"I don't understand why I have to take The Hogwarts Express. We can see the castle from the Lake House, Hogsmeade is five minutes away from home, and yet Mom and Dad want me to come all the way to London and take the train to Hogsmeade. This is absurd!" Scarlett fumed.
She looked up at Phoenix, who held a blank stare. Her hands trembled ever so slightly, as she held the piece of paper. Scarlett frowned, "Phoenix? What is it?" she snatched the paper from her hands, and scanned it. It was her Hogwarts letter, along with the equipment and books list. She wondered what was so upsetting about the letter, and slowly read it out.
