 'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters.'

"Emilia!" my dad shouted to me.

 "Coming!" I shouted back and put by book down. I hate when I start reading book and my dad always, and I mean always, disturbs me. I got up from the bed and walked downstairs to the living-room."Yeees?" I came into the room and almost bumped into an old man. "S-sorry, sir. D-didn’t see you there standing" I said and my face turned red.

"Don‘t worry dear“old man smiled. I turned to my dad.

“You wanted something?”I asked still being red.

“Yes. Professor Dumbledore is here to see you" my father answered me gesturing for me and professor to sit

"Eee... But I'm already in the school. Or are you a different kind of professor?" I asked sitting down.

"No. I am headmaster of Hogwarts" Dumbledore smiled.

"Eee... Never heard of this school."

"Of course you didn't. Hogwarts is a school of witchcraft and wizardry. And you are a witch."

"You're joking, right?" I asked raising my eyebrow.

"No, I'm not joking miss Rosewood." He smiled and suddenly he pointed some kind of stick to piano and it began playing. I looked at piano and there was nothing there.

"H-how did you do it?" I asked still looking at the piano.

"Magic" old man answered. Then he looked at me. "Now you believe me?"

"Yeah. I think I do" I smiled.

"Here's your letter" he gave me an envelope. "Professor McGonagall will be here in half an hour and will take you to diagon alley. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go. Good day miss Rosewood." He smiled at me, nodded to my parents and then he turned on his left foot and disappeared.

"Where did he go?" I asked my parents.

"You're asking us - muggles." my mother smiled at me

"Muggles?" I asked confused.

"Non-magical people."

"Ou." I said and looked at envelope.

"Go to your room and open it. We'll wait for that professor down here" Dad smiled.

"Ok." I said and run to my room. I sat on my bed and opened it. There was two letters. I took one and began to read" Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Headmaster:

Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

Dear Miss Rosewood,

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall Deputy Headmistress“I ended to read and then took another one. That was the list of books and items I'll have to buy. I looked at watch and saw, that I have ten minutes till McGonagall arrives. So I took my bag and put envelope in it. Then I grabbed my shoes and put them on. I looked quickly at mirror and then grabbed by bag and run downstairs. Right then, there was a knock on the door. I opened it and saw a woman, who was about fifty years old. Her hair was drawn into tight bun and she was wearing an emerald cloak.
