Chapter 1
Kaitlin sat on the edge of her bed, "Todays the day, I just know it". She repeated to herself in a consistent chant, and then she heard the cling of the mail box. The mailman had arrived with the mail; she took a deep breath and walked towards the downstairs area . . . slowly she walked – oh how she walked ever so slowly.
"What is this The Shining?" Kaitlin's best friend Melisa was standing in the middle of the living room holding two letters; "hope you don't mind but I found this in your mailbox" she laughed, "I actually thought that you might still be sleeping".
"On a day like this, not a chance in hell", Melisa handed her the letter with her name on it.
"On the count of three we open them", Melisa sounded as nervous as Kaitlin looked.
"It all depends on this, whatever happens just remember we will always be friends".
Melisa laughed "What do you think you didn't get in, I mean I kind of thought my envelope was heavier but …" she snatched the envelope from Kaitlin, and opened it.
"Melisa that was mine"
Melisa looked up "Kaitlin (her face lit up) you got in" she threw the letter over to Kaitlin and tore the paper that bound hers.
"Well did you get in…"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK" Melisa shrieked with joy, "I got in" both girls joined hands, and did a dance. (The we got into the losers club dance, didn't seem like a fair dance to do).
"Melisa do you know what this means, we are going to Hogwarts; I always knew something like this would happen to me one day"….
"Kaitlin you knew it because all of our parents are wizards" she catered to Kaitlin's blonde moment
Kaitlin smiled "oh right, so what do we need to go pick up in Diagon Alley"
"Well we need" …
Diagon Alley
Kaitlin was standing near the spiders rock café, but Melisa quickly dragged her away; "Ya, Kaitlin I love you to death but not a chance in hell". Kaitlin pouted sorrowfully.
"So what's next (she pulled out her list) wands or pets" Melisa looked excited.
"What do you think"…
"Wands it is then", they skipped over to Alavanders; when they opened the door they were greeted by a grey haired old man.
"Hello, Hello girls and how may I help the two of you today" the man rubbed his hands together, as though he were a shady salesman giving them some crappy pitch.
"Wands, we both need a wand for school", the man walked towards the shelves looked back at the girls and studied Melisa.
"Yes, Yes no doubt this one will do fine", he picked out a dusty box, and uncapped it. Handing it to Melisa, "Now remember, Swish and Flick my dear" Melisa waved the wand in the direction of Kaitlin … Bad idea next thing Melisa knew; Kaitlin was down one of the halls, covered in boxes of fallen wands.
"Woops … Sorry" Melisa grinned, and prepared to run; knowing Kaitlin would soon attempt to kill! Her.
Kaitlin sat up and stared at Melisa; she looked down and picked up a wand that had fallen out of the box. "Hee hee who's laughing now" she swished the wand in the direction of Melisa, but nothing happened.
"…" Melisa was completely speechless.
"What is wrong with this thing" Kaitlin was banging the end of the wand on the ground; trying to get some sort of reaction. Nothing happened; finally studying the wand (which was wrapped with a spiked vine pattern and faint rose shaped notches) she heard a whisper.
"The reason there was no negative reaction is because that is your wand my dear, a fine piece of work; it is made of maple wood and a phoenix tail feather. Treat it well" Alivander smiled.
Melisa began to laugh "What a fail, that wand's going to hate you for banging it on the ground".
Kaitlin looked at Melisa "this is coming from the kid without a wand".
Melisa shut up and looked at her angrily "For now" she turned to Alivander "Old man find me a wand".
"Old man, who are you calling, oh never mind" Kaitlin was completely confused…
"Well come along my dear", Alivander lead the girls up a flight of stairs to another row of wands.
Melisa picked out a box from one of the shelves and opened it "I want this one" She took the wand out of the box (It was a light coloured yew with a snake like pattern wrapped around it).
"Now let's see if the wand approves" Melisa turned to try the wand out.
"Oh good god hit the deck" Kaitlin threw herself on the floor to avoid the wands blast if it failed.
… But nothing happened.
"Ha ha, the wand chose me", Melisa was cheering.
"Yes, yes my dear, all is good that wand has Dragon heart string. Now let's go downstairs to pay shall we" The girls followed Alivander to a desk where they both payed.
As both girls exited the shop, a skinny boy with sleek blond hair walked passed them to enter. He looked at both girls and stopped.
"What are you looking at? Well quit staring and answer my question already". The boy was rude, but it didn't bother Melisa.
"That fine ass, why you got a problem with it" Melisa sarcastic as per usual.
Snickers came from the boy that walked beside the now embarrassed boy, "what are you playing at, is something funny Blaise" the boy beside him tamed his laugh, and gained the same face he had earlier.
"You got two choices … 1. You walk over to get ice cream, or 2. When we get to Hogwarts tomorrow I go around telling everyone about your sweet ass".
The boy now even more embarrassed was speechless.
"Alright Hogwarts it is then", Melisa gestured to Kaitlin to continue walking. As they began to walk away the one boy grabbed Melisa's shoulder, as the other stood in the background trying not to laugh.
"Please don't tell anyone. I have a reputation to protect and that would ruin it" the boy finally found the courage to make a comment.
"What reputation", the boy in the background spoke up, the blonde boy glared at him and he stood down.
"That reputation can be saved just by buying us some ice cream" Melisa smiled and looked towards the other boy "See he agrees with me". The other boy laughed again.
"But that's not…"the boy began.
"Life's not fair, don't go there" the girl laughed grabbing the boy's hand "come on quit being such a wuse". Kaitlin followed behind Melisa, but she noticed that the other boy wasn't following.
"Are you coming or not" the boy looked up and nodded he quickly caught up, and they were off to the ice cream shop.
(On the way the blonde boy whined, about how Melisa was hurting his arm repeating "wait till my father hears about this", while the other walked with Kaitlin asking which classes she would like to be taking). (They also found out the boys names were Draco, and Blaise)
Ice Cream Shop
"I'll have a banana chocolate chip" Melisa's favourite (why I'll never know).
"And I'll have a chocolate chip cookie dough" the girls left the boys at the counter after making their orders; they sat a nearby table waiting for their ice cream.
"Here you are ladies" Blaise (attempting to show off) swung over to the table and handed out the ice cream.
Draco sat in the seat farthest from Melisa knowing if he said something, he would be going home with his strawberry ice cream in his hair.
Blaise sat in the seat beside Melisa and laughed over Draco's ice cream
"Well I did think you were a little fruity but, I didn't think you were that far in the closet", Draco's face turned tremendously red.
"So what yours is made of fruit to you know" Draco's fatal attempt at trying to make a comeback.
Blaise swallowed his ice cream and put his head down on the table and started to laugh.
Draco thought about it for a minute and turned a shade of red none of the teens had seen thus far, "oh-OH … I get it now".
All three just stared at the poor boys fail.
"Melisa we have to go pretty soon, we still have to pack everything and get pets"
"Ya I know, Wait aren't you bring Frog with you?" Melisa looked down at the dripping ice cream and licked part off her hand.
Draco turned his head.
"Oh come on if that turns you red then you really need to get a girlfriend" Melisa made a snide remark that may, or may not have hurt his feelings.
"Well you see …"
"DRACO where have you been" A long blonde haired man very easily Draco's father walked in and picked him up by the collar. "Let's go, your mother has been worried sick about you; you to Blaise".
The man began to haul Draco out of the ice cream shop.
"Nice meeting you both" Blaise turned as he ran to catch up with Draco.
They exited the shop; the girls turned to each other and giggled.
"And yes I'm bringing Frog and, are you going to bring skittles" Kaitlin finally responded to Melisa's question, before stuff happened.
"So do you want to head home soon, I am it is starting to get a little bit late" as the girls exited the shop they were stopped by a strange sweaty boy.
"I-I-I uh, oh right I finally found you", it was their friend Brett, and he was panting; you could tell he had been up to something, the question was what?
"Hey Melisa, Kaitlin you guys got in". A blond girl came running out, from behind Brett.
"Marietta, have you guys been here all day?" Kaitlin turned her attention away from the disturbingly sweaty Brett (gross).
"Ya, we saw you guys at Alivanders earlier"…
"Ya Kaitlin when Melisa sent you flying down the hall", Brett finally caught his breath. Kaitlin turned to glare at Melisa.
"What can I say, I got bad aim; I mean hello I'm not a guy", Melisa gestured to her lower half …
"Uh huh, you could have fooled me", Marietta's snide remark sent Melisa, into a world depression she hadn't felt yet today. (Kaitlin was no good at comebacks … I'm sorry it's true).
"We were just going to take a bus back home, if you guys are going soon we can all go together" Brett made a brilliant suggestion (It's about time).
"Alright lets go home, all of us still have bags to pack, oh what time are you guys leaving at to catch the plane" Kaitlin question the two friends that had joined them recently.
"We should all go together …" Brett spoke up …
"Brilliant deduction Brett" … "Anyways lets go"
The four friends head towards the bus, each arriving home a little apart and, packing their bags for the next day to come I mean they all have to be up at 5:00am…
