A/N Okay, I can tell this is only going to get one review, TOPS, but for real readers I'm going to continue! Excuse any inaccurate events that do not add up to the Harry Potter series. I will fix it, if it wasn't attended. I ALSO KNOW THAT MOLLY AND AUTHUR DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE TELEPHONES, BUT JUST PRETEND! Editing done by DianeCahil.
I blinked once attempting to get the morning lights into focus. I looked around my small room and saw an odd-looking letter sitting on my desk. It was labeled 'To Charity Sage Garwell, the girl in the bedroom across from the kitchen'. It said it was from some place called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, what is Hogwarts? A warty-hog? I rubbed my eyes, and stood up. The letter felt like parchment.
"Mum! I got a letter from a place called Hogwarts!" I yelled from my room.
Mum walked groggily into my room, still rubbing sand out her eyes. She took the letter out of my hands and read it. She had to squint her eyes just to see who it was to. "Char, will you put on your glasses and read it to me; your old Mum can't see as well as she used to." She said.
"Yes ma'am," I said as I put on my glasses,"It says 'Charity Sage Garwell, you have been accepted into Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. On September 1st report to Train Station nine and three-quarters. Please get the following things.

PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST YEARS ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICKS!"
"Mom, what is this stuff? Does have something to do with Dad?" I asked her looking back at the letter then at her.
She started to wring her hands, now I knew something was up! Mum only wrang her hands when she was nervous or hiding something.
"I know, I'll call Molly and Authur!" She exclaimed suddenly and hurried to our kitchen to apparently call Molly and Authur, whoever they are.
"Molly! Charity got into Hogwarts. She needs to buy her supplies for school. Can she stay with you for the remaining two days left until Hogwarts?" My mum said it all so quickly I wasn't so sure if that is even what she said.
I heard muffled talking on the other line. What was Hogwarts? Have Mum and I gone bonkers? Who are these Molly and Authur people? What would I need a WAND for? Or any other of that stuff for that matter? So many questions, no answers!
Mum hung up the phone quickly. "Pack your bag! Hurry!"
"What the heck was going?" I thought as I packed my bags.
It only took me a little while, as I didn't have much. After I zipped up my travel bag, I heard collective oofs and OWS and wickeds. Then I heard someone say, "Joel! I haven't seen you in so long! Where's that daughter of yours?"
It sounded like a woman's voice. I stuck my head out of my room and saw seven gingers, all of different ages and genders. There were six boys and one girl. A girl about my age saw me and asked,"Mummy, look! Is that Charity?"
She had straight,frizzily red hair, like the others, and brown eyes. She was wearing a shirt that said 'Ginny Weasley'. I'm assuming that was her name.
"Yes, go say hello! And what did I say about pointing?" The mother,just assuming,replied to Ginny Weasley.
"Its rude," She said then ran up to me, "Hello! I'm Ginny Weasley!"
I was a little bit shy around her, at first. "Shy are you now?" She asked me, already making herself comfortable on my bed.
I nodded my head, not knowing what to say. "Can you talk?" Ginny asked me.
"Yes, and very well might I add!" I said getting a little bit defensive.
"Didn't mean to be harsh..." She said looking down at her feet.
"Its fine. I just got defensive, that's all," I replied.
She perked up a bit once I told her that. "GINNY! CHARITY! COME ON NOW!" Her mother yelled.
We walked into the living room, where her family was waiting. The mother was holding a jar of powdery looking stuff. It was labeled 'Floo Powder'.
"Okay Charity and Ginny go together," She instructed," Okay put some Floo Powder into the fire, wait for it to turn green, say these words loudly and clearly 'The Burrow', then step into the flames quickly!"
Ginny and I did as we were told. I stepped into the flames and felt like I was about to puke. It felt like a roller-coaster, not that I would know, we never had enough money TO go to a roller-coaster park. Suddenly, I was standing in a very untidy household.
"Follow me!" Ginny called to me as she ran up the wobbly stairs.
She opened a door that led to a tidy room. The walls were a dirty white color. There were two beds, one with a normal colored bedspreads and pillows, another one with a green bedspreads and pillows.
"Is this your room?" I asked Ginny looking around, taking in my sights.
"Yes, this is will you'll be staying," Her mother suddenly appeared behind us.
