I wrote this at 4am, do not h8 if I messed up, please read & review
There was a light tap on the window, making me sit up in bed looking at the owl, now attacking the window with its beak. What looked like a type of parchment was wrapped around its left leg, I opened the window just enough so I could slip my hand through and grab the parchment, I've never liked owls.
I plopped down on my the end of my bed, and as fast as I did so my insides seemed to stay in the air as the rest of my body came crashing down to the floor. I didn't take anymore chances and sat on the floor unraveling the letter and read my name written in black ink and some other rubbish I already knew. "Mother!" I called knowing she would like to spend this moment with me. She replied and said she would be up in a minute.
Staring down at my letter I turned it over to see the Hogwarts emblem stamped the envelope closed.
I looked up to see my reflection in a large built in mirror, my hair was a mess of dark blond curls which would usually reach a couple inches above my shoulders but now up to my ears in an almost afro like state. My nightwear seemed to be shrinking everyday, I would get my mother to send an owl for some new clothing soon, or maybe when we are down at Diagon Ally we can shop a bit. My Mum said my Dad was quite tall, so she was expecting many growth spurts, hopefully she won't be upset if I ask for some new gowns.
I blinked.
The golden amber color of my eyes weren't as bright as they usually were, haven't been all summer. Mother says its because I've been missing my friends, and I second it. What was taking her so long?
"Here!" She singsonged, always on que. "What is it Amber?" I smiled and waved the letter in the air which made her smile even wider. "Ohhh cheers darling!"
I finally ripped open the letter and read through the acceptance letter and passed the requirement list to her. She let out a little groan and I saw her tilt her head a little in the corner of my eye. "What is it Mum?"
"Nothing to worry about, darling, just going to have to make a visit to Gringotts, dip into my parents vault again, they won't mind" I nodded and looked back at the letter holding it close to my chest. I had been waiting for this so long, finally my years at Hogwarts will begin.
"AMBER AMBER"
"AMBER DIDJA GET YOUR LETTER?"
"AMBER WE ARE BACCCKK!"
"AMMMBERRR" Turning my head to my closed window I saw two ginger headed boys running this way staring up into this window with wide identical grins on. My mum shook her head and told me she would send them up and I thanked her.
One of the boys stopped before passing my window to the door and waved, than stuffed his hands in his pockets nonchalantly. "Hey Amber, how have ya been?" I didn't have time to answer for the other brother was calling him.
"Fred! Come ON!" I laughed as he looked at me like he was about to be punished by his mother and ran toward the door, and knowing his mother made me laugh out loud once more.
It had only taken a few moments for the twins to fly into her room and jump on the bed. "Nice hair," George laughed "so are you excited?"
"More nervous really. I hear the sorting is brutal." Fred nodded heavily as his brother looked over to him slyly. "My mom said they dig into your mind, find out every little thing that you've ever thought." And again they nodded.
"Well I heard," Fred began, eyes widening. "That its like a torture device that they force all of this out of you, with electricity" I looked at him in all seriousness, he must be kidding.
"Why.. would they do such barbaric things to children?" I more of stated this to myself, to assure that there was no way they would use such muggle technology in a school, mainly one that could perform magic that could do far worse. They both began to laugh and Fred shrugged. "Whatever you guys don't have to worry about anything, you are bound to be Gryffindor"
"And you are bound to be Hufflepuff" I gaped and stared at George throwing a pillow in his direction, which he dodged in time, or it might of just flown around him, who knows. "Fine, fine, you won't be in Hufflepuff you are too cruel.." He laughed again and locked eye contact with Fred.
"Yeah she is definitely Slytherin" Fred said as if they have been having this discussion for awhile now. I sat on the ground hard and they both looked down still smiling. "Now what are you doing down there?" I stared him down, and soon gave up.
"You guys suck." They both laughed and I later joined in. After a few moments time, George had suggested to play a little quidditch, Weasley family vs the Kitts, after comparing my two to their nine I declined yet still dressed, grabbed my broom and walked over to the empty pitch they would play in. I played keeper while the twins threw quaffle after quaffle at me. After a good hour the twins younger brother came over and wanted to join, I flew down hopping off my broom and grabbing the snitch from their quidditch set. I let it go and as soon as it seemed as if it was out of my grasp I grabbed it. I couldn't wait for my second year I knew I would make the team, I had to.
I looked back up to the three red haired boys and Ron, the younger brother, playing as keeper and his brothers playing more of a "whoever hits him in the face with the quaffle most wins". Ron's nose ended up being broken and he ended up running back to the burrow yelling something about beaters.
"Finally he is gone," George said "He is a really good keeper"
"Yeah I don't think we got one goal over him!"
