Hi my name is Mera, and the day I turned 11 my world turned upside down. I should have known something was going to happen. But this I never expected. It all started when two days to our 11th, Hotaru(my triplet) and I recieved a letter accepting us into a school we had never heard of somewhere in England. O.k., so that doesn't sound too bad but it was the way it was delivered that scared me. I mean c'mon! Hotaru and I were sitting at the table innecently eating our breakfeast whatching Michuru mama chase Haraku papa around the house with a frying pan because Haraku papa had beaten up a boy who had dared to ask out Usagi(our other triplet). Haraku papa was like that sometimes. she's very protective. Let me explain something. haraku papa and Michuru mama are both girls. They adopted Hotaru,Usagi, and me when our father was injured in an accident and could no longer take care of us. Anyways, We were watching Our parents chasing each other when suddenly we heard a loud crash from the next room over. Hotaru rushed into the room towards the window with me following close behind. Usagi had beaten both of us to it and was staring out the window trying hard not to laugh we soon saw why. A big owl(and I mean big!) had smashed into the window with its face smushed against the window. It looked hilareous. I know I shouldn't have but I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing. Hotaru soon joined in. I can't tell you how good it felt to hear Hotaru laugh again."Mera! Grab your camera! Hotaru gasped between laughs." Here's another thing I need to explain. We all have talents. Mine are: Painting,Cameras,and guitar. Usagi's are: Singing, Dancing and Gymnastics. Hotaru's are: writing, sports, and Piano. I immeaditly grabbed my digital camera and started clicking away like a mad women. Suddenly the door slammed open and Michuru mama and Haraku papa ran into the room armed with baseball bats. I suppose we must have looked hilarious. Hotaru and Usagi doubled over with laughter, me snapping like a maniac and Michuru mama and Haraku papa both gaping in the doorways. Though undoubtfully the owl did not find it funny. Mum started laughing. Soon dad joined in after a few confused looks at mum. What stopped us was the owl. He or she had started scratching at the window. Hotaru rushed forward to open the window in order to avoid further damage to the window glass. "Hey! There are letters attached to the owls feet! Three of them to be exact!" Hotaru said amazed. I leaned forward to examen them . As I did so I noticed that there was one for each of us. I grabbed them and handed them out.Usagi opened hers right away while Hotaru showed hers to papa and I showed mine to mum. Papa gasped at the letter and said " NO!! My babies are leaving me!!!" At this all four of us(mum, and us three trips) rolled our eyes. Sometimes papa could be so embarresing!! Hotaru opened her letter and read it silently. I decided to do the same but read the letter aloud. The letter said:
"Dear Ms. Tomoh,
We are pleased to inform you that you are excepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry. The school year will start september 3rd. Included is a list of supplies that you can
find in Diagon alley. Students are allowed to bring a owl, cat or toad. I would like to remind you
that first years are not allowed to bring a broomstick.Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" I
finished. Usagi then read the supply list: "A history of magic,transfiguration year 1,potions,defence against the dark art, etc and all that jazz." she finished. " Wow someone must take alot of time to do pranks" Usagi said. "Well.......... um.... thats where we .......um come in..." Papa said. We all turned around to stare at her. "What do you mean?!" we all screamed."What your father is trying to say is that its not a prank. Its a real school that we both attended when we were your age." Mum explained. For once in our sort life all three of us were speechless. So thats the story. Now we are on our way to London. In fact as I am writing this we are pulling into the Leaky Cauldron. We all hop out of the car. Hotaru starts kissing the ground murmuring "Sweet solid ground, how I missed you!" Usagi looks at me and traced a circle near her temple with her finger muttering "cukoo." I nod my head while pretending to not know Hotaru. Eventually we walk into the Leaky Cauldron. Papa walked up to a man standing behind the counter. We would like to rent five rooms for two weeks. Fine that will be 20 galleons and 5 knuts. "Mum, whats he talking about?" I ask. "Yeah what are knuts?" asked Usagi. "And what are galleons?" puts in Hotaru. "Hush now I'll explain later." said mum. "C'mon lets find a table to eat at!" said papa.
