3rd Person POV

Once upon a time, there was a princess of England. Her name is Rosalie Reid with a twin brother named Spencer. She lives in England whereas her brother lives in America because there are dangers surrounding them and they are safer apart. They had just turned 11 and Spencer is only older by 4 minutes. They are really smart and while he has a 187 IQ score, she has a score of 190. He has an eidetic memory, basically a photographic memory of what he's read, and she has a hyperthymesia memory, remembering every event of her life in extraordinary detail while not being perfect with dates and times of events.


Rosalie's POV

I was reading a book when my phone shocked me out of my reverie.


"Hey Spence! What's up?" I answer.


"Nothing much, but could you check your mail? I think you might have gotten an important letter. Just... just don't freak out, okay? I am on my way. I'll be there in a few." My palms start to sweat as I move towards my room, reacting to my brother's warning.


"Okay. Spencer, what's going on? You're starting to scare me. You need to be careful because you know it isn't safe.  Let me go tell Mum in a sec. Just... stay on the line with me while I check the mail and tell mom." When I enter my room, a beautiful midnight black owl resting on my desk startles as I squeal in delight.


"Rose! Are you ok?! What happened?!" Spencer shouts, obviously freaked out by my high pitched noises.


"Yeah, I'm fine big bro, I just saw Nova sitting on my desk. There's a letter tied to her leg. Give me a sec to open it. I'll put you on speaker," I calmly explain. Nova is midnight black with tiny white dots on her that look like stars.


"Okay, I'll stay on the phone while you open it. I can't wait to see you and Nova. Dad gave me a navy blue owl with black spots and I named him Midnight. Was Mom the one to give you Nova? What does the letter say?" 


"Yeah, Mum gave me Nova. Also, don't forget that, while you're here, you need to speak British English or people will look at you like you're a tourist. I can't wait to see you and Midnight. Here, I will read to you what the letter says:

"OH MY GOSH!! MUM!! MUM!! I GOT ACCEPTED TO HOGWARTS!! I'M ACCEPTED TO HOGWARTS!! SPENCE, DID YOU GET A LETTER!?!"


Spencer's laugh rings out on the other side of the phone. "Sis, you need to calm the freak down. I already called Mum and told her. Dad is apparating there soon. I can't wait to see you. Oh, and to answer your question, yes I did. I will see you in a few minutes." At that he hung up.
