Megan Cunningham

Backstory

I never thought I'd be here. I mean, sure, my grandmother is a witch. The best magical musician in Mexico, actually, and I've heard of Ilvermorny and Hogwarts and Diagonal Alley and all that wizardry stuff. But still...

You see my mom is a squib, and my dad USB about as muggle-y as you can get. My older sister went to a private tutor in Salem, Massachusetts for healing magic but, other than that, we didn't think there was any trace of the stuff in the rest of the family tree.

When I got my letter, I was over the moon. "Dear Ms. Cunningham, you have been accepted Inc Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as an international student". Imagine that! I thought it was another fake letter as a Christmas present. Everyone knows letters are sent out in the summer! And then I saw the owl - right outside my window - and thought that's maybe my Grandma was sending news from Cuernavaca. And THEN I read the rest of the note, the part where they were giving me extra notice to get travel plans together, the supply list, the signatures from the Assistant Headmistress. I knew it had to be true. My biggest dream had finally come true!!!
