Nessa steps into her house and closes the door. She then realizes that she
dropped the letters on the way back into her house. She whaps her forehead
with her hand and runs back out. She picks up the letters in a hurry to
show to her parents. She moves a bit of hair away from her face and tucks
it into her messy bun.
They'll understand, won't they? I mean, they know what happens in the story & all, and to think that this is real is to be a shock to them. I mean, they'll be happy for me. A witch, I'm a witch. But what if Kitty is right, what if it is all a bit sham? But then what explains the owls that were sitting up on the roves of our houses? Well they are rare to see them at this time in the morning sitting on the rooftop, so maybe it is all true.
Nessa then gets up with the rest of the letters in her arms. She then looks into the sky. It's a beautiful morning indeed, she thought. The sun has cleared out all of the clouds and the fog and it's very clear. A small breeze flows towards her to the house.
It's like they want me to go inside and tell my parents, what? I'm thinking crazy stuff, this possibly can't be for real, because if it is, then something bizarre is probably going to happen in a bit.
She then walks into the house and closes the door. Then she walks casually into the family room like nothing happened to her this morning. She then gives her mother the mail. She goes through it. Darn it, she thought, I left the letter in there, and I wanted to hand it to them, oh well.
She looks over her mother's shoulder as she shuffles through the mail and takes out all of the junk mail. She then lands upon the last letter that is addressed to Nessa. She looks at the front, picks it up, and looks at the back. There on the back is the Hogwarts crest. She then says," What is this Nessa?" She holds up the letter to Nessa so she can see it.
" I don't know. Is that what I think it is though?" says Nessa, thinking that she made her mother sound stupid.
"I know what this is. But I don't see any return address on this or something. Someone must be playing a prank on you or something." Then her mother puts the letter on the table, not even taking a second glance at it. Then her father spots it and picks it up. He opens it and examines the letter. He then puts it down and says," How do we know though dear that this isn't the real thing?"
As soon as he said that, the doorbell rang. Nessa's mother gets up in her sweatshirt and sweatpants and opens the door. It's a man dressed in green robes. Nessa's mother looks at him and puts on her glasses that are on top of her head. She says," Yes?"
The tall man dressed in green robes flattens his robes a bit with his hands fast and says," I hope that your daughter has received her letter to Hogwarts. I am to be her escort for the rest of the week. If you don't mind, I am in a bit of a hurry and I need to get the other girl immediately."
Nessa's mother looks at him in shock like he just said something terrible to her. She then says," Who are you?"
The tall man takes out a piece of paper and says," I am an escort from Hogwarts. I need your daughter to get ready and pack all of her things so she can get her school supplies at Diagon Alley." He then hands Nessa's mother the piece of paper. She opens it and reads it. She then folds it and puts it on the table next to the door and looks at him.
Nessa's mother says," How do I know that this isn't some big way of kidnapping my daughter?"
The tall man says," Why the only way to prove you and your Muggle husband wrong is to do some magic then." Nessa's father goes into the doorway and looks at the tall man dressed in green robes, as does Nessa. He then takes out a flexible Ash 9 ¾ inches with a phoenix feather wand and says something. Then he swishes it around while saying something and then a little weed in between the crack of the concrete grows into a lovely huge tree. Nessa & her parents look at the tree in awe.
The tall man says," Does that prove it now?"
Nessa's mother says," Y-Y-Y-Yes it does." Her father looks behind him and sees Nessa. He points to her and says," Go and get all of your things." She then runs up the stairs with a huge smile on her face.
Meanwhile at Kitty's house you see her parents laughing at the letter after reading it and hearing the story that she said about it. Kitty's father says," Kitty, throw this away, this is nothing but garbage."
"But, But."
" Throw it away."
(Sigh)" Fine, I'll throw it away."
When Kitty was about to throw away the letter into the trashcan, the doorbell rings. Kitty runs to the door with her mother following her. Kitty opens the door with the letter in her hand and there is the same tall man in the green robes standing in front of her. He takes out his wand and says," Good morning Kitty, I-Oh look, you have already received the letter. Hello Kitty's mother, have you read her letter already too? It looks like you've been laughing by the look of your pink face. And Kitty's father, by the looks of it you don't believe that the letter that Kitty received isn't true? Well, you see that tree that's in front of her friend Nessa's house? Well that wasn't there a minute ago, but now it is thanks to me. So I hope that you both believe me that the whole thing is no sham."
Kitty's parents look at each other and make skeptical faces at the tall man dressed in green robes. He then sees their faces and then disappears suddenly into thin air. All three of them look around to see where he has gone. Kitty looks around outside and sees nothing. She then turns to her parents and says," I don't know where he went."
When she said that suddenly he apparated behind her parents. He then says," Does that prove it?"
Her parents spin around and they see the man dressed in green robes behind them. They look at each other and then both say," Yes we do."
"Jolly good, now Kitty, you must get all of your things ready for Hogwarts." Says the man dressed in green robes.
She nods her head and runs upstairs to get her things ready. About 10 to 15 minutes later she runs downstairs with two suitcases full of her stuff. She falls down from the 4th to last step of the stairs as the man dressed in green robes catches her as she falls and the suitcases don't get harmed at all. Then Kitty goes to the bottom of the stairs and she grabs onto the handles of both bags. She then brings them outside with the help of her parents. Then her parents give her lots of money for her trip as they say their goodbyes.
Across the street at the other driveway is her friend Nessa. She too has two suitcases full of her stuff and has lots of money from her parents also. She waves to Kitty and Kitty waves back. Then the man dressed in green robes goes to Kitty's parents and says," She'll be contacting you via owl, which will land into your mailbox. So don't worry. Her and her friend Nessa have wonderful educations awaiting them at Hogwarts, now off we go."
He helps Kitty bring her suitcases to where Nessa is. Nessa suddenly realizes something and says," Excuse me, how are we supposed to get out of here? You need a car to get us anywhere."
The tall man dressed in green robes then says," Well that's why you shouldn't have broughen your stuff outside Nessa, because we are to use Floo Powder to get to Diagon Alley."
"Oh yeah." says Kitty as she remembers about Floo Powder in one of the books.
Then all three of them step into Nessa's house. Nessa's mother & father have already started a fire when they came into the living room. Then the man dressed in green robes, Nessa & Kitty all step up next to the fire. The man dressed in green robes steps up to the fire and takes out some powder from his pouch that's on the side of his pants. He throws it into the flames and the flames go higher and turn a beautiful green color. He then says to Nessa & Kitty," I hope you remember how to do this. Do you?"
Both of them nod at the man dressed in green robes. He then says," Diagon Alley first and steps into the flames with one of Nessa's & Kitty's suitcases. He then disappears. Then Nessa steps up to the flames and also says the same thing with the suitcase held tight in her hands. She then closes her eyes and walks into the flames as she disappears. Kitty then does the same thing, as all three of them go to Diagon Alley.
They'll understand, won't they? I mean, they know what happens in the story & all, and to think that this is real is to be a shock to them. I mean, they'll be happy for me. A witch, I'm a witch.
