Chapter 5:
I decided to go. There was no point in staying. It would mean leaving Michelle. But Michelle told me to go. She knew I wasn't meant to be kept in one place for long. And she knew that if I didn't go, I would be missing out on my only chance to leave. Since no one would adopt me.
I pretended that going to this Hogwarts school would be like being adopted. Only I come back for summer break, which isn't so bad. I was wondering what this school would be like, there wasn't any brocure or pamplet about the school. They just said that I was accepted.
oh my goodness
I didn't even see the letter attached! This must where they explain how this school works. But, like usual, i was wrong, it was the supply list.
To be prepared for your year at Hogwarts, please buy these supplies:
One feather quill
Assorted Inks
Parchment
Beakers and Graduated Cylinders (about 5)
and the following Books
The Standard Book of Grammer year one
by Melissa J. Winkeins
Science Extreme
Joshua L. Farbet
Looking forward to see you in September!
This list looked quite normal. The books wern't those which I was familiar too, but that was ok. The only thing that striked me was the quill and the parchment. Couldn't the school use bloody pens and paper? Well, I'd better consult to the mistress and find out where in the world I could purchase any of these things.
On my way down I was stopped by Pernilla. "Well, I heard what that letter was about."
Ok, that's great Pernilla , just get out of my way. "Oh, yeah, that."
"So are you going to go?" She inquisited.
"...yes, i decided I should try it, it could be a very good oppertunity." I replyed cooly.
She started laughing. It wasn't a pleasant laugh, it was more like a shrill, it shrieked, it cooed, it sent chills down my back. We were pretty much alone by the stairs, it was empty, and the laugh echoed around the orphanage. No it wasn't a pleasant experience, but Pernilla was not a pleasant girl.
