A Hogwart's Story: The Power Of Three

Chapter 1-The beginning

Sera watched the magnificent, looming castle come closer with her hazy deep violet eyes, a soft smile on her lips. She softly stroked the ends of her voluminous hair, blacker than the darkest night. Her skin, a mixed shade of apricot and sand. Her long dark lashes formed shadows on her enigmatic eyes. She slightly bit her lower lip as she stared out of the compartment’s window.

*scritch* *scritch*

The faint sound of a quill at work pricked her ears. Sera looked away from the scenery and laid her eyes on her two companions. Nicole Silverman was sitting next to her, writing on her pine green leather bound journal with her favorite eagle feather quill that spews out emerald ink. Nicole is one of Sera’s child hood best friends, she slightly shook her long blond hair as if ridding herself of thought, Sera compared the blonde to the brightness of a dandelion, and like her quill she had sparkling emerald eyes. She had a light complexion almost like Sera’s only with a tint of autumn brown. Nicole mouthed the words as she wrote them in her journal with her plump lips that forms a heart when closed. Sera then turned her heart-shaped face to Jeanne Pearce, who was sitting opposite of her. Jeanne is her other child hood best friend. Long flaming scarlet hair with vermillion curls fell over her shoulders; the more Sera looked into it, the more she thought it was on fire. Her hair reminded her of a muggle actress but she couldn’t remember the name. Jeanne had a porcelain complexion but with just a touch of pink. Her huge icy sapphire blue eyes moved as she read Lewis Carroll’s legendary literary work “Alice in Wonderland” She silently tucked behind her ear a few strands of scarlet. As if sensing eyes on her, Jeanne looked up gracefully from her book and at Sera, she slowly raised a brow and asked,

“What is it?”

Nicole looked up from her journal glancing from Jeanne to Sera, furrowing her delicate eyebrows,

“What‘s wrong Sera?”

Sera smiled and slowly closed her eyes and breathed,

“We are almost there.”

Nicole and Jeanne looked at each other and smiled, “Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry” was their final destination. The school they had dreamed about. The memory of the day they got their acceptance letters played in their minds,

They were all in the Silverman Manor that night in Nicole’s bedroom, reading magazines and laughed at each other’s jokes when suddenly three owls came flying in from an open window, a snowy owl with bright blue eyes, sharp talons and feathers that rhythmically fluttered like snowflakes landed on Jeanne’s crossed legs. She looked directly at Jeanne with a thin envelope secured on its beak. The next owl was a screecht owl with feathers that had different shades of brown and white and dark brown eyes landed on Nicole’s already raised arm with the same package as the first owl. The third owl was a great sooty owl, it flew in a black flurry, it flew so fast that it was already on Sera’s shoulder in second, shades of gray and black tainted it silky feathers, its round dark violet eyes fixed on Sera. The bird slowly nodded, acknowledging her master and friend, and in return Sera nodded back. Nicole smiled,

“Is this what I think it is?”

Jeanne scratched the snowy owls neck, the letter on her hand,

“It is from Hogwarts.”

Sera deepened her smile and looked at her owl,

“Thank you Midnight”

The great sooty owl softly rubbed it ear on Sera’s neck in response.

“I appreciate this Sienna, thank you.”

Jeanne quietly said to her snowy owl, the owl just cooed. Nicole scratched her screecht owl’s chin saying,
