The next day, Jennie Brewston washed and got dressed again; this time in a tank top and a pair of jeans. She went downstairs and had breakfast like the day before, and went out to get the mail (Her brother and she shared the chore; in a every other day pattern). She looked through the mail (there was like 15; 12 letters of all sorts, and 3 bills), when she saw one of the letters addressed to her plainly, but accurately. It said:

Ms. J. Brewston

Far Right Bedroom on 2nd Floor

13 Cottonwood Road

Meadow Acres

Bristol

"Huh? What could this be?" Jennie wondered. She turned the envelope around and saw the emblem of Hogwarts. She screamed in excitement and ran into the house yelling for her mum.

"What is it dear? Such awful behavior! Tut, tut. What am I going to do with you? Now this better be good." Mrs. Brewston rattled.

"Well mum, why don't you send me to school then?" Jennie grinned hiding the envelope behind her back.

"Why you'll have to be accepted to-" Mrs. Brewston started but when Jennie awkwardly pushed the letter into her hand, she turned it around to see the waxed emblem. She screamed with joy and the woman and girl danced and jigged around.

But Mrs. Brewston abruptly stopped and said "We mustn't get too excited. We haven't even opened the envelope yet for goodness sake's"

Jennie stared at the envelope while Mrs. Brewston broke the wax carefully. She took out two slips of paper from the envelope and unfolded the first one. It said:

Mrs. Brewston and Jennie looked at each other and whooped up into the air screaming.

"Thank god your father isn't here from work yet and Hugo is at his friend's home!" Mrs. Brewston gulped, panting. Jennie nodded in agreement. They unfolded the second sheet of paper to find the list of items that Jennie needed:
