Who's Harry Potter?
Julia sat down on a stool in the corner of the room. She looked at the pictures of Elvis on the wall. A few of them even danced around, gyrating on miniature stages. Julia sat in silence as Mr. Davis and Ms. Parker took their seats and Kitty sat opposite her, holding back on the urge to talk incessantly.
All of a sudden it hit her. Ministry of Magic? Muggles? Magically expanded sports cars? Oh my goodness! She was straight out of a Harry Potter book! Wait, wait... she was overreacting. How could she be?! There were dancing Elvis pictures on the wall next to a magic window! Julia took a few deep breaths trying not to hyperventilate. Kitty gave her an odd look from across the room.
"Are you okay, Jules?" Kitty made the same odd expression and the two adults looked up from their paperwork.
"What's wrong, Ms. Campbell?" asked Mrs. Parker.
Julia thought of how to get all the information she wanted out of one question. "Alright, who's Harry Potter?" she asked simply.
All three looked at her, puzzled. "You mean... Harry Potter, from the book?" Kitty wanted to know. Julia nodded and looked at Mr. Davis who appeared as if he were about to answer.
He did, "Harry Potter is indeed a real person, as is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The stories are supposedly true, although the author had to invent a few of the parts herself where no actual accounts could have been given. Of course Ms. Rowling also added a few tidbits about Harry and other elements to make the tale more interesting. In my opinion, she should have added something about the Big E." Julia figured that he was talking about Elvis. Kitty's father let out a long sigh and continued. "Actually, I received a letter from Hogwarts while we were having you try out the spells. It seems they want you to attend there. Take a look." Mr. Davis handed her the parchment written on in loopy green letters and Julia read it over.
'Dear Ms. Campbell,
It has come to the attention of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that you posess interesting magical abilities and we should like to offer you a place at Hogwarts on our Foreign Exchange Wizards policy. Please send a return owl and we will notify your parents by muggle post. Your local school system is willing for you to attend as they belive Hogwarts is a muggle school with an exchange student program. Your school will also notify your home should you choose to attend Hogwarts.'
Julia looked up from the paper and frowned. The school system didn't know she was going to a magic school, but would her parents? She looked back down and found that the next sentence addressed the issue.
'Your parents have yet to have been told of your abilities and Hogwarts will not inform them unless you feel it is appropriate. We feel that you may address the matter in your own time and way. We will explain that you will be attending a prepatory school in England for the most intelligent, well-rounded students who wish to be on the exchange student program. As the school year is almost over, you would start school at Hogwarts next September. Feel free to finish up the year at your muggle school and spend the summer seeing to personal affairs.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster'
Julia blinked and looked up at Kitty who could contain her interest no longer. "Whatzitt say?"
"Dumbledore wants me to stay in England."
A/N: Sorry, I'm slightly stuck on what to do... but I've got to get her there somehow! Read and review please! ^__^
