Goof Goofsopher

Backstory

I am Goof Goofstopher and I am a Gryffindor muggle-born.  when i first got my Hogwarts letter, i couldn't belive it. i went to my friends, siblings, and even my parents, asking if it was a trick. i found out it wasn't when a strange lady came to my house, telling me that i was a wizard. the lady took me to the Leaky Cauldron, and then took out her wand and tapped it on a brick wall. that's when i entered a new world. When i went to a store called Ollivanders, i was a little creeped out by the man in the store. he started giving me random wands, all unleashing magic that nearly destroyed half the shop. finally, he gave me a wand, and it began to feel warm in my hand, wind began to flap around my face, and a small, golden flame appeared on the tip of the wand. he snatched the wand from me and, talking to the wand more than me, muttered,"Holly Wood, Phoenix Feather, 14 inches, fairly flexible. and interesting wand, very rare. this wand will do great things for you.' he charged me seven galleons for the wand (i was still a little confused by the currency,) and i went to other stores, getting items on my list. when i got home, the lady whose name was Minerva McGonagall, gave me a ticket and told me to go to King's Cross station on September 1st, 2020. i flipped through all of the books i bought (i'm a fast reader), and on the night of before the day, i dreamed about a castle, and kids in black robes, and a room with a four poster bed, and some people who were walking with me. i was at the station the next day. the ticket said that i was supposed to board the train on platform 9 3/4. after i said goodbye to my family, i went between platforms nine and ten. there was no other platform. i asked around, thinking that maybe the guards knew where the platform was. i was wrong. it was 10:57, and the train was leaving at eleven o'clock. carrying my trunk, i threw myself at the pillar between platforms nine and ten in anger--except i never hit the wall. i boarded the scarlet steam engine called the Hogwarts Express. i walked around the train, looking for a compartment to sit. he found an almost-empty the only one there was a boy with glasses and silky black hair. "Hi." i told him. after a conversation, we became friends. his name was Muntummery, and he was a muggle-born like me. after a a while, we heard an explosion from a compartment far behind us. then we heard footsteps. on the roof. when we got of the train, a giant person was there, saying "All first-years follow me!" me and Muntummery followed him along with a bunch of other first-years. we came to a giant lake and the man told us we were going to go across the lake via boat. after a while, i saw something moving in the lake, so i leaned in closer to the water's surface. suddenly, a giant tentacle grabbed me and dragged me into the water, then threw me into the air and onto the boat. "that" i remember saying,"was awesome!" when we got to the castle, we lined up in a big hall with four large tables with students sitting in there. Professor McGonagall was holding a hat,and a slit appeared on it and it started singing.in it's song it explained the four houses and their personalities. Gryffindor was bravery, Ravenclaw was knowledge, Hufflepuff was good, and Slytherin was ambition. one by one, McGonagall called student's names, put a hat on them, and the hat would shout a name. either "Gryffindor", "Slytherin", "HufflePuff"or "Ravenclaw". Finally, my name was called. i sat on a stool, and she put the hat on my head. then there was a voice inside my head. "a very bold one you are, lot's of recklessness. he has great ambition, and a great deal of knowledge. a very foolhardy one." "Hey," i thought to him," you'd better watch your mouth." after that, the house shouted a name:"Gryffindor!" Me and Muntummery were sorted in the same house. we made another friend named Har, who was also a Pure-Blood and a Gryffindor. after we had a feast, we followed the Gryffindor Prefects as they lead us to the common room and our dorms. on the way there a Slytherin boy stopped us. "Hello, MudBloods." he was indicating me and Muntummery. "My blood is a lot cleaner than yours." i shot back. "ooohhh" some people around us were watching. the boy and his cronies walked away. we went to sleep in our dormitories, and that night i wondered what the wizarding world had in store for me.
