Backstory

(Younger Student) 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, you 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 or that the attic's locked door wasn't supposed to open with a touch? 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 picking up my wand. It took me an hour, but it was worth it. Now, I'm top of my class, but my favorite class is Charms. I spend most of my time in the library, reading or writing, in the common room by the fire, or practicing spells. I'm hoping to master my patronus by the end of my 2nd year!
