The Letter: Chapter 1
It was a slow day and Leandra Hill was laying on her bed bored wondering what to do when she got a brilliant idea. She eagerly got up from her bed and walked over to her bookshelf which is packed full of books lying on top of each other and crammed onto shelves to make them all fit. She reached up to the very top shelf, repeating the same action she had done many many times before on slow nights just the same as this one, to grab her favorite seven books by J.K. Rowling and settled back down into her reading chair by the window to read her books.
Several hours later found Leandra softly crying as she turned the last few pages of the final book in the series. If she was being totally honest with herself she had a bit of a crush on Fred Weasley even though she knew he was way too old for her.
That night she dreamed of her birthday the next day and Hogwarts, thinking that the best present she could imagine would be a snowy white owl showing up on her doorstep with a letter in its beak saying she had been accepted into her dream school. However the morning came and reality slowly faded back in.
Suddenly her door burst open and in came her parents with a cake singing happy birthday. Leandra then proceeded to eat cake in bed with her family. All of a sudden she remembered, "Presents!" she exclaimed in an excited shrill.
"Of course darling" soothed her mom, "go put your plate in the sink and we can open them but hurry remember we're having your friends over for the day.
Quickly she rushed down the stairs, just barely waiting for her parent to arrive before ripping into her first present.
By the time noon came around Leandra was found surrounded by wrapping and three new present courtesy of her parents. The first gift she unwrapped was a stuffed toy of Hedwig. In addition she also got a Harry Potter trivia game which she was certain no one would be able to beat her at and a fake wand.
Throughout the entire day Leandra was rather distant and could often be found staring out into space.
Lea knew it was stupid but when the day had come and gone and she was headed up to bed she found herself left with a feeling of longing and disappointment that she had not received her letter of admission to Hogwarts.
She was just putting on her pajamas when a strange tapping noise could be heard from the window. Immediately she jumped up and ran to open the window. There sitting on the sill was a beautiful grey owl with an envelope sitting in it's beak. She opened the letter with shaking hands to read:
Dear,
Ms. Leandra Hill
We are please to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You will find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.
Yours Sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress.
She searched through the rest of the envelope and found a list of required clothing, books and equipment with a short note saying that a Hogwarts professor would be by the next day to help with the necessary shopping.
Is it good? Bad? Leave a review let me know.
