love triangle

the letter

I woke up to an owl with an envelope in its beak sitting on my window seal. I jump out of bed and stumble to my window. Not knowing what it was, I reluctantly opened the window and took the envelope from the owl. I rip it open and realize it's an invitation to a Witchcraft and Wizardry school named Hogwarts.

I rush to my mum's bedroom to show her but on the way my brother Harry pulled me into his room. I glanced over to his desk and realize he has the same letter.

"What is it, Harry?" I say angrily.

"You got into Hogwarts!?" Harry replies.

"Yeah. You got one too" I say while pointing to his letter on his desk. "What is Hogwarts exactly?"

"Well, you know the boarding school I went to last year. Well, that's Hogwarts" Harry explains. "It's a school for Witches and Wizard so they can learn how to protect themselves and learn about the Witch and Wizard world."

My jaw drops. I didn't realize that my own brother was a Wizard and that means that I'm a Witch. I look down at the letter and see the name 'Dumbledore' at the bottom.

"Who's Dumbledore?" I say with a shivery voice.

"He's the Headmaster. So, you'll go to him if you need anything" Harry says while he gives me a big hug. "Just know that I'll be there for you and with you the whole time".

I start to feel a little better knowing that Harry's going too. I hug him tight until I hear my mum walk in. I quickly spin around and hide the letter behind my back.

"What's that behind your back Evie," Mum said confused.

"Oh nothing," I say scared that she'll find out.

"EVIE LILY POTTER! What is behind your back?" Mum yelled.

I show her the letter. I grind my teeth trying to deal with my nerves while my mum reads the letter. Once she'd finished reading, she looks up at me with the biggest smile. She gives me a big hug.

"I'm so proud of you Evie" Mum mumbled. "I've got a family of Witches and Wizards. Your father would be so proud of you Evie and you Harry. Now, we have to get your books."

"I have some questions about Hogwarts," I say to Mum and Harry. "When do we leave? Where is it?"

"We leave in 1 week and I honestly have no idea where it is, but we take a train there," Harry says to me.

I feel so excited I skip to my room and start packing some clothes. I can't wait to see what being a Witch is like.

"MUM!!!!" You yell from your bedroom.

"Yes, my little Witch?" She says standing in your doorway.

"Are there color houses like my school?" I say with a big smile.

"Yes, there are. Red is Gryffindor, yellow is Hufflepuff, blue is Ravenclaw and finally green is Slytherin. Harry's in Gryffindor by the way. When you get there, you'll be sorted into the houses by the sorting hat" Mum explains. "The hat is placed on your head and it tells you which house you're in. And remember it takes your opinion into account too".
