I - The Letter

“Ava,” the eleven year old girl heared her mom's voice from downstairs. She stood up from sitting down on her couch reading and went out to say.

“Yes mother?” she answered walking down the huge stairs to the hall where her mother is standing and waiting for her.

“Dear,” her mother started. Ava gave her worried look. Her mother ruffled Ava's shiny long straight black hair as she stifled a laugh. “ Your letter just arrive!” her mother cheered handing out a letter which she hid in her pocket.

Ava stared at the letter her mother was handing. “What letter? The letter from Bretten Marrows?” she asked in confusion.

Her mother held her shoulder. “Even better dear.” her mother said. “Look!”

Ava took the letter from her mother's hand and stared at it. The letter read:

‘ To Miss Ava Aurelia Lennister
  4th Floor The Lennister Mansion
  Aurent Shive
  OXFORD

  Dear Miss Lennister,

         We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

         Please find a necessary list of books and equipment.

         Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31. ’

Ava was shock and all hyped up inside, but chose to keep a straight face as she look back at her mother.

“Are you not excited dear?” Her mother asked with a frown.

“I am but.. what if they won't like me? What if I make no friends? What if people hates me?” Ava said letting her thoughts out.

Mrs. Lennister caressed her daughter's hair as she chuckled. “Dear, you haven't started and yet you're already worried? Ava, don't be afraid of showing them who you really are. Just be you and you'll make friends. And besides, your brother is there to keep you company.” she said and smiled at her daughter.

Ava let out a sigh. “I'll try.” She said.

“Now dear, get change because we will be leaving for Diagon Alley in about five minutes.” Her mother informed her.

Ava nodded as she ran back to her bedroom with the letter.

“Here's our stop.” Her mother said as they arrived at the bricked walled entrance.

Her mother turned to her. “Now dear, I'm leaving you to collect the supplies yourself. Because once you get to Hogwarts, you will be standing on your own feet. I wouldn't be there. And I think it is better to start now.” Her mother clarified giving her daughter an encouraging smile.

“Okay mother, I'll see you in two or three hours.” Ava bid her mom goodbye as made her way to Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions.

“Be careful dear~!” Her mother said as Ava entered the shop.

Ava entered the fancy looking shop. It was filled with.. robes and dresses. There wasn't a lot of people since it was still seven in the morning.

She scanned the room and catch Hogwarts school uniforms in display. She neared it and recognize one of them.

The one with green and white scarf. Slytherin. Her generation go under the house of Slytherin during their Hogwarts years.

“I hate snakes.” she said joking to herself as she roam her eyes again.

Fortunately, a worker turn to Ava's direction and neared her with a smile. “Anything for you pretty girl?” the worker asked. Ava turned as she recognize the worker. It was a guy she usually see whenever she comes to shop with her mother.
