Ella's POV:
*

July 29th

I woke up hearing my mum scream my name from downstairs, “Ella!” “ELLA!”.

“What!” I groaned, “Theres a letter for you down here”.

I rolled out of bed and stumbled downstairs and into the kitchen. I picked up the letter that was sitting on the counter beside a dirty plate and a cold slice of toast. I noticed an interesting wax seal on the back of the envelope. I examined it more carefully and saw that it said “Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry”. y”. “This must be a joke” I whispered under my breath. I ripped open the letter and read it aloud.

Dear Ms. Harris
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.
Yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall

“Mum?” I called, “Yes sweetie” She replied. “Do you know what this is about?” I asksd .

She looked at the letter and gasped. “Ella I can't believe this”.

“ You know about this?” I asked.

“Well yes” She said “I mean I'm not a wizard, nor is your father, but when my brother Steven was eleven he got one of these letters. We were all so proud of him, I was a bit mad that I didn't get one of course but I was still very happy for him”.

“So this is real?” I asked smiling. “Yes honey, Oh I'm so proud of you” she exclaimed while hugging me “You must go get your supplies immediately, go to Stevens and bring your letter with you, He'll sort everything out for you”. “Brilliant, let me go get dressed and I'll head over”.
