"Hey Andrea, did you get a letter too?"
"Yeah, my parents
nearly fainted, and then they said I couldn't go because it was
probably either a prank or a sicko trying to get a girl."
"Wow
that stinks."
"Yeah, so how did your parents
react?"
"They checked it over and over, looking for a
fault or flaw in it, when they couldn't find one, they trying to call
them, and they approved."
"Wow, you are the luckiest
ever!"
"Anyway you could talk them into letting you
come too?"
"Maybe have your parents call? I have no
idea really, who else got a letter?"
"Funny enough,
like all my friends, you, Gabe, Amanda, Brian, Sydney, Hayden, Zoë,
Conner, Krysty, Jason, Douglas, Steve, and Rob."
"Wow,
that's gonna be one interesting year."
"Yeah it is,
that's why you have to come! Let me talk to your parents, come on,
they have to let you go!"
"I'll try talking to them
again, call you later?"
"Ok, talk to you
later!"

Sarah's day had been the same way, with the
exception of the phone calls being to different people and most of
them being aloud to go. She really wanted Andrea to be there because
she was like the "bestest" of her best friends. Hanging up
the phone, Sarah plopped down on her bed and thought about her new
school, who she'd meet, what she'd learn, what she'd do, all kinds of
things, when her mom knocked on the door.
"Hey sweetie, we
have to go get your school supplies."
"But mom, school
doesn't start for another two weeks, and I don't even want to go if
Andrea can't go, and from the looks of it..."
"She'll
go, I'm sure of it, now come on! No more procrastination missy, we're
going to get your supplies!"
"But where are we going to
get them? It's not like we can apparate into London or anything, we'd
have to fly there, get wizarding money, buy our stuff, find somewhere
to stay, and then fly all the way back the next day, and that so does
not sound like fun."
"Don't be silly, we'll go by
floo."
"Floo! We don't even have a fire place
mom!"
"That's ok; we're going to go shopping with Rob's
family to get the supplies, so we'll use their fire place."
"Fine,
can't I at least invite my other friends to shop with us?"
"Sure,
just hurry, we're leaving in an hour."
Her mom closed the
door. It was definitely going to be different going to Hogwarts this
year.
