Backstory

(Younger Student) When I received my Hogwarts Letter, I didn’t know what to think. At first I thought it was just some sort of joke, you know? My brothers sometimes played pranks on me, or blamed me when some weird stuff happened around the house. One time, all the regular pencils in the house started writing in all the colors of the rainbow and they told my parents that I was the cause. Anyway, my parents were going to go shopping in London anyway and they figured they would humor me and take me to where the letter said to go. Boy, the look on their faces 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 lingering about that were more than happy to help show us around. The coolest part of Diagon Alley was picking up all of my magical gear gear. I've always adored all things fantasy. I might finish with “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” before school even starts because it's got all the mythical creatures I could ever want.
