Chapter Three: Understanding

The only noise that could be heard from Enya's room, was the sound of paper tearing as we all opened our letters. Once we all had the letter out of the envelope, we opened the letters all together. We were all silent for about ten minutes as we read the letters over and over, trying to get what we were reading to stick in our minds. Finally, someone spoke up, it was Raine.

"Were witches?" she said.

"And were all going to a school called" I looked back at the letter "Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry?" I said.

"And, were only getting our letters now because no-one knew we could do magic?" said Enya.

We were all silent again, until huge grins appeared on all of our faces. We all ran in and hugged each other, laughing and giggling.

"I cant believe it, were really witches?" I asked.

"I guess so, oh this is going to be the experience everyone dreams of, that they have magical abilities I mean" said Raine.

"I know" replied Enya.

I looked down at my letter again and realised that I hadn't read the very bottom part.

"Hey guys, listen to this, The staff here at Hogwarts will need your replies straight away so the owls can get them to us as quickly as possible. We are also going to be sending a guide over to Miss Enya Daemono's house on Sunday morning at precisely eleven o'clock to take you for your school supplies. Please be ready at this time.

Yours Sincerely

Professor Minerva McGonagoll"

"I wonder what the guide is going to be like?" asked Raine.

"Dunno" replied Enya.

"Well if there coming on Sunday morning and tomorrow is Saturday, then we need to ask our parents a few questions" I said.

"I agree" said Raine.

"I know, we can ask them to come over to my house tomorrow so we can all discuss it together, it might be easier that way"

"Yeah, but right now I think we should send our replies off with the owls and get some rest" I said, pointing over to where the owls were.

"O.k." said Raine and Enya in unison.

We walked over to were the owls had perched themselves, patiently waiting for us to give them our answers. We each wrote our reply on the bottom part of the paper, at least that's what we thought it was, and tied them to each owls leg. Enya pulled the window open wide and we watched in amazement as each off the owls soared off into the night sky, one behind the other. When we couldn't see them anymore, we shut the window and climbed back into bed, patiently wishing that tomorrow would come as quickly as possible.

The next morning, I was the first to wake. I sat up and remembered the events of last night, but wondered if it was just a dream. I was soon proved wrong by a single owl feather that was on the floor next to me. I smiled to myself and climbed out of bed. I picked the owl feather up and put it on the desk next to me. I then walked over to Raine and Enya to wake them up. Since talking them awake, didn't look like it was going to work, I took my bottle of water out of my bag and unscrewed the lid. I poured a bit of it on Enya's face, and a bit on Raine's face.

"Hey, what gives?" asked Raine as she was the first to wake up.

"Nothing, just thought of a good way to wake you up in a hurry, that's all!" I said trying my hardest not to laugh, but eventually I gave in and so did Raine as we sat there laughing together.

Raine got up out of her bed and walked over to me.

"How come you didn't put water over Enya?" she asked.

"I did, but apparently it didn't have any effect" I said as I pointed over to where Enya was sleeping.

"I've got any idea, of how we can get her up"

"How?" I asked, with a quizzical look on my face.

"Tickle her awake, simple but effective"

I smiled at Raine and together we walked up to Enya.

"O.k., on three" I said.

"One"

"Two"

"Three!" we said in unison.

We jumped on top of Enya and began to tickle her mercilessly. Instantly she woke up, and somehow managed to roll of the bed and landed with a thud on the floor. Me and Raine were right behind her. We all looked at one another and burst out into hysterics. Once we had all calmed down, we got dressed and began to discuss what we were going to do about telling our parents.

"You know my mum and dad, and Raine's mum and dad are coming to pick us up at the same time today" I said.

"Yeah" said Enya as Raine nodded her head in agreement.

"Well, I was thinking, why don't we invite them in and get them to all sit down at the table along with Enya's parents, and then we can tell them what happened and that we were going to Hogwarts and that a guide is coming to Enya's house tomorrow to take us to get our school supplies, sound good?"

"Sounds perfect!" said Enya and Raine together.

"Well, since the guide is coming to my house tomorrow," said Enya "Why don't you two just stay over again tonight, it would mean less hassle for our parents"

"I'm in!" said Raine.

"Me too!" I replied.

The day passed pretty slowly considering that we wanted it to go really fast. Eventually, at three o'clock in the afternoon, we all heard two cars pull up outside and all raced to the front door to let my mum and dad in and Raine's mum and dad in. Enya went to get her parents and told them to sit at the table while me and Raine pushed our parents over and forced them to sit down as well.

"Girls, what is this all about?" asked Raine's dad, as the other parents nodded in agreement.

Since Raine and Enya didn't want to explain it all, I had been voted to do it. While Enya and Raine each took a place at my right and left hand sides, I began to explain.

"Well, last night, when we had the sleepover I mean, I was awoken in the middle of the night by a tapping noise, I didn't know where it was coming from so I woke up Enya and Raine, together we all walked carefully around Enya's room trying to find out where the noise had come from, when as I looked up at the attic window I noticed two yellow eyes staring back at me"

I stopped for a breath before carrying on.

"Enya, being the bravest of us all, walked over to the window and opened it, apparently she knew what it was, three large barn owls all swooped in, and one landed in front of each of us. We took the letters out of their beaks and read them. What they said was that were, well, were witches and the never knew before because they never realised that we had an y magical abilities. They want us to go a school called Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, to study magic there. We all said yes and sent our answers back with the owls. The letters also said that a guide was going to be sent to Enya's house tomorrow at eleven o'clock in the morning to take us for our school supplies. So Enya said that we could all sleepover again tonight to make it easier. So what we want to know is are all of you witches and wizards too?"

Once I had finished, I looked around at all of our parents and waited patiently for one of them to talk, finally, my dad spoke up.

"No, I'm afraid not, we are all what people in the magic world would call Muggles, so you three are all Muggle born. We are all made up for you three, and you have our permission to go to Hogwarts. You can also stay over again here tonight if its all right with Enya's mum"

Broad grins spread over our faces as we all looked over to Enya's mum for the answer.

"Of course you can all stay here tonight, just promise us that you will all be careful with this guide tomorrow, and when you go to Hogwarts that you will all look out for each other"

"We promise!" we all shouted at once and went over to hug our parents and to thank them.

A/N: That's the end of chapter three, chapter four should be up sometime tomorrow! Hope you all like this chapter! Please, please review and no flames! Thanks!

Bye for now
