Linda's Girls Orphanage, 11:58 pm, July 29, 1991.
Celestia Athena Holmes sat on her Bay window, a battered torch in her left hand and an old book of Shakespeare's famous play, Macbeth, sat open on her right, its pages dog-eared and slightly torn.
TRING, TRING!
Her battered old alarm clock rung, which meant only two things; One, It was her 11th Birthday, and two, Sister Bethany, a grumpy old woman, was about to check every room in the orphanage. And unfortunately, her room was only 2 rooms away from the old woman's quarters.
She fumbled with her bedsheets, trying to make it look like she had been sleeping, and not sitting on the railings.
Footsteps echoed, and Celestia frantically lied down in her bed, squeezing her eyes shut.
The door opened and Sister Bethany's face poked inside, scanning her surroundings. She then left.
Sighing in relief, Celestia closed her eyes.

Linda's Girls Orphanage, 10:00 am, July 30th, 1991.
Minerva McGonagall, an Emerald robed witch, swept inside Linda's Orphanage, taking in her surroundings. Muggle children ran and played with their friends, some playing with hand-me down toys, while some braiding each-other's hair.
A sister ran up to her, puffing heavily.
"Hello Madam, Welcome! Are you here to-Bree, let Shiloh play with you!" she cut off herself. "Sorry about that. Are you here to adopt a child?"
"Sorry, but no. I'm here to see Celestia Holmes? I'm a professor at a boarding school, you see, Hogwarts. She has been accepted."
Minerva answered with a tight smile.
"Hogwarts, you say? Well, I've never heard of that school! And-Accepted? We never heard of any submission forms for it here!" the Sister exclaimed, puzzled.
"Well- you see, her parents-well, since she was born, they had er- submitted her name ever since. And now she is accepted! Can I see her now? You know, tell her about the nick-knacks?" said Minerva.
"Oh well...Come with me then....I'm Sister Mandy." she introduced herself.
"I'm Minerva McGonagall." Minerva introduced herself as Sister Mandy led her to Celestia's room.
As soon as they were out of sight, Mandy started. "How've you been, Minerva? I've trying to act like any other Muggle would, sorry if I confused you."
