Chapter One:
The Letter
Lara Katts rolled onto her back smiling; she just had the most wonderful dream about flying over London in the cloud filled sky. Lara always loved these dreams, for she, in real life, was finally able to on her own, no plane, no broomstick, just her very own wings. You see Lara is no ordinary girl; she is, in fact, a witch, a witch that could turn herself into a Robin. In a few days she would be returning to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she got the idea for turning herself into a Robin from her Transfiguration teacher, Professor McGonagall.
"Lara" came her mother's voice, "Lara dear, breakfast will be ready in five menits!"
"Okay mum, I'll be right down." Lara yelled back
She got out of bed and started over toward her wardrobe when she heard a pecking on her bedroom window, she looked over and saw a snow white owl with a letter tied to it's leg. Lara walked over to her window, opened it, and let the owl in, which landed on her bed.
"I was wondering when you where going to get here, I've been waiting for that letter." Lara said as she went to her bathroom to the owl some water.
She sat down and untied the letter from the owls leg, it was a yellowish parchment addressed in green ink to:
Miss L. Katts
8 Roseburg Drive
Godric Hollow
London
Lara opened the envelope and found a letter inside. The owl gave a soft hoot of thanks and flew out the opened window as Lara began to read her letter:
Dear Miss Katts Please note that the new school year will begin on September the first. The Hogwarts Express will leave from King's Cross Station, platform nine and
three-quarters, at eleven o'clock.
A list of schoolbooks is enclosed.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall

After Lara finished reading her letter she put on a pair of blue jeans, a purple (her favorite colour) shirt and some snickers, put the letter in her pocket and went down stairs for breakfast where she was greeted by the wonderful smell of pancakes.
"Morning mum, dad" Lara said as she entered the kitchen
"Morning honey" said her mum, Joanna, putting pancakes on the table
"Morning dear" said her dad, Peter, behind his newspaper
"Morning Suzie" Lara said to her eleven year old sister
"Morning, guess what everyone?!" Suzie said jumping up and down
"I don't know, what?" said Mrs. Katts
"I just got my Hogwarts letter!!!!"
"I knew you would!!"
"Yeah, now we can go to Diagon Alley together!" Lara said
"You're talking like I've never been to Diagon Alley."
"You haven't not for schoolbooks and parchment and robes and, this is going to be so much fun!!"
"Tell you what," said Mrs. Katts "I'll talk to Mrs. Weasley and see if we all can go to Diagon Alley tomorrow? What do you say?"
"Awesome," said Suzie "I'll get to shop with Ginny!!"
"Maybe I'll run into Oliver while I'm there." Lara said in a day-dreamy voice, you see, Lara has a huge crush on Olive Wood, The Keeper on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
"Oh Oliver," Suzie mocked "I want to kiss you and hug you and-"
"Suzie,"
"Yeah?"
"Run!"
