Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (And Us)
Prologue
A letter! It was an odd letter, old fashioned with a real wax seal. The paper was think and slightly yellowed. It was addressed to her, "Kei Fujimi, The Second Upstairs Bedroom, 24 Buckingham Dive, Chislehurst, London". There was no postal mark, which meant one of her friends must have just slipped it in the postbox. Maybe it was an invitation to a theme party, she thought.
She took a moment to play with the wax on the envelope. The seal had been in the shape of an "H". As the letter unfolded she thought briefly of who had a first or last name that began with that letter. Though in reality, the letter had come from a man with the initials "A.D."
Minako Evans had been eagerly waiting for her letter for weeks. She knew it was coming. It had to be. She had been accidentally doing magic for more than a year now. She tore into the parchment, without giving a second thought to the wax seal. Quickly scanning the notice, a smile as wide as an ocean crossed her face.
"What is it?", her younger brother asked gruffly. "Did you just find out you were adopted?" Minako turned, and though it seemed impossible, her smile grew. "Even better. I get to go shopping in London."
As for Leon Farrel, he had not expected the letter, but was not surprised when it arrived anyway. His father had been a wizard, and his older sister was a witch. But he'd always hoped he would turn out like his mother. She was a simple woman, a 'muggle' as her sister would say. Leon had toyed with the idea of being a chef. He liked cooking, and enjoyed eating even more. So much for that idea...
