Janet laid everything she bought from Diagon Alley on the floor
of her room. Looking at them in disbelief, “I am actually going to live a life
where magic exists. Everything is going to be so different.” Jamet thought to
herself
A “Ping” from her computer knocked her of her daze.
Janet gets up and moves her mouse to resume her computer from
the screen saver, a message from Anna pops up on the screen.
“Anna!” Janet exclaimed to herself, “Gosh, I haven’t told her
that I am not going to Queen Anne’s anymore. Should I tell her the truth? Will she
believe me? I myself find it hard to believe, not to mention I have no physical
proof. I can’t show her the letter. Will she be able to accept that I am no
longer going to Queen Anne’s with her?”
Another “Ping” reminds her that Anna is still on the line. Janet
sat in front of her computer and reply.
Janet says:
Hey!
Anna says:
Hey, what have you been up to?
I have not heard from you for quite a while. How was the interview?
“The interview! I totally
forgot that I gave up the opportunity,” after knowing that she is a witch,
Janet had more or less forgotten about the on-goings of her muggle life.
Anna says:
Hello? Are you there?
Janet says:
Yup, still here.
Anna says:
Anyway, I’ve got great news
for you. I got the scholarship for Queen Anne’s too! I don’t know how it happened
but they called me the last minute asking me if I am interested; of course I am!
We applied it together and I thought I will have to take on odd jobs to help
pay my fees, since I was not shortlisted. Who knows someone gave up the chance
for the interview and it so happen that I was the first name in the waiting
list, so they offered me a chance and I got it!
Janet says:
Wow! Congratulations! I am so
happy for you.
Anna says:
Thanks! I’m assuming you got
it too, right? Your chances were high anyway. We are going to Queen Anne’s together
as scholars! I can’t believe this!
Janet says:
Anna… I am not going to Queen Anne’s.
“Gosh, typing this is so hard.”
Janet sighed.
Anna says:
What?! Why??? Why not?? You
didn’t get the scholarship?
Janet says:
I did not go for the
interview.
Anna says:
Why?? I thought going to Queen Anne’s is your dream? What happened?
Janet says:
It was my dream but I have to
go to another school.
Anna says:
What? How could you not tell
me this? We promised each other that we are going to Queen Anne’s together, no
matter what happens, with or without the scholarship. You forgot about that?
Janet says:
No, I remembered. It is a long
story.
Anna says:
I have time. Tell me, what
happened?
Janet says:
Let’s meet up.
Anna says:
Ok, half an hour at the coffee
shop.
Janet says:
See you.
Janet signed out from her
account, wondering if she should bring her wand with her.
