RWBY: Beacon School of Witch Craft and Wizardry
It was a warm spring afternoon at the home of Rose/Xiao Long. Ruby was eagerly waiting in front of their door. Tai Yang yield from the couch "It won't come any faster if you just sit there you know, and what makes you think you'll even be accepted?" Ruby ignored her dad. Her gut told her that she would be accepted into Beacon's School of Witch Craft and Wizardry. Just like her Father, her Mother, her half sister Yang, Yang's Mother, and her Uncle Qrow. Her whole family have been accepted there which meant it was finally her turn. Having her 11th birthday three days ago and Beacon opening up in a few months, Ruby was praying for her acceptance letter. Not to mention that she studied magic all her life. She just had to be given a letter of acceptances.
As the day grew dark so did Ruby's hope of getting a letter that day. "Ruby its time for dinner, go wash up so we can eat!" Tai Yang yelled from the kitchen. Ruby got up from her spot by the door and walked to the washroom and washed her hands. At the dinner table Ruby saw that her father made a plate of her favorite chocolate chip cookies. It cheered her up a little knowing that her father was just trying to cheer her up. With the sun finally gone and night has come Ruby still has yet to get her letter of acceptance.
When it got time for bed, Ruby changed into her rose pajamas and had Tai Yang tuck her in. "Do think I'll be accepted in Dad?" Tai gave his little Rose a light peck on her forehead. "If you're anything like your mother, you will be accepted in." Tai then turn off Ruby's lights and walk out. With her father gone Ruby reach to her night stand, turn on her lamp and took out letters from the drawer. Letters from her sister sent her from Beacon, saying what its like there and how her classes were. Ruby could only imagine what it was really like there. One of Yang's letters said that he's joined the Gryffindor quidditch team as a beater. Yang said that her coach told her that she was the best beater she has ever seen in the past eighteen years. Apparently our uncle Qrow was a great beater when he went to Beacon. Ruby continued rereading the rest of Yang's letters.
Out side of Ruby's door, Tai Yang stood looking at the small light coming from Ruby's room. His face was far from happy. He then pulled out a letter from Beacon and gave a heavy sigh. Tai then looked up and saw the only family photo that had both Summer and Ruby in it. "What would you do Summer? Probably hit me with a book and yell at me for stalling." Tai Yang laughed at the old memories of their time at Beacon. Tai then made his way to bed knowing what he should do the next day.
Morning came and for once in her life Ruby didn't feel like getting out bed. But when she turned and saw a letter from Beacon on her night stand. Ruby jumped out of bed and started screaming for joy that her letter came in. Ruby grabbed the letter and ran down stairs to show her dad. "Morning Ruby, oof." Tai Yang said as Ruby jumped her dad with a big hug. "Look, Look. I told you I would get a letter!" Ruby said as she showed her dad the unopened envelope. "Yes you did. But that doesn't mean you got accepted." Tai teased her. Ruby puffed her cheeks in anger. Ruby then tore open the envelope to reveal the letter.

Ruby's eyes were full of life and her smile couldn't be any more brighter. She was so happy to be accepted in Beacon's school. "Can we go shopping right now?!" Ruby asked in a cheerful squeak. Tai Yang laughed remembering the first time he got his letter. Knowing that being half blood you get a fifty - fifty chance of getting in to any magic school. "Ok, OK slow down Ruby. How about this? As soon as your school final ends next week, I'll come pick you up and we'll go shopping then. But remember if you fail any of your classes then no Beacon." Tai said in a serious tone. Ruby gave her dad scouts honor salute "Understood Dad. I will have my chocolate chip pancakes now and I'll get to studying."
Ruby's schools finals have just ended and Ruby passed with flying colors, all A's and B's. Tai Yang has just picked up Ruby from school and as promised took her out to get her books and other things that she will need in Diagon Alley. As Ruby and Tai roamed the streets of Diagon Alley, Ruby would stop and look at all the shops. Everything was amazing to Ruby; they even stopped by Quality Quidditch Supplies to look for a quality broom for Ruby in the near future.
Now just exiting Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop, Ruby took out her check list and see what else she need. "Three sets of plain work robes?" Ruby began to read out loud her list. "Check." Tai Yang replied. "One plain pointed hat?" Ruby asked. "Check." Tai answered. "Did we remember get a pair of protective gloves?" Ruby asked. "Yes we did." Tai answered again. "How about my winter cloak, did we get that?" Ruby asked. "Done, and before you even ask. Yes we have all of your books." Tai Yang said. As this was their eleventh time of going over their list. "Ok. Did we remember to get my cauldron, crystal phials, telescope, my brass scales set?" Ruby asked. "Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes." Tai Yang said proudly. "Good now all that I need now is a wand from Ollivander's Wand Shop." Tai Yang smiled wide as he wonders what kind of wand Ruby will get. "How about you go get your wand? There's something I need to do real quick and I'll meet you there. Okay?" Ruby gave her dad a quick nod and made her way to the wand shop to get herself her own wand.
