PROLOGUE
I'm Saltock Jermal. I was adopted by my neighbors when I was three. One week later it will be my eleventh birthday. I was hoping for a cool submarine shooter for my present. Mr. Gert was actually pretty nice but Mrs. Gert was the opposite...I love watching terror movies and drinking pumpkin juice. Before my parents died, mother told I was a descendant of Grifa or something. I never understood what it is. I feel like this coming birthday will be excellent and exciting!
CH 1
Today is my birthday and Mr. Gert bought me a submarine shooter. Mrs. Gert complained about buying me a very expensive item. After I ate my pumpkin cake, there was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, there was a fat man with a black cloak and joyful eyes. He explained that he's called Neville Longbottom and want me to go to a school called Hogwarts. I asked him why, so he told me that I'm a wizard. At first I was surprised, but then I said that calling people wizards are rude. But Mr. Longbottom said not all wizards and witches are bad, except for somebody called Grindywall and Voldimoat. All those names were weird until Mr. Longbottom told me I am a descendant of Gryffindor. Ah, so that's what my mother was trying to tell me before she passed away!
CH 2
I agreed with going to Hogwarts with Mr. Longbottom, but Mr. and Mrs. Gert won't agree. After Mr. Longbottom went away, I started to make a plan about running away. I remembered that Mr. Longbottom gave me a letter before he went, so I opened the letter and find out that I first need to go to a place called Diagon Alley. Then I need to aboard an express on platform nine and three-quarters. There isn't a nine and three-quarters platform, I thought. But whatever, I slipped away and walked down to the direction of Diagon Alley from the map on the letter. In the way to the alley, I met some of our fifth grade bullies. They squashed me like a rubber duck and gave me two black eyes. When I finally got away, I checked the time and the express will be gone two hours later. I had to run. I used the instructions on the map and went into Diagon Alley. This is the most marvelous place I've ever seen…
CH 3
After I bought all the books with the money that Mr. Longbottom gave me, I went to King Cross station. My favorite item that I just bought was my personal magic wand, ebony wood, unicorn hair core, eleven and three-quarters inches, and supple flexibility. All of the things were good except for the platform. There was nothing between the platforms nine and ten and I only got twenty minutes left. I asked everybody that I can about the platform but none think I was serious. I asked and asked until a tall and slim woman told me that I just need to bump into the barrier between the platforms nine and ten. I was scared but followed the woman's instructions and after five seconds I was on platform nine and three-quarters.
