a/n its been a while since I found fanfics and ive been planning to write something long term for some time now so why not now here we go tell me wat u think
Different, But It Fits
I was sitting at the kitchen table talking with my dad while my mom was making lunch. It was a nice June day, when we heard a tapping at the window. There perched on the windowsill was an owl. Looking at both of my parents for some answers my mom slowly walked over to the window and let the owl in. He hopped inside the window then stuck out his leg. Tied around it was an envelope. My mother took the letter and gave it to me. It had my name on it so I opened it. It read:
Dear Miss Fiona Benings,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all the necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
I had to reread it three times to even begin to understand what it meant. I read it out loud for my parents and they all just looked at each other.
"What is this?" is all that my father could say. "Is it someone's idea of a joke?" He looked at my mom, hoping for an answer.
All my mother could do was shrug. Her being the logical one most of the time started thinking. "Well it may be far fetched and quite strange, but think about it for a minute. Think of all the far fetched and strange things you've done." My mom looked at me with a far off look in her eyes.
"Like the time we went apple picking and you got the tree to start shaking so you could get all the apples from the top." Said dad, "We just brushed it off as the wind. I guess there could be something more to it."
"Maybe, it could be. Let me see the letter again dear." Mom held her hand out toward me for the letter then skimmed it quickly. "It says that it 'awaits your owl no later than July 31.' We all turned to see that the bird was still there looking impatient.
"What should we do?" My dad looked at mom then she looked at me.
"Well, if this is a real school then it's your choice do you want to go to Hogwarts Fiona?"
"Yes! Wait, I'm a witch! I'm a witch? Can you believe it?" After I got used to the idea it was amazing and I'm pretty sure my parents thought so to because they seemed so proud of me.
So we sent a reply saying that I would like to go to Hogwarts and the next day another owl came explaining a little more about the Wizarding Community.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Benings,
We are so happy that Miss Benings will be joining us at Hogwarts next term. Since you are muggles we will explain some main details about the Wizarding Community to you. When you need to buy your school supplies you must go to London, to a small pub called the Leaky Cauldron, which is the entrance to Diagon Alley. There you will find all you need. On September 1 you must go to Kings Cross Station and go to platform 9 ¾. To enter there you must walk through the barrier separating platforms nine and ten. There you will find the Hogwarts Express. Inside this letter you will find the list of school supplies you will need for this term.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
So after we got that letter my parents decided that we are going to Diagon Alley first thing Saturday morning.
