"Wake up Liv." Groaning i rolled over and pulled my plush purple pillow over my head in a lame attempt to block out my mother. Every year on my birthday she makes me up early and takes me out to shop before we return home for a small family party, and every year i absolutely hated it. Not because of the shopping or anything more because they would try to make it a surprise.
"No, mom. I don't want to. I want to stay in bed." I hollered back when i noticed there were no retreating footsteps. Moments later my door hand jiggled before cold air swooped into my room... revealing my anerexically skinny mother, her natural blonde hair piled on top of her head in beautiful curls. She smiled at me slightly before stepping inside of my room and pulling the covers and my pillows away from me leaving my shorts and tank top clad body to freeze unless i got up.
Rolling my eyes is slipped off of my bed and glared halfheartedly at her before i marched into my closet and pulled out the cloths i had picked out special for today. Turning around i found my mom was gone, and so was my bedding. Groaning i pulled myself and my clothing into my joined bathroom, stripped down, and slipped into the running water.
I quickly washed away every ounce of dirt before i allowed the warm water to wipe away all the tension in my body. After a good five minutes i was releaxed enough to turn off the water, wrap a towel around my body, and leave the warmth of the steamy shower. Swiftly i dried off my body and wrapped the towel around my head before i pulled on my under cloths.
Pulling on my red sweater and jeans i heard slight arguing from downstairs causing me to pause.(http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=142829842) all i could make out was she needs to know and she is eleven today. Confused i slipped on my socks before i raced down the stairs as quit as possible and behind the wall separating the Living room from the kitchen.
"Peter she needs to know... it's not like it was a secret between the two of us. She is becoming more and more aware of it everyday. just last week she got so mad at the kid across the street that she caught the bush on fire. She needs to know, she needs to learn to controle it and Hogwarts is the best way to do it." The whole bush thing was an accident. Molly Day was pushing me calling me a freak.... So i screamed at her and then all of a sudden the bush was on fire. For all we know it could have been Molly.
"Heather i agree but it would be better for her to read the letter than us tell her. It's the only way." At that moment i decided to walk out from behind the wall and into their eye sight. Mom's eyes wen't wide and dad looked surprised but not.... surprised.
"What letter?" I asked. Mom sighed and dad walked over and handed me a cream colored envelope. It was really thick and slightly heavy making me wonder what was inside that could make it so heavy. Silently i flipped it open and tearing the seal off and pulled out three things. A list of things i'd never seen before, a letter addressed to me by last name, and a seemingly empty pouch made of velvet the color of violets.
I decided to focus my attention on the letter, which was the same cream color and weight of the envelope it had been residing in. It read:

I stared open mouthed at the letter shock written across my face. Me.. a witch. From what i have heard from the Dudley Dursley magic is rubbish and no smart person(unlike his cousin harry according to him) should believe in it. Shaking my head and turning stoic faced i looked up at my parents only to see a look of complete seriousness.
"Am i really a Witch mom, Dad?" I asked as i shuffled in my spot. My dad nodded his head but my mom crouched down to my height.
"We're sorry we didn't tell you when you first started to get powers. We were informed by The minister of Magic not to tell you until your letter came in. So... now that that is out of the way... which would you like to do first. Birthday shopping for school shopping?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAzuA2m5Ou0q
