A quick aside, Hi! I had this idea because I read HP a long time ago and thought hey wouldn't that be neat? So here you go! I wasn't sure where to go in through so bear with my oc please!
Carly shifted in her bed, ignoring the knocking downstairs. She heard her mother yell "I'll be there in a moment!" and shuffle downstairs to the door. She imagined her mother in her bathrobe, coffee in hand as she sleepily opened the door. She heard a deep voice ask for her, Carly Graham. She perked up in bed.
"What?" she whispered to herself.
"What?!" she heard her mother say loudly downstairs. Then she jumped outta bed in her pjs and went fast downstairs to see what was up.
"Witch school? You're crazy!"
Carly got downstairs and saw a large brown haired man with a kind face but she prickled with the weird air around him.
"Carly, don't worry about it, go on back to bed honey." her frazzled mom said.
"Hogwarts would like for her attend." He said. "Hello Carly I'm Hagrid."
He put his hand out and she shook his hand awkwardly.
"Hi..."
She watched her mother stare at him then grab her arms and pulled her away.
"Give me a moment with my daughter to talk about this."
"Of course!"
She sat her daughter on the couch in the next room and sat next to her and began whispering.
"You have been chosen for some witch school, you didnt sign up for anything did you?"
Carly shook her head.
"Mom,I have a stirring in my soul about this. What if..."
"What if God wants you there? There will be witches and warlocks!"
She hugged her mom.
"Mom it'll be ok, Jesus will never let anything happen to me. He also loves everyone. Even these witches and everyone at that school."
Her mom pursed her lips.
"If that's what you feel will help them..."
"God wouldn't be telling me to go if it weren't going to glorify him in some way, momma."
Her mother smile and kissed her forehead.
"I am so proud of you. Alright. You can go then under the condition that you call me every night and tell me if you want to leave. I'll help you pack."
They embraced then went to tell the strange big man.
her mother held her hand the entire drive there.
"I'm so scared for you but I can feel God's hand here. I just need strength to let you do this."
Carly squeezed her hand. Her strawberry blond hair was braided behind her and she laid her hands on her lap in her skirt of the long blue sundress she wore and the cross she had over her heart on a gold necklace chain. She looked into her mom's light blue eyes she shared with her and her fair skin and freckles she also took after. She was almost her mom's twin. She took nearly nothing from her late dad, how she missed him. She wished he was here to hold her other hand for she was terrified now. The witch books she had in her bag at her feet felt too heavy. They were by people with weird names, Starhawk? Silver Ravenwolf? Did their parents name them those names? Scott Cunningham and Laurie Cabot at least sounded normal. But the books were covered in these occult symbols and she only recognized the pentagrams on them. She gulped.
They had given her a long wand that was supposed to have a "unicorn's hair" in it.
"Lord, let not the enemy take me in his kingdom." she prayed in her head.
Then her heart's fear drained as His comforting hand held her heart still. The upside was the beautiful black and white owl she got. It was very happy to be around her and very quiet. It sat in its cage napping in the back. She named him Micah. She was very terse when they got to the train station as they packed her up to get ready.
They walked along the track looking for their stop. Micah woke up and watched curious as they went along.
"How is it a half of a station?" her mom grunted.
Carly looked up and saw a red headed boy run towards a pillar and almost shouted that he would get hurt when he passed right through.
Feeling the ripple of the occult come from the act she knew thats what it was. the half a station. She wheeled over to the family of the boy.
"Is that how you get in, ma'am?" she asked the redhead lady.
She smiled lovingly like a natural mother to all and nodded.
"You just run right through, love."
Her mother came over and put her arm around her.
"Good luck, babygirl." she kissed her and stepped back as her daughter bit her lip and nervously began strolling faster and faster at the wall. She shut her eyes tight and passed right through, feeling almost weightless till she got to the other side. she sighed and continued to the train. She got on and found her seat and sat by the window and watched all the other people get on. She prayed all would be well...
