Dear Miss. Turine

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on september first, we await your owl by no later than July 31.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

Avenna glanced from the letter, to her mother, back to the letter and then towards the woman who had delivered the letter. A Mrs. McGonagall who was now sitting looking at her expectantly.

"Now I'm sure you have some questions Miss Turine so let's start with the easiest fir-"

"But Ms. McGonagall" Avenna interrupted, "I already know about Hogwarts and magic and all that." This seemed to shock the professor who turned to look inquiringly at her mother

"But the quill thought she was a muggleborn?" McGonagall said,

"Oh she is" Ms. Turine hurried to state "but my sister was a muggleborn as well so as soon as Avenna started showing magic I called her and confirmed that Avenna was a witch."

"You're sister?" McGonagall asked, "Oh yes! Beryl Turine, although she's Beryl Jewel now. I think she was in slythurit, sliyerin? When she was in hogwarts."

"Ah yes, I remember her." McGonagall said, and she did remember her, Beryl Turine had been one of the few muggleborn slytherins to grace Hogwarts and McGonagall chided herself on not remembering the name. Looking at the woman across from her she could she the family resemblance, Ms. Garnet Turine had the same dark skin and wavy black hair and dark blue eyes as her sister, although her eyes were currently hidden by a pair of purple glasses, she was a bit stockier than her sister McGonagall mused before turning her attention to Miss Avenna Turine the recipient of the letter. Avenna was about average height for a girl her age with a stocky figure that spoke of hours in her room reading as much as she could and not a lot of physical activity, her eyes were hidden by blue visor like glasses but they looked like light green from what McGonagall could see, but the feature that stood out the most was her hair. While her mother and aunt had slightly wavy black hair, Avenna's hair was a curly mess of dark red that rose above her head by at least a foot and framed her face in an explosion of curls. She was wearing a black skirt with black flats and a light green T - shirt.

"Well," said "I apologize for taking up your time and I expect to see you at hogwarts Miss. Turine."

"Of course!" Avenna replied.

"And besides" Garnet said "It's our fault you had to come all the way out here. We should have realised that someone would have been sent out for Avenna and we should have mailed that we already knew about Hogwarts."

"It was no trouble." Mcgonagall replied heading out the door.

"So…" Avenna said turning to her mum after Mcgonagall had left, "does that mean we can go to Diagon Alley soon?"

"How about this weekend?" Garnet replied "and before you ask, you cannot bring your chemistry kit in place of your Hogwarts potions kit."

"But mum!"

"No Avenna."

"Fine, spoilsport."
