The hard sound of of rain and thunder banged against all corners of the dark brown bricked house in a small village named Ikkley. The house shook and rattled, waking up the almost 11 year old girl in her almost too small bed. She rubbed her eyes and stretched. She looked to her bedside table and turned on her lamp. Looking over to her clock, she noticed it was time to get up. It was a pretty horrible day but that wouldn't stop this young girl from being her happy self.
She rose from her bed, looking around her room. The walls were bright purple, clashing with the turquoise bed sheets. Her dresser was too large to really fit into place beside her bed, but she could still walk freely around her room. She walked to her dresser and picked up her dream diary. She quickly walked to her dark brown desk and started to write down her dream.
I was being chased down a hall, the wind travelling against me. My name was being called from all different directions and I didn't know if I wanted to find out who was calling for me. I looked behind me to find nobody chasing me, but I still felt the need to run. I ran too another vacant hallway and found a dead end. I walked to the dead and lifted a hand to the wall. I knew this place, I recognize this place… Where am I?
Behind my hand a door was appearing. I gasped and withdrew my hand. What's going on? Should I open the door? Whats behind it? I put my hand on the door handle and pulled the door was beginning to open and-
She couldn't remember the rest. She tried her best to search all ends of her brain but to no avail, she could not find any memories. A loud BANG interrupted her thoughts and she tightly closed her eyes and balled up her fists. How could I not realize what was happening outside? Thunder storms scared her to death, but she wouldn't tell anybody that. Not even her own father.
She got up from her desk and put her diary away. Getting back into bed, she hid underneath the covers. When she was younger, her new puppy she had just gotten for her birthday ran outside in the middle of a storm, causing an approaching car to hit the poor thing. She felt it was her fault, no matter how many times her parents told her that it was nobody's fault but the puppy's for not knowing any better.
The thunder stopped after 10 minutes and she reluctantly got out of bed. She strode to the washroom across the hall from her room. The walls inside were painted green, andThe accent colour was yellow. Her parents had never had the best fashion sense. She did her business and went on to wash her hands. Looking into the mirror she stared at her self. Dark green eyes shone back at her, looking down at her quizzically. Her dark brown hair was in a kind of afro, and her lips were big. She had a cupid's bow, making them have shape. Her skin was dark, a nice caramel. She had always been told she was pretty, and she believed. Her parents told her that its okay to be secure with yourself.
'KATIE? ITS TIME TO GET UP DEAR, SOMETHING SPECIAL CAME IN THE MAIL FOR YOU!' Her father, Augustus Poltiss said excitedly from downstairs. 'COME DOWN QUICK, I DONT THINK ILL BE ABLE TO HOLD IN MY EXCITEMENT!'
'OH CALM DOWN AUGUSTUS, ITS ONLY HER HOGWARTS LETTER!' Her other father, Bastien, laughed.
'OH MY GOSH ITS CAME? ILL BE RIGHT DOWN!' She yelled back.
She ran to her room and changed into a cry hoodie and a pair of jeans. She ran outside her room and down the stairs to the hallway that leads to the kitchen. She ran to her fathers and hugged them each, as hard as she could. They laughed and hugged just as tight.
'Where is it? Can I see it? Oh my gosh I'm so excited guys!' She practically yelled. They looked at each other and winked.
'Oh honey, were terribly sorry. It seems we've lost it. Perhaps you can wait until next year.' Bastion said with a twinkle in his eye, though Katie couldn't tell if it was a tear or not.
'No way! You're lying I know it! Papa is smiling! Now you're laughing, Daddy! See I knew you were lying!' She said laughing as well.
'It seems you've caught us, Katie. As your prize, is your letter from Hogwarts!' Augustus said with a large smile on his face. He handed her the letter. On the letter it said in green writing,

Katie excitedly tore open the letter, and immediately started the read the letter.
