Chapter 2: It Can't Be!

Chapiro awoke to her brother calling her.

"Chapiro, wake up! It's time to go to your singing classes." Kyle said, gently shaking Chapiro.

"Okay, okay." Chapiro said groggily. She got up and got dressed. She went downstairs to find her mom standing in front of the stove making breakfast.

"How would you like your eggs sweetie? Sunnyside up, scrambled, or benedict?" Her mom asked. Her mom was a terrific cook and that always put a smile on Chapiro's face, one of the only emotions she ever felt, but one she couldn't describe.

"Scrambled, please." Chapiro replied, sitting down at her place at the table. A few seconds later, Kyle came downstairs, wearing a white undershirt with a nice blue buttoned down shirt over top.

"You're looking nice." Chapiro complimented. She knew that Kyle liked it when she complimented him. He indeed smiled and said, "Thanks, Liz."

Oh, yeah! I forgot to mention. Chapiro's family and friends found saying Chapiro's name fully all the time tiring, so they call her Liz, which comes from her middle name, Elizabeth.

"You're most welcome." Chapiro acknowledged, nodding. Her mother then set a plate in front of Liz that had scrambled eggs, pancakes, and sausage, YUM!

"Wow! This looks great, thanks mom!" Liz alleged with a HUGE smile.

"Thank you honey. Now eat so you won't be late. What do you want Kyle?" Their mom asked, turning toward Kyle who was reading at the table.

"Um, I'm not hungry, ma. I'll grab something on the way home." Kyle explained. Their mom put her hands on her hips and gave him an angry look.

"What!" Kyle asked, as if he had done something wrong.

"Why do you do that?" Their mom asked.

"Do what?" Kyle retorted, not knowing the answer.

"Why do you go eat that terrible food when your own mother is the best cook in the county?" Their mom asked in a calm tone.

"I guess it's because I've had almost every type of food on the planet. I just don't know what the big deal's about." Kyle said, moving his hands while he spoke. He then noticed that Liz was done eating.

"You done Liz?" Kyle asked, trying to find an excuse to leave. Liz nodded, wiped off her face, and started to gather her things.

"I hate it when you do that." Their mother said, picking up Liz's dirty dishes.

"Do what? She has to get going!" Kyle exclaimed.

"Never mind. Be careful." She kissed both of her children on the cheeks and sent them out the door.

The ride to Liz's voice classes was long and silent. But finally, Kyle had something to ask.

"Hey, Liz?" Kyle summoned.

"Uh-huh?" Liz replied, turning her attention to Kyle, who kept his eyes on the road.

"Well, you got something in the mail today. I know I didn't tell you earlier, but I don't think mom should know." Kyle said, he sounded suspiciously odd.

"Why? Who's it from?" Liz asked. Kyle handed her beige envelope that had words in fancy handwriting on the front. It read:

Miss Chapiro Evans
1978 Broxford Road
Raleigh NC, 30122

Liz gave the envelope a confused look before she smoothly opened it. The note was yet again in fancy handwriting that looked like it came from a person of wisdom. It read:

Dear Chapiro Evans,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed (at the bottom) a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on the 20 April 2005. We will be waiting for your owl.


Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Your Headmaster

When Liz finished reading the statement, she slowly turned her head towards her brother. She was flabbergasted.

"Well, don't look like that! You should be excited! This is an honor! Now you can go with me!" Kyle said, nudging Liz's arm. Liz's expression stayed the same all the way to her voice class. They finally arrived, but Liz did not get out of the car.

"What's the matter?" Kyle asked. Liz stared ahead as she spoke, "How can this be? There's no such thing! But, I thought you went to boarding school? How? Why? Where?" Liz said all this very quickly.

"Whoa! Hold on! I've never heard you like this. There is such a thing and you're a part of it." Kyle soothed, grasping Liz's shoulder. She just got out of the car and walked inside the building, not looking back.

I know it's not that great, but I'm sort of new at this writing thing and I'm trying my best. Please review!
