before I explain how awesome my secret santa is and what I received, I need to give you all a little back story first.

I've known I was different since I was very little. the normal muggle children would sit in circles playing games called "duck, duck, goose" and "ring around the rosy" (that one sounds dangerous right?!) while I was more interested in reenacting my copy of the Tales of Beedle the Bard.

When my 11th birthday rolled around I couldn't be more excited. "You're a wizard." My parents told me. "Just wait until your Hogwarts acceptance letter comes" The whole month of August I waited and waited and sadly, nothing came. My mother sent out a letter by owl to Minerva McGonagall to find out why I had not received anything but in the mean time I was to be sent to "public school" to learn and play with all the muggles, ahem I mean "normal nonwizarding children".

Seven years and a "muggle high school diploma" later I receive two packages in the mail. The first, is a response form Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry explaining that I was indeed, supposed to be a student but there was a mix-up in the letters however I am more than welcome to come over the summer and learn everything I missed out on in "muggle school" so I am very thrilled. There are so many classes that I want to take that I had no idea how I was going to have TIME for everything unless I was in two places at once. Well the second package I received solved my problem.

In the meantime I also signed up for a website called "redditgifts" which as you know is an exchange website, for muggles of course, but it's the closest thing to magic so there you have it. Anyways I signed up for Arbitrary day "you know, 6 months until Christmas?" well my gift arrived in the mail today and solved all of my problems. My Secret Santa (who must be a wizard) sent me a TIME TURNER. Just the object I will need this coming year to fit in all of my classes that I have missed over the past 7 years and Hogwarts. I am "over the moon" as the muggles say. I am fully aware that horrible things happen to wizards who meddle with time, but in order to further broaden my educational studies to be the wizard I truly am, it is a necessity.

it's been almost 19 years. all is well.
