What would happen if Zoey went to Hogwarts instead of PCA? Well, here's the answer. (Note: This was when she was eleven. I made up Imani and Inaya.)

Zoey Brooks sat in the sun of her hometown. She loved summer! She was about to go see her friend Imani and her twin Inaya when she saw an animal. "What kind of animal is that?" She asked. All of a sudden it dropped a package on her stomach. OOF! It was addressed:

Miss Brooks

2416 Lily Ave.

San Francisco, CA

USA

94112

So she looked for who it was from. No name, except on the back was a stamp that said: Hogwarts: Operating Since 1252. Hogwarts? She opened the letter.

Dear Miss Brooks,

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 Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

"DAD!" Zoey screamed. Her dad ran out. "Zoey what is it?" He looked worried. "Dad I got a letter from some school called Hogwarts." "Oh no," Her dad said. "Oh no, oh no, oh no." "Dad, what's wrong?"

They went inside. "Zo," He told her. "Have you heard of Sabrina the teenage witch? She's your biological mother." Sabrina? Wasn't she made-up? Obviously it had to be true. "Where is she?" Zoey asked. "She ran off and had Dustin. Then she told me to take care of you. She went to Hogwarts."

"You told me she went to Big Al's Beauty School!" Zoey yelled. She wasn't in the mood to hear her mom went to some school in, in… "Hey, where IS Hogwarts anyway?" "Next to Hogsmeade, England. No one knows the real city, though."

"Hey," Zoey added. "What am I gonna tell Imani and Inaya?" "You are going to tell them you are gonna go to boarding school in England." "England, just for boarding school?" "Yes. Tell the headmasters you will return on Thanksgiving – they don't have Thanksgiving there, so please explain it – Christmas, and Easter."

"Okay," Zoey added, and then thought, Returning? I thought I was gonna come home on the weekends. "You mean I go for a year?" She asked hopefully. "Yes." Her dad said. She cheered with joy. "AWESOME!" She yelled.

"Here, I found it outside." Her dad handed her the list of essentials. "Uniforms:" Zoey read out loud. "Three sets of work robes, one plain pointed hat for day wear, one pair of protective gloves, one winter cloak. It also says I have to wear a name tag."

"What will you be doing that requires PROTECTIVE gloves?" Her father said. "I don't know. I also have a ton of books: The Standard Book of Spells, A History of Magic, Magical Theory, A Beginners' Guide to Transfiguration, One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi, Magical Drafts and Potions, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection."

"Again with the protection." Her father mumbled. Sabrina didn't mention that Hogwarts had anything dangerous. "I still have things for classes. 1 wand, 1 cauldron, 1 set glass or crystal phials, 1 telescope, 1 set brass scales. Students mal also bring an owl OR a cat OR a toad."

"An owl, cat, or toad." Her father said. He wasn't too big on animals. "I think I'll get an owl." Zoey said. "It says that most people use owls to communicate. If it's a girl, I think I'll name her Jade and a boy I'll name it Eric." "Zoey, you're not going."
