CHAPTER ONE: THE REVELATION

It was a dark night on Friday the 13th. I was eleven and school was soon over, and I was wondering if any of my friends would be present during the summer vacation. At this particular night I was home alone, I was listening to my favourite music while writing my poems. It was quite a relaxing night, but suddenly I heard a noise. It sounded like bird wings but I couldn't be completely sure. The sound terrified me for some reason; it might have been because the sound of birds wasn't quite usual in the area where I lived. I slowly approached the window clutching my poems close to my chest, a peculiar sight met me as I glanced out. There, perched in the tree outside was an owl.I almost jumped out of my skin by the sight and I squealed a little.

"Fuck you bird, how dare you scare me like that?" The owl just looked at me and I saw a letter hanging from one of its feet. This confused me, why would an owl be carrying a letter?

I slowly opened the window and the bird flew right in, it stood at my nightstand and put its leg out. Hesitantly I reached out and removed the letter from its leg, it made a sound before it flew back out and disappeared in the night. I looked at the letter and saw my name and full address written out on the envelope; I opened the letter and saw what the letter said.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, you are hereby invited to a semester to Hogwarts school of wizards and wizardry. If you accept your place her, you will start your first schoolyear and learn all the magic you can imagine. We hope you will attend and if so we will see you this autumn. Have a wonderful summer vacation. Well met." There was a signature at the bottom, but I couldn't make it out,

I was dumbfounded and couldn't believe what I was seeing, but somehow I knew that I would accept this school place. At the moment there was really nothing I could do seeing that my parents was gone and all, so I just put the letter down at my nightstand and sat back down and continued writing. The next time I noticed time it was very late. I could hear my parents at the door and grabbed the letter and ran down stairs. I pushed the letter to my mom and said. "An owl gave it to me" my mom looked weirdly at me, I'm sure she though "what did I do to deserve this? I never asked for a crazy daughter" I could see in her eyes that she doubted my story but she accepted the letter and started reading, I could instantly see something in my mom's eyes that this was a serious letter. She looked at my dad and said "how is this possible?" I was confused. I didn't realize my mom was so insane as she obviously was. My dad looked at her and said "it's about time we told her".

My mom looked back at my dad and said "I guess you're right". She then sighed and turned to me. "Your dad and I are wizards. We have gone to the same school that you have gotten that letter from, but the school ended up having too many mudbloods so we ended up leaving. That is why your father and I wishes that you wouldn't go. We don't want our perfect daughter to be tainted by dirty mudbloods." Confused as I was, I looked at them. I wasn't sure I wanted to ask what a mudblood was. So I just stood there for a moment before asking; "So can I go?" My mom and dad just looked at each other for a while before replying. "We have to think about it for a moment. Now be a good girl and go back to sleep."

As I walked back up to my room I started wondering what my parents meant when they said mudbloods, but I decided not to think too much about it.
