Chapter 1 Owls carrying...letters? Oo
In an area around Boston, Massachusetts, there was a young girl who had no idea about how special she was. Until one day. She seemed ordinary, she went to school had blonde hair and blue eyes. She had a pet cat, and was normal in every way possible. But, she believed, she believed with all her heart and soul in... magic. She was constantly discouraged by her family and peers. They all thought she was crazy. Her name was Sabrina. On her eleventh birthday (July 29th) she was laying in her room. Looking at her cat she said "Happy birthday to me." Semi sarcastically. "Yep all alone on my birthday." She said. Her little black cat cocked her head to the side and meowed as to say 'What about me?' "Haha and you, Pheobes." She said. "I guess I should get started on my summer reading, huh?" She picked up her book (it was written as a diary) 'Dear diary today I....' Her thoughts trailed off 'blah blah blah blah-blah-blah-blah' "Why can't they make an interesting summer reading book huh?" She grumbled as she went to her fairy tales "How about some magic, adventure, daring princes and brave knights, evil villains, someone with love so deep that they would give their heart life and soul for another? Dragons, Evil witches and wizards, princesses and stories like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow white, the Sword in the stone, Knights of the round table, King Arthur, the adventures of Merlin and Morgana..." after thinking of these things she sighed. "I wish I would be able to jump the border of this bleak life and into the world of the witches and wizards." She sighed again. "If only..."
Meanwhile in England a red headed green eyed girl was waiting for school to begin again, half-hoping for the same thing. Her name was Lily Evans. "I'm bored." She said to herself. "I wonder what Petunia's doing..."
"Lily have you seen any of my books?" Petunia asked her sister.
"Haven't touched them, haven't seen them..." She said not removing her gaze from the ceiling.
"You should really be getting ready for school." Her sister said. "Yes I know." Lily said "I am actually hoping, it's quite silly actually, that I won't have to go back. That someone from another world will take me from my boring life and sweep me off my feet into their magical one..."
"Lily don't be silly!" Petunia said "There is no such thing as magic! Really it's crazy. Come on. Well when you are ready to come back to reality I'll be downstairs." She said somewhat exasperatedly and somewhat hotly.
"She can be such a close-minded idiot sometimes..." Lily said to herself. "I know it's unlikely but still there is a possibility of magi-"She was cut off by an owl sweeping in her window. "Hmmm? A... letter?" This owl had a letter attached to it.

"Wow." She said after reading it over again "I actually got my wish."
Elsewhere in England a girl named Jane with curly brown hair and blue eyes was watching her large furry cat play with its tail and then switch and watch flecks of dust floating through the air... back to his tail... then to dust... tail... dust. "This is pathetic." She said throwing her hands up in the air. "I might as well be in school listening to teachers meaningless babble! Well it's not exactly meaningless, but no one pays attention, and it's just... blah! It's so frustrating! I don't want to go back to school but I do want to have something to do, and its so bori- look at me I'm talking to myself!!! I must be going insane!!!" She went to sit at her desk and let her head fall onto the desk 'I'm-so-bored!' she thought. Then an owl came in through an open window. "AKKK!" then she mumbled "crazy rabid owls. WHAT THE-?" There was a letter on its leg. "Okay." She took the letter off its leg and it flew out of the window.

"This is so awesome!" She yelled.
Back in Boston Sabrina was gazing at the ceiling. "Boredom." She said to herself. "Exasperating, sleepy boredom." An owl flew in to her bedroom window carrying a letter. "Wha-?"

"YES, YES, YES!!!!! IM GOING TO A MAGICAL SCHOOL IN ENGLAND!!!!!"
"JAMES!" Mrs. Potter yelled.
"Yeah mum?" James said
"Your school letter is here." She said.
"Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna write Sirius mum."
"Okay." Said Mrs.Potter
Hey Mate!
You got your school supplies yet? If not want to get them with Remus on the same day? Before school get together? Mischief making? Let me know!
James
"Hmm... I think that's good enough..." he said sounding satisfied with himself. "Yes this is plenty good!" He walked over to his owl. "Here now take this directly to Sirius." He told the owl as it fluttered out of the window.
"But, mum, what if they don't accept me at Hogwarts?" Remus asked nervously
"Dumbledore is a good man Remus, he'll accept you." Said Mrs. Lupin
"But."
"Don't fret Remus, ah! Here is your supplies list now!"
"Phew..."
"I told you Remus, see you'll be able to go to a wizard's school after all!"
"I'm going to write James."
"What about Sirius?"
"I'm certain he has already written him."
"Okay dear."
Dear James,
When do you want to get your supplies? Have you already written to Sirius? Please send a letter back with my owl. When you get a specified date please tell me.
Your friend,
Remus Lupin
"Hmmm... what's this. AH Remus has sent me an owl!."
"SIRIUS!" Yelled Mrs. Black, up the stairs.
"Mum, I'm right here." Sirius responded
"Well here is your supplies list."
"Thank you."
"Have you seen your brother?"
"He's bothering the house elf again."
"Alright dear, thank you."
Sirius walked up the stairs into his room. "OY! Hey, Psyche, James send you with a letter or just dropping by?" he said jokingly "thank you.
Hey Mate!

"REGULUS!" Sirius said stopping his letter.
"Yes Sirius"
"Pick a number between one and 30."
"Uhhh. How about 15?"
"Thank you! You may leave." Sirius continued his letter
James how about the fifteenth of August?
"Okay" James said "OY!" His owl nearly took his head off swooping in the window. "Response from Sirius."
OY!,

James
"Take this back to Sirius, Psyche."
Remus,

"Okay now take this to Remus." The two owls flew out of the window.
"Ah you're back." Remus said to his owl. "Letter from James?"
Remus,

"Now would you please take this to James?" he said tying the letter to the owl's leg and it flew off
