So You Want To Go To Hogwarts? by Hijja (PG-13)

Why this must be read:
Because who hasn't thought about what it would be like to go to Hogwarts? To receive a letter on your birthday, go to Ollivander's and buy a wand, sit under the Sorting Hat and finally after all those years of internet sorting house quizzes (don't lie, you know you took them!) get sorted into Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. But even though we've all daydreamed about it have any of us really taken into account the more sinister elements of the Wizarding World? This dark tale is a real eye opener and will stay with you even after the final words on the page.
So you get your Hogwarts Letter one cloudy morning, accompanied by the ominous flap of retreating owl wings. Of course, you don't know it's an owl. You open the envelope, scan over the parchment with knitted brows, and look for the accompanying advertisement for a new magic-themed adventure park. It's missing. Those PR-buggers really are as dumb as their reputation. You throw the crap in the bin.
Next comes an ominous visitor one late evening, a strange fellow with a cloak and too much beard, who talks in hushed, serious tones to your parents in the living room. Of course you eavesdrop. Many words are spoken, about magic, rare gifts and great opportunities.
The folks seem not particularly thrilled - there's Aunt Ernestine's provision for your future education at a good university to consider - she probably won't shell out for an MA in Applied Magic, despite her membership in the Theosophic Society. They want to present you to the acquaintances as a future doctor, barrister, dentist, whatever. Even a lowly accountant would be more respectable than a... wizard?
But the old-timer keeps talking and talking and finally they seem to come around. Heck, he probably put a spell on them, or it was the only way to shut him up.
The next day they tell you about it, leave the decision to you, actually. Smeltings Public School for Boys, or Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? Hell, you're eleven, you read too much, dream too often and you really don't have friends to speak of. What would you choose? Yeah, me too!
