Chapter 1 – Letters
Clunk. The letter box swings shut and Mum glanced up at Emilia from across the table.
"Go get the post, Emz."
"I got it yesterday; make Zosh get it!" Emilia groaned.
"Emilia." Mum looked up from her paper. "Do as I say."
"Fine..." Emilia got to her feet grumpily ignoring her sister's grin and went into the hall, leant down at the door and picked up the post. She sorted through it, muttering to herself.
"Bill, junk, Aunt Mabel, bill -"
She stopped. A smile crept onto her face and she practically skipped back into the kitchen, throwing the post onto the table but gripping her letter proudly. "Hogwarts has written again!" she grinned.
"That'll be your stuff for this year." Dad grinned as well, "check through; see what you need."
"Righto." There was better light in the hall so Emilia went back there to rip open her envelope. The letter from Hogwarts fell out...and so did another envelope. Frowning in confusion, Emz leaned down and picked it up reading the name on it. "Zosh!" she called, a grin creeping back onto her face "Get here now!"
"Why?" Her sister called back
"Just come here!" Emilia could barely contain her excitement.
"But I'm eating."
"ZOSHIA...NOW!" Emilia screamed.
"Fine..." Zoshia walked in a resigned fashion into the hall and looked at Emilia. "This better be important."
"You bet it is."
"O...Kay then, what is it?"
"It's... well... erm... just look at this." She said handing Zoshia the envelope with the emerald green glimmering in the spotlight.
"WHAT THE FLIPPING H*CK."
"ZOSHIA, LANGUAGE!" Mum yelled
"But it's not even rude" Emilia and Zosh said in unison.
"I can't believe this." Said Zoshia "I'm just so...so, I don't even know. Heck."
"How do you think I feel?" Emilia said grinning
"I-I-I-"
"Don't even try to explain how two muggle borns from the same family have been accepted into Hogwarts, I get how I did seeing as I am a morphamagus but YOU I never would have guessed!" Emilia said "why don't we go in there and surprise them."
"Sounds like a great idea." Zoshia said trying to contain her excitement. They both walked back into the kitchen and as they did their Mum said "So what was that about?"
"Oh, nothing much" Zoshia replied "only I -"
"She's been accepted into Hogwarts!" Emilia butted in.
"Have you really?" questioned their Dad, wide eyed with a slight tone of surprise in his voice.
"Yes because I'd lie about something as important as this." Zoshia retorted.
"Yeah her letter was inside mi -" Emilia started
"So what's on your list?"
"Oops I forgot to check. I'll just go now" Emilia said as she walked back, again, into the hall.
