Alex p.o.v.

"ALEXANDRIA ELOISE GRANGER, HURRY UP!!!!!!!!!!" My twin sister, Hermione, yelled at me through the bathroom door. Her yells echoed around the quiet house, and I could have swore I heard the name 'Alexandria' repeat a few times while fading away.

"HOLD ON, HERMIONE JEAN GRANGER!!!!" I yelled in response, only to cause the waves of disruption to spread at a faster rate.  

We had just woken up and were having our typical morning quarrel consisting of me getting to the bathroom first while she yells at me to hurry up which was, of course, nothing unusual.

"Hermione I'm-- Hermione, where are you!?" I asked as I peeked my head out the crack of the white door. Usually she was waiting right outside the bathroom, ready to trample me to get to the toilet. It was strange not to see her there.

"I'm in the kitchen!" I heard her yell "Alex, you have to come see this!" She yelled excitedly.

This piqued my interest as it was normally me who got excited over incredibly trivial things. I ran down the end of the hallway, past a few family photos of Hermione and me. Then, I hopped down the wooden staircase, taking two steps at a time toward the kitchen.

I grabbed the wall so I wouldn't slide on the tile floor because of my socks. Suddenly, I saw  a feather fall to the spot on the floor I had been looking at. My breath caught in my throat as I stopped dead in my tracks. My eyes slowly drifted up towards a bird sitting on the counter. There was an owl-- an owl in my kitchen.

"Hermione why... Why is there an owl in the kitchen?" I asked slowly, afraid of the answer.

Suddenly a second owl flew through the open window, causing a small cry to come from my throat.

"Hermione, close the window before more come in!" I said quickly, starting wide-eyed at my crazed looking sibling. There was no way was she my twin. Nope.

"I don't think I should Alex." I was slightly shocked as I made myself go towards the window. Birds carried lice-- I did not want lice in my hair.

"Why?" I asked her as I grabbed the edge of the window.

"Because look at this!" She spoke excitedly as she shoved a paper in my face.

"I can't see what it is, Hermione!"

"Oh, sorry." She said as she pulled it away from my face slightly so I could actually see what it was.

It was a letter.

It was addressed to me.

I furrowed my eyebrows together as I read the address. It was from a place called 'Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry.'

My eyes flicked towards Hermione as she locked her own orbs on mine.

"What's Hogwarts?"
