When I woke up I knew today was going to be different... In a good way.
The first thing I smelled was delicious syrup and bacon. I sat up and stretched. I slowly got out of bed. I walked over to my closet and changed into a tee shirt and jeans. I walked downstairs. My mum greeted me when I got to the kitchen. "Hi, honey." She said. I mumbled a good morning to her and sat down at the breakfast bar. I loaded my plate with bacon, eggs, and pancakes. "But the way you have mail." My mum said as she passed a letter to me. It was addressed to B. Dogge. I chomped on my bacon as I opened it, Dear Becca,
You have been accepted into Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, the semester starts on September 1st. Hope to see you here.

Your new headmaster Albus Dumbledore

P.S. we are sending a professor to pick you up.

I dropped my bacon after I finished reading the letter. "What is it honey?" My mother asked me with a worried look on her face. "Here, read." I replied. Her eyes grew wide as she started to read, but then she broke out into a huge smile. "I am so proud of you, we always knew you were special." Mum said. I quickly stood up and started to run to the door. "Where are you going?" My mother questioned me as I pulled on my favorite galaxy patterned sneakers. "Next door." I replied as I was going out the door. "Be back soon!" She yelled after me before the door shut behind me. I ran as fast as I could next door. I rang the doorbell about 50 times and finally her older brother let me in. She's in her room he grumbled. I ran through the kitchen past her younger brother and sister, colin and bella. Bella called after me saying "can you do me hair again, please.", but I just ignored her running to Alex's room. When I saw her her eyes were wide opened in surprise and her mouth open with shock. I cocked my head to the as I was very confused. She seemed to know what I what thinking, as she pointed to the letter on her night stand. So I walked over and started to read. I realised it was the same letter I had gotten but addressed A. Bunny. "Well?" I said. "Well what?" She replied obviously confused."well? Get ready, we don't have all day!!!!" I nearly shouted."we?" She asked. "Yes we. I got the same letter, now get ready before the professor gets here!!" She nearly jumped out of her covers. She stared to get her clothes as I walked out of her room and into the bathroom. I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself. My wavy hair was naturally ombrè, so my roots were nearly black and my tips were blond. But I dyed an inch of my tips dark purple so they were no longer blond all the way through. I liked it. Alex soon called me back into her room. We started a conversation. "What do you think your mum will say?" I asked because I knew her mother was very proper. "I really have no idea." She replied. "If you want I can sleep over tonight so you won't have to face it alone." I said this also because her mom wouldn't go as hard on her if she had a friend over. "That would be quite wonderful." She said probably thinking the same thing. Then suddenly the doorbell rang.
