Kelly Quinn

Backstory

I never thought I would get accepted. I come from a wizarding family of nine, but still. For a long time, people thought that I was a squib. Let me introduce myself. My name is Kelly Quinn. I’m a first year Gryffindor. Now, let’s talk about my family. My little brother is named Buddy, and he is seven years old. Then I have older sisters Gina, Rebecca, and Jill. They are fourteen year old identical triplets, but they all go to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. Then I have nineteen year old twin siblings, and their names are Jake and Piper. And then my parents are named Terri and Scott. My parents and Jake and Piper all went to Hogwarts.



So now I am going to tell you about what actually happened the day that I got my letter. It was about 6 in the morning and I was downstairs, alone, reading. And that was when an owl started pecking at the kitchen window. I opened the window so that the owl could drop the letter, which it did. I then went to go get a sickle to pay the owl. I gave it to the owl and then I closed the window.



I opened the letter and it said that I had been accepted into Hogwarts. I started yelling for everyone to wake up and see the letter. After a minute or two of yelling my mom came down. When she saw me with the letter in my hand she hugged me. Then she said that she had been planning to go to Diagon Alley, and that now I could come too.


That was almost a month ago, and now I am sitting in a compartment of the Hogwarts Express, writing this. I am alone, but I keep hoping that someone will come in. Right now, I am super nervous. I keep thinking about what house I’m going to be placed in. I want to be in Hufflepuff, just like my older siblings and my parents. But I won’t be too sad if I’m in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw though. But I don’t want to be in Slytherin. I had a nightmare about being placed in Slytherin once, and I have never forgotten it. And that was two years ago!


Suddenly, we stop and the whole train is told to get off of the train. I followed the other first years until we reached the boats. I was in a boat with girls named Hannah, Trudith, and Darbie.


It was time to walk in! It was a while before I was called, and I witnessed a lot of sorting. Here is what the people from my boat were sorted into: Hannah was sorted into Hufflepuff, Darbie was sorted into Gryffindor, and Trudith was sorted into Slytherin. Then my name was called. I went up and sat on the stool. The Sorting Hat yelled Gryffindor!. I went over to the table and sat next to Darbie. Now Darbie and I are friends.
