Well, What if I dont want to be a Witch? (On Hold and Un-editted)

Chapter 1- The Letter

Chapter 1- The Letter

*Jessie J- Do it like a Dude*

I groaned and turned onto my side, searching blindly for my BlackBerry. When it silenced, I groaned again as my mother blew open the door to my room and tip toed (loudly) to the edge of my bed.

"Chelsea, wake up sweetheart, you have mail" Mum whispered.

"Whaaa???" I croaked as I sat up gingerly.

She passed me the letter carefully, watching my expressions. I took it. It looked old, like it was sent staight from Victorian Times. It was addressed to me in emerald green ink. i flipped it over to find a red seal showing a crest of some sort. I broke the seal and took the letter from within.

Dear Miss Adams,

I am writing to inform that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School for witchcraft and wizardry. We are sorry for this being so late, but you were overlooked as a records have only just been updated

School will start on the 10th September, as the castle is still in need of repair. This will give you plenty of time to collect the equipment you need.

A school prefect will be coming to your house quite soon to help you.

Signed,

Proffesor M. McGonnogall

Headmistress

I read and re-read it many times before it sank in. Me, and witch? I glance up at my mum and searched her face; she was such a bad liar she was never able to pull a prank this big. Maybe she can, because there is no way I am believing this!

I laughed aloud and patted my mum on the shoulder and jumped out of bed- throwing the letter in the bin. "Nice try mum- Im not as gullible as you know!'

She dived to my bin and fished out the letter. She looked at me and I saw the truth ring in her eyes. My smile dropped and looked at her questioningly.

"Your father was a wizard.I'm something they call a squib- I was born without magical powers. We grew up the muggle I mean normal world because I thought you would be like me. You must have got your powers from him. Do you remember, when you got angry at that boy for cheating on you and he grew warts and spots right in front of your eyes? When you told me I just knew. So I contacted Hogwarts straight away and they said they would accept you- even this late. Please Chelsea Im telling you the truth."

So many thoughts swum around my head. Things seemed to make sense. My mother never lied. I had never seen either of my grandparents- I thought that my mum ran away from them with me and built a seperate- never did I think that she ran from a completely different life.

"So whats going to happen now?" I manage to say out loud.

Mum swallowed and said "Well, some people are coming to speak to you today- just routine- and then in 2 days you will be off to Hogwarts." She began to walk out but stopped and turned round. She looked so young when she looked at me. "Im going to miss you" She left me to my own thoughts.

A Whole New World- waiting to be discovered.

I sighed and got changed, for once not bothered about what I wear. I threw on jeggings and a white hollister top with a checked shirt over it. I finished the look with my working boots and my long wing necklace and a creme beret. I went for the natural look with the make up, with some light concealer and nude lips and eyes, with one line of liquid eyeliner framing my eyes.

With a sigh, I left my room and went to the kitchen. I had lost my appetite so i took a probiotic milkshake, kissed mum goodbye and left for work. It was still the school holidays. I decided to meet with my friends today; and tell them that Im leaving.

I walked into Hollister and started to work.I sighed; this place was like my second home, I loved working here. This will be the last time I see it.

I plastered on a warm smile, which looked so real even i nearly believed it, and started to work.
