I must have slept the entire way there, because one minute I was searching
for my house out the plane window, and the next minute my Mom was showing
me our new house. "Where's Bojangles?" I asked as we got off the plane.
"Don't worry about her," My Mom said. "She'll be by the baggage claim." I
still felt shaky, but I was okay. Mom rented our car, as I waited by the
baggage claim. She met up with me just as I met up with Bojangles. We
got our stuff together, and went out to find our car.
I wasn't used to seeing French cars, but it was okay. My Mom grew up in France, she came to the US when she was 25, and she met my Dad. She still knew how to do everything, and both of us knew French. We got to the house, which was huge. I knew my Mom's family was wealthy, but I had no idea. It was like a castle! "A chateau" My Mom said. "Wow" I guess we're related to some duchess who hid away some massive fortune during the French Revolution. And My Mom, being the only grandchild, inherited this house. I was amazed.
"Go pick out a room" She said sweetly. I let Bojangles out of her cage and she followed me up the huge marble staircase. "So, It's just us here?" I shouted to her. "Well the house hold staff is here too," My Mom yelled back. I laughed at the echo-effect we had. Bojangles walked behind me up to the second floor. I checked out the first few rooms, and then I found the one. It was the size of our top floor, at our old house. There was a turret on the side that was all windows. The walls were blue and the carpeting was white. It was like walking into the sky! The curtains were gauzy white, and there was a canopy bed in the center of the room with blue covers, and the canopy was white like the curtains. I smiled, and looked at Bojangles. "I think we're going to like it here!" All the other furniture as a rich dark color, who knows what kind it was? And there was a bathroom off to the side of the room, and a fireplace by the door.
I walked over to the bed, and was about to sit down on it, when something caught my eye. It was a thick envelope, and it had my name written in gold on it. It had been resting on the pillow, "What's this?" I asked Bojangles. She just blinked back at me. I opened it. "Dear Miss Hamilton, We are excited to inform you that you have been excepting at Hogwarts School for witchcraft and wizardry" I read aloud. "Hogwarts?" I looked at Bojangles. She had fallen asleep on the floor. I got up and went to find my Mom. "Mom!" I yelled. "MOOOOOOOOOM!" Finally I found her in the kitchen talking to a woman and a large man. I showed her the letter. "Hmmm" she said. Leading me into a huge dining room. "Do you know what this is?" I asked her. "I guess it's about time I told you, huh?" "Told me what? What's going on?" "Honey, you're a witch." "What do you mean by that?!?" "No, look, you are a magical person. I went to Hogwarts it was the best 7 years of my life." I sat down on one of the straight-backed chairs. She finished reading the letter and sat down next to me. "Professor Dumbledor, the head master, should be coming here in the next few days to meet with you." "I'm really confused." "Look honey, it's late, we'll talk more in the morning, go unpack, and get some sleep."
Ha, like I could sleep! I slept for the past nine hours! I unpacked; I found Bojangles litter box. I put it in MY bathroom, and filled it with the kitty litter stuff. I unpacked the majority of my clothes, and I looked over my Room. It was so huge. Maybe Mom will let me get a couch and a bigger TV or something! I need to fill this room up. Somehow Mom had gotten the house rewired, and all the outlets were the same as the American outlets. I set up my stereo first; I put in my new Good Charlotte CD and moved onto other stuff. There was a desk by the turret, so I set up my computer, and found a phone line! "Score!" I said to Bojangles. Then I found a panel behind a wall, and it was like a hidden entertainment center. With shelves for my little TV and VCR as well as my Stereo, which I had already set up, and some smaller ones, which I put my DVD's and Videos in, as well as some of my books. There was phone mounted on the wall, but it wasn't like a normal phone, it had 4 digit numbers on the buttons. I picked it up and pressed one. "H-hello?" I said into it. "Yes miss?" I nearly dropped the phone. "Who is this?" I asked. "This is Charles, I'm the chef" "Oh, Hi!" I said "Hello, do you need anything?" "No sir, I'm fine!" "Ok then" "No wait! Can you tell me what these buttons do?" He yawned and went on to tell me what each button did, then I asked him what time it was. "1:34 AM Miss" He said, sounding annoyed. "Oh geez! I'm so sorry!" and then I hung up the phone and turned down my music. I yawned, but I definitely wasn't tired, so I turned on my TV to see what kind of TV they have in France, I wasn't that impressed, so I turned it off and went to bed. I forgot all about the letter, as I fell asleep.
