Hermione woke up to find that Rachel was sitting in her four-poster writing, "Whatcha writing?" Hermione asked.
"Oh just my story," Rachel replied scratching something down on a piece of notebook paper.
"Story, what kind of story?" Hermione asked getting out of bed to look over at what Rachel was writing.
"Then story that I'm writing with my friend Katy in H-town," Rachel answered.
"H-town?" Hermione looked puzzled.
"Houston. That's what we Houstonians call Houston." Rachel giggled. Just then as beautiful golden barn owl flew in the window with a parcel on its leg. "Hey Asher. Thanks I appreciate it." Rachel patted the owl on the head as she relinquished the parcel. "Oh, good. It's something from Katy. Hold on Asher let me give you my reply." She took out a piece of notebook paper. Wrote something down and tied it on the owl's leg. She then pulled out her wand and tapped her hand where a treat appeared she handed it to the owl that took it generously and then it flew out the window. Hermione was so amazed that Rachel didn't have to say anything.
"Do you want to go down and eat breakfast?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah hold on." Rachel opened her parcel on her bed. Out popped a snow globe with the state of Texas in it. The next thing that popped out was a bag of candy that said something on it that Hermione couldn't see. "Katy knows I love my candy." Rachel said as another bag of the same sort of candy.
"So whose owl was that?" Hermione asked.
"That was Katy's owl, Asher. She always sands me stuff," Rachel said smiling.
"Do you send stuff back?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah but I haven't gotten to go to Hogsmead. and get her anything," Rachel answered. As she finished another owl flew in, this one was a dark brown horned owl. "Oh Erin…" Rachel said as she opened the letter on its leg. "Dear Ray," Rachel read allowed more to herself than to Hermione. "I send you my love for ya, and I'm so sorry that I couldn't send you off on your flight. Right now its probably mid morning. Max is so crazy without you here. He said that you haven't been answering your cell. He told me he was gonna write to you. Jane will be there soon." At this a snowy owl flew through the open window that looked a lot like Hedwig. "Oh hello Jane," Rachel said patting the owl on the head. "Yer mom and dad want to talk to ya so you need to call. We all send our love over the sea and through all of England heart Erin," Rachel finished. "Thank you Neil." Rachel patted the horned owl on the head and gave it a treat as it flew out the window.
"You sure do have a lot of people who miss you," Hermione said.
"Yeah they all love me," Rachel replied.
"So not to pry or anything but who is this Max fellow?" Hermione asked.
"Oh that's okay. Max is my boyfriend back home in H-town. And this is his owl Jane," she answered. Holding out her hand so the snowy owl could perch on it. "Thank you Jane," She said holding out a treat as she grabbed the note from the owl's leg. Rachel opened it and read it to herself with an occasional "Oh-Oh." Or a giggle. "Let's go down for breakfast now," Rachel requested.
"Yeah let's get Harry and Ron and then go down to the Great Hall." Hermione suggested. She walked out the door and stopped, noticing that Rachel wasn't behind her. She turned to see Rachel sitting on the bed with a snowy owl on her shoulder. "I thought that Jane had already left."
Rachel looked up, "Oh she did this is my owl Xavier. He is Jane's brother." Hermione realized there was a note in Rachel's lap. "This just came with Xavier. It's from my parents and I'm," she paused "I'm afraid to open it."
"Well do you want me to open it for you? I mean I love getting owls from my parents," Hermione said.
"No that's alright." Rachel got up and walked over to her trunk. Hermione still hadn't realized that Rachel had her pajamas on. Rachel tapped the trunk with the tip of her wand and it opened, a billowing black robe with the Gryffindor insignia on it wrapped itself around her. After all movement had ceased Rachel was wearing the black robe. She quickly shoved her wand and her parents note in a pocket and walked up to Hermione saying, "Let's go then shall we?" But they had yet to take a step when they heard a loud hoot. "Oh, Xavier please forgive me," she said turning and producing a rather large treat out of her pocket. "The owlery is up that way," she pointed upward. As she turned away the owl hooted again. "What Xavier?" she asked. There was a moment pause as what Hermione could think was that the owl in some way was talking to Rachel.
"What did he say?" Hermione asked quietly walking up behind the American.
"He told me that I had to read the note or he would pester me all day about it," she said taking the note from her pocket. She opened it and read it quietly then she burst out laughing.
"What is it?" Hermione asked surprised. "Are you okay?" she asked when Rachel had not stopped laughing.
"I'm…. Fine," Rachel said between burst of laughter. "It's just that the note says that my twin brother Alaster is here and he will be joining me as a Gryffindor." Rachel laughed again.
"Why is that so funny?" Hermione asked confused.
"Well one my brother was all into being kissed by a dementor before he stepped into Hogwarts' halls, and two he said he would have to die before he let anyone take him out of Texas and if he did die then he would haunt the person who took his body out of Texas borders," Rachel laughed. "I don't think he is serious about it but you know it's kind of funny."
"Well let's go see. If he's here then well he's either dead or soulless," Hermione joked. Rachel just laughed.
"Right let's go then," She said once she got herself under control. She walked out of the girls dorms and down the stairs. Hermione was right behind her. Hermione was barely out the door when she heard Rachel gasp.
