�Charlotte? Will you come down here please?�
Charlotte, who was sitting next to her window, daydreaming, looked up towards the sound of her mother's voice. She smiled, but went back to daydreaming, looking at 'Big Ben.' The look in her dark eyes was one of extreme contentment. She smiled, thinking of a certain boy at school. �Charlotte West! Come down here!� her mother's now impatient voice called, interrupting her dream.
As Charlotte ran down the stairs, her long black hair streaming out behind her, she called to her mother. �What is it Mum? Did my Hogwarts letter come?� As she got to the end of the stairs, she ran into the kitchen, where her very pregnant mother was standing at the sink, controlling the sponge and soap in the dishes. �Yes dear, Arlys just brought it. It's on the table.� her mother told her.
Snatching the letter from the table, Charlotte opened it hurriedly. Dear Miss West, the familiar letter started. Charlotte smiled, as one of her younger sisters, Katrina, younger brother, George, and father walked into the kitchen. �Is that you're Hogwarts letter, Char?� her father said, walking to his wife and kissing her on the cheek.
Charlotte did not respond. She had already been swept into another one of her daydreams. This one was about the start of school. Charlotte loved Hogwarts. She was one of the few now forth year Gryffindors there that loved learning. She was not quick to make trouble or to start a fight, and for that reason, her professors found her to be the 'model student.' Charlotte grinned. She couldn't wait for the year to start.
�Charlotte?� Her father's voice interrupted her musings. Her father laughed quietly. �Lost in another of you're daydreams, dear?� he said. Charlotte flushed pink. �Yes, Dad,� she said quietly.
�Char-Char? Does this mean that you'll be leaving again?� her younger sister, Katrina asked her, timidly. Charlotte smiled sadly. The only thing that she disliked about Hogwarts was that she had to leave her little sister, her favorite sister, for almost a whole year. Taking the tiny six-year-old in her arms, Charlotte nodded. �Yes, Rina. I'm leaving again... But I promise that when I come back, I'll have a surprise for you!�
Katrina smiled. �Goody!� she cried. Charlotte smiled, and looked over at George, who looked jealous. �Don't worry, Georgy. I'll bring something for you too!� His face lit up. �Yay!� he called.
Going back up the stairs, Charlotte was once again lost in a daydream. Picking up her best quill and wrote a quick letter to her friend Brian, who was also a Gryffindor fourth year. She smiled, thinking of the entire next school year with him... She couldn't wait for the school year to start!
