Louise held her breath as Professor McGonagall opened her mouth.
"You have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." McGonagall smiled as Louise jumped up and down for joy.
"Thank you Professor!" Louise beamed "I'll be the best student ever!"
"You'll have strong competition my dear," McGonagall said wily. "You're free to go and tell your mother, you can start next week,"
Louise turned and went out of the room a huge smile plastered on her face.
"Well?" Her mother said impatiently
"I got in!" Louise said happily "I start next week,"
"Next week?" Her mother said angrily "I have to put up with you for another week?"
"I'm afraid so," Louise said blinking back tears. She didn't know why her mother hated her so much and wanted to get rid of her. Part of her didn't want to go, but she knew she couldn't stand living with her mother anymore.
"Let's go home then," Her mother began to walk towards the exit. "You can pack as soon as we get back,".
"Ok mother," Louise said tearfully.
Her mother didn't even notice the silent tears spilling down Louise's face
