Notes: Well, I didn't know McGonagall to come to family's homes to discuss Hogwarts after the letter had been received..

Excerpt:

"'Dear Ms. Slate, we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September first. We await your owl by no later than July thirty-first.'" Kate lowered the paper. "Owl? What?"

The family looked vastly confused.

"Must be some sort of joke…." Dr. Slate said softly.

"Weird." Meghan said, taking the letter and flipping to the necessary equipment. "Dragon-hide gloves? A magic wand? A cauldron?"

"May I have a look?" Mrs. Slate asked tentatively. Meghan handed the letter to her mother. She scanned the letter then asked, "Who's Minerva McGonagall?"

Pop!

The Slate family leapt as… someone popped into the kitchen!

"Ah!" Mrs. Slate cried out, jumping out of her seat.

A rather severe looking woman stood before them, dressed in an emerald cloak, square spectacles, and a formal bun. Her lips were pursed as she surveyed the family.

"Who… who are you?" Dr. Slate jumped out of his chair.

"Professor Minerva McGonagall, deputy headmistress to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Kate's eyes were wide as saucers.

"Witches aren't real." Meghan said bluntly.

McGonagall's eyebrows shot up. "They aren't? Then what is Kathryn?"

"A human." Meghan sounded unsure and frightened.

"She's that too." McGonagall nodded.

"Kate's a witch?" Meghan looked awed.

Kate's mouth fell open.

"That explains a lot." Dr. Slate frowned. "Jane, remember the first time the nurse tried to put an I.V. in and the first three disappeared?"

"How could I forget?" Mrs. Slate smiled. "And there was the time she and Meghan got into a fight and Meghan's hair turned green for two weeks."
