Disclaimer: I own none of the Harry Potter characters...if I did I wouldn't be writing this would I?

"What??" Lynn screamed and jumped off the porch. "There's no way! I-It's impossible! Hogwarts isn't real!"

"Well, it has to be...I have the letter." Nicole stated. still in shock. She held out the letter for Lynn to read. It stated:

Dear Ms. Wood,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been excepted to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Due to certain circumstances you were not allowed to enter until this moment....but all will be explained in time. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

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

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Minerva McGonagall,

Deputy Headmistress

"Oh My God!" Lynn screamed out. Your going to Hogwarts!

"I know...but...why now? Why would they keep something like this from me until now? I mean...I'm a witch!"

"I know...that is strange..."Lynns stated. "You might as well go tell your parents you got the letter so they can give you some money.

"How many times do I have to tell you they are not my parents! I was adopted...remember?" Nicole said rather annoyed.

"Oh, sorry. Well why don't you go tell Bob and Jane then?" Lynn said.

"Like their going to believe me! They already think I'm brainwashed by reading those Harry Potter books anyway.

"Hm...well, how about we say we're going to go to the avenue, you get some money from them...and also get your money as well...and then we'll go to Diagon Alley, get your supplies, get an owl so you can owl them the reply and stay at the Leaky Cauldron until you can go to Hogwarts!" Lynn said suprised that she thought of that.

"Well, I guess that would work...I mean i do have 300 dollars saved up from work...and Bob and Jane usually give me at least 100 so...I guess i will have enough. Lets go. Nicole ran inside and got the money from Bob and Jane. Then, because Lynn was curious, ran back to her house to see if she got a letter. She didn't.

"How come you got a letter and I didn't?" Lynn asked disappointed.

"I have no idea..don't ask me." Nicole replied.

"Oh well, maybe I can sneak in." Lynn said hopefully and both of them took the bus to town to find The Leaky Cauldron.

R/R! Thank you!
