Dippey's squeaky voice brought Nadia out of her peaceful slumber. She rolled over sluggishly, rubbing her eyes, though upon noticing the wide grin stretched across the House-elf's face and the yellow-tinged envelope clutched in his spindly hand, she quickly perked up. 

Jakob had freed Dippey a long time ago with a poorly knitted hat made by his mother. He gladly accepted the piece of clothing but stayed with the Dobrevas due to the love and care he'd been shown since Jakob himself was a child. Having played a vital role in the raising of Nadia when her parents were protecting the Wizarding World, the pair viewed one another as their best friend, forever having the mutual understanding that they would always be there for each other. That poorly knitted hat still sat proudly between his bat-like ears.

"What is that?" Nadia asked, hoping her tired eyes weren't deceiving her. 

The House-elf's grin grew wider as he pressed the envelope into her trembling hands, "Dippey thinks Miss Nadia knows exactly what it is."

She skimmed over the elegantly written words inked in an emerald green.

Miss Nadia Dobreva

Second bedroom, upstairs and to the right

Dobreva Manor

Just outside London

The corners of her mouth twitching, she slowly turned the envelope eyeing the blood-red Hogwarts crest sporting all four renowned house mascots. She took a breath and gently pried the wax seal from the envelope and took out the letter, absorbing every word.

 A huge smile crawled onto Nadia's face as she pulled a startled Dippey into her arms. She then swiftly threw off her covers, letter secured in her hand, and bolted out her bedroom and through the corridors in search of her parents, "Mum! Dad!"

Skidding to a stop at the top of the staircase which her confused parents were positioned at the bottom of, she waved the letter around wildly, breathlessly exclaiming, "It came!" Both Jakob and Katherine's faces broke out into bright beams as their daughter hopped down the steps into their outstretched arms.

"Of course it did!" Katherine chuckled, "How could my angel not get into Hogwarts?"

"I'm so proud of you, khlape!" Jakob praised, ruffling the girl's hair.

A small cough sounded behind the ecstatic family where Dippey stood with a stray piece of parchment. "Miss Nadia dropped this when she rushed out her bedroom. Dippey though to bring it for her, Master Jakob."

"Thank you, Dippey," Jakob took the parchment and patted him gently on the head. "Though how many times must I tell you not to call me Master?"

The elf shrugged with a sheepish smile, "It's habit by now."

They all shared a laugh before Jakob scanned the words written in front of him. "Hmm, seems a special visit is in order," he grinned. "We're going to Diagon Alley!"
