Harry Potter belongs to J.K Rowling and most of the characters in this story.
PROLONG
Today I turn 11. I'm really excited as I have a party planned which my parents are throwing me. I have received my presents from my family, I got; a new blue dress with daisies printed on it, a pair of matching sandals, £20, a skipping rope, a book called Marked and I got a very strange letter through the post late this morning. The letter didn't arrive with the usual post nor did I see any mail carrier put it through the letterbox.
My parents also thought it was weird. I looked at the name on the envelope just to make sure there wasn't a mistake. Turning it around so I could open it I notice the red waxed seal I had no clue to what it was neither did my mum or dad.
I slowly opened the letter not knowing what to expect inside, my parents sat anxiously waiting.
I took the folded paper out of the envelope, unfolded it and read aloud for my mum and dad to hear;
'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 Miss Asoul,
We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl no later than 31 July.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress'
CHAPTER ONE.
I read the letter over and over then I finally looked at my parents who too must have had weird thoughts going through their minds. "Mum, what does this mean? I am a little confused." I ask unsure what to expect the answer to be. My mum put her arm around my shoulder and said, "There is something we have to explain to you." I look at her and smile.
We sit down in the front room mum and dad sat on the two seat settee and myself was sat on the one seat. I braced myself for the dreaded conversation that started my whole new life.
"Sweetie, you need to listen to what me and your dad are about to say." my mum said calmly. " I am a wizard and your mum is a witch. You are probably thinking why we are telling you this now, well the reason being we didn't want your school friends to think you're a freak because that is what I went through." My dad said. I was nodding in agreement with what he was saying to shocked to ask any questions about the situation but then my mum spoke, "Hogwarts is an amazing school. When I got my letter I was so excited. I met your father there but I'll tell you that another time. The real main reason we didn't tell you is because the less you knew about magic the safer you was from him." Tears started to form in my mum's eyes. My dad comforted her and sent me to my room whilst he writes to Dumbledore.
As I sit in my room my mind goes into overload.
I'm a witch?
My birthday party got cancelled which was disappointing as I was really looking forward to seeing my friends.
My dad shouted me down for lunch which was my favorite (cheese and cucumber sandwiches), then we had a can of cola.
As we was sat in the dinning room talking about Hogwarts there was a knock on the front door. I got up to look out the window to see that it was my dad's sister auntie Heleena and her daughter Scarlet. I never got on with Scarlet as I only saw her on my birthday. My mum let's them both in taking their coats which she hung up.
"Hello darling brother, has it really been a year?" Heleena asked as she hugged my dad. My dad nodded. "How have you and Scarlet been?" "Good thank you Nicky" Heleena replies.
"The main reason to why we are here is because Scarlet has been accepted into Hogwarts where we went." My dad nods and pulls my letter out from under his newspaper, "So did Lexi." he said. Heleena smiled and took a seat on the dinning chair her dyed purple hair popped out of the bobble holding it. "Where is my niece? I need to give her something." Heleena asked as she scanned around for my dark brown hair. Her eyes finally found me and I walked over to her. "Hi auntie Heleena, did you say you have something for me?" I say.
Heleena pulled out of her bag a book, she handed it to me and I looked at the cover 'Hogwarts: A History' I smiled at her and gave her a hug. Scarlet who was talking to my mum kept watching me which was really weird.
"Jasmine, would it be ok if you took Scarlet with you to Diagon Alley and then to the train please? Things are busy at home as we are refurbishing her room as well as mine and Davies'." Heleena asked, my mum nodded.
"I best be off then. Scarlet's things will be here soon." Heleena said as she got up, she kissed Scarlet's head and left.
During the rest of the afternoon Scarlet and I went to the park and sat on the swings talking about magic. When it started getting dark we returned home and had our tea.
Everyone was sat on the sofa's watching tv till it came close to bed time. "Come on girls bed. Busy day tomorrow and loads to do." my mum said. Scarlet and I went up to my room and saw that all her things was here.
I climbed into my top bunk and Scarlet was on the bottom. It took a while for me to drift of to sleep but I managed it. I had an amazing dream about flying on a broomstick.
Sorry about the shortness of this, next chapters will contain more.
