How would a letter from Hogwarts, telling the family that their youngest daughter is a witch, would react upon the family of India, in 1970's? Surely, a lot of drama. This story is about Sai, who is different from others. After finding her true iden...
Only I have got this ability to make such silence in my house. It always has been me, and it's not something to praise me for. Because it always has something to do with what I did, or do. I have done nothing today, but still this silence ows to me, as the letter was sent to my name. Papa had probably read the letter at least 3 times over and over, taking breaks in the middle of that sometime just to investigate its envelope, which was useless as it only had my name on it, and that seal(I still have that wax seal of blood red color with a mysterious symbol on it).
Mummy and brother don't know anything. Mummy can't read, speak or understand English, my brother can, but only a little, and I can do all the three (papa has taught me from an early age). It was because of those early English lectures, due to which, I know what a 'wizard' and a 'witch' means. It seems, I truly am a witch, just like aunt likes to pronounce me. But somehow, this letter just doesn't feel very offensive, even though it's clearly written that it's a school for wizards and witches, maybe because it makes me feel 'bright'. I guess I don't feel offended by it, because it didn't say an 'evil witch from hell, a demoness' in it, like my aunt says to me. But still, if my aunt will knew about it, she will still be proud of herself telling the whole town that I was really a witch, which she predicted, when I was just 2(not to mention she said it because she hates my mummy, and she always say that I am like my mother, evil, but mummy's not a witch). But whatever the letter was talking about, SPELL BOOKS, ROBES, A WAND, POTION INGREDIENTS (the names are very weird), CAULDRON,etc. I don't understand it. And the whole letter went something like this,
