Oh, no.. Could they have found out what I have done? No, right? They probably do not know that I am no witch, they just must've sencsed that we have used magic. Yes, that must be it. I have heard about Hogwarts, it was a home as well school to many wizards and witches, including Harry Potter, The Chosen One. Alora would be more than overjoyed to know that she has been invited to study there, I smiled. I headed towards the kitchen with the letters behind my back. "Hey, baby. I have a surprise to cheer up your mood. Can you have a guess?" I spoke with a smile. "Ice cream?" she asked. I shook my head. "You took that owl home?!" she got more excited. "Aww, no, baby. Something better. School!" I said and she came over to hug me. I took out her letter upfront and showed it to her, while still hiding my letter. "No ordinary school, though. A magic school, Hogwarts! The one you've been dreaming of, baby! What do you say?" I asked and she quickly grabbed the letter to read, she looked so happy and I could not help but smile. She was so adorable. (Even though her birth parents were muggles, she was born a witch and recently due to her experiencing some emotions, we found out that she possessed magic and that she was a witch. She was so happy as she really dreamed of being one and attend a wizarding school). 

Once she was done reading the letter, she paced around the kitchen happily and looked up at me. She noticed that I still had my hand behind my back and asked "Sissy, what is that? What are you hiding there?" and she started walking towards me. I was quick to answer "My back is hurting, honey, so I am just applying pressure to it. Don't worry, baby." I smiled but she quickly reached for my hand and I accidently dropped the letter. I knew she wasn't any near to being stupid but I had to try and hide it from her. I was not sure attending Hogwarts with her was a good idea. I was not proud of lying to her, she was the only one I had. Alora did not seem hurt or dissapointed at me though. She picked up the letter and looked at me with a smile "You have been invited to attened Hogwarts as well? That is great sissy, we can be together there too! I cannot explain how happy I am!! I could not bear to leave you here. You are coming to Hogwarts with me, right sissy?" She had this sparkle in her eyes as she spoke, that I did not want to dim away so I answered "Of course, baby! How can I leave you alone? Who's gonna take care of you there, hmm?" . She giggled and hugged me tightly "I cannot wait sissy!" . 


---TIME SKIP---


It was first of September and we started heading towards the station with our luggage in hand. As we arrived and waited for the train to arrive, I could not help but notice how happy Alora looked. I planned to pretend to get on the train with her and then leave as fast as the doors started to close, but then again I could not bear to break her heart and leave her alone as she had become so dependant on me for the past few years that we've lived together. She's 12 years old now and does take some responsibilities upon herself but not so much that she can manage on her own, therefore I had to be there for her. And with that I finally decided that I will risk going to Hogwarts with her, for her sake. 

We boarded the train and sat together in an empty cabin. She was amazed at the view once the train took off and honeslty, so was I. It was beautiful and while I was deep in thoughts, I felt Alora on my shoulder, drifting soundly off to sleep. She slept so peacefully, being so cute and adorable as always. I smiled and gently brushed her hair off her face. I looked out the window once again and thought how I could not bear to leave Alora alone and swore that I will always protect her and always be there for her. She is my everything. 

We boarded off the train and I was told by an amazingly huge man, named Hagrid to walk with the first years because even though I was going to be put in fourth year, I was yet to be sorted in to a house. We reached into the school and I was left breathless and speechless  at the view of this beautiful, aesthetic, and enormous castle. And so was Alora amazed just as me by the look of it. It sure was truly magical.

Alora was all the way back with me from the group of first years. I told her that she should go ahead and make a conversation with the other students. A girl took the initative to talk to Alora so she headed forward with the girl, a few roles of students ahead, talking about the qualities of each house and what house they would like to be in. I was left alone with my thoughts but not for long. We were stopped at a top of some large staircase by an elder woman that introduced herself as 'Professor McGonagall'. She let us know about some rules of Hogwarts and spoke about the the four houses and how we were going to be sorted into one by a Sorting Hat, once we go into the Great Hall and our name is called. 

"Alora Einar" Professor McGonagall called. Alora sat in the chair and the professor placed the Sorting Hat on her head. After almost a minute of thinking and speaking with Alora, the Hat shouted "Griffindor!" She was so happy and came running towards me. Alora hugged me, looked up at me with an adorably large smile and said "I am in the same house as the girl I made friends with earlier! Can't wait for you to be sorted in the Griffindor house, too!". I squeezed both her cheeks and placed a kiss on her forehead "Me too, baby! Now go sit with your friend, dear" I said as I smiled at her and she did as I asked. 

After waiting nervously, the Sorting Hat was done with the first years, and it was now my turn. Professor McGonagall spoke - "Aurora Morningstar! Please come forward, dear.". I started walking forward, going up the stairs to sit in the chair as Miss McGonagall continued to speak "Aurora will be in forth year. She could not attend from first year as any of other student here, due to us senscing and finding her late." She then faced me "And we dearly apologise for this Aurora. If you need any help cathing up with material, all the professors here will welcome you with open arms. We can even assign a student to help you in classes. Do not hold back to speak to us if facing any issues." She gave me a warm, sympathic smile and proceeded to say "Now take a seat my dear and let's have you sorted into a house." I smiled back and I sat in the high chair. I felt everyones eyes on me so I closed mine and felt my hands form into fists. 

Professor McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on my head and it began to say "Hmm. Difficult. Very difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind either. There's talent, oh my goodness, yes — and a nice thirst to prove yourself, now that's interesting... So where shall I put you?" I could hear myself silently whispering. "Please be Griffindor. Please be Griffindor. Please be Griffindor.". The Sorting Hat replied with curiosity to my thoughts. "Are you sure? You could be great, you know, it's all here in your head, and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that — no? Well, if you're sure — better be.. " a moment of silence and then the Hat shouted.. 

"SLYTHERIN!" .
