Set before Alice becomes a vampire. On her 11th birthday, Mary Alice gets a letter from a school she has never heard of. Then an old looking gentleman walks into her house. What next? Read on...Rated T just in case :

1. Receiving the Letter

"Mary Alice, dear, you have mail."

I picked up the envelope off the kitchen table and looked at it. After a while confused at the name 'Hogwarts' on the back of the envelope, I opened the letter.

"Wow. Mum! I've been accepted at a school I've never heard of!"

"Mary Alice, dear, how is that possible? If you've not heard of the school how can you be accepted to it?"

Just as my mother spoke, there was a knock at the door. I hid out of plain sight. My mother told me always to do this when there was someone at the door that we weren't expecting.

Mother opened the door and an old looking gentleman walked into our hallway.

"Good Morning, Mrs Brandon, Mary Alice. I'm here to tell you all about Hogwarts."
