"Darling, wake up, you don't want to be late for your first day of school,
do you?"
I rolled over slightly, and opened my eyes just enough to see.
"No, probably not," I replied, "What time is it anyways?"
"6:30"
"6:30! In the morning? But last night you said we weren't leaving till 10."
"I know," Mom said, "but I was too excited!"
"Mother!"
"Well, anyways, I have a surprise for you."
She grabbed something from behind her, and held it out to me.
"A Pixie!"
"Yeppers," Mom said with a smug look on her face, "I put the Persona charm on her. And just for fun, I changed her colour too!" she said with a laugh. "Now she's extremely intelligent, courteous, helpful, and very chatty too!"
Always expect Mom to do something like that, I thought.
Mrs. Hewitt was probably as tiny as a pixie herself, with shoulder length, shiny brow -hair, large, dark brown eyes, a button nose, and a tiny pair of bright red lips. She is the Assistant Headmistress at Hogwarts, and teaches advanced Charms to sixth and seventh years. She used to be head of The Committee of experimental charms, where she met her husband, Mr. Andrew Hewitt, who's the head of the Department of International Magical Co- operation at the Ministry of Magic. After being offered a job at Hogwarts, she left the Ministry, and headed to teach at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Around school, she usually wears a beige silk robe, with black pumps, and her hair down.
"Thanks, Mom, that's really great," I told her.
"I thought you'd like her," she said, "I talked to Albus, and he said that we could bend the rules, just a small bit, and all the teachers agree, that you and any other student who has a pixie may take them to class."
"But.what about Luna?"
"Oh, she's still yours. There's no common sense in buying an eagle owl, and not taking her to Hogwarts!" mom said with a laugh.
I sat up and hugged her.
This is going to be great, I thought, Mom and me at Hogwarts!
As well as being the Assistant Headmistress and the Advanced Charms Professor, Kathryn was also the Head of Ravenclaw House, and Kourtney was sure that she would be a Ravenclaw.
Kathryn set the pixie and the cage down, and began to walk out of the room,
"Be sure to double check everything, you don't want to forget anything foolish here, and make Daddy sent it all the way to Hogwarts, do?"
And she left the room.

Kourtney got out of her four poster bed, and looked at the pixie, who was swinging merrily, humming away.
"What's your name?" Kourtney asked the fairy.
"Kiki," the pixie replied.
"Hmm, looks to me like you might need some new clothes," she told the creature, who was only wearing a tattered nightgown, "I have just the thing."
Kourtney walked over to her closet, and then began to rummage through, pulling out box after box until she found what she was looking for,
"Agh! Barbie Clothes!"
She took the box over in front of the cage, and opened its latch.
Kiki stepped out of the cage, and stretched.
Kourtney looked through the box until she found a miniature luggage set, "take as much as you want," she told the fairy.
Kiki began rummaging through shirts after pants, after shorts, after shoes, until she had hand-picked through every item and her luggage was jam- packed.
"Now," Kourtney said, "It's time for me to get dressed."
I rolled over slightly, and opened my eyes just enough to see.
