Backstory

When I received my Hogwarts Letter, I didn’t know what it would mean. At first I thought it was just a joke, ya know? My brother sometimes played pranks on me, or blamed me when some weird stuff happened around the house. (Now that I think about it that WAS probably all me) How was I supposed to know regular people can't make flowers grow out of their hands? Anyway, my parents were going to go on a business trip in London anyway and they figured they would get a good laugh out of the whole thing by bringing me along. I'll never forget the look of my brother's face when he found out that I was a witch. The coolest part of Diagon Alley was getting an owl. I can't believe you can bring pets to school!!! My brother was soooo jealous. I mean, AN OWL! After we got all of my supplies we got ice cream at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour--which my brother almost didn't eat ("It's gonna do something weird to me!")--and a few days later there I was...Hogwarts. My parents were nervous at first, but just think of the opportunity I'd be missing out on. Anyway, my family wrote almost everyday in the beginning, but they've calmed down a bit. I'm so excited for my next few years!!!! HOGWARTS IS MY HOME!
