My day started with my little brother jumping in my bed. Today is my eleventh birthday and it's very important according to my parents. I don't know why, but it just is. My parents won't tell me until later today.
"Get up Katie! Get up! We need to go to London!" My little brother Tate said excitedly. I groaned as I got up.
When I go down stairs to get breakfast I get my very special birthday breakfast (waffles and whip cream) and get ready for the day. I put on my comfy jeans, a purple plaid shirt, and I braid my dark long hair to the side.
I packed a small bag with a change of clothes and when we were ready we got to the car and drove off to London. When I get there I feel the warm air against my skin. We went shopping store to store until it was around lunch time.
My dad took Tate to the park to play while my mom and I went to a little café to have lunch. We both ordered a chicken sandwich and we started eating as soon as it got to our table. She was a little quiet and I knew there was something wrong. Was I in trouble? I just prepared myself for the worst.
"Katie, we need to talk" she said with a firm tone. I nodded my head signaling for her to proceed.
"A letter arrived for you yesterday" a letter? I'm in trouble because of a letter? I know it's unusual for me to get a letter, but why is that bad?
"But before you read it you need to know the truth" she paused taking a breath. The truth about what? I wait for her to start talking again.
" You and I are witches" she said with such a serious tone. I'm not sure whether if I should believe her or not. Witches? Are they even real? Am I that ugly?"Witches? Like the magical creatures?" was my response. I'm still a little confused about all this. Scratch that I am completely confused by all this.
My mom started telling me about her childhood as a wizard. She is considered a pure-blood and my dad is a half-blood and I would also be considered as a half-blood.She went to this school with witches and wizards and where she learned magic. She was in a house named Gryffindor and was a chaser for this game called Quidditch. I actually got excited about this new life. I wanted to play Qudditch it sounds so fun to me. She told me all about her favorite teams and that her all-time favorite team were the Irish.
Then she started getting more in depth about Hogwarts. There are four houses. Raveclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. There is a huge chance that I would be put in Gryffindor since both my parents were in Gryffindor.
"Don't tell your brother anything yet." Mom told me as we saw my dad and Tate coming towards us. We spend the rest of the day together and when night came we went to The Leaky Cauldron. A hotel for wizards. Luckily my brother was too sleepy to notice that things were moving magically. I in the other hand was amused that everything went back on its own.
We put Tate to sleep so both my parents and I could discuss this. My dad started telling me some stories about his childhood and we all laughed at how much of a trouble maker he was. Finally my parents gave me my letter. I almost forgot about the letter I was too excited about everything else. They hand me the letter and I see my name on it. I turn it over and see it stamped closed. I drag my fingers to open it and take the papers out. This is a big day for me and my parents are watching me carefully. Finally I read.
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.

A smile spread through my face and I jumped up to hug my parents. They smiled back at me and congratulated me. This birthday has been eventful and so far this has been the best birthday I ever had. You never hear that you're a witch and that magic is real. Those are just stuff that would be make belief and that are for children. If that's the case I never want to grow up. I could stay eleven for the rest of my life.
*** Second Chapter yay!!! I posted this because I had a great day! Make sure you guys have a good day!!!***
