KATE'S POV
I couldn't believe what I saw. Which was surprisingly little. Nobody laid on the ground, no one was in sight. The only thing there was a cat and it just sat there.
"Mom…?" Heather asked.
"I don't know girls, I just.. I.. I.." she stuttered.
We searched the ditches along the road but there was nothing. How could we hit someone and them just disappear? How? I was speechless. And weird enough that cat was still sitting in front of our car! It was a small brown tabby.
"I guess we should just continue on.." Our mother finally said.
So we started back to the car, me racing to the front seat to beat Heather which failed.
Right when I started to climb into the back seat the most peculiar thing took place. The cat.. wasn't a cat anymore. It had transformed into a woman. She wore a long green velvet dress and a pointy black hat. She was older but looked wise. And for some odd reason.. I wasn't at all confused. I mean most people would freakout, a cat just became human! But I knew that this was what my dreams were about. It all made sense.
"I am Professor Mcgonagall. I teach at Hogwart's school of Witchcraft and Wizardry," She finally spoke.
I glanced over at Heather and my mother. Heather looked like a deer in headlights and my mom had passed out in the driver's seat.
The woman who called herself Professor Mcgonagall, pulled out a scroll and began to read from it.
"Dear Miss Katelyn and Heather Ambrose,

Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.

Then she handed me a second scroll since Heather and our mom still seemed not capable of reading at the moment.
It read:

I didn't realize Heather was looking over my shoulder also reading.
"I don't understand," Heather sputtered.
"You girls are wizards like your father." The professor said.
"But.. we don't even know our dad." I mentioned.
"You will." Mcgonagall said.
And just like that, she was gone.
