"Rise and shine sleepy heads there's a rather special gift in the mail for Ron and Lyra after breakfast!" I heard mum call (I know she's not my real mum but she lets me call her it and she's basically my adoptive mum so same thing.) instantly I knew what she meant.... MY HOGWARTS LETTER!
I ran down the stairs pushing past Fred and George in the hall."Wow there running like that would get you an hours detention at Hogwarts" Fred spat sassily. "yeah but who would even want to get to lessons that fast, the only time you run like that is from peeves" George joked.
"Well I'm hungry and want my Hogwarts letter" I said walking away. 'whose peeves?' must be a bully or something. If he is I'll be the one to teach him some manners.
"Lyra dear over here, I made you your favourite" mum said hugging my shoulders tightly. "Fried egg sandwiches?!" I said surprised. "Of course my dear its your favourite and its a big day today" she said leaving an envelope - with a large red wax seel in the middle of it - "Open it after you've ate" she snapped she must have smelled my curiosity.
"Ron deary pancakes are on the table, open your letter after breakfast" she said tapping his shoulders on her way up to the stairs.
"FRED, GEORGE IF I HAVE TO COME UP THERE SO HELP ME" she bellowed and just like that the pair of ginger nit wits ran down the stairs.
"Mummy where's my jumper?" Ginny said innocently.
"I-I - Oh - I think it was on the cat dear" Mum said sounding unsure of her own answer.
I had just finished wolfing down my breakfast when I decided to open my letter. I peeled away the red wax and opened it cautiously.
'Miss Lyra Black, I am pleased to tell you that you have a place at Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry, we await your owl no later than the 31st of July. Term starts on September the 1st, I have in closed a list of all the necessary equipment.
Sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall. '
I read in my head. Yes I can't wait to start at Hogwarts then maybe I'll be able to meet Harry Potter. No not because he's famous but because his dad was close to my dad and maybe we could have a friendship just like that.
"Right kiddos whats on your list of equipment?" Miss Wesley asked reluctantly. The Wesley's didn't have much money so I understood, she'd be buying for two as well.
"ummmm first theres Fantastic beasts and where to find them by Newt Scamander." I said unsure if I said it right. "oh Percy, Bill, Charlie, Fred or George never needed that in their fist year so I guess we'll head to Diagonal Alley."
