Gabi ran home from the school bus. She was sick of the bullying. She wished she could leave the world. She was different then her peers. She was short, nerdy, and liked creepy things.
As soon as she got home she heard her mother yell " Gabi you got a letter." Gabi rushed into the kitchen grabbed her letter and proceeded to open it. She couldn't believe it the letter was from Hogwarts!

Gabi couldn't believe it. She had believed that Hogwarts only existed in the Harry Potter books. She excitedly told her mom. "You're crazy" her mom said. All of a sudden there was a knock at the door "I'll get it mom" Gabi said walking towards the door. When she opened the door she saw Harry Potter. " Holy cow you exist!" Gabi screamed before fainting.
