PLEASE,
PLEASE, PLEASE. Let the letter come. Please send the owl. I felt my wings
ruffling in frustration. I paced the room back and forth, back and forth. My
new kitten Merlin chased my shoe lace. I just can’t wait if it doesn’t come I
will be so depressed. I have already shown signs of magic.

Grrr,
grrr, grrr where is it. “Merlin what do you think is delaying it.”

“Mew,”
he said looking up at me, which meant my guess is as good as yours.

He
snatches my shoelace and starts to chew on it. I sat on my bed frustrated. Mum
said as soon as I got my letter we’d go to Diagon Alley and go shopping with Hermione
for our things.  Merlin became bored
with my shoe lace and began attacking the empty owl cage.

I had
sent out Featherstone yesterday and have been waiting on Hermione and Ginny’s
replies.

Just
then I saw a flash of brown and my tiny little screech owl fluttered in through
the open window. She was carrying a small package and an envelope. Great.

Then I
heard a loud hoot. I looked up and a large gray owl flew into the window.

I
squealed in delight. I handed the owl some of Featherstone’s food and it left.
I instantly knew it was the letter from Hogwarts.

In
emerald green it read. Ms. A Quincy, Pacing the floor, London, Attic. I used my
finger and pulled up the seal. Finally I have the letter I have been dying to
receive since I was six.

  Wow this is a lot of stuff great thing my father is a… I
can’t remember he has something to do with hunting down dark wizards. We have a
lot of gold. OH I wonder if I’ll meet him.

  Harry potter the boy who lived. Oh that would be so cool I
can’t wait to meet him. “MUM!” I shouted running down the stairs after scooping
up Merlin. I jumped onto their bed and grabbed mums arm.

  “Get up, get up I got my letter look,” I waved my letter in
my mum and dads face.

  “Alright little Lexi calm down we’ll go get Hermione and
head over to Diagon Alley after lunch,” Dad laughed getting out of bed.

  Mum started laughing too and I grinned. Hogwarts oh
Hogwarts I can’t wait to see you Hogwarts.

  Merlin who was now being chased after by my little sister
climbed my pant leg and looked twice his size. Poor Merlin. Hmm should I take
Merlin or Featherstone? I should probably take Merlin to be sure Myra doesn’t
torcher him.

  I picked him up and smiled, “Merlin pack your bags you’re
going to Hogwarts."

  “Mew?”
he looked at me questioningly. Which probably meant, you mean I can leave this
psycho girl let’s go.
