The following drabble is part of a thirty chaptered event that i'm doing on the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (Challenges & Assignments) Forum. I may update daily, twice a day or once in a week. But there will be thirty by the end of September.
"So, you're a witch?" Seamus asked his Mum, his eyes wide (which they'd been for the past hour) and his face pale. Her answering nod came with a tentative smile. He then turned to his Dad, who was paler than him. "And you're a muggle?"
His Dad snorted. "I thought we all were," he replied, shaking his head in annoyance. He continued to mutter and Seamus tuned him out, his attention returning to the letter that rested in his hands.
"This is normal, right? The owls and funny letters?"
"Oh sweetie, there is so much more that is considered to be normal. More things that are stranger than that."
"But the name of the school is pretty strange," his Dad teased and Seamus tilted his head in agreement. Hogwarts. It really was an odd name.
He was a wizard, his Mum was a witch, and he was going to a magical school where he was going to learn magic. Awesome!
He smiled.
