"I'm so bored."
She complained for the millionth time.
They've been sitting inside for almost two hours. The adults were having some kind of discussion in the backyard, with something bitter inside their teas.
At least the boys weren't here. For some reason they've decided that it's a nice idea to throw things at them. She's getting tired of their antics.
"Do you guys hear something?"
The brunette watched as Daphne raised her head from the pillow and started to look for the noise.
"Pansy, I think there's an owl outside for you."
Pansy watched as Millicent opened the window to a big, brown owl. It dropped a heavy envelope on her desk, and let.
She opened the envelope.
"Oh" – She said, as she read the paper in front of her – "It's just my letter from Hogwarts. Have you already received yours?"
The other girls nodded.
Throwing the envelope aside, she huffed.
"I'm so bored."

She watched in awe as her best friend explained to her how magic works. How he's able to do anything with just the right words.
Or how he will, after he finishes his studies.
"So you have magic in you, but you need to study in order to use it?"
He nodded – "I just received my letter. My term starts in September."
She just stared at him – "And when are you coming back?"
He's not looking at her, anymore.
"Sev?" – She stared at him with her hopeful green eyes.
"Only at the end of the term." – He is looking at her now – "We have holiday vacation, but you know how things are in my place so…"
"I see." – She nodded.
They stayed in the swing till dinner time.
When he started to tell her about it, she dreamed for days about how she would love to go to some school and act like Tinker Bell and so. But now, she'll have nightmares thinking that not only she's not some fairy from her fairytales, but she'll not have her best friend to share them with.

"Lily?"
She lazily opened her eyes. Searching for the sound of the voice, she found her mother opening the curtains of her bedroom.
"Do you need to do that?" – She asked, getting up.
"Yes, I do, because I need you to be downstairs like, now."
The redhead listened to the urgency in her mother's voice and looked alarmed at her. – "Did something happen?"
"I know that this will sound odd, but there's an owl outside your window" – As her mother opened the said window, the bird dropped an envelope on her lap.
Lily stared at it and opened.
She didn't need her mother to tell her that she's crying.
"What's wrong dear?"
With a big, beautiful smile on her face, she read her acceptance letter to Hogwarts and wondered if she'd be the first redheaded fairy ever.
