Backstory

When I received my Hogwarts Letter that faithful 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 in London anyway and they figured they would humor me. Boy, the look on their face when we stopped by the Barren Bulldog pub and the sign said “The Leaky Cauldron” instead! The innkeeper was an odd but friendly man, and there were some people to help show us around. The coolest part of Diagon Alley was The Magical Menagerie and Flourish and Blotts. I love animals and books, but plan on reading Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and A History of Magic first. I even picked up Hogwarts, A History. But, the way I heard some of the older students talking I got some extra books on Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts. I hear the teacher for Potions is horrible, so I am definitely going to read up on that and "1000 Magical Herbs and Fungi", since some of the ingredients are plants. I can't wait for the classes with animals though! I'm so EXCITED!
