Chapter one: The letter
It was just a normal day in Godrics Hollow, a wizarding town i live in. I was sitting in the living room taking care of my little sister, Camila, and my younger brother, Shayne. My mom was washing the clothes with a magic spell, and my dad was at work in the ministry.
"Hey Rayyveeennnn,' Camila whined. "What school are you going to go to?"
"Well I want to go to Beauxbatons, lets hope i get accepted!" I smiled at her.
"Is it that prancy girly school?" Shayne complained. I rolled my eyes at him.
At that moment our families owl, godrick, came through the window with mail. He landed right in front of me and tilted his head.
"Go give mom the mail Godrick." I said knowing its not for me. But he just tilted his head to the other side.
"Just take it," Camila said brushing her dolls hair. I rolled my eyes and pet godrick as i took the mail from him.
The envelope said, HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY. To Raven Edwards, 1708 Godrics Hallow.
"Mom?" I asked looking at it not sure of what to do.
"Yes dear?" My mom said walking toward me wiping her hands on a towel.
"What is this?" I handed her the letter as godrick flew back out the window.
"Oh my goodness! You've been accepted to Hogwarts!" I gave her a puzzled look. "Oh dear this is the school me and your father went to!"
"Really? B-but mom i want to go to beauxbatons.."
"W-well yes dear, i-its up to you where you want to go." She looked disappointed in me.
I sighed and shook my head, "Well i need to know more about hogwarts mom. You never told me about it."
She sat down next to me, "Well Hogwarts is the best school for witches and wizards. When you enter your sorted into one of four houses."
I signaled her to continue, "Either the daring brave Gryffindors, Smart witty Ravenclaws, Slytherins who will do anything to get what they want and are really cunning, or you might be in Hufflepuff the finders and loyal ones."
"Mom why do they sort people away from each other? That makes no sense."
"Its just how its always been, you see the founders way back when each wanted to only teach certain students with certain traits. They feuded over only accepting certain types of students in the school. Until finally they made an agreement to make houses and have them pick and choose who they want."
"That's just weird." I commented, I didn't want to admit that hogwarts seemed cool.
"Its an amazing school, and its close by too. Closer then Beauxbatons..." She paused. "But of course you can go where ever you want." She stood up, "Well I'm going to go to finish washing clothes."
She walked away back to do the laundry. I opened the letter from Hogwarts.
It read, Dear Mrs. Edwards,

I smiled a little bit, I wanted to go to Hogwarts now.
"Hey Mom!" I called.
She came over to me. "Yes?"
"I want to go to Hogwarts." I said smiling.
