...
My mind drew a blank and I completely froze. Nothing made sense to me in that moment and a gazillion thoughts raced through my head at an alarming pace. I felt dizzy and stopped holding one hand at the side of my head and paused.
Let's rewind back to the time when the shock first hit me.
It was a beautiful morning, I was up with sun and cherished the chirping birds as I cheerfully made my way down for breakfast. I greeted dad, mom and Hawthorne - my lil' brother before heading to pick up the mail. I tenderly picked up three envelopes. The first two addressed to my dad and the last one looked a bit odd.
At first I paid no heed to it as I congratulated my dad on his promotion. My father, Dudley, worked as a doctor as he felt that since he brought so much pain to not only my Uncle Harry but all the others who he bullied in the past and he felt that he should correct himself by helping others heal their pain. My mum on the other hand, with her fiercely independent nature, worked as a Lawyer and it did suit her quite well as she was never afraid to speak her mind. I truly admired both my parents and I was quite proud of them too.
The second letter was written in scraggly handwriting and I recognized it at once- Uncle Harry.
"Oh My god!!! I'm so excited!!!!! Lily, Albie and Jamesie are visiting!!!!!" I squealed happily as my mum just shook her head and laughed at my excited demeanor.
"Relax Jane, Calm down. What's that third letter in your hand Jane?" she asked me bringing my focus back on the soft parchment.
There was an odd seal of an 'H' surrounded by four animals: a lion, a snake, an eagle and a badger. I turned it gently and gaped at the accuracy in awe. They knew my room and it's exact location. I opened up the envelope and I was about to start skimming through the letter when the door bell rang. I went to answer it and opened the door to reveal a woman with long back flowy hair and a kind smile.
She wore a pointed hat and robes and politely asked, "Jane Dursley?"
I widened my eyes in surprise and furrowed my brows before nodding meekly.
She smiled kindly before asking, "May I enter?" I allowed her to pass and my parents stood there behind me a little distance away. We all gathered in the living room and my mum returned with a cup of tea for the anonymous woman.
We sat for a whole minute before the woman began by introducing herself, "I'm Professor Dover and I'm here to tell you all about Hogwarts, Jane why don't you read your letter and I can clear out everything you don't know afterwards."
I did as she said and started reading it loud and clear.
"HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY
Headmaster: Minerva Mcgonnagal(Order of Merlin, First Class, Survivor of the Battle of Hogwarts)Dear Ms. Dursley,We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

[Deputy Headmaster]...Professor Dover.. does this..does this mean I'm going to go James, Albus and Lily's School??!! Am I going to learn magic..? for real???!! Will Hawthorne be allowed to come??!! I don't wanna leave him..."
She chuckled and said, "wow you took that easily, I guess they must've spoken about it a lot.. ?Yes you will all be in the same school however they'll join after a few years when they turn eleven. Yes Magic will be learnt and it's all pretty real not a dream and as for your brother I'm not really sure but I guess we'll just have to wait and see won't we?"
"yeaa...I guess"
The day went on and soon the initial shock that overwhelmed me eased out as she explained each and every little thing about the wizarding world, it's history, Uncle Harry's significant role in saving it...some incredible knitter called.. Ellie? who magically saved the world by knitting and lots of other people.
"so.. Jane, Would you like to go shopping with me or..?"
"With you" I nodded excitedly and puppy eyed my parents, "Can i please please please go???"
They sighed and readily agreed so we packed and headed out the door.
"So we're done buying everything except.. " she read through the list again and said, "your wand" she looked down at me and smiled before we headed towards the wand shop and through out the trip i was sure she had the patience of a saint because I continuously pestered her with so man questions which she readily answered saying it was normal to be this curious as I was new to it all. We returned home to a pleasant surprise and it seemed the Potters' were just as surprised to see me with Professor Dover.
"OH OH OH HI Uncle HArry!!!! Guess what?!!?!! I'm going to Hogwarts!!!!! Isn't that cool?????!!" I said and thankfully everyone, as expected, had an amazingly positive reaction. We all enjoyed the night and James and Albus showed me all the wizard sweets they got from their home and told me all they knew about the wizarding world. We played really cool games like exploding snap and wizards chess.
It was an amazing day and I couldn't wait to board my train!
