Backstory

My Hogwarts letter arrived just shortly after my family and I moved to Europe. We used to live around Chicago, in America. I have two older brothers and I'm muggleborn. Neither of them are wizards. Not that blood status matters, anyway. We decided to go to London to check out my supplies mentioned in the letter. Nobody was really taking it seriously. I guess we just thought it was a scam. But we were all shocked when we enetered Diagon Alley. The coolest part was the Quidditch supply store! I've never played, but I love soccer, and flying on a broomstick sounds amazing. When I arrived at Hogwarts, I was sorted in Gryffindor (the best one). I can't wait to start my first term, and I'm especially excited to learn how to fly on a broom!
