Realizations

"Wizards and witches aren't so bad as you think," said James.

"Says you," replied Harper Skys. "I mean they're not even real."

"You'd be surprised," answered James.

"Yeah well, I gotta go, even if you do need the help I can't give you."

Harper walked in the light of the setting sun down Elm Street to her small south Washington home. A suitcase was sitting by the door.

"Mom, what's goin' on?" asked Harper, completely confused.

"They found us, they found us," replied Harper's mother, Mrs. Skys.

"Who found us?" Harper's mom then handed her a yellow envelope. When Harper opened it she snorted with disbelief.

"I wouldn't be snorting if I was you," replied Mrs. Skys to Harper's snorting fit.

"Come on, Mom, you're crazier than James.

The letter read something like this:

Dear Miss Skys:

We would like to inform you that at last we have found you, and you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please send us your owl by no later than July 31.

----Minerva McGonagall

"Let's see, let's see," Mrs. Skys had a habit of repeating things and talking mostly to herself. "First we must go to London to collect your things, then buy a ticket, oh yes! I must send a letter to my brother, also," said Mrs. Skys hurriedly.

"Brother you have a brother?" asked Harper skeptically.

"Yes, but we don't talk, we've always been opposites."

"You're not considering sending me there are you? I mean they're just a bunch of nutcases!" exclaimed Harper.

"Don't sound so disappointed. I went there when I was eleven, but since we haven't gotten a letter until now, I figured you weren't a witch. I hen I wouldn't have to worry about you meeting my brother. Oh well, that can't be helped now, and this'll be a good thing for you. You're part Elf, also," said Mrs. Skys casually.

"I never noticed any pointy ears," said Harper quietly. This was a lot to soak in for a fifteen year-old girl. Harper walked to a corner, and let this new revelation soak in.
