The letter came on my 14th birthday. I woke up and saw it, sitting perfectly on the kitchen table. My mom sitting beside it. When she heard me she looked up and smiled.
"It's here, but its 3 years late." She said standing up and giving me the letter.
I help the brown envelope in my hands, and felt the wax holding it together on the back. I read the front,
Ashlee Kiore
8976 Maple Drive N.W.
G5 9H7
Glasgow, Scotland.
I turned it over, and peeled the wax off the paper. I opened the letter, and read it to my self.
Dear Ms. Kiore.
Sorry that the letter took so long to get to you. But we were having some trouble with the ministry and some of our students. It was in your best interest that we did not let you come for the first three years, and let your mother teach you instead. We would love if you would join us this year, and for the next years until you graduate. You will have to get sorted into a house with the first years, but I'm sure your new house mates will welcome you with open arms. We have been watching you as your mother taught you, and know that you will be one of our best students.
See you in a few weeks.
Sincerely,
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
I set the letter down, and looked at my mom. She was still smiling.
"What?" I said, flicking a piece of bread onto the floor where our dog went after it.
"Your going to Hogwarts" She beamed "and so am I, I'm going to be one of the new school nurses"
"Oh, joy"
"Come on, cheer up Ash its going to be a great year. You'll make lots of new friends, and you could even go out for the quidditch team. You're an awesome keeper; I've never seen anyone better than you."
"Hmmmm, thanks mom" I sighed, walking back up the stairs to my room. Our dog followed behind me. I closed the door, and Lucy look up at me.
"Do you think I should go?" I asked her, she looked at me, and tilted her head. "Hm, I know. It is weird. Why didn't they give me the letter when I was 11? Why wait till I'm 14."
I flopped down on my bed and looked up at my roof. There was a picture of the Dutch quiddatch team hanging on my ceiling. Viktor Krum the main focus image. Lucy jumped up onto my bed and started licking my face.
"Lie down" I mumbled, she obeyed and rested her head on my stomach. I drifted into a deep sleep.
My dream was vivid, there was a boy and a girl. The boy had black hair with piercing teal eyes, and the girl had reddish brown curly hair. The boy held his hand out to me, I took it without thinking, and he pulled me close and pressed his lips to mine, he weaved his fingers through mine and we walked down the corridor. We met another boy at the end, his hair was bright red, and his robe was tattered. He kissed the girl we were walking with. All four of us continued to walk, no one talking. The black haired boy turned to me, smiled and kissed me again. Lovingly, passionately. He whispered I love you into my ear, I smiled and reached up to kiss him again.
