Lily, shakily, ripped open the envelope. She pulled the parchment out, and read: 'Dear Miss Potter, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment for 6th year students. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later then July 31. Yours Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress.'
"That's what mine says, too," Ashura said, scanning over the parchment from in her envelope. The school list fell to the floor. Lily bent over to pick it up.
"This is so cool!" she yelled. Ashura rolled her eyes.
"Just another school, with a bunch of idiots we have to talk to," she muttered, walking out. Lily followed frowning.
"Hogwarts is one of Britain's best schools!" Lily cried. Ashura looked at her.
"Britain?" Ashura asked, "BRITAIN?!? You mean, as in England?"
"Yes!" Lily replied, as they went back downstairs. Ashura bolted down to their parents.
"Mum! Dad!" she said, "Me and Lily can go to Hogwarts!!!"
Lily laughed. "We just got our letters!" Lily added, walking over.
"Really?!" Celeste gasped. Dagmar and Lionel were speechless. "That iz eemprezzeeve!"
"It says to owl back by July 31." Ashura commented. Celeste nodded. She pulled parchment and quill out.
"'Lily and Azhura Potter weell be attendeeng Hogwartz zchool for zeexth and zeventh year. Zigned, Celeste Zea,'" she read aloud as she wrote. Dagmar and Lionel signed it also.
Ripping open the other letter, Lily fell onto her bed, "Daniel replied to my letter!" she cried.
"Isn't that a surprise?" Ashura sneered, opening her letter. Parchment with green writing on it, fell out. "Oh, Narcissa!"
"Narcissa? Not Narcissa Green!" Lily gasped. Ashura nodded, smiling.
"Yes, Narcissa Green! We've been friends since 1st year in Dragonnoir," Ashura said, looking over the letter. Dragonoir happened to be a combination of 'dragon noir', meaning 'black dragon' in French. Which fit the house well, for it was the meanest of the four houses. "She got transferred to another school though...wonder where..."
"Narcissa is a very evil, greedy witch!" Lily said. Ashura started her letter to Narcissa.
"Whatever," she replied, waving her slim hand. She frowned down at the paper. She wrote, 'I'm going to Hogwarts for 6th and 7th year. Do you know anything about it?'
Signing it, and sending the owl away, Ashura lied back, and stared at the ceiling.
A week later, they stood in front of the fire place, about to Flo powder to Diagon Alley. They disappeared into the flames.
