OK, as you may already know. I don't own Harry Potter. However if I did I'd be going out with Daniel Radcliffe and be best mates with Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, hehe. So, enjoy!

We walked into our new house with all of our bags with only the feelings of tiredness and relief.

"We're finally here." I sighed, slumping on our sofa that had arrived only days ago along with the rest of our furniture. My parents sat down in two armchairs close by the fireplace to have a small break.

We had bought a neat property on Privet Drive. It was fairly big with a small neat front garden with a small pond in the middle. It had four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a lounge, a dining room and a rather spacious attic which would be converted into my room.

After sitting in the lounge for about five minutes an owl swooped down the chimney and dropped a letter on my lap before swooping back up the chimney.

"Bloody hell what was that?" Dad said in an alarmed tone.

"Dad; relax. It was an owl with a letter for me." I said calmly. My parents had never been around when I received my letters from my old school, Stirrupford School of Magic, so they didn't know how I got them. I turned the envelope around to see a deep red seal on the back. I slowly opened it and brought out a piece of parchment saying:

Dear Miss Trenton,

You have been invited to join Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You will need to go to Diagon Alley to buy everything you will need before you start your year at Hogwarts.

Since you do not know where Diagon Alley is I have asked one of the students who lives quite close to you to take you there, this student will also escort you to Platform 9 3/4 where you shall be taken to Hogwarts. The school term starts on 1st September and the train leaves at 11 'o' clock sharp, so do not be late.

Also looking at your records from your previous school we have decided to make you a Prefect, congratulations and I hope you settle in well.

Yours Faithfully,

Professor Minerva McGonagall

Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Inside was a Prefect badge and a list of what I'd need for the year.

"I've got into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." I said, looking up at my parents.

"That's great love! When do you start?" Mum asked, coming over and hugging me.

"1st September." I replied, hugging her back. "And I'm a Prefect."

"That's excellent love!" Mum said. "Let's celebrate, how about a pizza?"

"Yeah, that'll be great, d'ya know where the closest pizza place is?" I asked.

"I found out before we arrived, and the local chinese and chippy." She smiled. She ordered a hawaain for me and a margherita for her and Dad to share whilst I fed Midnight, my cat that I'd had since my first year at Stirrupford; and took my bags, broom, and cage upstairs. When they arrived we sat on the sofa eating our pizza and watching TV.

"By the way I'm being taken to Diagon Alley to get my stuff tomorrow by someone who lives close to us." I said as an advert came on.

"OK Laura, what time?" Dad asked, taking a bite out his slice.

"Noon." I replied, finishing my last slice. "Well, I'm off to bed. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Night Laura." They said as i walked up the stairs to my room. My bed was set out along with my desk and bedside table. I walked over to my bed to find Midnight curled up at the bottom of my bed.

"Night Midnight." I whispered, stroking her sleek black fur. She slowly opened her bright yellow eyes and purred as I tickled under her chin where her little white spot was.

"I'll see ya in the morning." I said before getting ready for bed and falling asleep
