Jessica Flynn was nothing special, and I mean NOTHING! She was the average girl, played with her dolls wore dresses, and such. She had dirty blond almost light brown hair, and bright blue eyes. Jessica was easy to get along with and everyone loved her. Her parents couldn't have been more proud of how turned out. Jessica was also an only child, so she got lonely very easily.
Around the age when most witches and wizards begin showing some signs of power, Jessica was feeling particularly lonely. She had one of her larger dolls in hand, when it suddenly became a puppy. The puppy yapped and her mother began to question what was going on, she never bought Jessica a talking toy!
As she came up the stairs and peeked into Jessica's room, she saw a puppy. She couldn't believe her eyes! 'How could Jessica have made this?' She thought. 'Is it even a living puppy?' Her mother walked into the room very quietly to grab the dog, while Jessica had her back turned. She grabbed the dog by the breastbone and felt- could it be? - A heartbeat! This dog was alive!
She began to ask Jessica how this puppy had gotten into their home. Jessica shrugged and said that she had wanted a puppy playmate, and then her doll turned into the puppy. Jessica's mother nearly fainted. But she kept calm and asked more questions. She asked things like, Did it hurt, How did you do this, How long have you been able to do this, etc. Jessica shrugged and said I don't know to most of her questions. Her mother asked Jessica to change the dog back to a doll, but Jessica wasn't sure she could do it. They had the puppy in their house for the next 3 days.
Jessica had many other experiences during those first 10 years, looking at things and making them come to her, seeing the future, and making things levitate. Her parents had barely gotten used to it when a letter came to Jessica, a month before her August 15th birthday. It was delivered…by owl.
The letter read:
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc. Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Ms. Flynn.
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
Jessica took the news well; her parents on the other hand, were scared stiff. 'Our daughter…..a WITCH?' They thought nervously. 'I knew that she had always been…different than the other girls, but a WITCH?' By the time the snapped out of it, Jessica had already written her letter telling Professor McGonagall the she would gladly go. They noticed this just as she released the owl back out the window towards wherever it came from.
"It says here I have to buy these things in….diagonally? No wait, Diagon Alley. Mum? Dad? We have to go to Diagon Alley right away." Jessica said snapping her fingers in front of her parents' faces. Her parents finally calmed down enough to go to Diagon Alley with her. But they would go tomorrow; they had had a long day, even though it was only 9:00 AM.
Jessica couldn't wait until the next day. The witches, the wizards, the wands, hat, magic, THE WHOLE THING! She couldn't sleep and dreamed about what would happen the next day. And so this...is her story.
