Chapter 1

12 Year old Jennifer shook her younger brother awake, "Toby, there's something at the window!" whispered Jenn. "Go to bed sis, and quit messing with me," replied the 11 Year old boy. "No seriously, there's an owl," "You sure?" asked Toby. "Positive," replied Jennifer. "Fine then, go wake MC and get her, then I'll come and see this for myself." Said Toby. "Mary Catherine, get up." Whispered Jenn as loud as she dared without waking their parents. "Okay, what is it this time?" asked the 13 year-old, who naturally was very much like a parent to her two younger siblings. "An owl, It is at the window with some kind of scroll." "Let's Go get mom and dad then." Stated MC.

"No, it is not an owl! It's just a pigeon, and it's 3 in the morning go to bed." Yawned their mother. "Sis, let's go get that paper, our mom doesn't have to know," Whispered Toby in MC's ear. "Come on, let's go to bed guys," Faked MC. As soon as the three children got over to their room, Toby anxiously ran over to the window, threw it open, and the owl dropped the piece of parchment in the child's hands. "Look who's a nice little trained owl over here," said the boy while closing the window. "Alright, let's see what this thing says." Said Jenn while her younger brother unraveled the scroll.
Dear Jennifer and Mary Catherine,
My Dearest apologies for sending this in such an unknown fashion, but it is my best avalible way at the moment. I am inviting you and your family to come visit us over here in Britain. I would love to see you, I haven't seen either of you other than Mary Catherine in my life.
Your Cousin,
Hermione Granger
"Hey, what about me and who is this Hermione girl?" Asked Toby. "She probably doesn't know about you because of you being a foster child," explained MC. "Still, just show a guy a little hospitality…" Muttered Toby. "Very funny, now let's get some sleep, we can figure out a way to convince that this was from the mail tomorrow morning, Saturday." Said MC "Sounds good, time to sleep, I'm beat." Said Jenn.
