A/N: I just wanted to apologize again for the issues that I had with the last chapter. If you read it as it was before I managed to get it bold, I didn't change much, just some minor words, and so here's the next chapter! I hope you like it!

            Do you remember Laurali? She's back!

I think that I'm done with the direct OotP quotes, so lets see how we do with the formatting! ~Lauren

*~~~ Chapter 6. Over Chocolate Cake~~~*

            "He said okay!" on overly excited girl screams.

            "My Dad! He said that it would be okay if I owled Professor Dumbledore!"-pause- "DANIELLE! You can be so slow!" She yells again, murmuring she says, "And I thought I was the slow one."

            Laurali, who was apparently (A/N:I SPELLED IT WRONG AGAIN LISA! LOL thank goodness for spell check!) on a telephone, was talking to her best friend Danielle.

            "Don't remind me about raisins!" (A/N: Inside joke, sorry!) the young teen says during outbreaks of laughter.

            "Anyways, back to what I was talking about, I might be able to go to Hogwarts!

            "Well, I have to owl the headmaster Professor Dumbledore. -- YES, he was the dude who defeated Grindywald or some dark person like that.  Well, I got a letter from the school when I was eleven. - Well maybe that's because you're not special enough. Yeah, so I got a letter then, but I want to leave Salem. You know how I've always wanted to go to England, Scotland, Ireland, wherever it is. And this may be my chance! I'm sending an owl tomorrow. Why then? Because I haven't figured out the time difference yet, if there is one. I wouldn't want to wake him up or anything.

"Anyways, so I heard…"

        Dear Headmaster Dumbledore,

My name is Laurali Richardson. I am a 15-year-old Muggle-born American witch.  I was accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when I was 11. I previously have been attending the Salem Witch Institute in Salem, Massachusetts, and I decided that it was time for a change.

            I wish to attend Hogwarts in the next new school year. If this were at all possible, you would have made me one of the happiest girls ever!

                                                                                                            Sincerely,

Laurali Richardson

            "How could he have not told me? Screw all of his 'I cared for you' bullshit!" Harry was yelling at no one. Well that's what he thought. His bedroom mirror decided to tell him to stop screaming, as he could wake all of Europe.

            "Aye! Young man!" said Larry the mirror. The boys have named all of the objects in their room back in their first year when they were extremely bored.

            "Didn't know that your mirror could talk to you, did you?' Larry says to Harry, as Harry's mouth was open in shock. Not once in all of his years at Hogwarts did anyone tell him his mirror could yell at him.

            "Well, just to let you know, you're giving me a headache!"

"BLADDY BLAH! BLAH BLAH BLAH!  THIS IS THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDS! YES IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS! SOME PEOPLE, STARTED SINGING IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS AND THEY'LL KEEP SINGING IT FOREVER. JUST BECAUSE THIS IS THE SONG…"Harry yelled (A/N: Do any of you remember Lamb Chops Play Along? That's where it's from.)

"Yelling at no one (or so you thought,) won't help you at all! So do what other boys do when they're as angry as you." Larry said as Harry stopped to get a breath.

            "Yeah and what would that be? Go cry to their mommies?" Harry snapped.

"NO. Shutting up is first, and then go flying!" The mirror said, rather forcefully, if you ask me.

"Whatever" Harry says while grabbing his cloak and turning out the door.

An old man, with blue eyes and long white hair sighed, while putting his face in his hands."

            "I feel awful Fawkes." He says to a great red and golden bird. "Now he's singing the Lamb Chops Play along song! But, I'll just get some hot chocolate." He said before looking down at this desk and seeing a white, Muggle envelope.

            "Yes Miss Richardson…uh huh…" He says while reading the contents of the letter.

"Fawkes, how would you feel about having an American witch come join our students?" He asks his bird wisely. Some would say he's crazy, but in reality, he's extremely intelligent, and trusts the bird with all his life. Who, at the moment was nodding his head.

            "I think so too. Alright Miss Richardson…"

            Laurali was lying on her bed, with her feet hanging off the side. She was reading her favorite Muggle magazine, "Seventeen" while listening to music. She loved listening to all of her ol' school cds as much as her new cds.

            Her "Soul for Real: Candy Rain" cd was currently playing "If you want it".

If you want it

You can have it

Came and get it

And ill be waiting (2x)

In all my days,

I never met anybody like you

who makes me feel so good

And I'm telling you with all my will

So if you want it come and get it

Its for real

~ ~ ~ ~

            "Hello. Would you want some chocolate cake?" Someone says.

"Yeah! Thanks Mamaduke." Laurali says, while taking a plate full of chocolate cake.

            "So Laurali, an owl showed up like 10 minutes ago-"

            "An owl, nice. Wait! An OWL!? Wicked COOL! Lemme guess, it had a letter!" She guesses.

            "Yeah. It scared the crap out of me. Anyways, its still here, I think it's on the back porch drinking water out of the dogs' dish." Samantha says.

(A/n: Do you remember in Ch. 2 that we decided to call her Mom Samantha? Well, I just reminded you.)

"Where is the letter?" Laurali says while jumping out of her chair with a mouth full of cake.

"It's next to the stove. So where did this owl come from?"

"I can't believe you put it next to the stove! It could catch fire! Or someone could spill something on it!" the young teen exclaims while walking to the stove.

"It would have come from Europe. The witches and wizards use owls as their way of sending letters and what not. They don't here because this is America and there aren't as many Wizarding towns. So I guess that the first magical people here would just use the Muggle post –mail boxes and mailmen instead of owls.  Well that's what I thought Mrs. Mirada had said, I dunno." Mrs. Mirada was Laurali's history teacher at Salem. She taught both Muggle history and Wizardry history.

"I got a letter-" Laurali sang; now she was on a sugar rush and getting a letter from Europe was exciting as well. "From Professor Dumbledore! Listen to this Mama!

"Dear Miss Richardson,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

 "I GOT IN! YAY!! I GOT ACCEPTED!" Laurali broke off singing, before continuing. "Oh, wait, there's more, listen:

 "You will find an enclosed list of all of your necessary clothing and equipment. In order to know what books you will need for the upcoming year, you will need to take a harmless little placement exam.  Please arrange to be at Diagon Alley for August 1st, at 2 pm. Please be at the Leaky Cauldron.   There I will meet with you and we will test your abilities. I would strongly suggest that you use Floo Powder, I am sure that you can find some in Salem.

            The first term begins on September 1st. If you have any questions, please ask them in August.

                                                                                                Yours Sincerely,

                                                                                                Albus Dumbledore,

                                                                                                Headmaster of Hogwarts "

She finished reading the letter aloud to her mother and read it again to herself silently.

"I'm going to Hogwarts! I'm going to Hogwarts!" Laurali sang while dancing around her kitchen in pajamas.

            "That's great honey, now go pack for the beach. We're leaving for Newport, Rhode Island tomorrow morning at 9 am." Samantha says.

            "Yeah sure Mama! I'm going to Hogwarts! I'm going to the Beach!" Laurali sang as going up the stairs.

Laurali was so excited that she didn't notice the tears form up in her mothers' eyes.

            " I'm losing my baby." Samantha cries to herself before putting the dishes in the dishwasher and heading upstairs after Laurali.

A/N: Oh no! Samantha's upset Laurali's going to Hogwarts, we'll see everything in Newport goes next.

Do you guys remember the Lamb chop song? HAHA. My brother kept singing it like a week or two ago so I decided to use it.  

Did you like the mirror thing?  I thought it added a nice little touch. Someone had to tell Harry to calm down. Anyways.

What's with Harry? How does Dumbledore know everything going on?

If you're wondering why I chose Newport RI as her vacationing place, that's because that's where I always go.  I've lived in Central Mass my entire life and I've never been to Cape Cod. I've always gone to Jamestown/Newport RI.

            I'm sure you're all wondering who Soul 4 Real is.  They're an R&B, soul boy group from early 1990's.   I've been in love with "Candy Rain" for the last year and a half. Their CD's aren't made anymore *sniffles* but that's okay.

I'll try to post the next chapter within in the next week. I think my teachers won't be so harsh anymore… well let's hope.

REMEMBER TO REVIEW! Negative, positive. I want to hear it all!!

Luv u all, ~Lauren
