was a writing mastermind like J.K Rowling though, However I do own The
Herlies. So Enjoy.
Alyssa Herlie sorted through the mail that Liath had brought them. It was strange for this much mail in the summer, she sighed as she flipped through them, recognizing every single one of them. Grandma O'Shaugnessy, Grandpa Herlie in England, Headmistress Frye, and the list went on and on. She stopped at one she didn't really recognize; she lifted it and brought it to her eye level, her green eyes widened as soon as she realized where it was from, Headmaster Dumbledore from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!
"Maighréad!" she yelled as she started running up the stairs towards her youngest daughters bedroom in their acreage outside Dublin, Ireland. Dakota opened her eyes groggily upon hearing her mother call her by her middle name, she hated when she did that.
"Maighréad! Maighréad WAKE UP!" she yelled as she shook her daughter awake. Dakota had jumped in the air upon her mothers touch.
"What, WHAT MA!" Dakota said as she grabbed her mothers shoulder, "ma, MA! Stop shaking me!!"
Alyssa sat down on Dakota's bed and held the letter in front of Dakota's face, her hand was shaking in excitement that Dakota was having a hard time reading it so she snatched it from her mothers hands and read the envelope and flipped it over, to see the patented Hogwarts emblem stamped in red ink. Now it was her turn to be surprised.
"OPEN IT!" Alyssa screamed happily.
"CALM DOWN MOTHER!!" Dakota yelled back at her rubbing the inside of her ear. She ran her finger along the inside of the envelope, breaking the seal, she took the inside parchment out and opened it. She read the trademark green ink and she went pale right away.
Dear Miss. Herlie
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The information about you provided from your teachers at the Emerald Isle School for Witches impressed all of us teachers here at Hogwarts. The traits that had been listed have you matched ideally for the Ravenclaw house, but we will see once you arrive here and get placed into the proper house via the sorting hat. We look forward to meeting you and having you attend our school Enclosed is your list of supplies needed for your sixth year.
"I got in, I'm in," Dakota said in shock.
"Buíochas le Dia. I KNEW you'd get in!!" Alyssa yelled as she wrapped her daughter into a bone-crushing hug.
"Mom.MOM! I can't breathe!" Dakota yelled into her mother's shoulder taking a deep breath in as soon as she let go.
"Well we have to go to Diagon Alley! Get all your supplies, term starts soon you know!" Her mom said snatching the list from her hand and reading it. Dakota watched her mother like she was going to explode; SHE had gotten into the school not her mother.
"Yes mother," she said sighing heavily as she slid out of bed, over sized pyjama pants hanging from her hips and her pink shelf tank fitting snugly around her thin muscular frame and a bit too snugly around her well endowed chest. Dakota pushed her ecstatic and babbling mother out of her room tiredly so she could get dressed for their outing to Diagon alley. Dakota sleepily glided back to her bed and sat down on it, falling back into the many blankets she had on the bed falling back asleep, only to be rudely awakened by one of her younger twin brothers banging on her door yelling
"WAKE UP MEATHEAD!!" She sat up and walked to her door with a heavy pillow in hand. She whipped the door open and whacked Aidan across the face with the pillow before slamming it again.

Meanwhile Oliver Wood sat at the kitchen table in his house eating some breakfast. He looked up upon hearing the familiar screech of his owl delivering his Hogwarts letter. He opened it and read aloud, a habit of his. He raised his eyebrow as he read the list of textbooks he needed. They certainly weren't going to be cheap this year, and why were they all by one 'Gilderoy Lockheart'? He finished his breakfast quickly and gathered his robes quickly as he planned to go to Diagon Alley to grab his supplies for school, which started in a couple weeks.
"Mom, I'm going to Diagon alley, shopping for school supplies!" He said as he grabbed some Floo Powder from the terra cotta pot near the massive fireplace in the kitchen.
"DIAGON ALLEY!" he said holding his hand out throwing the powder down and then disappearing in the green flames and then reappearing in a fireplace in one of the many buildings in Diagon Alley.
