"Aurelia, there's a letter in the mail for you," Aurelia Rose Ridali

came downstairs into the kitchen where her mother was calling her. Her

mother handed her a letter that was addressed to her. Aurelia accepted

it reverently. She felt that this letter was important. It had this

vibe to it, that told Aurelia that it was important. Curiously, she

opened it up. It read:

Dear Ms. Aurelia Rose Ridali,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts

School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Attatched is a letter of necessary

supplies needed for your first year. We look forward to seeing you

this term.

Sincerely Professor Albus Dumbledor, Headmaster of Hogwards.

"Is this some kind of a joke?" Aurelia asked her mother. Aurelia's

mother was silent for a while.

"It's about time you knew the truth Aurelia," Her mother said.

"The truth about what?" Aurelia asked.

"I'm not really your mother, I'm your aunt." Aurelia's mother said,

looking like she was going to cry, "Your parents were wizards too.

They were part of some group called the Order of the Phoenix. I don't

know much about it, but it had something to do with how they died."

"So the Order of the Phoenix was sort of like a gang?" Aurelia asked.

"I don't know dear," Aurelia's aunt said, "But tomorrow we'll go get

your stuff for Hogwarts."

The next day they went to a place called diagon alley. Aurelia bought

her wand, robes, books. She also bought a owl. She was a snowy owl,

and Aurelia decided to name her Crystal, because she thought such a

pretty animal deserved a pretty name. Aurelia loved animals, and when

she bought Crystal, she realized that it would mean saying good bye to

her other pets for the year. She realized that she would miss her

horses King, Lady, and Cydonia; and her dog Princess. She had a cat

too, but her aunt agreed to let her bring Princess to Hogwarts with her.

"You're the only one who likes her," her aunt said when she asked,

"And your the only person he likes. By all means take her with you."

Aurelia was under the impression that no one else in her family liked

Pricess. It was true that she wasn't the nicest cat, but Aurelia loved

him and could cuddle with the cat all day. She was glad when her aunt

let her take Princess to Hogwards. People told Aurelia that she was a

likeable person so she wasn't too worried about not having friends,

but she was still glad to have Crystal and Princess accompany her to

Hogwarts.

Finally, the day came that she was both looking forward too and

nervously waiting for came. Today she would leave for Hogwarts! She

had to take a plane the night before to England since she lived in

Russia. She spent the day before packing all of her stuff. She made

sure to include some pictures of her pets and her friends and her

family. She was really going to miss them.

When she arrived at the train station Aurelia looked at her ticket.

Platform 9 3/4? That couldnt be right. She looked around the train

station, then she saw another girl with a cart full of Hogwarts

supplies. Aurelia ran up to her.

"Excuse me," She said politely, "Are you going to hogwarts?"

"Yes," said the girl.

"You don't happen to know where platform 9 3/4 is, do you?"

"It's right over here," the girl said, "Between platforms 9 and 10.

It may sound crazy, but you have to run into that pillar there." she

pointed to a large brick pillar.

"Thats crazy!" Aurelia said.

"We'll go together," the girl suggested, "We'll hold hands!"

"Thats a great idea!" Aurelia said. So the two held hands and made

there way to platform 9 3/4.

"Thanks for helping me," Aurelia said greatfully to the girl.

"No problem," The girl said, "I'm Iris Jan-Qui by the way."

"Nice to meet you," Aurelia said, "My name is Aurelia Rose Ridali,

but you can call me Aurelia."

Aurelia boarded the train with Iris and they sat next to each other.

Soon, they were joined by two other girls named Mildred-Ethel Dilberta

Silverback (But preferred being called Millie) and Bethenny Harteau.

During the short train ride to Hogwarts, they became good friends.

Aurelia learned a lo about her new friends. Millie had the most

beautiful singing voice Aurelia had ever heard, Bethenney was a

champion on the regional quidditch team, and Iris took guitar lessons

from John Lennon! Aurelia told them all about her beautiful horses,

her dog, and all her friends and her five brothers. She showed them

Princess and Crystal and all the girls agreed that Pincrss was the

most adorable cat and that Crystal was a gorgeos owl!

Aurelia also gruadually became aware of the extremely good looking guy

in the compartment across from him. He had shaggy blond hair and

sparkling blue eyes his skin was flawless and he was the most handsome

boy Aurelia had ever laid eyes on and was playing cards with another

boy in the same compartment. I hope we're in the same house, Aurelia

thought as she stared longingly at the boy. I guess I'll find out

soon, she realized when the train came to a stop.
