My birthday

I woke up early this morning. It was about seven o'clock. I don't think anybody else was up. I got dressed. Then went to fix breakfast. I got down to the kitchen. Kessadra was cooking breakfast. I was surprised. She didn't cook often.

"Sit. Eat."

"Oh wow Kessadra this is amazing thank you."

"Well it's your birthday."

I'm so shocked. I sit down and eat. Silvia walks in and sits down too. I didn't get a happy birthday from either of them. I don't have to work or anything today. I'm going to be bored. My friends won't be here until 4 o'clock tonight. Silvia was leaving in a hour or so to go to her friends house. Kessadra was never any fun. It was so boring all day. The mail ran at 2:00. I opened my window , then went to check the mail. Nothing for me. Only mail for Kessadra and my dad. I went back up to my room and sat back on my bed. I continued drawing. I doodled when I was bored. I sat and drew. Then a owl flew to my window scaring me half to death. It had a note tied to a necklace. I took off the note slowly. I had my name on it. The owl flew away. I opened the note. Who sent owl mail? The letter was sent by a school. Hogwarts school of wizardry. It was a acceptance letter. I read it fast. When I was finished I couldn't believe it.

"URANDA! COME HERE FOR A MINUTE"

I ran to see Kessadra. I still had my letter. She stood there with my dad. He came home.

"Daddy! I can't believe your here."

"Of course I'm here. It's your birthday Uranda."

I hugged him. Then he gave me my present. It was a necklace. I loved it. I hugged him again. He saw my letter.

"What's this?" He asked about the letter.

"It's a letter. I got from a school. An owl delivered it."

"An owl. Well that's strange. What school?"

"Hogwarts school of wizardry. Isn't that awesome. Wizards"

He looked worried now. He grabbed the letter and read it. Now I was nervous. He seemed to shake his head like I couldn't go. I stopped smiling.

"I can't go? Why not?"

"Honey this school will be confusing for you. You don't know the whole story."

"Then tell me the story. I want to go."

"It will upset you. I'll tell you when you get older."

"I am older. I'm thirteen. Tell me the story. Please."

"Ok I think you should sit down. Ill tell you the story from the beginning." I sat on the couch. He sat beside me. "Ok what you don't know about your mom is she isn't normal per say. She is a wizard. I didn't know when I fell for her. She didn't tell me until you were born. Then she left. She moved away to America. I wasn't sure if you would turn out like her. With the magic stuff. I didn't have anyway of knowing. This letter makes those wonders the ifs and maybes true. This letter proves you are like her. You are a wizard Uranda. "

"I'm A Wizard. I'm magic."

"Yes. Things in the wizard world are different. Some dangerous. I don't think you should go."

"That's not fair. I want to go. If it was Silvia she would get to go."

He made me mad. I didn't mean to say that. He shook his head and said that wasn't true. I didn't believe it. I wanted to run to my room. He explained his reasoning. I argued with him. I might have eventually gotten him to at least consider letting me go to Hogwarts. He told me to go get ready for my sleepover. I did. Kessadra made popcorn and bought candy. I just changed into my favorite pjs. Then I set my room up. My dad knocked on my door. He apologized. Then he told me that him and Kessadra decided I could go. He said it would be a good learning experience and a chance to make new friends. I was so excited. I jumped up and hugged him. He laughed at me. I looked down at my sleeping bags in the floor. There were three laying side by side. For me and my two best friends. My dad left. I sat on my bed and just smiled. Then I heard the doorbell ring. I jumped up and ran to the door. They were here. I opened the door and Saraphina and Crystal came in. They had me presents. I opened the presents then we went to my room. I couldn't hold it back anymore. I told them about Hogwarts. They were excited to. Crystal said she received a letter last month , but didn't want to make us jealous. We had a wonderful night talking and laughing. We ate so much popcorn and candy. It wasn't until after midnight we fell asleep. We were watching a movie when we did fall asleep. It was a perfect ending to a perfect night.
