Disclaimer: Do you really think high schoolers own something as amazing and huge as the Harry Potter universe? This is just Hannah having some fun with a story she loves, and me being a typist. WE OWN NOTHING!
"Mum! Is it time for dinner yet?" A girl asked her mother from a bedroom upstairs. She had long, brown, wavy hair and was pretty tall for her age. She had just finished watching her favorite movie, Alice in Wonderland, and was starting to get hungry—it was almost six o'clock.
"Kat! Dinner's almost done, do you want to help Caroline set the table?" Her mother asked up the stairs. Miranda Lewis had two daughters, Katarina and Caroline. Katarina was eleven and Caroline was seven. Miranda was very happy being normal, as was her husband, Michael. They had two perfect daughters, a perfect house, and most of all, no magic.
Miranda's brother and sister, Christopher and Alexandra, were "different," as she called it. Christopher was eight years younger than she was and Alexandra was ten. They were the only ones in the family who had magical powers, and her parents were proud of Chris and Alex. Miranda on the other hand, not so much.
Kat came downstairs to assist her sister as an owl sat near the kitchen window. She looked at the owl, very confused as to why it was there. This was London, not an owlery!
"Mum, why is there an owl near the kitchen window?" Kat asked her mother who was in the living room watching the news.
"An owl?" Caroline asked Kat. "Ooh, Mummy, can we keep it?" Miranda stepped into the kitchen with an astounded and angry look on her face.
"Michael, come quickly!" Miranda called to her husband. She thought she put an end to this when her and her husband adopted their eldest daughter and raised her as a Muggle; though Miranda recognized she was probably a witch. Miranda knew well enough that Katarina's biological parents were magical, and though she was who she was, she had hoped her daughter was not magical.
The owl outside with a letter in its beak ruined her hopes and dreams, however. That letter would change Kat's life forever. Was she going to let her daughter go to Hogwarts? She didn't want to, but really, it was Kat's choice.
"What, Miranda? I was on the telephone with a client in California." Michael said, looking unhappy. Michael was the work—oriented man of the Lewis family. He worked for a local company who communicated with many companies around the world. His whole family didn't know what company he works for, they just knew he makes a good amount of money.
Miranda pointed at the window and Michael's eyes went wide. "Caroline, follow me. Your mother and Katarina have some things to discuss." Michael said, leading his younger daughter out of the room.
"Mum? Is everything okay?" Kat asked her mother. Miranda had known for a while that this day was probably going to come, but she didn't want it to. It meant that her daughter was one of "them" and was "different." She knew her husband would probably kick her out of the house, but for Kat, that maybe a good thing. She could meet her biological mum, Lavender, and possibly meet her father.
"Katarina Elizabeth Lewis, I know it is not your fault, but that owl outside in the window shows that you are different. It means that you are like Uncle Chris and Aunt Alex." Miranda started.
"But you hate Uncle Chris and Aunt Alex." Kat said, frowning.
"Yes, that is true. Go get the letter from the owl and you will see how you are alike. I will be right back." Miranda stepped out of the kitchen and walked up to the master bedroom. She went to her nightstand and opened it. Inside it was an envelope with Katarina written on it in flowing ink. Miranda knew she had to give this to Kat. It was what she had to do as a good mother to her daughter.
Katarina retrieved the letter from the owl's beak and read the front of the envelope. It had said her name along with her address. She read it, and her eyes went wide. "Mum! Can I go? Please?" She begged.
"We will have to talk to your father before I can say for sure, but we'll see." Miranda said. She knew if Katarina went, it would change her life, forever.
