The Hufflepuff Journey - A Hogwarts FanFiction

Chapter Three

On the way home I thought about what might be wrong with my mom, how could a letter change my life? I saw Scarlett at the edge of the road. I forgot about her "Scarlett!" I yelled, but she didn't yell back, or even glance in my direction, she just turned a corner and I saw white smoke come from the ground, weird.

I went inside my house to find my mom already there, sitting at the kitchen table. "What's going on." I said wanting to get to the point. "Here." she said giving one of the letters a little bit of pain in her voice. I opened it, slowly. This was very important, this was going to change my whole future. I noticed the stamp, it was a crest split in four. I saw a badger, a lion, a snake and an eagle with a big H in the middle. I finished opening the letter and pulled out the parchment, it didn't surprise me this time.

My mom snatched it away from my hand. So many questions spun in my head, did that say witchcraft? Is this some kind of magic school? Who are Emily Golder and Neville Longbottom? What does it mean by owl? I was just about to ask my mom when "Now that you've seen it, you can go back to your room." "No, please just tell me something, I want to know about you and what this all means and-." "No." she replied with an angry tone. I didn't want to fight with her, I couldn't she always wins, so I went up to my room. I sat in my room trying to remember what the letter said but it was already slipping away. I thought, and thought, and thought about what this might mean. I suddenly remembered that tomorrow was my birthday, I looked at my clock 11:59 I silently waited for 12:00 to come, 3, 2, 1. "Happy birthday to me" I quietly muttered not wanted to wake my mother who was hopefully sleeping. I decided to sleep, I was just about to put my head on the pillow when "Stop, I have something to tell you, you-you'r-you're a witch Zoe.

*****

I tried to do the letter in fancy font but Wattpad did't want me to, so bold works.  Anyways, I hope you're enjoying my story so far! I've decided to just update whenever I finish the chapters I'm working on, so I should have an update 2-3 times a week as my chapters are quite short. 

Hope you're/you've having/had a wonderful day!
