I woke up from the most peaceful sleep. I was dreaming about flying. I had these beautiful wings that could take me anywhere, but that's just a dream. Not reality. In reality, this is a perfect day. Today I turn 11. Being 10 was amazing but I always vow to make every year better then the last. It's a tradition in our family. Faith did it since she was 6. My parents started when they got married. I've done it longer than I can remember. Enough stalling. I make my way downstairs, feeling every bit as regal as a queen. I walk downstairs to a homemade cake mum made. Mum is the best cook I know. A pair of hands clamped around my eyes. "Guess who." They played. "Hey Faith." I struggled to get her hands off my face. "Happy birthday Promise." Faith smiled. I laughed and ran the rest of the way down the stairs. I looked at the cake. 11 candles! ELEVEN! I've been 10 for to long. I'm older now. Dad comes into the room and everyone starts to sing. I blow out the candles as everyone cheers. "What'd you wish for?" Faith pesters me. "I can't say. That way it won't come true." "Oh so it's something special." Faith smiles. I playfully hit her. "No." I object. "Oh I know what it is! You wished for a boyfriend!" Faith wiggles her eyebrows. "No. Ew! Boys are
gross!" I protest. "You only say that because you haven't really been with one before." She wiggled her eyebrows again. In actuality I wished for one if my paintings to be publicized. You see in our family we all have our strengths and weaknesses. We find our strengths when we are as young as possible and work on them from there. My strength just so happens to be drawing/ painting. "Faith." Father laughed. Faith laughed her tinkling laugh. "You only say that because you've had like ten boyfriends in the past year." I accused. "Eight." Faith corrected. It's true. Faith has had about eight boyfriends in the last year. She's quite popular and every boy would kill to go out with her. A knock sounded at the door. "I'll get it!" I announced. I ran over to the door. Our mailman Tom stood at the door. "Hey Tom!" I greeted. "Hey my little promise. Happy birthday." Tom is actually a good friend of our family. Our family is so welcoming that it's impossible to meet them and not become friends with them. He handed me some letters. "Thanks Tom!" I laughed. "Have a happy birthday. Okay. " "I promise." I smiled. "Alright, see you later Promise." He closed the door. I looked through the stack of letters. Restaurants asking for mums assistance. Some bills. All the same. Until I got to the fancy letter. It had a wax seal on it. I turned it over.
To: Miss. Promise Conoslino
The bedroom to the left of the stairs.
I froze and dropped the letter. "Promise?" Faith called. When I didn't answer everyone rushed to where I was frozen. Faith picked up the letter opened it and read it aloud.
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," Faith started. "Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Mum questioned, "Is this some joke?" "No Mum," Faith replied, "Let me finish now." "Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.
Dear Miss Consolino, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31. Yours sincerely, Minerva Mcgonagall deputy headmistress," she finished. Was this some kind of joke or was I really a witch? I thought that all witches have pointy noses and green skin. "Promise? Are you okay?" Dad asked. I didn't answer. "What does this mean?" I whispered, like I was scared of something. Everyone shrugged. I shook my head. "I don't even know how to get to Pigface or whatever it's called." I said. "Hogwarts." Faith corrected. I shrugged. "This must be a joke." Mum shook her head. "No, look. This is a real wax seal." Father shook his head. "This is real." I swallowed. I felt as if my whole world was a lie. Our family is no longer perfect. I realized. We were perfect. Now...I don't know what we are. Well, happy birthday to me!A/N:
So that chapter was a filler. Mooly wrote almost all of it I only did the letter *failed hair flip*
Also we found a sort of efficient way to update when we are not together so don't expect to have chapters coming regularly. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Vote. Comment. And follow.
Bye!!!
