**Chapter Two**
As she walked she remembered the day she got the letter. A man named Albus Dumbledore had sent her a letter, and she was puzzled when she got it. A human family gave it to her, stating that an owl had put it in the mail slot. She had wondered how anyone could know that she was living there. Nevertheless, she opened the envelope and saw a piece of tan parchment, with scribbly writing on it.
"Dear Miss Jocelyn,
My name is Albus Dumbledore, and I know you don't know me, but allow me to introduce myself. I am headmaster at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It has come to my attention that you are a fairy here, living on Earth. Since there have been more fairies that have come to Earth, and you've dealt with humans for five years already, perhaps you would like to come work at Hogwarts, teaching the students about Fairies. You would be able to help the students and staff, since I am aware that fairies are here to help humans, and I would deeply appreciate it. There is a fine salary in it, you get a room, food, anything you need, and it would be a good experience to help educate us about fairies, so that humans and faeries understand and accept each other. Please write back, there is an owl outside waiting for your response. I hope you understand that you will be the first non-wizard to come to Hogwarts and it should be considered an honor. Please arrive at Hogwarts on August 20, a week before the students arrive, so that you can get settled and learn the procedures, so do you wish to accept. I have written a list of supplies that you can purchase at Diagon Alley, and I'm sure you know where that is. There are directions to Hogwarts also included.
Great thanks,
Albus Dumbledore
So that's how it all started. She walked outside, scribbled "Sounds great, a new experience will be fun. –Jocelyn" and handed it to the owl. The owl flew away, becoming smaller as it flew deeper into the blue sky. She went inside and parted with the family. She made herself invisible with the point of a finger, and flew into the air. It was a beautiful day, and she thought about what day it was. August 18?! She had two days to get supplies and be there. She would make it, but she thought it was strange this Dumbledore fellow had only given her two days to get ready. She wasn't mad, but hoped that he would explain the short notice. She got to Diagon Alley, and tapped in the code Dumbledore had told her onto the brick wall. She went into town, bought all her supplies, and realized that she had many people staring at her. She couldn't realize why; she had on normal clothes, like them. Many parents wore robes, but the children and teens wore regular clothes. She just shrugged it off, bought her supplies, went invisible and went into the sky.
She flew to Hogwarts, and the weather cooperated well. It was sunny, a cool breeze, and there weren't any airplanes. Once she got there, she landed on the ground, and walked towards the entrance. She walked in and suddenly felt so lost. It was a huge building, and there wasn't anyone inside that she could see. She "apparated" as the wizards called it, into Dumbledore's office. The old grey wizard sat in a chair, examining pieces of parchment very intensely.
"Hello Mr. Dumbledore, I am here for the job you requested me to do." Jocelyn pronounced, acquiring the wizard to look up. "Miss Jocelyn, it is so lovely to see you! I am very pleased that you have decided to accept my offer. I know that you will be the youngest teacher—by a landslide, but I have trust in you. Here is half of your payment up front," Dumbledore reached out an envelope to Jocelyn, but she did not take it. "I am unable to receive payment for my duties, and I am financially secure, but thank you for the thought. I am willing to work very hard, and it will be difficult, watching over a very BIG family, but I am willing to make the commitment," Jocelyn spoke with dignity and Dumbledore smiled, "Welcome to the family."
Over the next week, she was led to her spacious quarters. She set up her laptop, redecorated the colors, put all her stuff in the drawers and closets, and felt at home. She was taught the rules, showed her classroom, and basically settled in to everything. She learned procedures, met all the teachers (who were very astonished, and noticed they all had talked to Dumbledore "gravely concerned" about a "little girl" who "isn't a wizard" and has an "American accent. Dumbledore dismissed them all and had stated that I was more than qualified for the job. Despite their concerns, the whole staff was very pleasant to me. I appreciated it greatly.
