I ran out of the front door of 24 Belvedere Rd. Living in Oxford was nice. When you walk out of the door you are welcomed by the fragrance of nature. I started walking towards the school I rook the wand out of the inner pocket of my hoodie and looked at it. I got it from my aunt well I got it through her will. I found out that it was a model wand. But this isn't a model wand it has to be real if I can use magic. I studied it. I was made of wood and had many scratches along the surface. It was a mahogany hue. I remembered in the Harry Potter books that each wand was made of something like a phoenix feather or unicorn hair. Maybe I had a piece of unicorn hair in the wand! My thoughts were interrupted by a voice.
"Hello there." I looked to my left and there was a short old man. He had grey hair and a long beard. Santa I thought. "May I ask you why you are holding that stick? It's dangerous to play with sticks." He chastised.
"Uhh…"
"I once ran with a stick in my hand and it went through my eye." He pointed to one of his watery, light green eyes which looked perfectly fine. "See? I had to have surgery. Now its all red."
"RINGG!!" the school bell ringed. Damn it.
"Sorry about your eye sir. I have to go now. I ran towards Queen Elizabeth Junior High. I skipped a grade. I'm supposed to be in grade 6 but im in grade 7. I tucked the wand back into my pocket and ran inside.
"Belinda?" wheezed a elderly voice. I twirled around.
"Auntie Gretel?" I stare at a wrinkled old lady in a pink dress and a white shawl.
"Belinda. I never told you this but you're a witch." She said in a whisper.
"What!?"
"BELINDA LANDON!"
I woke with a start. Ms. Dixie was staring at me. I felt a wet patch on my arm. Damn I drooled.
"What in the name of god do you think you are doing?" She asked sharply.
"I-"
"Detention tomorrow at lunch!" and she walked back to the front. I glared at her back. Then BAM she fell on the ground. Her heels of her golden Gucci high hells broke and her red skirt flew up showing her knickers. A very disturbing sight. A few of the boys in my row snickered. Ms. Dixie screamed and ran out of the classroom.
By the end of the day everybody forgot about and walked home and I thought about the wand again. I was about a block away from my house when the Santa showed up again. He was wearing suspenders over his white sweater.
"I see you have put away the stick a wise decision." He said with a thin smile.
"Yep!" I said putting my hands on my hips.
"Well young lady it was nice meeting you. I never asked what your name is."
"It's Belinda."
"That's a nice name." he murmured and wandered off.
When I got home no one was in so I went into my room. I went in and found a letter on my desk.

"No way" I whispered. I slowly opened it.
