit.
"Wow, 13 home runs in a row, I'm getting better." he said wiping his sweaty brow. He turned to walk back towards his home carrying his bat and remaining balls with him. Suddenly he spotted something black in the distance, an owl? He thought, and then he remembered, they were suppose to get their school letters soon, it must be mine!! He thought furiously as he ran to the back door of the cottage.
He burst through the door, dropping the bat and balls outside. "Mum! The Letter is coming! The owl's just up there." he said in an excited hurry, pointing towards the spot he last saw it.
All of a sudden the aforementioned owl swooped into the window, carrying a thick letter. "See? I finally got my letter!" he yelled cheerfully as he raced towards the owl. He hurriedly untied the letter from its leg and gave it a pat before turning to run off. "Wait a minute young man, you forgot something." said his mother in a stern voice. Perseus stopped suddenly, and turned with a whoops expression on his face. "Sorry mum." he said in a low voice, as he went over to the owl, and gave it a few pets and pats, and got it some water.
"Mum, can I go now?" he said in a pleading voice. She only smiled and nodded. So, he raced into the living room to read his letter. "I can't wait to rub it in Lucius's face, and he said I wouldn't get into any magical school, HA!" he muttered.

Amuri (pronounced 'emery' but sounds like anna marie), a pretty little German girl, was living in Surrey, with her grandparents. Currently, she was in the backyard with her little German Sheppard puppy, Sasha. She still wasn't very used to this new town, so she had spent more and more time with her puppy, much to the dog's joy.
While Sasha was going after the stick Amuri threw, she suddenly stopped and started barking wildly. "Sasha? What tis it?" Amuri said in a bit of an accent. She looked to where the puppy was barking and saw an owl. "I didn't know they flew in the daytime, especially late morning?" she said to herself.
"Sweetheart, that's a school owl. More than likely, it has your school letter." said her grandmother, from behind, startling her, and making her turn around. "Grandmother, are you sure?" Amuri asked a bit sceptically. "Oh yes, this school here, they use owls unlike Durmstrang's using of eagles. I am sure it's your school letter, since I had gone to the same school that sent this owl."
"Ok, grandmother. But what was the name of the school?" she said now very interested voice. She had tried going to Durmstrang the previous year, but was nearly killed when they found out she had lycanthropy, so she dropped out and they moved here not a few months later. She was thankful that her grandparents had brought her to Britain to attend the school here, after the headmaster came to talk to them when they were interested in transferring her, he had told them that another kid with her same ailment was to attend this year also.
Her grandmother held out her arm for the owl to land, and took it's letter. "Well, child. This school's name is Hogwarts." she said giving over the letter.

Lee and Lily, a couple of young muggle girls, sat in Lee's room, each reading a book. As of the moment, they had no idea that magic actually existed. But that was all to change in moment...
ding dong went the doorbell. (lol)
"Learia, answer the door please." said her mum from in the laundry room. They were they only ones in the house. Her father had what he called a job, playing professional baseball, in America. He left every 1st of July to 28th March, to play ball in America. Every year, her aunt Sophie, her dad's sister, would come with her kids and stay with them. Such as like now, they were on a ship, they should be there in a few days.
"Ok mum." She said. She stood up and marked her place in the book she was reading, Wuthering Heights. "I'll be back in a minute Lils." she said. Lily only nodded her head and made a shoo motion, not even listening, making Lee chuckle. As she was walking down the hallway, she wondered who could be at the door, her aunt and cousins weren't due for 2 days. So, she shook her head and opened the door.
"Hello, is this the home of Learia Aeront?" Asked a tall man wearing a long star and moon covered blue thing that looked like a dress, she would later find out was a robe, with long fading red hair, and a beard.
"Yeah, I'm her." she answered curtly looking at him weird. "Mum, there's someone here looking for me!" Lee yelled down the hall.
She got a short answer back, "Don't be rude to the guest!" Lee just grumbled saying that she wasn't being rude, she was just stating the obvious. The tall man just smiled down at her, his evil little blue eyes twinkling like he's plotting the demise of everything, MWAHAHAHAHA-... (sorry, got carried away there) His little blue eyes twinkling, showing his unheard laughter.
"Come on in, I'll go get my mum." Lee muttered, and then turned to go down the hallway. The man, Albus Dumbledork- sorry, Dumbledore, stepped into the house and shut the door.
The house was very cosy, how a good home should feel. He walked over to look at the wall in front of the hallway, to glance at all the pictures. He sees many with Lee in it, as well as some with her and other kids. But, he sees one that stands out the most, a picture of Lee and her dad at a baseball game when she was 8. She sat in his lap as he hugged her from behind, they took it the year before he was signed onto his team. Dumbledore turned to look down the hallway, to see Lee and her mum walk out of the laundry room. "This is him mum." Said Lee gesturing to the Headmaster, McGonagall was a bit busy delivering other letters.
"Ah, miss Aeront, a pleasure to meet you." he said bowing.
... Lee is told everything about the letter and magic ...
"Wow, so I'm really going to a school like this?" She said amazed holding her unopened letter. Dumbledore only smiled and nodded. "Yes, you are. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to deliver a letter to a Miss Lily Evans." He said standing up to leave. Lee suddenly stood up, "Lily Evans who lives down the road, Lily Evans?" she said confused. He nodded his head as a yes. "You don't have to go to her house, she's in my room reading."
Dumbledore had a look of surprise on his face, He didn't expect for them to be familiar with each other, it wasn't all that common for magical muggle children to know each other before Hogwarts. "Well, that'll save me a trip, thank you. If you would be so kind, could you please bring her in here?" Lee excitedly nodded and raced into her bedroom.
And so it went on again, with the same reaction...
"Wait until we tell Sev, he'll be so happy!"

Jon just finished mucking out the stables when he saw a woman walk past who he could swear was wearing robes.
Closing the stables doors he noticed the woman at his front door "My parents aren't in at the moment ma'am."
The woman turned to him and asked "Are you Jonathan Heights?"
He nodded slowly "Yes I am and you are?"
"Minerva McGonagall Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts."
Jon nodded taking that information in then noticed his parents pulling up in the truck "My parents are here now."
His parents got out of the truck and looked at the woman and asked "Can we help you?"
"Yes I'm here to tell you about your Son's admittance into Hogwarts." Motioning to their house she asked "Can we take this conversation inside please?"
When they entered the house and all sat down the deputy headmistress began explaining about the school, magic, muggles (as his parents were called), wizarding currency and so much more. Jon listened to every word that came out of her mouth and smiled when she passed him a letter from Hogwarts. "Thank You."
The woman smiled then stood up "I'm afraid I have to leave now, I have other students to meet."
Once she had left his parents looked at him to see him smiling "I'm special." Jon always in school got bullied for being so normal and now he had proof that he was special the only flaw to that was he could never show his proof to other muggles.

Peter was fast asleep when his mother opened his bedroom door, by ... tapping on the window? He got up groggily, and went to it.
A brown barn owl fluttered in, and stood still on his bed. He walked back over to it, and pulled the letter off.
He opened it.
"I'm in!" he yelled.
"Aw," said his mother, swooping down to hug him, "congrats, sweetie!"
"Mom," he said, sadly, his voice still muffled. "I wanna go to Diagon Alley!!"
--
"Sirius Orion Black!!" Screeched a high pitched voice in the mighty House of Black.
Said boy was lying on his bed with a pillow over his face, attempting to drown out his mother's yelling. His wavey, long black hair was spread in a halo around him and his black satin pjama boxers matched the rest of the depressing room.
"SIRIUS!" The woman downstairs sounded close to having a cardiac arrest.
"Hellish old bat." Sirius muttered, refusing to move. The door to his room unlocked from the outside and his older brother, Regulus, gracefully strode in in a long black robe. His brothers face had a more Greek God look to it that often made Sirius become overlooked for his brothers beauty. Jealous, of course, Sirius enjoyed pointing out that he looked like a girl.
"You need to get ready to go to Diagon Alley."
"I don't have a letter." Sirius popped up, the pillow landing in his lap. his expression was hopeful. "Maybe it won't come and I'll be sent away to live with Aunt Andy!"
Regulus' face twisted in disgust. "Just get some clothes on." He exited the room with a flourish.
Sirius spun onto his feet utop the bed and mock bowed. "Yes all mighty Regala." He hissed then jumped off his bed to get dressed as demanded. There was a faint scratch behind the heavily curtained window and Sirius let out a heavy sigh. "I guess Im not going anywhere." He parted the black curtains and let in the family owl. It bit at his hand as he undid the letter and Sirius cursed, shooing the bird away. Rather than use the pleasant Hogwarts' birds, Mother ahd insited on Artemis delivering their Hogwarts letters.
He opened the seal to check that he was indeed accepted before throwing it on his bed and putting a blue T-shirt on over his pale chest. He closed the door behind him and walked downstairs.
The screeching followed a few seconds later. "You are a disgrace! Go get a proper shirt on or so help me I'll-!"
--
A young girl with electric blue hair sat in a large room, flailing widely.
"Get him! Dont you dare die! Oh! OH! Awww man!" The game in front of her showed the dreaded 'Game Over' sign and she put down the controller. She folded her arms in a pout.
"Ann!"
"Yes Mom?" Ann called back. Hearing silence, she knew it to be a summon as she hefted herself from the bean bag chair and walked out of the dark room. As she turned to enter the bright living room another loud call of "Ann!" rang in her ears like little men beating on her head.
"You don't need to yell, I'm right here." Ann informed her mother who was standing in the middle of the living room wearing a yellow shirt and beige trousers. Her curly blonde hair was slightly frizzy, framing her plump face like an older Shirley Temple. The lady jumped slightly then smiled brightly, lighting up the already honey coloured room even more.
"Guess what I've got?" He mother teased.
"A box of streamers?" Ann said excitedly. Her mother seemed to droop at her daughters excitement.
"No. Try again."
"A stuffy?"
"No."
"Water balloons?"
"No!" Her mother threw up her hands in frustration, exposing the letter hidden behind her back. "You're insufferable! Its a letter to my school of magic!" She held it out in front of her and Ann examined the red seal. She had heard her mother talk of this school and seen both her parents do magic but it never occurred to her that she too may be magical enough to be accepted. It was nothing special in their household far away in the mountains of Canada.

So the students got their letters and most had different reactions. They were all going to a school where they would either become friends or enemies maybe they wouldn't even meet. But in a school like Hogwarts there was little chance that they would not meet.
But First before any one of them could step foot in the magnificent school they would have to go to Diagon Alley where they had chances of meeting before Hogwarts.
Now they may make friends but when it would come to the sorting would they still be friends if they find out that they are in a House like Gryffindor or Slytherin.
Would the feud between the houses stop a friendship that started well before the sorting?
Now we will see what friendships are made and later we will see if they last.
