*Blue Rose*

Paaa~n went the rain outside my window as I walked the halls of my old, empty house. My parents were out on their 10th anniversary, celebrating their lovely, magical, and joyous marriage. As I stayed home ans watched the rain pour down from the clouds. I went over to the fireplace to warm myself since the house was freezing cold. I grabbed one of my manga from the shelf and began to read. I tied back my long, shiny black hair with a red ribbon so it wasn't in the way of my book. Within about an hour later, the rain had finally stopped. As I lay on the couch I began to here flapping wings. Then-Whooo! Whooo! I jumped a little as the noises were very loud. A letter then flew through the mail slot.

I walked over to grab the letter when I noticed that the seal had a crest and the word 'Hogwarts' around it. I opened the letter and read aloud:

I held my breath to try and hold in my scream of happiness. My face turned completely red and then I just had to let it out. "I going to Hogwarts!" I yelled. "Really?!" I turned and noticed my parents had walked in. "Your going to Hogwarts?!" My dad said with a smile on his face. I nodded my head in a quick motion. My mother smiled and said, "Well, you should start packing! Because August 1st is tomorrow!" I gasped and then ran up the stairs to my bedroom to pack my things. "I hope I can meet someone interesting!" I said to myself. I knew that my life is now going to get even better!
