Lily

Starting School

I woke up extra early today because today's the day I start Hogwarts! I'm so excited and could burst. I never really liked my old schools or "muggle" schools as the Wizards would call it. Adding on to that I get to meet Harry today! Hagrid says he doesn't know who I am so he probably won't notice me until the sorting ceremony. I got ready by wearing high waisted blue skinny jeans and a white floral crop top. I put my hair in a half up half down way and did my makeup which was the usual. I put on my converse to complete the outfit. I quickly checked I had everything I needed cause I finished packing last night. Hagrid drove me to kings cross station and then left me with nothing but a ticket that said " Platform 9 3/4". Where is platform 9 3/4? I better look. I dragged my trunk and my cat all throughout the station until I found platforms 9 and 10. Where is it! I leaned against the wall trying to think of what to do. The train leaves in 5 minutes! As I was leaning I fell through, I looked around and found a scarlet train that said," Hogwarts express" this must be it. I put my trunk and cat with the other luggage and pets and went to find Fred and George. I was writing to them all the time after I met them at the store, they invited me to sit with them and there friend Lee Jordan. I saw two red heads and instantly knew it was them. I plopped down on the seat and hugged them tightly, "HI GUYS!" I yelled ," HEY LILY!" They yelled back at the same time, oh I hope me and Harry will do that. They introduced me," hi I'm Lillian, but you can call me lily" I said while smiling, " Lee Jordan" he said. They told me all about Hogwarts and were surprised  when I told them I read all the books about it. Finally after a couple hours we were there, I changed into my robes on the way ,they were quite comfortable. Fred and George went to the carriages while I went with Hagrid and the first years into the boats. We went across the black lake and I remembered reading that there was a giant squid that lived in it. We went up the stairs to the doors of the great hall and stopped. There stood a lady with her hair in a bun and long green robes, she also had a long pointed hat. She explained all about the sorting and told me that I would go last. We walked through the hall and everyone looked at me, probably cause I'm like ten feet taller then the whole group. I waited and waited until, " Lillian Potter" the ugly hat called. Everyone gasped and whispered. And when I say everyone's eyes were on me I mean EVERYONES eyes. I walked up to the stool everyone's pupils following me and say down. " ugh another potter, I suppose you going to be just as hard to sort, let's see you don't have a mean bone in your body so not sliytherin, I don't think you fit hufflepuff, you have tons of courage and bravery but you are very intelligent and witty, hmmm where to put you? I know, RAVENCLAW! The hat shouted. Yes! I wanted that house YAYYY! I skipped to the ravenclaw table and sat down beside Luna Lovegood and Cho Chang. Enormous amounts of food were on the table and I ate like an elephant. Later we went to our dorms and I was bunking with Luna and Cho, who were now my new besties! I walked over to my bed and found a letter on it

   Dear Miss Potter,

           Sincerely
                 Albus Dumbledore
