[authors note:
This story is inspired by the mugglebornheadcanontumblr account, I am by no means a writer, this is my first ever story, but I felt the need to put those awesome ideas into a story. Some of these ideas came from the account others I came up with myself. Enjoy.]
Chapter 1: Prologue
[Summer before 1st year]
BEEP ... BEEP ... BEEP ...
My alarm clock read 7:00 am.
I slap the alarm clock but in my attempt to turn it off I end up knocking it of the night stand. I groan and throw the blankets of off me and get out of bed. I pick up the alarm clock and turn it off. That's when it hits me: Today's the final day of elementary school!
I hurriedly get dressed and grab my phone to see Max sent me a text.
I'm walking you to school, see you at 8:00.
Max is my best friend, he's almost thirteen because he had to redo 5th grade: the year we met. I shoot a quick text back agreeing to it and go downstairs to eat my cereal and pack my bag for the day, not that there's much in it seeing it's the last day of school. The doorbell rings and I hurry to open it.
"Hey Eden, what's up?" Max greets me.
"Late as always, Max" I pretend to be mad at him but we both end up chuckling "For real though I'm stoked, Finally the last day of school!"
On our way to school we discuss our plans for over the summer.
After a day of chilling at the Park with Max I come home exhausted. My mom's sitting at the table.
"Eden, something came in the mail for you" she starts "I think it's a prank though, but you should see for yourself" she hands me the letter.
"A letter for me? Are you sure? I don't know anyone who still writes letters" I say as I take the letter from her.
"That's why I assume it's a prank."
On the envelope is written 'Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry'. Now I get it, Max must have sent it as a joke after I told him I didn't know what school to go to after summer.
"I think Max sent me it" I explain, I'll call him.
I go up to my room with the letter where my phone is charging. I dial Max's number. Beep ... Beep ...
"Hey Eden what's up, did you miss me already?"
"Ha HaHa Max," I answer him sarcastically "did you sent me a letter as a joke?"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't pretend you don't know what I' m talking about. I got this letter in the mail it says 'Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry' I haven't bothered opening it yet, because I thought you sent it"
" OH MY GOD" I hear Max scream way too loudly into the phone. "You got one too! That means we can go together!"
"Wait so this is a real thing?" I inquire, not convinced at all.
"Yeah totally! You're a muggleborn though so it's understandable that you're confused"
"Wait, I'm a what?"
"Doesn't matter, anyways, you should read it I'm pretty sure they send people to explain after muggleborns read the letters. I gotta go now though dinners ready. Bye"
"What, no wait!" but before I could ask further clarification he hang up on me.
I look at the envelope. If it ends up being a prank I'm going to kill Max but I guess there's no harm in reading it.
