I sat at my window staring at the setting sun, I pulled out my sketch pad and started to draw what I saw out the window, I drew the the trees and the soft snow laying delicately on the frosted grass. A storm was starting to brew outside as the light pale white clouds grew dark. I was adding more detail to the mountainous background using my eraser to lighten my strokes. My mother walked in "honey their is a letter for you" I walked to the door where my mother stood, she handed the letter and I stared at her "open it" she said, I tore the light yellow parchment open and I pulled out two separate letters. I read the first letter

My mother teared up I didn't know what was happening, I was a witch. I can use magic, I can protect my Mother from danger, I knew I would like Hogwarts.

"My baby finally learning magic..." she trailed off I hugged her 

"I will be fine" I reassured her. She hugged me tighter like I would disappear is she let go. 

"My little girl is a witch..." after Dad left mysteriously when I was a year old, my Mother wouldn't let me out of her sight. I wasn't allowed outside and I was home schooled, and I didn't have many friends.

"I will take you to Diagon Ally tomorrow" she said calmly to me wiping away left over tears

"I love you Mum" I said to her

"I love you more baby." she replied.
