Chapter Text
All my life I've dreamed of an adventure. One where the stories I read come alive. Where magic exsists. Never did I believe that my wildest dreams would come true.
It all started with a letter. That fatefull letter that told me just who I am in this world. A witch.
Dear Ms. Capello,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1st.
Yours Sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
Could it be true? I can't trust this piece of paper in my hand, for it could be a joke that wishes to crush me in my hope of a life full of adventure.
I threw the letter in the trash in my room and went to eat.
"Good morning." My mother said as I sat down in the kitchen.
I simply waved and continued to get a glass of OJ. After eating my fill of pancakes I continued to get ready for the day ahead.
As I finished brushing my teeth I could heard the doorbell ring.
"I GOT IT!" I yelled across the house to my mom. Expecting it to be one of my friends I was disappointed to see anyone but.
In the doorway stood a lady dressed in green robes and her hair in a tight bun. She looked as if she came out of one of my books.
"You must be Hayley, yes?" I nodded.
"Who are you?" My mom asked from behind.
"My name is Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I suspect you got your letter Ms.Capello." Again I nodded.
"Letter? What letter?" My mom asked.
"My acceptance letter." I muttered softly. I ran off to my room and pulled the letter out of the trash. Once back in the living room I handed it to my mom. She read it over quickly and looked at McGonagall as if questioning if it was real.
"This isn't a joke is it?" I asked forcefully.
"No certainly not. Your name has been written done in our book since the day you were born." McGonagall informed us. Magic.....It's real.....
"Where is this school? How is she to get there?"
"Hogwarts is in England and she will be able to get there by the Hogwarts Express." McGonagall explained. She then gave us detailed instructions on how to get to the train and where I'd be able to acquire my supplies. It took some time for my mother to believe what McGonagall was saying but after a flourish of her wand my mother believed and I was amazed.
A couple of weeks later I found myself walking along Diagon Alley obtaining my supplies. School now starts in a few days. My adventure begins....
