(hogwarts acceptance letter)
(29th June 1983)
IT WAS Caitlin's eleventh birthday and to say she was excited was an understatement. She got up early and woke up the Monroe house.
"Caitlin dear" Alaina paused and looked at the clock. "It's only seven in the morning" Caitlin smiled.
"I know" she said softly "I woke up an hour ago" Alaina raised an eyebrow "you did?" She asked her daughter.
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep anymore" she said "and where is Ryan?" Sean came down from the stairs.
"Still asleep" he yawns "as should you" he told his youngest. "But what happens if my letter comes and—"
"—Sweetheart it won't come until after twelve" Sean tried to reason with his youngest child. "The birds for Merlins sake haven't even woken up yet" he said looking outside the kitchen window.
"Let's all go back to bed" he said. Caitlin nodded her head, she never like fighting with her father and for a good reason—Sean Monroe was a very stubborn man and so there's no point in fighting with him.
"Okay" Caitlin whispered and got up from the kitchen chair and walked back to her bedroom getting back into her bed.
Alaina glared at her husband "what did I do?!" Alaina never answered him and went back to bed.
He sighed and went to his room, "Alaina, sweetheart what did I do wrong?" He asked her. "It's your daughters birthday" was all she said.
"Yes, I know" Sean said, Alaina sat up into a sitting position. "What were you like on your eleventh birthday?" She asked him.
"Cause if I remember your mother tell me that you were the exact same. You woke up early and an hour later you woke up the whole house!" Sean nodded his head and got out of bed.
Alaina smirked and laid back down, closing her eyes and going back to sleep. Sean knocked the door to Caitlin's bedroom.
"Come in" Caitlin said and sat up, "Hey, sweetheart" Sean started. "So I know that your excited to go to Hogwarts but you have to remember that not everyone is an early bird like you " Caitlin smiled.
"Like you?" She asked him "even though you kinda have to be?" Sean laughed "Yes" he told her. "I'm getting too old for training" he said and sat down on her bed.
"Your letter will come, I did the exact same thing as you. I woke up early and everyone in my family. Of course since I was the youngest they all got up but my letter never came until after lunch" he said "and I was up since half five" Caitlin laughed.
"Go back to sleep and then your letter will come" he said and kissed her head "Okay" she said and laid back down.
Sean smiled to himself and went back to his room. He laid down on the bed and closed his eyes.

It was now twelve and the whole Monroe household was up. "Is it ok if I can go to Bill's tomorrow?" Ryan asked his parents, Alaina nodded her head.
"If it's alright with Molly then yes you can" the mother said "now eat up—" Then someone knocked on the door.
Sean got up off his seat and walked over to the door, Caitlin was anxious to see who it was. Sean opened the door and smiled.
"Hello, Professor McGonagagall" He said, Minerva smiled back "please, Sean call me Minerva" she said "can I come in?" She asked him, Sean nodded his head.
He welcomed her into his home and they walked into the kitchen. "Alaina, it's very nice to see you again" she said and then looked at Ryan "you ready for the cup this year?" Sean laughed at his former professor.
"Yeah, and I'm sure that Gryffindor is going to win!" Ryan said "and I can help them go success!" Minerva nodded her head "Yes you can" she said and then her eyes fell on Caitlin.
"And this is the infamous Caitlin" she said, Caitlin nodded her head. "Dumbledore told me that you couldn't wait to get your letter" the professor told the young girl.
"I cant wait to go to Hogwarts!" Caitlin said excitedly. Minerva chuckles "your dad said the same thing" Minerva said and walked over to Caitlin.
She pulled out the girls letter from her pocket "this is for you" she said and handed the young Monroe her letter.
Caitlin studied the letter, she smiled and carefully opened it. She read the letter with a smile on her face.
