Dear Ms. Jones,
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 necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September. We await your owl no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,

Nezumi stared at the letter in her hands in shock. What. The. Heck?!?
Okay, no need to panic; this was obviously a clever (NOT!) ruse. Somebody wanted to trick her into believing that Hogwarts existed, and that she was accepted. It was probably just Cho or Sae. Both of them knew how much she liked that series, and the fact that the third book was arriving that day did nothing to stem her excitement for it.
Meanwhile, Chosaku (Cho to her friends) was staring down at an identical letter, except for the fact that instead of Ms. Jones, it said Ms. Stone. No way, she thought, this is NOT happening. This was merely a juvenile attempt to trick her. It had probably Nezumi's idea. Sae might have helped.
Meanwhile…
Sae: Well I think that-
Joe: Sae? You think…?
Joe: Sae?
Joe: SAE?!
Sae: Nezumi and Cho are going to DIE!!!
Joe: Uh…why?
Sae: They think they're so smart, and that I couldn't tell that they sent it.
Joe: Sent what?
Sae: Nothing. I have to deal with something now. BRB.
Joe: Okay…
Sae and Cho marched over to Nezumi's house, fuming visibly. Obviously they both thought it was Nezumi's idea. As they pounded furiously on the front door, Nezumi had just gotten the answering machine at Sae's house.
"NEZUMI! OPEN UP, WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!"
"Why are you so angry at ME?" Nezumi yelled, opening the door to let them in, "I know one of YOU sent me the letter!"
"Oh, come ON, Nezumi. We all know it was you." Cho snapped in annoyance.
"It WAS NOT! It was YOU!"
"NO! It was YOU!"
"It was BOTH OF YOU!" Sae screamed.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
All three answered the door and screamed in unison: "WHAT?"
None other than Rubeus Hagrid stood there, looking very bemused. "Er…is this a bad time?"
All three girls blinked and stared. "So…they're real?" Sae said at last in a small voice.
Cho looked a little shaken. "I guess so."
After a moment, Nezumi answered Hagrid's question. "Uh, no, come in!"
"So," the towering figure replied, "you're ready to go then?"
"Umm…no…" Nezumi's voice trailed off.
Hagrid looked astonished. "Yeh mean yeh didn't pack? Didn't yeh read yer letters?"
Sae spoke up. "Well, we read the first page…" All three started to take their letters out.
Hagrid waved off their attempts with a dustbin-sized hand. "No matter. It jus' said I'm ter take you to the Weasley's…yeh know, get accustomed to th' Wizardin' world an' all?" He looked hopefully at them.
"Oh, well, I'll just go and pack then," Cho said.
"And I'll write a note for Mum and Dad," Sae added.
"What about MY Mum and Dad?" Nezumi asked.
"You write to them, and Cho can write to hers."
"I've actually already got letters fer yer parents," Hagrid said slowly.
"Um, okay," Sae said. "We'll just all…go…pack."
"Okay, but be quick about it. Th' portkey leaves in twenty minutes." Hagrid told them.
What's a portkey? All three of them thought, but Cho was the only one who thought to ask. "What's a portkey, Hagrid?"
"It's jus'…a wizardin' device fer getting' around. Yel get used to it."
After ten minutes of frantically throwing anything and everything into large bags, the girls were ready. Physically speaking, of course. Mentally: not yet.
About a minute later, they stood in front of the Burrow. At least, Nezumi, Hagrid, and Cho stood. Sae, on the other hand, was doubled over, clutching her stomach. "Never again," she moaned.
Then the door sprang open and a patch of light spilled out into the yard. The figures of Ginny, Hermione, and Mrs.Weasley stood in the open door.
Mrs.Weasley ran forward. "Oh you poor dears! It must have been such a shock for you! You must be Chosaku, Nezumi, and Saezuru."
"Cho," said Cho, at the same time as Sae said: "Sae."
"Cho and Sae then. Welcome, welcome! Do come in. Cho, you're so skinny!"
"I'm not skinny," Cho muttered. "I'm slender."
"Oh you poor-" Mrs. Weasley began again, but Hermione intervened. "They're probably very hungry Mrs. Weasley," she pointed out, smiling kindly at the three, "why don't we take them in and give them some of the leftovers from dinner?"
"No, no food," Sae groaned. "Never. Any. Food. Again."
"Well, maybe not Sae," Hermione amended. "But I'm sure that Cho and Nezumi are hungry. Ginny, go get the others."
Ginny gave her a thumbs up, and her footsteps could be heard as she pounded up the stairs to the other's bedrooms. "RON! PERCY! FRED! GEORGE! Get down here, they've arrived!"
More pounding, then muffled yelling, and the rest of the Weasley clan stood in the kitchen, peering curiously at the girls.
Ron groaned, "Oh, that's just great! More girls."
The five girls present glared at the redhead, and Nezumi and Ginny both made threatening gestures. Ron shut up.
A/N: Second chapter next week if you like it!
