Joseline had never experienced so much happiness happening at the
same time in her life before. At first it had all seemed like a crazy
dream, and she had frequently pinched self to escape from it. But amazingly
enough, it was all real. All of it. Diagon Alley, wands, wizards, witches ,
giants, all of the so called "immaginary" things she had believed in as a
child.
At first, when she had recieved her hogwarts letter she had though the owl was lost, and had been trapped inside her house by its own stupidity. But no. This owl had flown in willingly and surprisingly dropped a golden coloured letter on her lap and flown quickly out the window and into the night.
Jose approched the letter with a well desevered caution. She wasn't about to take chances with a letter that had just been delivered by an owl. She looked around the room, almost searching for her little brother to jump out and tell her it was all a joke. She waited. Nothing happened. After ten minutes of just staring at the letter, she decided she better open the letter now, or that the owl would be back with another letter. Some how, unknowingly she was sure of it.
Joseline pounced on the letter as though she was a cat, and it was her prey. She didnt know where all of this sudden enthuasim to open her letter came from, but she felt as though it had just "magically" appeared.
Joseline looked the letter over. There was her name and address, beautifully written on the front in purple ink. She turned the letter it over, and found herself face to face with an odd type of crest. It had a snake, a lion, a badger and a raven or some sort of eagle all surrounding the letter "H" inside a shield. Shegazed down and found lettering at the bottom of the crest .
" Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus".
"Old Latin!" She whispered, completely facinated. Joseline loved languages. She had a unusual knack for understanding and reconising them. Once she had grown up she wanted to be a linguist. But something about this letter told her that all of that would change. Her hands began to tingle as she reached for the seal on the letter. It broke cleanly, leaving no marks or smudges whatsoever. Her excitement building, she quickly unfolded the letter....
Dear Ms.Joseline Dabeydeen ( It read). We are please to inform you that you have been excepted at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Joseline put the letter down in shock. This couldn't be real. It just couldn't be. How could there be a school of witchcraft if magic didn't exsist? Was this just a big prank pulled by her brother? She had never know her brother to have a cruel sence of humor, but with little brothers, you could never be too sure.
Joseline's curiosity got the better of her, as she found herself beginning to open the re-folded letter once again. After reading throught the first page of writing, she found that this letter had three pages. The second of those pages was a list of supplies that she would need for her first year at the school. Wands? Owls? Potions? Where could she get all this? It had to be a joke.
Joseline stood up to throw the paper into the fire, but just as she did, the window blew open and the sheets went everywhere. She bent down to pick them up and found herself looking at the third and final sheet of the pages. She couldn't believe her eyes.
Hello! (the page read) Are you thinking that this letter is a joke? Are you planning on burning this letter? DONT! This is as real as real could be!
Let us explain.
For hundreds of thousands of years man kind has thought that it is alone on the planet. They have also thought that they are the only intelligent life
form thriving on the earth. They are wrong. As long as man kind has exsisted, so have wizards and witches. We are a special kind of kin-folk with extraordinary powers. We live all over the world, and overpopulate the population of humans (or "muggles" as we call them). We live in secret from these muggles, or people like you, because if the human race knew of our
exsistence, they would bombard us with pleas and questions about how to
solve their problems with magic.
You have been specially choosen to come to our school of Witchcraft and Wizardry because you have shown extraordinary powers for a child of your age. Please only show your family members of this letter for we must keep
it a secret. There are many other muggles who attend our school, so you will not feel left out. We are including 100 galleons, sickles, and knuts
(our money) for your use in our wizarding world. Your parents can also
exchange britsh notes for more our money.
To find our world, please go to the Leaky Cauldron on 666 Magik Lane in
London. Go inside and ask for Tom. Tell him your situation and he shall show you the way to our world. Our school starts on September the first at kingscross station, Platform 9 and 3/4 at 11:00 sharp. Do not be late. Your ticket is included in this package. More shall be explanied as soon as you
go to the Leakey Cauldron.
Have a nice day!
Sincerly,
Albus Dumbledor, Headmaster of Hogwarts
Joseline put down the letter smiling. Now it all makes sence! All of the wierd things she had made happen. The magic feelings she always felt! They could all be explained in this new world. Her world.
"Mom, Dad! I have something to show you, and I dont think you're going to believe it..."
