My Letter Arrives
I finally got up and pulled a t-shirt over my skimpy tank top, slid my feet into my slippers, and headed towards the door. On my way I scooped up Alice and headed downstairs with her. When I hit the bottom step I smelt bacon, pancakes, and eggs cooking. Thankfully my mom was already making breakfast.
"Good morning, Mom." I said with a yawn.
"Hey Victoria, your Hogwarts letter is on the table." She said without taking her attention away from cooking. I sat down in my usual spot and pulled the letter towards me to look at the supply list. The letter was always the same but I still left it out so my mom could read it. While I was gazing at the list my mom started bringing over breakfast. After putting the two pans, the pancakes, and a plate of toast on the table she sat down. I continued reading through the list to see what all I would need to get new this year and what I could use from last year.
"Oh, they're having a Yule Ball this year." My mom said while reading the letter.
"A what?" I asked just as I was about to scoop some eggs on my plate.
"A Christmas ball." She said looking up at me.
"Oh, cool." I replied. Yes, I thought, Finally maybe a chance for James and I to start dating. I continued to scoop eggs onto my plate and then grabbed two pancakes, as well as a couple slices of bacon. As I tucked into my breakfast my mother set the letter down and started to serve herself.
"So what do you need new this year?" Mom asked as she started eating.
"Just more advanced text books, dragon hide gloves for Herbology, and a more advanced potion kit really." I said shrugging.
"Okay, I call Ginny later and set up a time for us to go to Diagon Ally together." She said. We always did our shopping with the Potters, though I didn't mind. We continued on with breakfast in relative silence until I headed upstairs to get dressed.
