*All of these characters except Erica and her
friends/family belong to JK Rowling
Erica yawned as she lifted her head from her
pillow. As usual, her favorite song "He loves you not" was playing on the
radio, which was the thing that woke her in the first place. This was the
beginning of a normal day for an anything but normal person. Just like any
other 11 year old, Erica went to school. You couldn't tell that she was
different from her appearance either. Her ordinary shoulder length brown hair,
brown eyes, and brown freckles didn't reveal anything. In fact, Even Erica
didn't think she wasn't normal until she got a letter, a letter that changed
her life.
*Ok just so
everyone knows, this lil star thingy means that me, the author is talking. Ok
that was just the beginning of the story. We are bout to do a flashback to the
day that Erica got he mysterious "letter". So what is about to happen is what
actually happened a month ago, on August 1.
It was any other hot summer day in North
Carolina. Erica got dressed in blue denim shorts and a red tank top, with her
bathing suit underneath. She put a towel, some cookies, and sun tan lotion in
the beach bag hanging on her arm, and set off to meet Toni and Matt. As she
rushed down the stairs, her mom told her that a letter arrived from her, which
she just carelessly stuffed in her bag.
Sure
enough, when she opened the door, her two best friends were already waiting for
her. Toni, who was sitting on the chair, was laughing her head off, while Matt
was scowling at her.
"What's so funny?" Erica, totally clueless asked.
" Well look at Matt's hair!" Toni said in between
breaths, while Erica turned to see. Matt's hair was sticking out from all sorts
of positions, as well as kinda frizzing out at the top.
"Nice look if I do say so myself" was all she
could say as she too began giggling.
"It's not my fault!! My little sister took it
while I was brushing my teeth, the only way I could've gotten it back was by
taking her to the zoo, and you know how those monkeys scare the crap out of me"
he smiled sheepishly.
As
the three of them started walking toward the beach, Erica took the opportunity
to read her letter. As she started, she suddenly dropped her bag and stared
down at the piece of paper with emerald green writing. Her mouth hung down in
an open circle as she seriously said" Is this some kind of joke?!" Her two
friends grabbed what she was gawking at. In an instant they had the same
dumbfounded expression glued to their faces. The reason for their amazement was
this:
Dear Ms. Erica Brookes,
We
have been informed that you have a bit of magic in your blood. For this,
Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry would like to invite you to join us
for a wonderful year of learning. Attached is a supply list as well as what
clothes and extra items, such as pets, you may bring along with you if your
answer is yes. The school semester starts September 1st, but you
must meet the Hogwarts express in alley 9 and three quarters. Since you are
muggle (humans with no magic ability) born, you must know that to enter this
passage is by walking through the space, but be careful to not let anyone see
you. I will be waiting for a reply. My owl is waiting outside your window.
Please consider this opportunity and conclude your answer as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Professor Dumbledore,
Hogwart's Headmaster
Now of course, the memory of this letter popped
into Erica's mind from the Harry Potter series, her most favorite books in the
world. But she never thought that any of it could possibly be real. She never
thought that she would have the power to cast spells and make potions, even
though she dreamt about it countless times. She suddenly forgot about going to
the beach, and turned around heading back home.
"Hey where are you going?" the voices of her
friends echoed on the empty street,
"You don't
expect me to trust this letter unless I really do see an owl perched on my
window do you?" and When she walked into her normal cozy room, she then
realized that she wasn't so average anymore.

So what does
everyone think? This is still my third fan fic and the other two I Hardly
