Year One
Krissey Nicole Sylvester was having a usual day at home with her parents and siblings. As they finished their dinner Jim, her father, asked that she wash up, and like she usually did she agreed (otherwise she'd have been grounded). As she was cleaning, the phone rang. Automatically her brothers and sister began fighting over who it was for. Marie answered the phone and it actually wasn't for Alix, Jessey, or Justin. It was actually for Krissey it was her best friend Amanda Alexander from Camden Junior high school. "Hey" Amanda greeted her. "What's up?" Krissey asked. After the two got off the phone and Kris finished the dishes she sat down in the living room and began to read. No sooner had she sat down than her seventeen-year-old brother had come in and snatched her book. "Oooh what's this? What is the point in all this nonsense?" That was not something that he should have said because this upset Krissey very badly. She felt the anger rising up inside of her, and since she usually looked away when she was annoyed or angry, she looked up at the lights above Alix. In the next instant, there was a loud noise as three light bulbs shattered above her brother's head. He immediately threw the book and ran toward the stairs eager to get away from his little sister. She was thinking, "What just happened? Did I do that?" Soft glowing light and a tap on the window interrupted her train of thought. She jumped up and raised the window. No sooner had she opened the window than a young woman with pearly blue skin and deep velvety blue hair popped up at her. "Hi, I'm Karen. I'm also an elf." Krissey stared in disbelief. "I was sent here by Mr., Proffessor Albus Dumbledore himself, he asked me to bring you this." She held out a very light sky blue envelope out to Krissey. She reached out with great caution. "Well, go on it doesn't bite." Krissey opened the envelope and read:
Dear Ms. Sylvester,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We look forward to seeing you this term. An owl is expected of you no later than August the fifteenth. The supply
list is enclosed. Thank you.

Krissey showed her mother and father the letter and the list. She also introduced them to Karen as the fact Karen was going to be flying her in to England tomorrow. She was given a quiz before they left. Once in London the two stopped behind a small pub called the Leaky Cauldron. A small wizard tapped three bricks with his wand and it opened a doorway into Diagon Alley. Karen directed her to a beautiful huge white building. The bank, which was called Gringott's. On the front of the door was a saying:
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there. A friend of hers who had passed away had left her some money. In the vault she went to there were mounds She had gotten fourteen galleons, eighteen sickles, and three knuts. She hardley understood but she did know that galleons were the highest and knuts were the lowest.As she left she decided to look at her list. Which now read:

She stopped at a place called Flourish and Blotts to pick up her books. Then it was off to Odds and Ends for her cauldron, quills, ink, parchment, and her other potions ingrediants. As she was leaving she saw a girl she'd met the other day by the name of Rachel. Just as the two had started up a conversation a boy around their age with dark brown hair and glasses crashed into them. Rachel was quite mad at him so Krissey left to get her wand and robes. As she left an old dusty shop, called Madam Malkin's, with her robes wrapped in dark blue paper another young boy around her age ran into her. "I'm so sorry. Here let me help you." he said. "Thanks, I've got it." "My name is Sirius Black, I'm a second year you must be a first." "Actually, they skipped me up a year. I'm Krissey Sylvester my friends call me Kris." "That's awesome. Were you sorted yet?" "Gryffindor." "Me too. Let me show you around"
