Jodi awoke from a tapping on her dorm window. Opening her eyes, she took a deep breath, and sat up, looking out the window. Jeremy, her fathers owl, was outside the window. Behind Jeremy, Jodi could see the sun set just beyond the hills. The sunset lit up a large portion of the sky.
Opening up the window, Jeremy flew into the dorm, and landed on Jodi's bed with a large thunk. It was the sound that made Jodi realize Jeremy was carrying something very large. Closing the window, Jodi ran to the bed to see what Jeremy had been carrying. After a moment of inspection, Jodi realized it was a large book, covered in brown paper.
After un-tieing the book from the owls legs, Jodi unwrapped the package. It was a book about plants. Jodi read the note on the front page of the book.
Dear Jodi,
Your father's been reading our letters.
He brought this book for you last week.
I hope you enjoy reading it,
not that already don't have enough books.
~Mum.
Jodi closed the book, and spent a few moments waking herself up. She slipped her feet into pink loose runners. She placed a few colorful plastic necklaces over her head. She pulled her hair into two pigtails, and tied both ends with ribbons, one black and one pink. Jodi placed her new book into her handmade bag, and hung her bag over her shoulder. Jodi left the Hufflepuff dorms, and headed for the Rickety Pier.
The long walk did Jodi well. The fresh air filled her lungs, and brought a freshness to her. It made her smile to see green grass and blue lake. Reaching the Pier, Jodi sat herself down on the very end, as was her normal position. Her legs where crossed underneath of herself. She opened up her shoulder bag, and pulled her new book from it. The first chapter was on Abyssinian Shrivelfig.
