My Last Laugh (A Hogwarts Story)

Chapter Two: Never Ignore A Letter From An Owl

"This must be a joke." I said as i stared at the letter in disbelief. "You better get down, Liam. Mum will be back soon."

Liam nodded and jumped off the first story roof onto the stratigecly places trampoline in the back yard.

As if on cue, mum turned onto Moon Court a moment later.

I returned to cleaning the gutters, wondering about the first letter i received. It seemed so legit, but so improbable. And what did it mean 'we await your owl'.

I snapped out of my mind and back to the present. I realised i had finished cleaning the gutters, so i climbed down the ladder.

I was so busy wondering about the letter, that I slipped on the 5th rung on the ladder. Merely center meters from the ground, i stopped falling, seemingly floating above the ground.

I floated for what seemed like a second, then i fell the remaining 5 center meters onto the ground.

The next morning, i woke to find three letters sitting on my bed. All were exactly the same as the one i had recived the day before.

I rushed into Liam's room and woke him up. After I showed him the letters and we decided to wait another day show mum.

As it was Monday, i didnt have any chores. At school, i spent the whole of lunch time reading about wizards and whiches.

Once the bell went, i hadn't found any useful information, so i headed to my next class.

That day when I got home, i found 12 letters stuffed in the mail box. I looked at each one, every one the same. I ran into the house to find mum.

"Mum, look at these letters." I handed mum the letters. "There all exactly the same," i said as she torn one open.

As I was about to speak, mum slapped my cheek. "how dare you waste my time with this nonsense. There will be no dinner for you tonight. Now go to your room, i dont want to hear another peep from you."

I hurried to do as she said. Once i was back in my room i did the little homework i had and went to bed.

That night i dreamt of what it would be like if this school really existed.

A majestic castle loomed ahead as i made my way to the front entrance.

As i open the wooden doors and step in to the entrance hall, i see a door leads to a large hall with tables, and a staircase that leads to where, I could only imagine.

Mum walks through the door and i am pulled for my dream.

"What is this mess all over the floor." I hear her screech. "Clean it up immidetly."

Mum pulls me from my bed by the scruff of my pjs. Under my feet i felt paper, a lot of it. The whole floor was covered in envelopes.

As she left the room i pick up one of the many envelopes from the floor. All exactly the same as every other letter i had received in the past couple days.

"This is getting ridiculous" i said to myself.

"What is?" Liam asked. He must have heard mum shouting and came to check on me.

"This is." I replied, brandishing one of the many envelopes. "Theres hundreds of them. All exactly the same."

"Maybe we should send one back. See if we get a reply." Liam suggested.

"Ok. After school."
