Chapter 2 – The unexpected news

Rachel was scared when she woke up. She didn't want to go to Hogwarts. That meant going to Europe. She wanted to stay in Lima with her friends. And how would she tell them about it? Would they understand?

She grabbed her notebook and got on msn. Fortunately, Quinn was online.

"Hey" – she tried to start a conversation.

"Hey".

"Can you come over? I really need to talk to you. And… ask Santana and Brittany to come with you" – Rachel actually didn't know how to talk to them about Hogwarts, but she would try anyway.

"Sure, be there in a sec".

"Thank you" – she started typing, as Quinn got offline.

While waiting for Quinn to get there, she made up what she'd say. Thought of saying something about Finn first.

After waiting for 10 minutes, she heard somebody knock on the door. It was, of course, Quinn.

"Hey" – she said, smiling.

"Hey" – Quinn smiled back at her, scared. – "Look, I'm sorry for yesterday. I don't know what got into me. I'm just sick of you talking about him, you know".

"Of course I know what got into me" – Quinn thought. – "I wish you knew".

"Quinny, do you like him?" – Rachel asked, interrupting Quinn's thoughts.

"What? Of course not. He's a jerk. I would never like him. By the way, you shouldn't like him. Have you seen the way she treats everyone around him? His brother? Can you imagine how he'd treat you like if you dated?"

"Okay, Quinn, come down. Maybe you're right. I'm sorry". – Rachel said. – "Actually, that's not what I wanted to talk to you about".

"That's not?" – Quinn was confused.

"No". – said Rachel, afraid of saying what she was about to say.

At that right moment, Brittany and Santana knocked on her door.

"Thank God you're here already". – said Rachel. – "Okay, I need to tell you something. It's hard, but you need to know".

Quinn pictured a thousand things on her mind. What if Rachel was going to tell her what she wanted to hear? No, but it couldn't be that. Santana and Brittany were there too.

"You know I've never met my mother, right?" – She started.

"Yeah, of course". – Brittany said.

"Well, a few days ago, she told my dads something I found out yesterday, by receiving a letter".

"A LETTER?" – They all said.

"Yeah, why? I got this letter from a school in Europe. – She said, shaking. – "Well… I'm a… witch".

"You're a what?" – asked Quinn, surprised. – "Are you kidding?"

"No, I'm not".

"Oh my God, Brittany and I are going to Hogwarts too!" – Said Santana.

"So am I!" – said Quinn.

"Wait…" – said Rachel. – "This is too much to know in just one day. Are you guys, I mean, ALL OF YOU, witches? How? When? Oh my God!"

"San and I have always known we're witches. Both my parents are. San's mom is. Her father's a muggle." – said Brit.

"I found out yesterday, just like you. It was a shock, actually. But the headmaster of the school, Dumbledore, came here and talked to my parents and told them everything". – said Quinn.

They all couldn't stop smiling. They were all witches. And they were going to a Witchcraft school together. That was going to be great.

"You know, my mom's a witch too. But she never told my dads. We've always thought the strange things were just phases".

"I've noticed them" – said Santana. – "I've always known you both were just like us".

"And you never told us!" – yelled Quinn. – "Santana!"

They, then, started laughing.

"I can't believe we're all going" – said Rachel, when the laughing stopped.

"Neither" – said them, together.

Rachel told them about going shopping with Shelby the next day and asked them if they wanted to go, especially Quinn, who had both parents muggles. Quinn called her parents, who were really surprised by the fact that Rachel, their daughter's best friend, had also just found out she was like Quinn, magical. They let her go with her friend, since they didn't even know where to buy the school stuff.

They kept talking for yours, with Quinn and Rachel asking Brittany and Santana everything about magic. About 7pm Santana's dad came over to pick up Brit and his daughter.

"Do you want to stay for the night?" – Rachel asked Quinn, right after the other girls got out. – "We can stay up all night talking".

"I'm sorry, Rach, but I really can't. My parents and I, ahn… planned on having dinner together tonight." – There was no dinner. Quinn didn't want to stay. The reason, only Quinn knew. She loved her friend.

She was only 11, but she already knew she liked girls and that her best friend was the one she fell in love with. She didn't want to accept that. But she knew she had to. She was trying to get away from Rachel, since she knew Rachel liked Finn, a boy.

Quinn was just scared. She was just a little girl, who found out she wasn't like others.

"Oh, okay then". – Rachel said, disappointed. – "Have a good dinner then".

"Thank you" – she smiled. – "My parents are here. I should go".

"Okay, see you tomorrow. Love you".

"Love you too". – said Quinn, smiling.
