An article by Sean Riley
Portland, OR - Sat. August 18, junior Brynn Mende receives a package in the mail, declaring her admittance to Hogwarts.
"I just applied online. I didn't know it was for real," says Mende, a reader of the books since age 9. "I've been waiting my whole life for this to happen!" Although Mende is very excited to attend, she was angry that her letter didn't arrive by an owl.
"I thought it would be all glamorous with the owl sweeping in, but I guess that's only in the books," Mende remarks. The lack of the owl delivery could be due to the fate of Hedwig in the seventh book.
Although according to the seventh book, Hogwarts is closing, Mende received a letter in the package announcing Hogwarts' reopening for the 2007-2008 school year as a senior high school. The letter also disclosed information as to why Mende was chosen, stating "Brynn is a distant relative of Pomona Sprout and possesses magical powers that she is beginning to discover."
Mende claims she knew that something might have been wrong when the glass completely vanished on her fish tank and water flooded her kitchen. She also claims she can kill ants by saying "Avada Kedavra" but received a notice in her packet not to use it again in the muggle world.
"I am so excited that my dream is finally coming true," she says. "I already have money saved up for my broom!"

Wait a minute. No owl service may be due to Hedwig's fate? Do you have a source for this? Good journalists must have a source for everything :)

Nice, I would so love to go to Hogwarts. Check out my Hogwarts fanfic blog. I have used the picture of the acceptance letter from this post, but have linked it. If it is not alright please tell me.
