    - WHAT?

  
   In my room, I was eating my first meal of the day and looking at the letter, and the letter looking at me back.
    - What is going on? What is Hogwarts? ... I..um... what?
    I read it again:
            
    " Dear Miss Rianna Clooney
  
   We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Students will be required to report to the Chamber of Reception upon arrival. Please find an enclosed list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1st 2022. We await your owl by no later than January 31st.
To avoid detecting by Muggles, please use the entrance located at Kings Cross Station Downtown London, on platform 9¾. We look forward to having you at our school.

    
Yours Sincerely
Minevra McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress"

    - What is Hogwarts? The 9¾ platform, doest it even exist?Muggles? An how did I got accepted?
   A milion of questions were running into my mind, as if they were competing in a marathon.
    - What should I do? Tell Julie about the letter or keep it to myself? What the heck, Rianna, did you hit your head or something ? There's no way that a "Magical School" exists and that they want me in it.
    I threw the letter in the trash can and I didn't realized how big of a mistake that was.

     6 days till school starts.
   I woke up with an owl scratching my window. Out of curiosity, I opened the window, untied the letter from its foot and let it fly away.
    - Maybe this time it's a letter from the "prankster" saying that he's sorry.
    It wasn't the letter that I was hoping for, nor expecting. It was exactly the same letter from yesterday.
    - What? Is this a joke? Hogwarts School my butt.
     In the evening i got another letter.

     5 days till school starts.
    I woke up and got ready to go to the library. When I stepped outside, 5 beautiful owls were waiting for me, each one having a letter. I got the letters and threw them in the garbage (they weren't realy happy when i did that). When I came back there were 16 letters at my door , luckily Julie wasn't home and didn't saw them. Is this going to stop?

     4 days till school starts.
    - Rianna! Come, I need to talk to you.
    I stand up and went to the kitchen, were Julie was waiting for me with a serious face and more than 20 letters in her hand.
     - Umm... I...I started to find letters at the door or an owl scratching my window . I don't know what to do and the owls won't go away, nor leave me alone and what is even Hogwarts? Why is somebody pretending that they are from a magical school and...
      - Rianna, Hogwarts exists and you are a wizard.
