Introduction
It was very early one morning, in San Diego, California. Skylar Matthews woke at the sound of an owl pecking at the window.
"Mmmmm." She groaned sleepily. She pulled herself out of bed and walked over to the window. She didn't know this owl so she guessed it was a school owl giving her the list of supplies she would need for the coming school year. She ripped the envelope open and pulled out the piece of parchment. It read:
Dear Miss Matthews,
We regret to inform you that our beloved school, Arrowhead Academy of Magic, has been closed.
You will be reassigned to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
*Is this some kind of joke?* She thought.
You should be getting your list of supplies any day now.
Best wishes to you at your new school.
Shauna Flammer
Headmistress of Arrowhead Academy of Magic.
She stared down at the paper blankly.
*Hogwarts? Isn't that in England?*
Just then two more owls came flying into the room.
One she recognized as her best friend, Sara's. The other one she didn't know. She thought she'd opened the letter from her friend first.
She looked down at the red envelope. It was a howler. She laughed a little. Howlers were Sara's favorite way of communication. She opened it.
"YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK, YOU SUCK, YOU SUCK!
THE SCHOOL IS CLOSED AND I AM FULLY PREPARED TO BLAME YOU!
WE MIGHT BE SEPERATED NOW! WHAT SCHOOL ARE YOU GOING TO?
DURMSTRANG FOR ME!"
Skylars heart sank. She and her best friend in the whole world were going to different schools.
She sat down on her bed, and grabbed some parchment and a quill.
"Hogwarts," was all she wrote.
