Backstory

When I received my Hogwarts Letter that fateful day, I didn’t know what it would mean. At first I thought it was just a joke, ya know? My sister sometimes played pranks on me, or blamed me when some weird stuff happened around the house. How was I supposed to know regular pencils couldn’t write in all the colors of the rainbow? Anyway, my parents were going to go shopping downtown anyway and they figured they would humor me. Boy, the look on their face when we stopped by our favorite shop and went in to see potions, spell books, and wands instead! After picking up all of my stuff, I still was not sure that everything was true. The coolest part of shopping for Wizarding gear was picking up my wand. It just felt so magical. I also love reading and think that I might read all of the textbooks before school starts!
