Chapter 2

She ran all the way to the mall. It was only 1 block away. And looked inside.

"Wow." she whispered softly to herself. She walked in, and looked for a shop.

"Hmmm..."she said, scanning the map by the entrance,"Maybe PacSun will have some."

As she was walking to PacSun, she saw a couple snogging. "Get a room." she thought. She kept walking for about 30 more seconds before she accidentally bumped into a short girl. She had brown, curly hair, and big, brown eyes.

"Oops. I'm sorry."she said to the girl.

"It's alright. I'm Hermione Granger." she said sticking out her hand. Amber shook hands with Hermione.

"I'm Amber. Amber.."she said, struggling to think of a last name."Amber Vixen."

"Pleasure. Would you like to come with me? I'm on my way to PacSun to find a new bathing suit." said Hermione

"I was on my way there too! Sure, let's go." said Amber.

They arrived at PacSun, and went straight to the bathing suits. Amber saw about 50 of them that she liked. She took 5 at a time, trying on each, and showing Hermione. She bought two. One was a dark, emerald green one, and the other was a light baby blue with white stripes. Hermione got a navy blue one, and a pink one. They then started to talk about where each other lived. Amber told her that she is an orphan living on her own. Hermione said that it was horrible, but Amber reassured her, it was the great life.

About five minutes later, Hermione thought she saw a sort of wand sticking out of Amber shirt, and Amber quickly fixed it. Hermione gasped and said "You have one too? So do I!" Amber gasped. She told Hermione that she never got to go to Hogwarts, and Hermione told Amber how it was like.

"Maybe you could come to Hogwarts this year." Hermione said low and soft so that only they could hear the conversation.

"Yeah. Maybe I could get sorted into Gryffindor! But I doubt it. I'm a pureblood. And it sucks, I'll tell you that." Amber said. Hermione then check her watch.

"Oh, damn. It's 2:30. I'm sorry! I have to go!" Hermione said.

"Oh it's okay. My house is a block away. I'll come with." Amber said. They both walked until they reached Amber's house. Making sure no one was around them, Hermione and Amber both flicked their wands, and exchanged addresses, and phone numbers. Amber walked to the door.

"I'll call you at about 3? Maybe we could go to the pool together!" said Amber.

"Yeah! Coolness. See ya later!" said Hermionw, and with that, sprinted down the street. Amber walked in the house and threw down the heavy bags she was carrying from all the shopping.

Thirty minutes later

"Hullo?"

"Hi, is Hermione there?

"Yes, just one moment."

Amber was calling Hermione. Seeing as it was 3:00.

"Hullo?"

"Hey, 'Mione, it's Amber."

"Oh hey Amber, what's up?"

"Nothing too much. Do you want to go to Diagon Alley, or the pool?"

Tap, tap, tap. An owl was waiting at the window closest to her. Amber opened the window, and took the letter, and watched the owl fly away.

"Hm. Let's go to the pool. We have to work on your tan." Hermione said.

"Ok. But wait a moment. I have a letter." said Amber.

Amber opened the letter. It read:

Dear Ms. Riddle,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Note that while you are here at Hogwarts, you will use the last name 'Vixen' and not 'Riddle'. Enclosed you will find your needed school equipment on the next sheet of parchmeet. Please send an answer back by Seotember 1. We await your owl.

Signed,

Minerva McGonnagall

Minerva McGonnagall

Deputy Headmistress

Amber squealed, and jumped around. Then Hermione aske her why she was so jumpy.

"My Hogwarts letter came!" said Amber.

"Okay, Amber. Calm down. Calm down. We could go to Diagon Alley first, and then go to the pool. My parents could take us." said 'Mione.

"Okay. Coolness! But first let me send an owl, and get ready. So I'll call you when I'm done. Mmk? Bye."

"'Bye." 'Mione and Amber hung up the phone. Amber quickly scribbled a yes, and whisteled for an owl. It came. She tied the parchment to the owl's leg and watched it till it was just a small dot in the sky.

So. How's chapter two? Please R&R!
