"Witchcraft and wizardry, like the letter?" I asked quickly with curiosity.

"So you did get my letter, I am assuming you both are confused about what that letter is containing?" McGonagall questioned.

"Why, yes we are, I was coming downstairs a minute ago when I heard hermione yell at the letters containment. " my mom said answering the woman's stated question.

"Can I come in and explain the letter to you?" McGonagall asked, "it is fine if you want to talk out here but I think most of this should remain between just us three."

"No! I mean yes! Do come in!" My mom replied quickly, leading Minerva inside. "I was just about to make some tea."

I followed my mum and Minerva inside to the breakfast table where I sat waiting for tea, and an explanation.

Once my mom got the kettle and started boiling the water,

Minerva began ", let's start with answers. What are some questions you have miss Granger?"

I thought for a moment before saying,

"are you a witch?" Looking at a smiling Minerva I waited for an answer.

"Yes my dear I am." She said.

"Do you think you could, do, do, mag- mag-magic?" I asked with a nervous stutter. "I need proof" I thought to myself.

"I thought that question would come up. Yes I can do magic. What would you like to see?"

I thought back to a book I had read a while ago, the sword and the stone I think.

What did merlin do? Didn't he turn arthur into a fish, then a squirrel, than a bird? Yes that's what he did. I will ask for her to transfigure something.

"Can you change something? Like that cup to a bird?" I asked, kind of eager to see her do magic.

"Sure," she said. McGonagall reached into her pocket and pulled out a beautifully carved stick, it was mahogany brown with a swirled Handle. It was maybe 14 inches long and an inch wide.

Pointing towards an empty teacup McGonagall spoke clearly," arragotegano"

What once stood a proud teacup was now a small bird.

"Am I able to do that?" I asked, still dumbfounded at what happened in front of my very eyes.

With a small smile McGonagall replied with," soon enough, that is if you want to go to Hogwarts."

"Can you explain this a little bit more to us? I mean the school." My mother, still shocked asked, "and I am not a big bird fan, can you turn it back to a teacup please?" She added. The bird had been soaring around the table for the past five minutes. I had been watching it in wonder.

"Oh, dear me, yes. I will." She answered, pointing what I assumed was her wand towards the flying bird she yelled, "immobulus!" And then said, "finite incantatem!" On the table again was the proud teacup.

"So about Hogwarts, Hogwarts is a school for magical pupils," McGonagall began, putting away her wand as if nothing ever happened to the teacup,"at this school, girls and boys with magic in them are taught to control their powers. They are taught spells, charms, enchantments." She took a breath and continued, "hermione here is a witch. She is a muggle born one."

"Muggle-born?" I questioned, "what does muggle mean?"

"Muggle means someone with no magical power, your parents are muggles. You are a witch born from two muggles, therefore muggle-born." She answered back.

"I am just like my mum though. How can I be magical when she isn't?" I asked really confused.

"It is complicated you see, my dear. I can only explain that you are a witch. Not how you are a witch." She answered with concern.

"How do I know if I am a witch?" I asked her.

"Do you ever make unexplainable things happen when you are mad or upset? Sad and happy?" She asked me.

Thinking back to this past school year, I had done some pretty out of the ordinary things. In fitness class when a ball would come flying at me I would put my hands up in front of my face for defense. The ball would move a whole different way. A few months ago when my mum took me for a haircut, they accidentally cut almost all of it off. I hated that haircut. The next morning it all had grown back! We never spoke about how it happened.

Pulling myself out of my thoughts I said, "The ball in P.E. would go flying a different way, and my hair after an unfortunate haircut had grown completely back the next morning." I finished in a rush, " Am I a witch just because of those incidents?"

"What do you think?" McGonagall asked me.

"I don't, I don't know what to think." I replied with my voice at a sad tone. "It is so confusing. You showing up, that letter. I'm probably the only one going through this weird day!" I exclaimed, upset and confused. "I am a straight A student, I know so many things. Then here comes a whole new life which I know nothing about!" I yelled almost at tears.

My mom and McGonagall looked concerned. McGonagall waved her wand and suddenly I felt, happier!

"Cheering charm." McGonagall said as I looked over to see of she did a spell.

"Miss Granger, you are a muggleborn witch, there are many students at Hogwarts that are muggleborn. Do not think that you are the only one going through this today!" McGonagall exclaimed, and that did make me feel better.

"Hogwarts is in London, only witches and wizards can see it. You are special my dear, and if you choose to go to hogwarts you will learn many things, you also will make a lot of friends." It is basically like you got excepted into a boarding school for really smart gifted children. But unlike things you learn in your school now, you will learn magic at Hogwarts. Something that isn't taught at other schools. You will have a chance to learn even more then you know now." McGonagall said, I looked at my mum, then McGonagall, mum, McGonagall.

"OK." I said. I feel way better now. "Thank you!"

"Mrs. Granger, is hermione going to be attending Hogwarts?" McGonagall asked looking at my mum.

My mum looked at me, and I shook my head up and then down. I was going to go to hogwarts.

"Yes she will be." My mom said simply

"Excellent. If you don't mind explaining this to Mr. Granger when he gets home, I will pick you all up tomorrow to go to diagon alley." McGonagall said, "good day Grangers." In a crack she was gone.

"I'm going to hogwarts." I said out loud,

"I am a witch."

I am a witch who is going to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.

That night I had the best sleep I have had in awhile.
