Chapter 1 Finished

Gwen

In the Months since the visit things had gone from bad to worse. At first her parents had been screaming about how this was a bad joke. But as time went on they began to believe it might be real.

" What if this gets around to our friends?" Her mother whispered " I was thinking the same thing I don't know if I could live that down." her father replied.

"Is there a way to get magic out of people?" screamed her mother " I don't know let's just keep her in her room till we figure out what were going to do." And at that moment Gwen was sent to her room and told to stay there and to not come out unless she was called. I always thought being magical would be fun but it just seems to cause problems she thought quietly to herself as she closed her bedroom door.

Later that night Gwen snuck out of her room after she was sure her parents had gone to bed. She crept out of her room and down the stairs to find something to eat.

 There on the counter sat a note in her mother's hand writing, Call the Saint Catherin's mental hospital tomorrow.

Gwen's mouth dropped in horror, she knew what this meant she had watched enough TV and movies. That was a place for crazy people.

 My parents think I'm crazy and are going to send me away!  

The whole room started spinning she had no idea how she made it back up to her room. What do I do? was all she could remember thinking as the night took over.  

Gen

Gen had hid the letter for several months. Eisa came back several times and Gen kept telling Eisa that her parents we still thinking about it. When in all actuality she hadn't told them because she knew it would end badly.

But one afternoon about two weeks before the first of September things got real bad for Gen.

"GEN COME DOWN HERE AT ONCE." her mother yelled, Gen ran down from the safety of her room, wondering what could possibly  need cleaned now.

" Gen your father and I have decided that you need a better school".

Gens heart skipped a beat were they going to send her to Hogwarts? " Gen we are shipping you off to a boarding school at the end of the week" her father said with a smirk.

Gens heart sank further than it ever had before, " A Boarding school! Why? Can't you just let me pick the school I want to go to!" Gen shouted. " And where is it you want to go?" he said looking down at her.

"Hogwarts?" Gen said regretting opening her mouth. "Where?" he asked " It's a school for witches and wizards." "Gen you have been reading too much again." her mother said in a mocking tone.

Gen just stood there her life had been chosen for her she had nothing more to say. " No response? Typical Gen, now go to your room you may as well enjoy your last week of play time."

And at that Gen ran up the stairs and threw herself on her bed tears streaming down her face. She reached her hand under her pillow and held her letter in her hand.
