Chapter 1: The Letter

I lay sprawled across my Appleby Arrow's comforter, reading a story about romance. I smile as I drink in the pages, finishing the book just as my European Eagle owl, Caspian, swooped in dropping an envelope on my book. I immediately knew what it was by the handwriting scrawled across it. Professor McGonagall, my mom's mentor and best friend, had sent out my Hogwarts letter. I grabbed up my letter and absently pet Caspian as I got up to get him a treat.

"Caspian, old friend…," I said giving him a dead rat for bringing my mail. "I am finally going to the amazing Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. I sure hope Michael is ready for his little sister to show him up."

I giggled, pet Cas again and run down the stairs, "Mummy, Papa, my letter is here."

I heard my parent's excited voices as I neared the kitchen. I walked through the archway and was smothered by my parents as they grabbed my letter. Suddenly, my family flew backwards. I cringed knowing I would be in trouble. I ran to help my mom get up from the floor as my dad come up beside me.

"I…I'm so sorry, guys. Claustrophobia kicked in," I said looking at them apologetically. "Here is the letter."

I hand my dad the letter and back away. They open it smiling big.

"Finally, you'll be able to control your magic," my dad says hugging me, "We know you didn't mean to do that."

I looked at my mom as she read the letter and supplies list. I watched as she bit her lip. She looked at me, her bright blue eyes sparkled as she smiled. She motioned me to her and kissed my forehead. I smiled at her and pointed to her ear. She nodded and touched her cochlear implant, turning it on.

"We are definitely going to need to go to London soon." Mom says smiling. "I'm glad you are finally going to school."

"Me too. Is Michael ok with having his little sister in the same school as him this year?" I ask nervously. "I don't want him to be embarrassed by me or think I am going to make his 'super cool Hogwarts' life miserable. I just want him to show he knows me. I am so nervous. I mean, it's not like I have met many kids my age. I just want him to know I…I look up to him."

"I know, Kiles. I will always have your back, little girl," says a boy as he walks into the room smiling.

"H…how long have you been there?" I ask looking at my big brother. "Y…you weren't supposed to hear that."

"Kylie, you don't have to worry. I have your back. I'll show you around. I just hope you're a Gryffindor… Dad was. I am. Now it is your turn."

I look to my dad, "Papa, would you be disappointed if I… if I… wasn't a Gryffindor?"

Dad takes my hand and looks at me, "Kylee Anne, I will love you no matter what house you are in. I just want you to learn. I want you to make lifelong friends like I have. I am proud that you are my little genius daughter. You developed your magic a lot faster than most witches and wizards your age. You are brilliant, Kylee."

I smile at my dad as he wraps me in his arms, "I love you too, daddy."

He picks me up and spins me around like when I was younger. I giggle leaning into him until he puts me on the ground again. I look at my family, taking it all in. My brother hugs me, smiling.

"Kylee, we'll go into town tomorrow and school starts next week. I'm so glad you are going to Hogwarts. I can't wait to show off my super talented little sister."

I giggle as Michael hugs me.
