Chapter 1- Finding Out
My mum looked at the letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which had just come through the letter box, which was subsequently addressed to me. My name is Samantha Ann Jones; I live with my mum SarahLynn Jones (my mum has always written her name like that never Sarah Lynn Jones). And my little brother Joe Jones. My mum walked into the lounge where I was sat.
"Sam I have something for you". My mum said as she came into the lounge and sat down a seat away from me wondering how I would take the news knowing my slightly aggressive nature.
"What is it mum?"I asked as she handed me the letter. "what's this?" I asked my anger and curiosity growing as I wondered why she had given me a parchment letter enveloped thing.
"You have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry". She said excitedly.
"Mum what are you trying to say?" I said trying to control my anger.
"I am saying that you're a witch, as am I and your brother is a wizard and you and your brother are half bloods". She said starting to stand up to try and get away as she could see my anger was growing.
"Wait? What! Mum stop making that joke up you said it every year up into now!" I said.
"Samantha Ann Jones I am telling you the truth. I wouldn't lie to you!"She protested.
"Yes, yes you would! Like you have for the last 15 years of my life and 10 years of Joe's life too! Every time I ask you about dad you always change the subject, you always say that your boyfriend, who is Joe's dad, is my dad as well but I know he's not so. Who is my dad mum! Tell me the truth for once and if you are a witch prove it do some magic right here right now!" I shouted, my anger had finally boiled over.
Mum ran up stairs to go and get something to prove to me that we were magic meanwhile I felt like breaking something so i quickly grab the first thing I could find (which just happened to be my mum's favourite vase) and I raised it above my head , and smashed it against the floor. That's when Dave my mum's boyfriend (and Joe's dad) came in I thought he was going to start shouting at me, however he just said to me "anger boiled over again Sam?" He was the only one to understand my anger as he had a semi violent past. When my mum came down she had a stick in her hand.
"What's that there then mum?" I said starting to calm down.
"It's a wand sweet heart, my wand I got it from Ollivanders when I was 11". She answered
"So go on show me some magic". I dared her.
Mum closed her eyes and pointed her 'wand' at the broken vase (which surprisingly she didn't notice when she came down, proberly because I had broken countless times) and she said the word "reparo" and the broken vase became whole again.
"Ok I believe you, so when do I go and get my stuff for Hogwarts, my wand and how do I get to Hogwarts and what year will I be in?" I said quickly trying to process this very strange information into my brain.
" You will be in the fifth year and we will go to Diagon Alley tomorrow to get your stuff and to get to Hogwarts you go onto the Hogwarts express in platform 9 ¾ at Kings Cross Station in London". She said.
