Chapter 2 - a letter arrives

Sophie woke up bright and early the next day. why have I woken up so early oh yes my book no that wasn't it I swear I heard and owl hooting in here. Sophie looked up and sure enough there was an owl a lovely tawny owl and it had a letter tied to its leg. As soon as the owl saw she was awake it came down and perched itself on her bedstead. Sophie was in complete shock she didn't know what to do. The owl suddenly as if sensing her confusion held out its leg with the letter tied to it.

"oh do you want me to take the letter from you?" the owl gave a soft hoot Sophie supposed this meant yes and she slowly removed the letter from the owls leg the letter was very heavy. "there's a lot in this letter isn't there" Sophie said to the owl though she doubted very much that the owl could actually understand her. She turned the letter around and suddenly she dropped it as if the letter was a bomb that could explode any moment. There right on the back of the envelope was the Hogwarts crest she recognized it at once as there were picture of it near the front of her Harry Potter book.

"oh my gosh I don't understand how can I have this it makes absolutely no sense".

"don't you understand it"

Sophie jumped about a foot in the air hen she heard this she looked to her door and there in her doorway was the great wizard Albus Dumbledore.

"ahhhhhhhhhh" she screamed "how on earth did u get in here? Why do I have a Hogwarts letter?"

One question at a time please miss Henton and how did you know that the letter was Hogwarts. You haven't even opened the letter yet and you are muggle born I don't understand how you could have heard about Hogwarts".

At that moment Sophie went to her book shelf found the first Harry Potter book and gave it to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore looked at the back of the book. "good heavens how did you get this. This is most extraordinary"

"but its not real I mean its just made up its just a story. Well at least that's what I thought but it does look like Hogwarts exist. So this must be written after it all happens then with Harry. Has he defeated Voldermort yet please say he has then I wont have to wait for the seventh.."

She suddenly looked at Dumbledore's face it was in clear shock well Sophie thought I would be in shock too if I just found out that in the muggle world I was a fictional character.

Suddenly Dumbledore seemed to regain his voice.

"miss Henton I am amassed at these books not because I have just found out that the non magical community believes me to be made up. But by the fact that Harry potter has not even left Hogwarts bit is in his sixth year and you said something about the seventh is the sixth out."

"yes sir I brought it last night but I haven't read it yet. I do hope no one dyes though as I was in tears when sirus was murdered and he just sort of slipped under the veil it was so upsetting"

"well this is most extraordinary it is my guess that these events in Harry's life are being recorded before they happen any way back to business. As it seems you already know about Hogwarts I don't have to explain much there. But I will say this as you don't seem to want to look at your letter. To be frank by the look of your face when you saw it you could see nothing worse than having to look at the letter so I will tell you what it says"

Sophie thought that Dumbledore must be thinking that she was completely silly not opening her letter. So very slowly she bent down and picked up her letter and opened it of course she already new what it was going to say having read it so many times in her book but she did think she should make Dumbledore happy. Plus she did want to read a real Hogwarts letter and she could only read an acceptance letter once.

So she opened up the letter and saw the green writing on the yellowing parchment just like Harry saw when he finally got his letter. And this time it was not being read from a book it was really there she could see the parchment taking a big gulp Sophie looked down and read

HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDDRY

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

She then skipped the bits about his order of Merlin as she wanted to read the rest more so she carried on.

Dear miss Henton

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry as we understand professor Dumbledore is coming to get you to take you to Diagon alley he will explain the rest.

Wait a minute that wasn't in the book Sophie thought. She looked up and saw Dumbledore smiling at her but also cradling a burnt hand I wonder what happened to his hand

Sophie thought. She looked up and saw Dumbledore smiling at her but also cradling a burnt hand

"nothing miss Henton my hand is perfectly fine"

"how did you know I was thin…. Oh yes you know legimancy don't you I should learn oculmancy to prevent you just I wont learn it from snape I think I would laugh at him after reading about his worst memory"

"you do know a lot about our world. I would appreciate it if you didn't go around telling people about this I mean if voldermort found out about this you would be in terrible danger. So do you want to come to Hogwarts"

"why are you asking me such a silly question of course I want to come but how will I get my stuff to go"

"that miss Henton is simple I will take you to Diagon alley but first I think I should have a word with you parents. But I think you should tell them first so I will be back at 1 this afternoon to collect you and take you to Diagon alley until we meet again"

And with that he just disappeared Sophie stood there for about 5 minutes just staring at the spot that Dumbledore had just been standing in and then she went straight off to tell her parents what had happened.
