Chapter 1 Letter
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. Let the letter come. Please send the owl. I felt my wings ruffling in frustration. I paced the room back and forth, back and forth. My new kitten Merlin chased my shoe lace. I just can't wait if it doesn't come I will be so depressed. I have already shown signs of magic.
Grrr, grrr, grrr where is it. "Merlin what do you think is delaying it."
"Mew," he said looking up at me, which meant my guess is as good as yours.
He snatches my shoelace and starts to chew on it. I sat on my bed frustrated. Mum said as soon as I got my letter we'd go to Diagon Alley and go shopping with Hermione for our things. Merlin became bored with my shoe lace and began attacking the empty owl cage.
I had sent out Featherstone yesterday and have been waiting on Hermione and Ginny's replies.
Just then I saw a flash of brown and my tiny little screech owl fluttered in through the open window. She was carrying a small package and an envelope. Great.
Then I heard a loud hoot. I looked up and a large gray owl flew into the window.
I squealed in delight. I handed the owl some of Featherstone's food and it left. I instantly knew it was the letter from Hogwarts.
In emerald green it read. Ms. A Quincy, Pacing the floor, London, Attic. I used my finger and pulled up the seal. Finally I have the letter I have been dying to receive since I was six.

Wow this is a lot of stuff great thing my father is a… I can't remember he has something to do with hunting down dark wizards. We have a lot of gold. OH I wonder if I'll meet him.
Harry potter the boy who lived. Oh that would be so cool I can't wait to meet him. "MUM!" I shouted running down the stairs after scooping up Merlin. I jumped onto their bed and grabbed mums arm.
"Get up, get up I got my letter look," I waved my letter in my mum and dads face.
"Alright little Lexi calm down we'll go get Hermione and head over to Diagon Alley after lunch," Dad laughed getting out of bed.
Mum started laughing too and I grinned. Hogwarts oh Hogwarts I can't wait to see you Hogwarts.
Merlin who was now being chased after by my little sister climbed my pant leg and looked twice his size. Poor Merlin. Hmm should I take Merlin or Featherstone? I should probably take Merlin to be sure Myra doesn't torcher him.
I picked him up and smiled, "Merlin pack your bags you're going to Hogwarts."
"Mew?" he looked at me questioningly. Which probably meant, you mean I can leave this psycho girl let's go.
