A giggling girl raced down to the kitchen and sat at the table followed by a boy. "I came first." she said smugly. "No fair. You got a head start." the boy pouted. "Blah blah blah. " the girl said. "Now don't fight, darlings." Petunia cooed.

"Draco's coming over today." Petunia informed. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" the girl cheered, jumping up and down. Suddenly a snow-white barn owl swooped in through the window and dropped a letter. The owl sat on the window ledge as if waiting for something.

As soon as Petunia saw the logo, excitement flooded her face. "Perse got her letter! " she cheered. "What letter, Auntie Tuney?" I asked in confusion. "Well, this letter is sent to you because you are a witch, and a school called Hogwarts wants you to learn magic there. If you want to, we will send a letter saying you accept." Petunia  explained.

Perse couldn't believe what she was hearing. She, Persephone Aphrodite Riddle, was a witch. She had magic. And there was a school to learn about magic. Of course she wanted to go! "I want to go!" Perse nodded delightfully.

 "But it's like a boarding school. You can write letters home, but nothing else. You can come back for Easter, Christmas and summer." Petunia added, smiling wistfully. 

That put a damper on her mood. "But, I don't wanna leave you." Perse said sadly. "Darling Persephone, your father and mother went to this school. It's only right that you should too. I don't want you to miss out on opportunities because of us." Petunia encouraged.

"And maybe when you come back, you could send a hex or to to those bullies in the neighbourhood." Vernon said. 

Perse giggled. "Okay. I'm going." 

"One more thing. You can't tell any non-magical people about magic. "Petunia said. 

"Okay." I said. 

"Last surprise. Draco is also magical like you." Petunia said. 

"What now?" Perse gaped.

The doorbell rang suddenly.  Perse opened the door to see her albino blonde honorary brother. "Dray!" she wrestled him to ground. "I got my letter." she beamed. The blonde let out a sigh of relief and said, "Finally. I don't think I would've been able to keep the secret any longer. "  

"Lady Malfoy." Perse said, dramatically, curtsying a bit. 

"Heiress Riddle." Narcissa said, just as dramatically, curtsying.

Both of them stared at each other before breaking out into fits of laughter. 

"So you finally got your letter." Narcissa smiled. 

"Yep!" Perse beamed.

Perse and Draco went outside together.  "Where are we going?" Draco asked. "To see Vicky Willow of course." Perse grinned. They walked to the house beside and rang the bell. A dark- haired, blue eyed girl opened the door. 

"What the hell- Perse!" the girl exclaimed happily

"What the hell- Perse!" the girl exclaimed happily.

"Hey, but I really need to go. I just came to tell you that I'm going to a boarding school. I can come back for Easter, Christmas and summer." Perse said sorrowfully.

"What?" Vicky gaped. "You're leaving?"

"I wish you could come with me, but you can't. I'll miss you so much, Vick."

"Me too. But this is important for you. I understand. But you'll write to me, every week right?" Vicky asked. " Every day if possible." Perse promised. 

"Best friends?" "Always."
