But what happens when She receives information that she has to attend Hogwarts for her sixth and seventh year of schooling.

Chapter 2 {}= Elle's thoughts

YEAR 2

{Crazy people} thought Elle as she looked at the food fight brewing around her at breakfast {Oh wait I must be the crazy one as I started it}. Elle was the resident troublemaker at Hardwood but her amazing grades and personality kept her out of major punishments.

Elle ducked a bowl of oatmeal and threw a plate of eggs at the person who meant to hit her with the oatmeal.

"Cease" yelled the headmaster Charleston. "Elle Epans"

"Yes Headmaster" said Elle innocently.

"Did you start this?" questioned the headmaster.

"Well sir, what happened was is that Leonora wanted a role so I tossed one to her but she missed and it landed in Mike's orange juice splattering everyone and one thing led to another and presto food fight".

The headmaster laughed at the logic that had just gotten the twelve year old out of trouble.

YEAR 3

Elle felt eyes on her in the library when she was looking for a spell that could bring snow in June.

"Derek is looking at you again," said Jasmine at dinner the night before Holiday break.

"I heard him tell Michael that he had a crush on you," chorused Cynthia

Carrie laughed "Merlin Elle that's the fifth guy this month, leave some for the rest of us".

Elle laughed "what can I do if guys find me irresistible" she said innocently.

YEAR 4

{Enough of this} thought Elle as she watched her friends pour over witch weekly for the a hundredth time that day. "Would you people please stop obsessing over the Triwizard tournament" she half yelled "its not that big of a deal".

Wendy laughed "Elle would you give it a rest. The guys in England are hot".

"Merlin help me, we are in America not England so would you put the magazine away for the love of god" she said annoyed.

"We do not all have guys lined up for dates like you do Elle" said Cynthia

"I do not have guys lined up," pouted Elle.

"Yes you do," cried her friends.

YEAR 5

"Hey Elle" called Chris her boyfriend from across the hall.

"Chris" she said giving him a quick kiss.

"Elle we have a problem" said Chris worriedly.

Elle backed out of the embrace and looked him in the eye and said " what did you do this time".

"Well the rash powder in Bryon's cloths" said Chris suppressing giggles.

"Yes," said Elle laughing because she realized it was a minor problem.

Chris suppressed a laugh as he got out "well he's allergic to it and it turned his skin into scales".

"No way" laughed Elle.

"That's what I thought until I saw it" said Chris "so movie and dinner in the town tomorrow"

"Okay" replied Elle. The bell sounded so neither of them could say more so with a quick kiss they ran to their separate classes.

The rest of the year went smoothly for Elle and she scored Outstanding on all of her O.W.L.'s. At one point or another Chris decided to break up with her but she felt the same way so she broke up with him first, but they ended up staying friends. Other than that nothing-major happened life was good to Elle, but when she would get home from school that would all change.

I know its short but I want her to get to Hogwarts without boring you guys to bits. To my reviewers: thank you all and to those of you who choose to be jerks and say that I shouldn't post things that aren't going to happen at Hogwarts did you miss the part where I said she was going to Hogwarts for her sixth and seventh years.
