It was a cold and stormy night, Viveka was reading letters from her friends. She only received two letters from her two friends. She read the first one:

Dear, Viveka.
How are you? Hope you're having a great day! Anyways, I will not be able to go to your sleepover or talk, I'm going on a holiday trip with my family for a month.
Anyways, stay happy!
Love, Stefanie

She was devastated but she was happy to have a friend like her! It was now eleven in the night, Viveka immediately went to sleep.

While Viveka was waiting for her breakfast to finish she had a daydream where Viveka got her Hogwarts letter. Her breakfast was finished and she ate her breakfast and as soon as she got up the chair, an owl was in front of the window and a letter in its mouth. Viveka's mum took the letter and read it:

Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31. Yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall Headmistress.

Her mum began to read the second page:

When Viveka's mum finished reading, Viveka screamed for joy. Her dad was confused in what's happening because he is a Muggle. Her mum began to explain to the dad of what's happening because she is a witch, making Viveka a half-blood. Her dad didn't approve of this and insisted that Viveka goes to a normal School that has no magic. Her mum in the other hand didn't approve that Viveka will go to a normal Muggle school. Viveka's dad ignored them after this.
