A/N: Sorry I didn't get this out yesterday, like I wanted to, it was Father's Day so I wanted to take a break to spend time with my dad. Thank you so much to Tabithatibi for the kind reviews! Everyone else, please tell me what you think!
I opened my eyes and squinted through the sunlight pouring through my window. Staring around, I observed my surroundings. I was in a medium sized bedroom, lying on a twin sized bed. The other furniture in the room included a large dresser, a bedside table, a desk, and a bookshelf. The walls were a light blue color, and the room's decor are covered in different shades of blue and purple. Not bad.
I looked down at my hands- they are definitely smaller than I remember them being. I slowly crawled out of bed and walked towards a large mirror that was hanging above the dresser. I took in my appearance- I was exactly how I had pictured I would look, but shorter than I was and my head was a giant mess of bed hair. Yay, it worked!
I stretched and let out a big yawn, before starting to get changed. I dressed myself in a simple tee shirt and jeans. Well, can't spend too much time simply getting dressed, can I? I'm probably one of the only girls who thinks that... I fixed my hair into a makeshift bun-wrap-thingy. Very descriptive, daydream self. Now, can we please move on?
I walked out of the room, holding my IPhone, ear-buds dangling down. I hope Statues from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part two was playing... I'm listening to it right now, it's such a cool tune! And music helps me with daydreaming :) I walked down the stairs (Yay a two story home!) and into the kitchen, where my mum was making breakfast.
"How many pancakes?" She asked me.
Its a daydream... I can do what I want! "I'll take... fifteen," I said. (Inward smirk!)
She didn't even question me... she just set a late piled high with pancakey-goodness in front of me. Then she went to wake my dad up.
"Thanks, mum," I called after her. At least my family is the same... Imagine what would happen if I had to adjust to a whole new family! (Inward shudder)
I dug in. It seemed like a normal day. It wasn't until I was taking a giant gulp of orange juice that something strange happened. SPIT-TAKE! I jumped out of my chair in fright as something large and feathery started to knock loudly on the window. I peered at it. I instantly recognized it as an owl from all the books I had read about them. Owls are so fascinating! It was holding something out to me... It looked like it was made of paper of some sort, but I couldn't see what it was. I cautiously stepped forward and, opening the window, took it. The owl gave me a short nod and retreated a few steps, waiting. I looked down and saw that it was a letter.
Ms. B. Summers
The second bedroom upstairs
9 Huckleberry Drive
Camden Town
London
I blinked in surprise. How did they know where I sleep? And how did they get the owl to deliver the letter to me? Curious, I carefully ripped it open and began to read.
HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY
Headmaster: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump (snicker), International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Ms. Summers,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
I rubbed my eyes and read it again. Witchcraft? Wizardry? Can't imagine why... Numbly, I shuffled through the drawers for a sheet of paper and a pen. I quickly scribbled a note- it was all I could manage, I was feeling such shock.
Dear Professor,
Ummm... okay?
Breeze Summers
Woooow. Really? "Umm, okay?" That was the BEST I could do? Honestly, this is a daydream...
With a sigh, I sent the letter off. #sigh! And no, I'm not THAT type of person...
Later on, there was a knock on the door.
"Breeze, can you see who it is?" My mum called from the other room. So, I slid off of the couch and walked over to the door. Peering through the peephole, I saw an... eccentric... man. Is that the right word? He was wearing long, blue robes, he had long, white hair and a long, white beard, half moon shaped spectacles, and blue eyes. I stood staring for a while, before my mum's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Well? Who is it?" she called.
"Some dude wow, Dumbles can probably hear that! dressed in robes and a long white beard..." I said, not taking my eyes off of him.
"What?" Came a sharp voice behind me, as my mum came rushing into the room. She pushed past me and wrenched the door open.
"Good evening, Mrs. Summers, I presume?" The man said, beaming, a twinkle in his eyes.
"W-W-Who are you?" She stuttered, in shock at the man's eccentric appearance.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Professor Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am here to speak about your daughter's enrollment in my school," he explained.
"Oh," she said with a sigh of relief. "You're the one they mentioned in the letter."
"Indeed."
"Please, come in."
I just stood back and watched this exchange in awe. Awe? Really? It's just a guy with a beard! Sarcasm :D As Dumbledore passed me, he winked and I heard him murmur, "Nice response to the letter, Ms. Summers." Blushing furiously, I followed them into the sitting room. Taking a seat in an armchair by the fireplace, Dumbledore began to speak.
"I understand that all this about a magic school may be a little confusing-" A little? "-so I will explain. I normally have to explain to the muggleborns."
"Muggleborn?" I asked in confusion.
"A witch or wizard born to muggles, or non-magical people," He answered.
"Oh," I mumbled and let him continue.
He started to explain everything- about magic, the school, getting my school supplies. I listened and watched as he demonstrated magic and told me of what I will be able to do once I finish my magical education. By the time Dumbledore wished us a good evening and left, I was positively overflowing with excitement. Hogwarts, here I come!
