Hey This is Lightning! So this is a story that just I am writing So here it is. Enjoy and please review!
I think I've had a perfectly normal childhood ,well there were those few times that those strange things happened. Strange occurences. That time that my football team won our league and I levitated off the ground a few feet, though nobody remembers it now strangely.
I'm eleven now and it's turned into a boring summer.
I just got back from football camp in spain, and that was really fun there were kids from all over Europe. There were even two from America. There accents were awesome!
I love different accents. Its fun trying to mimic them.
Well anyways that was really fun, and now I'm back in the little town of Carlisle, England with nothing to do (except play football). It's a whole month till any of my friend's get back from vacation,so I can only practice with my little sister,Taylor.
"C'mon Taylor!" I call to her "Let's go pass around the football"
"No I don't want to" she yells.
"Please Please Please!"
"No, Hayley!"
" Gosh, Tay you didn't have to yell!"
So there I go out into the heat. I walk into our front yard and start juggling the ball.
If you count knees and other body parts, I can get to about 100 give or take a few. Sadly my coach doesn't though,so with just feet it's about 50.
I'm out there, cursing the heat, my stupid feet that seem to just want to do sprints, and my friends that weren't here to practice with comes out of nowhere a man on a broom, hurtling towards me.
He pulled up and landed smoothly while I was just sitting there staring at him and letting flies in my mouth.
He's a tall man with a kind of handsome face you could say. He was about 40ish years old
He says to me "Hello, My name is Professer Neville Longbottom, May I speak to you and your parents?"
I of course being me let out an unintelligible wauhher sound.
I take a deep breath and start over. " Umm Excuse me if I'm wrong but, that's a broom that you just flew on."
He look's at me like I'm crazy (which I probably am) and says " Yes"
"How is that even possible?" I ask.
"Look I'll explain it to you when your parents are here" he says kind of annoyed.
" Ok, I'll go get them. They're inside."
I'm kinda thinking this guy is a crazy person, but I'm really curious so I call my my house.
"Mom, Dad this guy just kind of came on like, a flying broom and was saying he needed to talk to you"
"What, Haley you're not making any since" my mom says.
Than Neville or Mr. Longbottom or Professor Longbottom or whatever his name is said to her " Hello, Mrs. Raine I'm Professer Neville Longbottom. I teach at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and wizardry and I'm the deputy headmaster."
"Excuse me did you say Witchcraft and Wizardry?!" I say astonished
" Yes, I did Miss Raine and You're invited to come study it at Hogwarts because you are a wizard"
Mom,Dad,and I just like stood there looking at him, but my sister says " Do I get to go?"
" When you're eleven" says Professer Neville Longbottom.
Thats when my mom regains her senses "What's this school?"
" It's a boarding school in the Scottish countryside. The children will be safe we have many magical protections against many things"
"Are there any sports" asks my dad. Sports are pretty important to him. He used to play football internationally, I guess thats where I get my love of football.
"Yes, she could learn how to play quidditch, she looks like she could be a really good chaser."
That's where the conversation took off. he explained everything that we wanted to know.
As he was leaving he said " I'll show all of you Diagon Alley tommorow, so she can get all of the things Hayley needs for Hogwarts Oh I forgot here's your acceptance letter."
He handed it to me and left.
It looked like one of those letters that kings and queens would give each other in like the olden days. It had a red seal on it and it said
Ms. H. Raine
the football dedicated room on the top floor 5 Lexington Dr.
Carlisle
Weird ok... I break the seal and take out the letter.
