Unexpected turns

The weather was cloudy, but sometimes the July sun still filtered through the clouds. A girl who turned 11 exactly a week ago stood at the mirror and tried to comb her thick, light and almost white hair. Fortunately, all seven circles of hell were completed and the last tangled strand was safely combed. After breakfast, Amelia happily went for a walk with friends from neighboring yards. Like ordinary children.They walked all day until late in the evening, invented games, built huts, and rode bicycles. And now, after a whole day, it got dark. On this day they walked for an especially long time and sat for a long time chatting.for hanging out, in general, this is what usually happens. She decided to enter from the back entrance so that her mother wouldn’t get in the way. But it seems she had already figured out this trick and met Amelia on the ferry with a menacing face.Having scolded the girl, the mother sent her to her room. - and tidy up the table. Again she did something and didn’t clean up after herself. Entering her room, the girl began to clean. When suddenly she discovered a strange letter from… Hogwarts? Did her mom talk about this? But she didn’t do anything like that. She opened it and read it. Not understanding anything, she threw the letter away, thinking it was a joke. The next day oshe found the same letter again. This time she already went to her mother and told about him.The next day Mom didn’t understand anything either and said that it was just a realistic joke and to throw it away. Amelia did so and forgot about it. But that was not the case, the next day there was a knock on the.There was a knock on the door with the guys; they didn’t agree to go for a walk, so it’s not clear who it was. Amelia’s mom was so scared and rushed around the whole house, and Amelia stood aside and remembered whether she could have something like that. She opened the door with cracking hands. A giant with a thick beard and tangled hair stood on the threshold. “I’m sorry,” said the giant. - Who are you? , And what are you doing here? — I asked in a trembling voice. asked Mrs. Ertz. -I am the keeper of the keys at Hogwarts, Rubeus Hagrid, have you read the letter? — he asked looking at Amelia She was confused and squeezed out a cautious - Yes… - Why didn’t they answer once? Why didn’t you answer once you read it? Mom was already at a loss; it was impossible to bear this penetrating gaze. - Mmm, we thought it was some kind of joke - What kind of jokes can there be here — already more menacing.Hagrid said in a voice — In general, I’m behind schedule, in a week at 13:00 I’ll come for Miss Ertz. As they say goodbye. “Goodbye,” Amelia squeezed out, speechless from what happened. The next day, my mother seemed to have forgotten about what had happened and everything was as usual. Time has flown by and the week has gone by…Hagrid. Here is the long-awaited knock on the door. So she says goodbye to her mother and they transgress. The first thing she saw was a lot of shops, wizards in colored robes and much more. - Now we will exchange In fact, she didn’t understand anything, but she didn’t want to admit it. Then everything was like a fog in a joyful fog they bought robes, textbooks, other supplies and a wand she was lucky because Hagrid told her that most wizards take several hours, but she found her right away — a birch tree, and 12 inches of unicorn hair. Here she is at home, then everything went on as usual and now the first of September.At the table on the first of September she just sat and was silent in embarrassment. Amelia was even glad about this, she was thinking about school, about the guys, about magic, it seemed so wonderful.Here she is standing at King’s Cross station with her mother, waiting for Hagrid who was supposed to bring Amelia to platform 9¾. A giant appeared in the distance, it was hard to miss“I’ll miss you,” Amelia’s mom said. - Me too.

Amelia thought that it was good that Hagrid was leading her; she would never have guessed how to get there.
