Wool's Orphanage. I hate it, I bloody hate it! The other children make it worse for me. But, with my knowledge of being a witch by this old man, I feel like a badass. Bricks on a wall moved to reveal a place that the old man who I learned is named Dumbledore calls Diagon Alley. By far the best birthday present ever! I am eleven.

"Miss. Riddle, there is Ollivander's Wand Shop, I will meet you back here in a few moments."

"Yes sir."

I walked in the shop, there was small boxes galore in that place. An old man noticed me.

"Good afternoon, here for your first wand I see-"

As he got a look at me, he froze.

"Everything alright sir?" I asked.

"I sincerely apologize...you look just like him."

"Who sir?"

"Your father. He was a Hogwarts student like you're going to be. I remember him purchasing his first wand, like it was yesterday."

He opened a small box, a black wand.

"Here, give it a wave."

I waved it, boxes flew off the shelves, I gasped.

"I'm so sorry sir."

"It's perfectly alright, it's a normal reaction."

He gave me another wand, I waved it, every glass in the shop broke.

"Not the right wand."

He opened another box and gave the wand to me.

"How about this wand, I have a good feeling, I see Headmaster Dumbledore."

I turned around to see Dumbledore walk in, a cage with a barn owl in his hand.

"I thought you might love this for a pet."

The barn owl looked like Jareth's owl form in the movie Labyrinth, I learned that nonmagic folks are called Muggles.

"It's lovely, it's a boy right?"

"Yes."

"I shall name him Jareth."

He nodded.

"Give the wand a wave Miss. Riddle," Ollivander said.

I waved it, I felt a blast of adrenaline rush inside me.

"This is the wand for you, the wand chooses it's master."

I looked at my wand.

"Yew wood, dragon heartstring core, twelve inches

"Yew wood, dragon heartstring core, twelve inches."

"Dragon heartstring is more likely to be exposed to dark magic."

Dumbledore put his hands on my shoulders.

"Promise me you won't go into the restricted section of the school library."
