Late Bloomers?

"Wouldnt it be awesome if we were witches and wizards?" "Yeah. But we would be in our third and fourth years of Hogwarts already." "Still!" "But its too late-" "Dont ruin the dream Jane. Dont ruin the dream." Jane was the oly friend i had that liked the HP series too. Kirk and Ashleigh didnt like it too much. For one Kirk cant even read a book without getting bored or confused. Not that hes dumb, just has a slight ADD problem that is undiagnosed. So do most of my friends actually. I said good bye to Jane as i headed home.
I met up with some more of my friends on the way there. Well, actually, the ran up and group hug/tackled me. "Hey Riki, whats up?" Tyler was the dorkier of us, glasses and curly hair. Really short. Or we're all really tall. Doubtful. "Nothing really. Just walking. To my house. Which is right here. Bye." I waved as i ran down the hill, almost tripping on my way there. I sat at my computer reading Harry Potter stories on Quibblo and writing some stories for an hour and a half. Then my mom came and picked me up. I stay at my grandmothers until my mom comes to get me after school.
At home we saw an owl. It wasnt rare to see one, but this one looked different. It had something attached to its leg. "Mom! I think im going to Hogwarts!" I took the letter and patted the owl on the head. It flew away and i opened the letter. "Yup, im going to Hogwarts." "Sweet! Im going with you!" "No mom. This is not going to be like your plan for me for college." I packed my things in the house. "But, uh, how?"
"Joey." "You mean- he- i- what?" "Joey was a wizard." "He was a what now?" "You know. Howarts. Patronus. The chosen one. He-who-must-not-be-named. You're taking this really well." "Eh. I always thought i would go. But i thought it was when i was eleven. Not fourteen." "Late bloomer?" She shrugged. "Well, at least i dont have to go back to school next year." It was the start of summer. "Better tell Jane and everyone else."
I called Jane first, because she would understand better. "Guess what?" "I was just going to call you- Anyways! What?" "Im going to Hogwarts!" "Oh my gosh! I am too!" We did a little squeal over the phone. "Thats awesome! You'll be in your third year, and i'll be in my fourth." "But, why are we going so late?" "My mom said we were late bloomers." "Makes sense." "Im going to tell Kirk and Ash!"
I hung up after we said good bye and told Ash. She said she was happy for me and i was about to call Josh when the phone rang. It was Kirk and i picked up. "What did you do?" "Well, hi to you too." What did you do?" "How are you Riki? Very good, thank you James." "Its Kirk." "Fine. Krik." "Kirk!" "How about Captain Kirk?" "Whatever. All i want to know is how you trained an owl to drop a letter in my hands." "You too?" "So........ it wasnt you who gave me a fake letter?" "Not fake! Real. You, Jane and i are going to Hogwarts next year!" I didnt hear anything. "Krik?" "What?" "You wanna come over for cupcakes?" "Sure, sure." "Great. I'll call Jane."
I hung up and called Jane. "Well, i have to ask my parents. They'll probably say no." "Just put them on the phone." There was a pause. "Hello?" "Hi, can Jane come over for cupcakes. We need to discuss the whole Hogwarts thing." "Uh, sure, yeah. I'll bring her right over." "Great, thanks." "Bye." "Good bye." I hung up and turned to my mom. "Krik and Jane are coming to eat cupcakes and discuss Hogwarty type things!" "Ok. I'll get everything ready." I got comfortable at the table and giggled. "Hehe, Hogwarty, hehe." Mom rolled her eyes and the doorbell rang. "Come in Krik!" "Its Kirk!" "Just get over here and eat a stupid cupcake!" Kirk lived next door, so he didnt have far to go.
"So, what is Hogwarts again? Is it a book?" The door opened and closed again. "No, its a school in a book." "Hey Jane." "Hey. Wheres the cucakes?" "Right here." Mom came in with a plate of cupcakes. We all grabbed one each. Then my three sister and brother came down and grabbed one each too. "Scram little people!" "But-" "We has important things to discss. Scram!" They all trudged upstairs and we started talking. "How?" "Well, you must be muggle-born. The guy who made me was apparently a wizard, so im a half-blood, but Krik here........" "Kirk!" "Whatever. Your mother must have been a wizard, because she died, right?" He nodded. "So she couldnt have told you that she, indeed, was a wizard." "Why is it that you're only smart outside of school?" I shrugged at licked my icing off the cupcake, humming the Hogwarts Waltz.
"Did you know that i had to learn the song im singing in grade seven? It wasnt too hard either." "Thats nice i-" The doorbell rang and i ran and opened to. "Who are you?" Some guy was at the door, with a bunch of things in his hands. "Im your father." "Joey?" He nodded. "Mom! Theres some guy here claiming to be Joey! Is it him?" She came over. "That is him." She stared at him, shocked. "Why are you here?" "To give Riki some things for her years at Hogwarts." He came in, uninvited and sat between my seat and Kirk. I glanced at mom and sat across from him.
