"You'll never believe this!" Claudia burst into the room yelling.
"Claudia Lynn Kishi, You are exactly 2.7 minutes late from being here an hour early!" Kristy screamed, eyes bulging as she resisted the urge to strangle Claudia.
"Like, chill, K," Stacey said in her 'sophisticated' voice. "The, like, sound vibrations from your enormous mouth are, like, chipping the, like, purple paint off my nails!"
In her very quiet voice Mary Anne said, "What is it Claudia?"
"The school has planned an exchange trip! AND WE'RE GOING TO ENGLAND! AND WE'RE GONNA STAY IN A CASTLE! FOR FREE!"
Now everyone was screaming. In her rage/enthusiasm, Kristy unplugged the clock, and Jessi and Mallory threw it out the window.
"THE CASTLE IS CALLED Hogwarts," Claudia screamed/talked as everybody settled down, "and it's supposedly magic. I got this very nice letter when I saw Mrs. Besser walking home. She said one of the kids from Hogwarts sent this to her to pass to someone. It says this:
Dear Muggle,
I just thought you should learn something about Hogwarts before you come live here for a term. It is a castle where we live and have magic lessons. Our classes are include Transfiguration, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Herbology, History o Mage, Ancient Runes, Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, and more. The castle is big but you'll learn how to find everything. Professor Dumbledore said that we will have a sorting for you when you come. I'm in Ravenclaw, look for me!
Don't let the Crumple-horned Snorkaks get you down!
Luna Lovegood
"There is a lot of that letter that I don't understand, but that's okay!" Kristy said.
"HOTWARTS, HERE WE COME!" They all managed to yell the words in perfect unison, and then they skipped around Claudia' bedroom, barely hearing the continually ringing phone.
