brAuthor's Note - *Red haired girl waves* It's been a long time, and I'm sincerely sorry for that. I got really busy, what with school and trying to keep up with my website. Yes, I do have a real life. *grins* Amazing to think, right? *groans and looks at laptop* There's a lot of story left, so shall we begin again? For your knowledge, things prefaced with this symbol, ~[, and ending with this symbol, ]~, are dream scenes. That includes daydreams, okay? All things in quotes, surrounded by these symbols, { }, are thoughts of that character. Well, away we go!!!

brChapter 2 - Breakfast Discussions and An Unusual Letter
brKianara skipped down the stairs, stopping at the base to pet Squeaker, her kitten. She then walked over to the dining room and saw her family sitting there eating eggs and bacon and pancakes and all sorts of other lovely foods. She sighed with relief and sat down.
br"Hey, Kia, you finally woke up! We were beginning to think you'd miss out on today's breakfast!" Kianara grinned and moved some bacon and pancakes onto her plate.
br"Ha! Me miss Saturday breakfast? You only wish that to happen so you'd have more to eat yourself!"
brThe usual banter continued back and forth between Kianara and her father for most of breakfast, until her mother sat down at the table to eat as well.
br"So, did you sleep well, Kia?"
br"Yeah, mom, pretty well. I had a really strange dream again. I've had it before; I know I have, only I can't remember a lot about it. Just some strangely colored lights and some angels. It was really strange," Kianara pushed the pancakes around in their puddle of syrup absentmindedly, trying to remember more details. "I mean, there were some voices, a green light... and some... angels floating around. A silver aura, and golden eyes, and a dark aura... three different angels, I think... but they all were good! And there was a silvery-blue light... And then I woke up..." She looked up to see her parent's sapphire eyes meeting briefly, and then looking back to her.
br"Kia, just forget about it. It just seems to be a silly dream," said her mom calmly.
br"But... it seems so important..." Kianara poked at her pancakes some more, until they really weren't pancakes, just muck and syrup. Her mom picked up the plates, nudging Kianara to help her. She jumped up and began hastily collecting all the silverware. She put the silverware in the hot sink of bubbly water and sighed. She moved out into the dining room to begin putting away all the leftover food, when she glanced over and saw her father with his head and hands out the window. She stopped and looked at him.
br{"What is dad doing? I've never seen him do that before..."} Her father turned and jumped slightly to see Kianara behind him.
br"Angeline, we had an owlish visitor with mail for Kia. You might want to be out here..." Her father was smiling ear to ear.
br{"What is all this about!? I've never really gotten owl mail... why does mom need to see it?"} Kianara was starting to be irritated.
brHer mother came out of the kitchen, holding her wand. "What is it, David?" She stepped by Kianara to look at the letter and began to grin. "Kia, dear, we have a wonderful piece of mail for you!"
brKianara was becoming more and more irritated by the second. She could see part of the parchment envelope and that it has a purple wax seal, but it didn't ring any bells. "Well, what is it!? Can I have my mail?" Her parents' smiles grew wider as they handed the mail to her. On the front, her name and address were written in a lovely green ink. She flipped it over, saw the entire seal, and began to grin herself. She broke the seal and opened the letter. She jumped up and down, and tackled her parents in a hug.
br"I've been accepted to Hogwarts!! Oh, oh, what a wonderful thing!! When are we going to the Alley for my school stuff!? Oh, I can't wait!!" She danced up the stairs and pinned the letter by her bed. She ran down the stairs and hugged her parents again.
br"Okay, relax, Kia..." Her mother patted Kianara's head. "We'll be going to the Alley three days from now, on your birthday. Your father already sent the owl out and everything's prepared. We're so happy for you, darling!"
brKianara smiled up at her parents, not even noticing the strange looks that passed between them.

brAuthor's Note - *Red haired girl sets aside laptop and drinks some more water* So, how's the story? I think it's okay, but I'll never know for sure unless you tell me what you think of it. So, please, review my story, and come back again, hopefully sometime in the near future, for Chapter 3 - The Alley & New Friends. Have a wonderful time! *Goes to refill her glass with more water*
