It was only mid June but the young lady was sitting by the window thinking about school. How many new friends would she make? What house would she end up being in? What classes would she excel at? The wind blew through the window blowing her long dark hair. It was tied up in a pony tail that started low near her neck and ended just above her waist. She wore a tall pointed hat that muggles thought the average witch would wear. She stared in the sky and looked for any incoming owls even though she knew her owl wouldn't come until at the earliest mid July. She sighed and pushed up her giant glasses that happened to cover her small and underappreciated ice blue eyes.
"Star it is a waste of time sitting in front of that window. Your letter will come in due time." The older woman was sitting at the nearby kitchen table eating breakfast and looking at a muggle paper trying to solve the daily crossword puzzle. "Why don't you do something productive with your time, like reading a book or solving a puzzle from one of today's papers?" Star glanced at the small stack next to the front door. The Mahogany's would receive all of the papers that were published within a 100 mile radius thanks to a muggle specialist at the ministry, of friend of Star's mother.
"Mum can I have 50 pounds and go into London? Take notes on what muggle students do on summer vacation?" She asked as she approached the kitchen table giving her mother a pledging look. Although she just turned 11 years old a few months ago she still looked like she was only 8. Her face was young, with a pale complexion high cheek bones and full light pink lips. Her nose was small and a bit squished which looked like a small button you would press to make her smile, which is what would often happen when anyone touched her nose. She was also exceedingly short for her age and skinny as a stick, she often though about how terrifying it would be to look like a child her whole life. But often her childish looks would deceive people into getting what she wanted, so to persuaded her mother she pouted her lips and looked up through her glasses towards the older woman.
"It was difficult for me to get that muggle money and I would like to save it. Plus your father doesn't like when you spend so much time around muggles. Why don't you head to Diagon Alley, maybe buy a nice set of school robes, and maybe look at owls." Star sighed and walked back towards the couch where a book "Hogwarts, A History" was sitting waiting to be read for a third time. She dramatically sat down, adjusted her hat, sighed heavily so her mother could hear her disappointment, then picked up the book and started reading.
