Chapter 1: The letter

Hailey Peterson was one of those girls who didn't feel that the world cared about her. She not longer lived with her dad. Ever since her mom got custody she has been living in the light of her three cousins, all of which were wizards. Rafael, Ron, and Reese all were accepted to Durmstrung when they were eleven. Rafael, the oldest of the three boys, hated Hogwart students because he thought they were stuck up. Ron was a little more civilized and accepted Hogwart students to a degree. Reese loved Hailey and wouldn't be upset if she went to Hogwarts.

The three boys loved Hailey but knew the day would come when she got her letter to either Hogwarts or Durmstrung.

On Hailey's eleventh birthday, Hailey was in her room reading a book when her mom came into the room.

"Hailey dear, this is for you." said Hailey's mom, Veronica, handing Hailey a letter.

Hailey ripped open the envelope and read her acceptance letter to Hogwarts. She sighed, wondering what her cousins would say if they knew she was going to Hogwarts.

"What is wrong Hailey?" asked Veronica. "Nothing mom, its just, the letter, its from, Hogwarts."

"That's wonderful Hailey!" said Veronica as she walked out of the room with Hailey's list of supplies and headed off to Diagon Alley.

Hailey walked through her room, pacing, she knew she would have to tell her cousins soon enough. As she was thinking about Hogwarts an explosion sound came from her living room. Hailey ran downstairs wondering what was going on, when she stopped dead in from of the entrance to her living room....

She screamed but someone put their hand over her mouth.

"Dont scream Hailey, its just us!" said a voice that she recognized as Rafaels'.

"What? H-How did you get here?!" said Hailey in almost a scream.

"Keep is down will you! We used floo powder." said Reese.

"Why are you here though?" asked Hailey, now calming down.

"Can't we come to wish our little cousin a happy birthday! So where is it? Where is your letter from Durmstrung" asked Rafael in a If-Its-Hogwarts-Your-Dead kind of voice.

"I didn't get a letter from Durmstrung" Haileys' voice now trembling, handing over the letter.

"HOGWARTS!!!!," screamed Rafael, "but how, your not a hoggy wart your a durmstrung!"

"RAFAEL!" this time coming from Reese. "Calm down seriously its just a school!"

"Boys you need to come back home" said a head in the fire that looked alot like Haileys' aunt.

"Fine! We are coming. Hailey I cant even look at you right now!" said Rafael as he followed his brothers into the fire and dissapeared.

Hailey couldn't believe her cousin, she didn't know what to say but couldn't say anything since he was gone. She sat in front of the fire wanting to scream into it when her mom came home with tons of supplies and books for Hogwarts.
