I stared out of the window with a look of sadness. This summer had been more boring than the last but nobody seemed to mind. My parents were busy out on a buisness trip. My mind wondered to an owl that perched itself next to the window. I smiled and opened the window to pet it.
"(Y/N)..." My aunt spoke. The owl flew away quickly. I sighed and looked at her. She held a note. I groaned and looked at it. Probably a note from my parents. A red seat was sealing the note together. I narrowed my eyes and opened

I look over at my aunt who is extremely excited. "Yes!!" She shouted and twirled me around. I'm confused all the way. Yes I knew I was a wizard but why a school? I did plenty of things that I don't need help with. "Oh I have to tell your parents!" She shouted. I was still confused.
Aunty ran down the steps. She accidentally tripped so I ran to see her. She was laying on the ground. She quickly got up and ran to the phone. "Aunty... Aunty!! I don't want to go!" I shout. She rolls her eyes. "Seriously!!"
"Honey. You don't have a choice. You must live up to the standards! Remember your mom and dad-"
"Yes they were both RavenClaw and you were Slytherin. What does this have to do with me?" I whimpered. Aunty stroked my head gently.
"It means now you can become a proud RavenClaw. The most brave!!" She shouted. I hung my head. "What if I become a Slytherin? What then?" I spoke rubbing my arm shyly. She Ruffled up my hair.
"Trust me. You won't."
