Jessica's POV

It was may and I was several months into my sixth year at the academy when to my surprise one night when I was studying in the library I received a message asking me to report to the Principals office immediately. trying to think of what I might have done wrong I walked quickly to the office. My tentative knock was answered with a kindly "come in" from within the office. As I stepped into the office I saw the kindly principal Mrs Cooper sitting not behind her desk but rather sitting in a comfy armchair. "sit down" she said to me welcomingly as I stood hesitantly near the door "don't be scared I just have something I wish to discuss with you. An opportunity has arisen for one of our students to spend a year or more attending Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. I would like to offer this opportunity to you since you are one of the finest students in the academy. So what do you think, do you need time to consider it?" I couldn't believe it I had always wanted to see the country my parents came from and the unique learning experience was one of those chances that only come around once in a lifetime, as soon as this had sunk in I knew what my answer would be "I don't need time to think Mrs Cooper I would love to go" "good said" Mrs Cooper "we will make travel arrangements for you. you leave on the 31st of August. term starts on the 1st of September."
