Jasmine was woken early one morning, an owl sat on the top part of her bed hooting softly, she slowly sat up and looked around. There, at the end of her bed was a letter, she slowly reached over and picked it up, it had her name and address on the front, on the back it held the Hogwarts crest. She gave a huge smile, and jumped out of bed, she thought quickly about opening it, but decided she would read it aloud in front of her parents. She put her arm out to the owl, "Come on up, you deserve to good feed and some water." The owl stepped up onto her arm, and she walked out of her room and down the hall to the kitchen. The owl fluttered over to a nearby chair and Jasmine looked through the pantry, looking for some food for the owl, she found some and got a big handful, then gave that to the owl, then got a cup of water and also gave it to the owl.
The owl ate and drank quickly, then flew onto her shoulder, hooted a thanks and flew back towards her room to go out the window there. Jasmine then went back to her room and picked up the letter again, then ran to her parents room, surprising them, both sat up groggily and looked at Jasmine through confused eyes.
"I got my letter from Hogwarts!" she yelled, then quickly opened the envelope and began to read;
Dear Miss Slate,
  We are please to accept you at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy,  if you wish to come, the Hogwarts Train leaves Platform 9 and 3/4 at precisely 11.00am. Inside this envolope you will find an equipment list, and you like, an animal of your choice, either a cat, owl or toad.
Hope to see you, Albus Dumbledore.
"

Both of Jasmines parnets smiled, finally their daughter could become a fully trained witch.
"Well," her father said moments later, "we had better get that list of equipment bought."
And with a look from her father, her mother added, "Maybe we could also get you an owl."
Jasmines face lit up, Hogwarts, an owl o fher own....... her eyes filled with tears of happiness.
There was nearly a week till it was Jasmines 11th birthday and party, and 3 days after that she would be starting at Hogwarts.
Her parents had prepared a huge party, muggles friends mainly, and Jasmine had been forbidden to tell any of her muggle friends about going to Hogwarts.
"Some people just dont like the idea of witches or wizards." Her mother told her later that day, "You just can't trust them."
"Oh..." sighed Jasmine.
"Your father and I have had to adjust living like muggles, And its not very easy." Her mother frowned, "Being pure blood and living in a magical community for most of our lives, it has been hard adjustment for us both. We have taught you as much as we could about our world, and, well, we have been thinking.."
"Thinking what mum?" Jasmine asked, her eyes wide.
A smile flickered across her mothers face,  "That we should move back into the magical community."
"Really?!?! " Jasmine said sitting up straight.
"Yes," said her father walking in the room, "I have just had an owl telling me that Harry Potter will be starting at Hogwarts this year too."
"THE HARRY POTTER!!!??!!" Yelled Jasmine jumping to her feet, "THE ONE WHO DEFEATED HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED?"
"Y-yes, the Harry Potter." her fahter stammered, shocked by his daughters yells.
"WHERE IS HE NOW?"
"Ahh, London." her fahter answered.
"When can we go??" Jasmine asked sitting back down, her face slightly pink.
"What about your party?" her mother said.
Jasmines face fell, "we can leave the day after," her father suggested, " I can ask the Ministry for a bit of help."
Her father walked out of the room, and her mother followed shortly,.
