Prelude- Family Ties
It all starts with a letter. The letter that comes and tells you, that you are a part of something greater.
'Dear Ms. Sayre,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find the enclosed list of all necessary books and supplies. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl no later than July 31. '
Ophelia read her letter with a smile on her face as her black owl cooed as she strokes its feathers.
"What is that dear," her mother asked as she walked into the kitchen.
"My letter mum," Ophelia said and handed it to her "I'm so excited."
"Oh marvelous my love, John! Ophelia got her letter!" she called to her husband.
"Well done darling! Oh Noelia, it's so exciting," John said as he hurried across the living room to the kitchen "Of course not a surprise, but still all exciting."
"Shopping trip is in order I believe," Noelia said as she smiled at Ophelia.
"Dear we have to leave for Egypt for a few weeks remember?" John said as Ophelia tried to not let her smile falter.
"Oh my, right you are. My love, you wouldn't mind going with your aunt, would you?" Noelia said as she stroked Ophelia cheek, "I am so sorry my love."
"It's alright mum; you guys have to go on that trip." Ophelia smiled "I get to see Aunty Juliana, I will be fine."
"I will make sure she spares no expense." Noelia said "I will tell Damien when we see him."
Ophelia waited till her parents left the kitchen and a house elf appear, with some cold tea for her.
"Thank you, Millie," Ophelia said as she took the cup and went to take a sip.
"Anything for you Mistress," Millie said "Would you like anything else?"
"No thank you," Ophelia replied as she looked at her letter with a little less excitement, now.
