There was a knock at the door. Elizabeth listened hard as her mum opened it. After a few seconds, she heard her mum call for her. “Eliza! There’s someone here looking for you!” she said. When she came to the door she saw an old man in purple robes, with long white hair and beard and piercings blue eyes standing at the doorway. “May I come in?" He spoke in English. That surprised both Elizabeth and her mother because they haven’t been meeting good English speakers in ages (their country, Croatia, was at war, you see) but since were they both great at the language, communication wasn’t a problem.
“My name is Albus Dumbledore, and you must be Elizabeth, how are you doing?” He asked
“I-uh-alright I guess…” she answered
“You must be wondering why I’m here.” He said “and I’ll explain it in a minute, but first, where’s the rest of your family?” he asked.
“Crystal! April! Come here!” Elizabeth’s mum called for her two younger sisters. “I wish I could call my husband here too, but he’s fighting in the war.” She explained sadly.
“Oh… then I shall fetch him right now!” he exclaimed.
“But! Wait! You- where’d he go?” Mrs. Browser tried to stop him, but he… disappeared?
There was a quiet bang and that old man appeared in front of them, holding a very confused Mr. Browser by his arm. Everyone rushed to hug him, but they were still very confused and frightened “Perfect! Now that everyone is here, I can explain some things to you.”He told them about how Elizabeth was a witch! About how she could study at his wizarding school called Hogwarts because Croatia is at war so she’d be safe at Hogwarts in The UK. The Croatian wizarding school, The Wizarding Academy of The Castle Eltz, wasn't safe yet. They were moving all the students to other schools, but mostly in Italy, Spain, and France. Elizabeth would be the only Croatian person in Hogwarts.
“So… do you want to come to Hogwarts, Elizabeth?” he asked.
“I can’t. I’m sorry, but I can’t leave my family here…” she said
“Don’t you worry! We’ll keep your family safe! I will give them the greatest protection magic can produce!” Dumbledore announced to her.
“Really??” she looked back at her family, her parents nodded and her sisters gave her a thumbs up each. “Okay then! When do I leave?”
“I will come tomorrow, you pack your things and say goodbye to your family, you will see them again in a year, but you can write to them anytime you want! Our post is delivered by owls.” He told her and left.
