There was a flash of lightning, and by the count of ten, 

BOOM!

The lightning was two miles away thought Amber, a sharp minded eleven year old girl to herself.

It was 10 PM in Boston. It was chilly December night, snowflakes pelted down over the town. I might as well go to sleep, she thought. Amber climbed into bed, and she soon drifted off to sleep.

The next morning Amber woke up to the smell of pancakes. She slid down the banister, landed on her feet, and dashed into the kitchen skidding to a halt in front of her mom, almost crashing into her.

"Good morning Amber." Her mom said.

"Good morning mom, can I help?" Amber asked.

" Next time." Her mom promised, "But you can get me some chocolate chips, but this time walk."

"Ok!" Amber replied.

She walked over to the cabinet and grabbed the bag of chocolate chips. "Here" She handed her mom the bag and watched as her mom measured the chocolate chips into a cup and poured them into the bowl.

"Amber go change out of your PJ's," Her mom said.

Amber ran up the stairs and into her bedroom. She opened her dresser and put on her usual long sleeved shirt, a blue sweater, and some dark black pants.

She ran to the hall and slid down the banister again. At the table a steaming plate of chocolate pancakes, a bottle of maple syrup, and a large glass of orange juice stood at the table.

"Thanks mom." She said.

"You're welcome." Her mom said.

Amber swallowed her last bite and, "Ding-dong" The doorbell rang, throughout her house.

"I'll get it." She opened the door and she was looking at a woman who looked about 27 years old.

"Hello, My name is Miss. Rosie, are you Amber Frostpetal by any chance." The woman said.

"Yes I am" She replied."Why?"

"I am the headmistress of Witches and Wizards Academy." Miss. Rosie replied. "You are a witch."

"I know," Amber said.

"Ahh, you already know." Miss Rosie said. " You are eleven and the young witches and wizards who are eleven come to my school and are taught magic."

"Wow" Amber replied.

"How much is it?" Her mom said.

"Oh, It's free," The headmistress said.

"Well Amber, how about it?" Her mom said, smiling at Amber.

"Yes!" Amber cried.

She was practically bouncing up and down on her toes.

"Be outside today at one thirty sharp ok. You will need a big suitcase, a tooth brush, tooth paste, and a snack, good day." Miss. Rosie said, and spun on her heel and disappeared with a small pop!
