A strange thing happened today. An owl came to our house, yes in the middle of broad daylight. But, that isn't what shocked me the most. It had a letter on its leg. I removed its burden.it was a letter for me!

Hermione Granger, only bedroom upstairs, 1029 Lakeview Circle. Wow! Inside was a letter of acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It had a list of all of these spell books that I would need to get. It had wand, cloaks, and other odd sorts of things. After looking through it very carefully, reading every last bit about ten times, I ran into my parents bedroom.

I shoved the letter into their faces and asked them if it was a joke. They took about 10 minutes to look it thru. I was busy wondering what it was all about. Was I witch? Cloaks? Wands? This sounded like a fun game...

My parents finally explained to me what it was. They said that they didn't think I would be a witch because both of them weren't. My dad said they knew very little about the wizardry world, but they did know some. I asked how and my mom said that she had a very distant but close cousin that was a which. They could contact her and she would tell us everything we would need to know about getting the supplies. By then I was thinking this was a bad joke. I told them this. They went on about the little they knew about it, and finally they said if I still thought it was a joke, then it would still be fun.

I suposse their right. I mean, unless a whole bunch of people pop out and say 'haha! We got ya' Then there isn't anything to worry about. And I don't think my parents would lie to me. Anyway, I want to go think about this...
