Chapter 2 – Good News.

"Violet!" came the call from downstairs.

"Ugh," groaned Violet Rhiannon Riddle, taking her head of her soft pillow slowly and rubbing her head.

What was it now? She wondered. She looked out the window through her silk lily white curtains. The sun was just beginning the peek through the horizon. Just then another call for her came up through her open doorway.

"I'm coming mum!" she shouted groggily as she put her slippers on her feet. She went across the room and got her bathrobe putting it around her slowly as she started for her door. On reaching the solid oak staircase she put a hand on the rail. It felt warm. She began to go down the stairs and headed for the kitchen, knowing her mother would be there. The whiteness of the tiles dazzled her tired eyes.

"Yes?" she inquired looking at her mother.

"You've received mail," said her mother smiling.

"Mail?" she asked. Witch Weekly Teen only came once every fortnight. Who else could be writing to her?

She took the yellow parchment envelope her mother handed her.

Violet Riddle

#80 Briar Lane

Edinburgh, England.

She gave a small gasp.

"Hogwarts!" she asked her mother excitedly.

"Open it and see," smiled her mother.

She turned the envelope around and ripped it open hurriedly:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock, Supreme
Mugwump, and International Confederacy of Wizards)

Dear Miss Riddle,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all
necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31st.

Also be informed that this year we have started a new system. We will be allowing all pureblood families (like yourself) to take a muggleborn to Diagon Alley to buy their school supplies. We not only see this as a major step in achieving muggle/wizard peace but also as a hands on for all muggleborns coming to Hogwarts to get a little taste of the Wizarding World before they arrive.

You will be informed of who you will be taking and what date a week from your letter of acceptance.

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

She handed the letter to her mother as she skimmed through it quickly.

"Carry a muggleborn? Shouldn't be too bad, eh?" she asked, smiling at Violet.

"Nope," said Violet beaming. She had been accepted at Hogwarts! She could hardly wait. Just then someone came through the kitchen door. It was Paris Riddle, Violet's father. He was tall and built. Violet resembled him a great deal. Her nose, arched eyebrows and her lips. But her eyes, she had gotten from her mother. A deep purple.

"Vi? Up this early? Am I dreaming?" he joked.

She rolled her eyes pretending to be annoyed and then laughed as she walked over to hug him and kissed him on his cheek, "Morning daddy."

"Good morning, honey. Diana, I suppose she got her Hogwarts letter?" asked Paris referring to Violet's mother.

"Yes she has," she said, returning the kiss on the cheek Paris gave her as he sat down at the breakfast table. "Ok, Vi, you can go upstairs and change and come back down for breakfast. I doubt you want to go back to sleep. And I'll write your acceptance letter to Hogwarts and send it off with Bernard –" started Diana, referring to Violet's owl.

"Not Bernard! I wanted to send a letter to Reese telling her I got accepted…" she argued.

"Fine, fine. I'll use Cecelia."

"Ok, well be back soon," she said as she turned going back up the stairs. By now sun was flooding into the main entrance hall where the oak stairs were. The pure silk curtains didn't help the keep the sun out as they seemed to float as a light breeze blew.

As she walked into her room she whistled softly as her tawny owl, Bernard, flew to her as she sat at her desk, brushing her blonde-brown hair behind her left ear and getting the ink bottle and a peacock quill her father had given her the Christmas before. She wrote:

Dear Reese,

I got accepted to go to Hogwarts! I hope you did too. This is going to be so much fun! Can't wait for your reply and I really, really hope you got accepted too. Talk soon,

Violet

She folded the letter and placed it into Bernard's beak.

"That's for Reese, boy," she whispered into his ear. He hooted to show he understood and nibbled her nose before he set off. She watched out the window as he flew off into the slight mist and sighed. She was barely a month off from Hogwarts. She couldn't wait! Before she went downstairs another thought came into her mind… who was the mugglenborn she would be taking?
