An 11 year old girl sits out under a tree. It was almost the end of a long hot summer day in July. Zoey Snape sits up and looks at her watch, it was almost 6.

"Oh man, I have to get home." Zoey said as she got up. Zoey started to run down the street to her house. She stopped quickly out in front of the nabiorges house and ducked behind a bush.

On the other side of the bush was Zoey's father, the man walked up the drive way of the house with his black shirt and dark blue jeans. The wind blew his greasy black hair to one side of his face; Severus Snape stopped and looked at the bush.

"Zoey you're late getting home." Snape said lazily,

Zoey gets up from behind the bush with her head down and she walks over to her father and takes the 2 grocery bags from his hands.

"In side now," Snape said as he points to the front door,

Zoey walks up to the door and opens it then walks in followed by Snape. Both of them walk in to the kitchen and start to put things away.

The silence between Zoey and her father was broken by a loud "thud" noise from the window. Snape goes over as he walks over he pulls out his wand and holds it up like he was ready to attack; he opens the wind and a black and white owl hopped inside. Zoey moves closer to Snape so that she could read what the letter said on the front.

Zoey M. Snape

4432 Masson way

London, England

"That letter has my name on it," Zoey said as she moved away from her father and closer to the owl that held the letter.

Zoey takes the letter and the owl flies away, Snape walks over and looks down at his 11 year old daughter.

"Well Zoey, I guess its time for you to go to Hogwarts like I did when I was your age."

"But where are we going to get these things, like spell books and a wand." Zoey said looking confessed.

"Don't worry I know of a place we can go, but let me see the letter." Snape told the letter and started to read it, Zoey goes back to putting the food away then goes to the refrigerator and pulls out some food and start to eat it. Snape walks in to the living room, when he was reading Zoey's letter he found one that was addressed to him. Zoey walked quietly out of the kitchen and slowly walked up to her room trying not to get her fathers attention.

Running up the stairs Zoey opens the door to her room, the sun out side of the window had already set turning day into night.

"Wow I get to be a witch." She thought to her self "I wish you were here mom to see me now as I become a witch like you." She looks out of the window up at the sky.

Snape yelled up the stairs "Zoey tomorrow we are going to Diagon Alley to gather your things."

"Ok" Zoey yelled back.
