A Hogwarts Transfer
Chapter 1: A Mysterious Letter
Brooke Stevens was lying on her bed staring up at the fan twirling round and round in the middle of her violet painted ceiling. She was inside her house at Number 20 Mission Drive where she lived with her parents, Sam Stevens and Mary Stevens. Brooke was pretty much your average thirteen year old wizard. She attended an all girls' school called Vadino's School of Witchcraft every year and was a fairly good student. Her mother was a witch and had attended the same school her daughter was attending now. Brooke's father was a muggle that worked at a bank and he was pretty surprised when he learned that his wife and daughter were witches. Anyways back to Brooke. Brooke may have been a pretty ordinary witch based on her skills, but she wasn't very ordinary looking in appearance. In other words, she was stunning. She had amazing blue eyes that always revealed her emotions if you stared at her long enough and her hair consisted of natural light blonde highlights making her medium length blonde hair appear very lovely. Her hair was always combed and usually she left it down, but occasionally she put it in a pony tail. Brooke's skin was very fair with no freckles or blemishes in sight and her smile… her smile was absolutely perfect. She never had braces because she had inherited her mother's perfect teeth. However, Brooke was pretty much oblivious to the fact that she was so beautiful because she had been going to an all girls' school for the past two years. Her parent's knew she was way above average on the appearance scale, but they had never told their daughter how truly stunning she was because they didn't want her to get a big head.
Brooke looks over at the clock on her bedside table. 12:07. It's probably about time for lunch, she thinks to herself. So she gets off her bed and walks down the stairs into the kitchen. Her mother is no where in sight, but a peanut butter and jelly sandwich was sitting in front of Brooke's normal seat. I guess mom and dad left again without telling me. Oh well. She eats her lunch and is about to head upstairs when she hears a tapping sound on the window in the kitchen. She turns around, figuring that it is her owl Haemon coming back from his night of hunting. To her surprise, there was a quite different owl sitting on the window ledge. This owl was smaller then Haemon and was brown not white. She curiously goes over to the window and opens the latch. The new owl flies in and lands on her arm with an important looking letter attached to its' leg. Interested, Brooke takes off the letter and as soon as she does the owl flies away. She takes a look at the letter and finds that it is addressed to herself. It reads:

Hogwarts? Why did I get a letter from Hogwarts? I go to Vadino's…I've heard it's really rare to transfer schools, so why would they want me to? I have heard good things about Hogwarts…but what will mum say? She was so happy when I was accepted into the same school as her. Brooke had these thoughts racing through her head when suddenly her mum and dad came into the kitchen.
Mrs. Stevens said, "Good afternoon dear! We ate lunch a tad early and we didn't want to bother you incase you were working. You have been working on all your summer assignments for Vadino's haven't you? You know how much work they give to keep you on your toes!"
Mr. Stevens countered, "Oh Mary, you know Brooke likes to procrastinate some! It's summer give her a break!"
"I'm just trying to make sure she does all her work. I only want what's best for her."
Brooke replied, "Well… um I don't think I'll be going to Vadino's this year."
Mrs. Stevens (very taken aback) retorted, "What! I beg your pardon young lady, but you know the rules of this…"
"Mum I know the rules! It's just that I got this letter saying I had been accepted into Hogwarts! They don't make mistakes on these kinds of things and well… seeing as how everyone always thinks Hogwarts is the best wizarding school I thought it would be really cool to transfer there.."
Mr. Stevens (quite confused) intercepts, "Hogwarts? What is Hogwarts Mary? Another witch school thing I don't know about?"
Mrs. Stevens sighs, "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to be exact dear. It is the most prominent school for young witches and wizards and it looks like Brooke will have to be going there now. Albus never makes a mistake picking his pupils."
"Who is Albus?"
"Sam, he is the headmaster at Hogwarts."
"Oh… of course."
"So does this mean I'm going to Hogwarts?" asks Brooke.
Mrs. Stevens replies, "Yes… I guess this means you are going to Hogwarts… I suppose I'll take you down to Diagon Alley tomorrow to pick up your school supplies."
"Great!"
