"Well you shall buy all of this, then." Dumbledore chuckled. "Yes,that is a whole lot of books and stuff. It would take a lot of time to buy all of this." Natasha chorused. "Of course dear, it will. But, Alas! I cannot accompany you. I have got an errand to run." Dumbledore exclaimed.

"Such a pity, Professor." Natasha said faking a sad expression.

Dumbledore had an unsettling smile on his face,making Natasha ask him "Is there something bothering you,Professor? "

"Your clothes are very defiant, Natasha" Dumbledore smiled." Perhaps, like your personality" Dumbledore says." Your clothes tell that you are very futuristic ".

"That is a very peculiar thing to observe,Professor, I must say" Natasha said her voice lacing with amusement."Oh,of course it is".

Dumbledore reached into his robes and withdrew an envelope, sealed with wax. He handed it to her with a gentle but firm grip.

"This is your ticket," he said simply.

Natasha's brow furrowed as she took the envelope. "My ticket?"

"To Hogwarts," Dumbledore explained. "On September 1st, you will board the Hogwarts Express and begin your 5th year. Your journey there will lead you to the answers you seek. All you need to do is follow the path set before you."

Natasha's fingers trembled slightly as she held the envelope. The weight of it seemed far heavier than a mere letter or a ticket-it was the weight of expectation, of a destiny that she was only beginning to understand.

"Until we meet again, Natasha."

As Dumbledore disappeared into the crowd, Natasha stood there for a moment longer, the envelope heavy in her hands. A whirlwind of emotions swirled within her-excitement, uncertainty, fear, and anticipation. The future was no longer something distant. It was real. And it was coming for her, whether she was ready or not.

She stared at the ticket in her hands, the Hogwarts seal glowing faintly in the light.

September 1st. The journey begins.

With a deep breath, Natasha tucked the envelope into her robes and turned back toward the rest of Diagon Alley to buy her books and uniforms.Her journey had truly begun. And no matter what happened next, there was no turning back now.
