♡Sophie♡ (Ch1-3)

　My name is Sophie Hatter, the eldest of three sisters. As the eldest, I know I am the one in misfortune. My sisters are Lettie and Martha. After my father died, my mother couldn't afford to let us go to the school therefore we wanted to study. And I would be apprenticed to hat shop where Funny has and I will inherit this shop. I thought it was so bored and made me bored, but I accepted because I had to be dutiful. After I went to meet Lettie, I found that Funny is unkinfd and wasn't willing to pay me. I felt that I was exploted and disappointed. After that, I tried to anger the customer because I wanted to trouble Funny. When a woman and a boy entered the shop and complained about hat, I felt angry and retorted strongly. That was my misfortune! She was astually Witch of the Waste, and she made me old woman by using magic.
　 I was calm and I tried to leave the shop. When I was walking on the hill, I came across three things, an old scarecrow, a dog and a shepherd. As it was dark, I had to find the safe plece. Then, I found that howl's moving castle was rumbling and bumping torward me!! I thought tha I am too old to be eaten by Howl, so I decided to enter Howl's moving castle. It was not easy to enter the castle, because ther were invisible wall... but finally I could get into the castle.
　Inside of the castle, there was Michael who is Howl's apprentice. He seemed not to welcome me, but I didn't care and decided to wait for Howl in order to ask him for breaking the spell. When I was alone, the fireplece talked to me. He said he was bound to the hearth and he could break her spell. And he recommended about the bargain that if I can break the contract between Howl and him, he would break her spell. I was confused whether it was safe or not for me. But finally I decided to make the bargain with him and we realized that it would take a long time, approximately 1 month. In order to persuade Howl to admit me to stay the castle, we had to find an excuse... I wondered where my life would go, but I thought the way I could go was only one.
