  I awoke the next morning to the sound of pecking on my window. Groggily, I stood up. I rubbed my eyes making my way over. "Ah!" An Owl sat staring my in the eye. Immediately I slammed shut the window. "Just a coincidence," I tried calming myself. "Oh no." Four owls sat atop a roof across the street. I shook my head, but sure enough they were real. "The letters."
With quiet footsteps I raced down the stairs. "No." I picked up the letters. "Two?" I sighed heavily. Ms. Wakefields door creaked open. Without hesitation I jumped up running into the living room.
I tossed the dreadful letters into the fire, watching them burn. "What're you doing?"
Startled I spun around. "I-I was cold."
"Alright. You seem awfully jumpy. Be ready in 15 minutes."
"For what?"
"Church." She looked at me like I was stupid. "It's Sunday."
"It's, Sunday?"
Ms. Wakefield walked away shaking her head. I followed her into the kitchen.
"There's no post on Sunday's right?"
"Are you sick?" She said feeling my forehead. "Cold as always."
I smiled my mouth full of pancakes.
"No change in appetite i see." She said walking away.
"Me? Never." My voice was muffled from the food.

I daydreamed through mass. Those letters. Why me? I was almost positive that I was a muggle-in fact I still am.
I listened to Ms. Wakefields beautiful voice as she sang with the church as mass closed. "Come on," she grabbed my hand pulling me out of the church before Jackie could talk to me.

    I rode my bike through the woods. I closed my eyes feeling the wind against my face. Dirt was sent flying as I came to a stop. The quite sound of a streams current filled the forest. I bent down, feeling the water run between my fingers.
  I glared at an owl that rested in a tree. I stood up shaking my hands dry.
"You know, if you're not from Hogwarts I look pretty stupid, but shoo! I'm not magical. Go spy on Jackie or something." The bird flew across the stream onto a branch over my head. I jumped back on my bike. "For the record," I kicked back the kickstand "I hate birds."
