Sorry. I know these chapters are short, but they really do look longer when
written out and typed. I'll try to make the ones after this a little
longer.

"Mom! Mom!" Julia ran down the stairs the next morning, waving the letter in her hand. "What is it?" her mom asked, sipping her coffee. Julia lived with just her mom. Her family was originally from England. They had lived there until Julia was a year old and her dad died in a car accident. Then her mom and her moved to Florida. And Julia grew up as an American. Her mom had a British accent and sometimes used British words. Julia spoke like any other Floridian girl. Everytime she spoke in public in London, everyone looked at her weird. She began to ignore the other teenage girls who would laugh everytime she spoke. Besides the fact that she couldn't find anyone that would laugh at her voice, she couldn't find anyone here that liked skateboarding and punk rock. She basically gave up finding any girls like that here. But she jumped at the chance to go to a school with people that actually might have something in common with her. "Mom! I'm a witch!" she placed the letter in front of her mother, who set her coffee mug down rather quickly. "You've been accepted into Hogwarts?!" "Yeah! Wait?! How do you know." "I went there myself." her mother interrupted. "Really?! You're a witch too?!" "Yup. And your father was a wizard." "How come you never told me?!" Julia demanded. "I was waiting for the right moment." "I guess that's good enough of an answer." Julia rolled her eyes. Her mom read the letter and looked over the list. "I guess we need to go to Diagon Alley. I'll have show the wizarding world." "WHOO HOO!!! I think." Her mom burst out laughing, "Let's go," she picked up a pot of sparkling powder off the fireplace mantle, "This is Floo powder." "And?" "You take it and throw it into the fire, step into it and say very clearly where you want to go." "Oh I s.I HAVE TO STEP INTO THE FIRE?!!" "The Floo powder won't let you burn." Her mom looked like she was trying hard not to laugh. "That's easy for you to say. You go first." Julia's eyes were bulging. Her mom threw a pinch of Floo powder into the flames, which turned green, ducked under the mantle, stood up inside the fireplace, and said clearly "Diagon Alley!" and her mother disappeared with a WOOSH! Julia, shaking, threw a pinch of the powder into the fire and carefully stepped in like her mother and said, "Diagon Alley!" The next she knew was she felt a whirling, spinning, rush and suddenly she hit hard ground, her bad, right knee buckling and causing her to fall. "You okay?" her mom asked, offering Julia a hand up. "Yeah it was just that stupid knee again." "That's why I never have and never will approve of your skateboarding." "Oh well. I'm not a person to give up." Her mom just shook her head, "Come on, we need to head to Gringotts." Julia didn't ask what Gringotts was. She was to busy looking around at their surroundings.
