Author: thebestweaponsarebooks Chapters: 1/? Rating: T (for now) Relationships: Beca/Chloe Summary: Beca finally get’s her much anticipated Hogwarts letter, this is my take on what her magical journey would be like, i’ve taken special amounts of time to get as much of the details right as I can but some things may be slightly inaccurate. Eventual bechloe but don’t expect it right away.
Beca’s Hogwarts letter arrived on her eleventh birthday just as she’d expected. She’d quickly become excited after recognising the iconic Hogwarts crest and seeing her name in emerald green ink on the envelope. Even seeing her name on the envelope made her happy, it was addressed to “Miss Beca Mitchell”, she noticed they had somehow known to use the shortened version of her name that she preferred, instead of the usual “Rebecca Mitchell” she frequently found on the rest of her mail.
Her initial excitement however was short lived, once her father saw the envelope, despite it being her birthday, and despite it being her choice, they once again had an argument about how she had chosen Hogwarts over Ivelmorny.
“So that’s it then?” Her dad said nodding towards the letter in her hand. “You really do believe Hogwarts is the school you should attend?” He finished with a slightly bitter edge to his voice.
“Not now dad, please, it’s my birthday, you haven’t even said happy birthday to me yet.” Beca almost pleaded, trying to avoid the inevitable argument.
“Well I’m having a hard time being happy for you Becs, especially when I think you are making a mistake.” He said while watching her sit across from him on one of the stools at the kitchen island. “Dad I can’t keep having the same argument with you, I told you I wanted to go to Hogwarts months ago, I’ve even booked my ticket to London to live with mom, I’ve sent most of my stuff over to her, I don’t understand why now, on my birthday, just because my letter has officially arrived you want to continue fighting over this.” Beca said beginning to loose her temper but managing to hide her frustration with a tightly clenched fist.
“Are you doing this to punish me for leaving your mom?” Her dad asked, still unrelenting on this topic.
“Oh, wow!” Beca finally exploded, “you honestly think this is all about you!” She shouted at him while practically launching herself off the stool.
“Well it’s the only reason I can think of.” He answered her calmly, which only wound Beca up more. “You are only upset about this because instead of going to the second best school in the world, where you work” Beca said with venom in her voice and pointed an accusing finger at her dad “I’ve chosen to go to the best school in the world, I’m just lucky that the best school happens to be where mom lives!” She finished and snatched up her letter and returned to her room in a fit of rage. “AND THANK YOU FOR ONCE AGAIN RUINING MY BIRTHDAY!” She bellowed down the stairs before slamming her door firmly closed.
