Shy- a Neville Longbottom fanfic (Slow Updates)

The Beginning

Every story must start with a beginning...
Or at least an introduction...
Right?
Well, my name is Darcy Shacklebolt
And I'm a witch...
-------------------------------------
The day my life changed (for the second time) it was a warm July evening. I was with my family, well, what was left of it, my uncle Jonathan, his wife Lucille and my cousin Ethan. We were celebrating my eleventh birthday, and just like the last years, it was cake. Not that I complained though, I knew my aunt put effort into it, and it tasted really good.

We were sitting in the kitchen table, calmly tasting the cake, when we heard a small thump at the door, we all grew silent and listened.
Thump
There it was again
Thump THUMP
My uncle quickly raced to the door and peeked threw the peep hole.

- I don't see anyone- he said while opening the door.

Suddenly, a snowy white owl came swooshing in and landed clumsily on the table. It had a letter in its beak.
My aunt let out a little shriek before getting up and swatting at the bird. The owl just evaded the swings and went from one side to the other, my cousin was laughing his head off, while I just sat there, motionless, surprised at the total change of events.
The owl was making a mess.
- WELL DON'T JUST SIT THERE HELP US OUT- my uncle yelled towards us, running towards the table and swatting at the bird also.
My cousin immediately stopped laughing as he saw the glare my uncle gave him and got up, taking the cake away before it received any damage. I got off my chair and tried grabbing the letter the owl was carrying, which ended up in the owl nipping at my fingers with his hard, sharp beak.
I yelped and retrieved my hand.

-Just everyone CALM DOWN!!- I yelled catching everyones attention since I hardly raised my voice, silence took over the kitchen.
I slowly approached the bird - It's ok, I won't hurt you- I softly said, trying to calm down the agitated creature. -Let me just... get this...-I said under my breath as I snatched the letter from the bird, before it attacked again.
As soon a I took the letter, the bird flew out of the kitchen and through the door that was left open.
- Well that was fun- Ethan said calmly, and we all just glared at him.

-What does it say?- my aunt asked as I scanned the envelope.
It had the appearance of an old letter, on the front it read
Ms. Darcy Shacklebolt
401 Lilypin road,
Birmingham, England
- It's for me- I said quietly. I slowly opens the letter, braking the seal it had.
I took it out, unfolded it and read:

Dear miss Darcy Shacklebolt ,
I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...
