PLEASE REVIEW! I highly value other peoples feedback and I really need it.
They saw the owls swooping down towards their house. James didn't know what they were for. Nor did his sister, Keira. All thay knew was that this meant that there was mail. Expecting the owls to glide down toward their mother, who was currently working in the garden, it was a big surprise when the owls came to each of them. Keira was used to this, having been adopted three years ago and still having friends from Ireland, who couldn't really hang out with her. James on the other hand had only gotten an owl one or two times.
Recieving the letters, and upon examination, were stamped with a red seal with the Hogwarts crest stamped on it. This meant they either got into Hogwarts, or were declined. James open his with a clean swipe and the letter read,
Congratulations Mr. Potter,
You have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of your required material. Term starts September first.
Signed, Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
Keira quickly pealed off the seal and found a letter with almost the same text, side from her name (Ms. Devlin) and an enclosed letter from the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore,
Keira Devlin,
Our staff has been informed of your previous education in witchcraft and has come to a consensus that you shall be placed in third year classes. This is because we don't want you having to sit through classes you have already taken. I believe that the third years should accommodate to you and treat you quite nicely.
Sincerely, Albus Dumbledore
James looked over her shoulder and exclaimed aloud,
"What 'previous' education?"
"When I lived in Ireland I was homeschooled for two years. I was on my third year when everything fell apart and I had to move here."
James used to be used to this mysterious event in which everything fell apart but now he really felt annoyed. His parents one day told him that they wanted to know if he would be okay with having a sister, when he said yes they told him that a girl from Ireland was recently orphaned was his age. They didn't say how her parents died, what happened or even how they heard about her. When Keira came to their house she was very quiet. She still was. She wouldn't say much about life in Ireland accept the occasional talk ofa friend that she recieved news from. James still didn't know anything about her. Now he had at least one thing he knew.
