It Wasn't Even Love Potion!

Chapter One: The Letter

"Honey!"

"Yes Mom?"

"There's a letter for you in the mail? It's pretty strange considering it says where your room is in the house.."

"Oh my God really?! That's so cool!! Can I see it?"

"Sure."

I tore open the letter with excitement; not knowing it would change my life dramatically..

And this is what it said:

               'Dear Miss Nicole,

We are please to inform you that you have been excepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Below are the items you will be needing this year. There are to be found at Diagon Alley.

                                       Hoping All Is Well,

                                       Professor Minerva McGonagall'

And as this women said, there was a list below, but if the strangest things I have ever seen.

"Mom? What does all this mean? What is this? A wand, cauldron, witchcraft and wizardry?"

"Well Nicole I think it's time that I told you your father was a wizard. He died because one of his potions went wrong..

" So you lied to me? I could have learned more! Why would you lie and say he died in a car crash?! He most obviously didn't. But since I was 3 I wouldn't. know the difference that he didn't have any  injuries."

"Honey what was I supposed. to say? I waited until you got. your letter so-"

"Yea but what if I didn't get my letter mom?! Would you ever tell me?!"

"Of course I would! Baby I'm sorry.. I'm just so excited for you though. I know you'll love it as much as your father.."

"Yea I'm sorry I just want to know the truth from now on. Anything else I should know?"

"I will honey and no there isn't."

"Okay so can you explain a little bit of this to me? Oh! and aren't you a witch?!"

"No sweety I'm not. You're a half-blood. Which means a one wizard parent and one muggle parent. A muggle is a non-magical person by the way. So you inherited it from your father. But Hogwarts is a wonderful place according to your father. He wanted to be a teacher there so he could be there all the time he loved it so much. But he was trying to learn a new potion one day and.. Well.. So anyway Hogwarts is a school where a bunch of witches and wizards your age and older go to school to learn everything about it so you can have jobs and stuff like that and just learn about it! You stay there all year but you can come home for the holidays if you want to. Everything is really secret. You have to take a train there and Diagon Alley is hard to find. Muggles don't know about you.. Well unless they're in our family of course. You go there for 7 years and then you can do magic on your own and get jobs etc. Well I think that covers it.."

"Wow that's a lot to retain.. But I think I got it! So when can we go to this 'Diagon Alley'?"

"Well go tomorrow. I just have to ask some if your fathers friends were it is exactly so we don't waste time and get lost."

"Well I'm gonna go and  cry over the amazing-ness of this! I'll be down for breakfast when I'm done!"

"Okay sweetie."

I ran upstairs to my room and re-read the letter about 20 times to see if it was real. Witches and Wizards!? Come on! That can't be real. But it is..

After I sat there for about an hour just staring at the letter I decided I'd better get dressed and have breakfast. Mom made pancakes which are my favourite by the way.. After I ate, I decided to go for a walk. I have no idea why but I just felt like it. I feel like a new person, like I had a new beginning.. And a new beginning is an understatement to what my life would become at Hogwarts.
