Chapter Two
Flying was brilliant! It took awhile to get on the broom and stay up, but after a couple of tries I finally got it. After about three hours of nothing but flying, Lu and I went back home to eat lunch.
I walk inside and stop dead in my tracks. Lu bumps into me and mumbles a curse under her breath. "Merlin's beard James! Keep it moving!" She stops to look at me and follows my gaze. "Oh… Now when did that get there? Well, what are you waiting for? Go get it!"
I scuttle over to the front door and pick up the parchment lying there. I examine the emerald letters on the front that says
Mr. James Potter
45N783 Waltwright Street
5th Room Upstairs On The Right
Wow. Dad wasn't joking when he said they knew a lot.. "I remember when I got mine," Lu said. "They got my address right down to the bed I slept in." I gave her a quizzical look. "I used to share a room with my younger sister so we had different beds in the room," she explained. I opened the letter and peered inside. What if they're rejecting me? Would they still send a letter? "Go on," Lu said.
I pulled the letter out and read it aloud.
Dear Mr. Potter,
We are delighted to inform you that you are accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Included in this letter is a list of all supplies you will need for the start of the school year. Start of term will be the 1st of September. Please come to Kings Cross Station to board the Hogwarts Express. The train will leave the station at exactly 11:00 in the AM. Please do not be late. You are allowed an option to bring either a toad, a cat, or an owl. We hope to see you soon.
Yours Truly,
Elisa Nothnagle
Deputy Headmistress
"So with it being March 27th today, you still have about three months until summer holiday and then two months until school starts back up. You'll have almost five months to wait for this. Can you handle it?" Lu asks me.
"Sure I can!" I respond. And that was that. We ate some lunch and I went back to my room to study my broom and letter.
