I'm Krissy Harper and there's things about me that I would die of embarrassment if anyone found out, like why I have so many scars for an eleven year old girl.

Today I get to go into Diagon Alley for the first time, even though I have three older siblings, Mum does not let me go because she says, and I quote, "Young witches should get a muggle schooling before Hogwarts." I don't believe her but I cannot argue with my mum.

I am so ready for Hogwarts; I hope that I will be a Gryffindor but that's a longshot because my whole family is Hufflepuff. I cannot wait for anything.

This morning mum and I will be traveling to Diagon Alley. I already have my supply list and I even know what pet I want.

"Mum, are you ready to go yet?" I asked impatiently, mum rolled her eyes and walked out the door, I followed her to the portkey.

Tumbling down from the sky, I knew better than to scream, I bit my lip and landed on my feet, a first for me. You would think after using portkeys since I was six, I would be able to land on my feet more frequently.

"Were here," mum said as I stared in wonder at the "alley" surrounding me, I would not call it an alley as much as I would a large road with stores on either side.

" I wish I could have came here sooner mum this is amazing" I say "Can I explore for a little while, by myself? I want to get all of my stuff alone."

"If you want to honey, I will be waiting in the Ice Cream Parlor" Mum said

I walk into Ollivanders to find a wand "Hello Harper is it?" Mr. Ollivander asks

"My surname? Yes. my first name? no." I say

"Oh no I meant your surname, I remember when your parents were in here buying their wands, Hannah, 13-inch Holly, Unicorn Hair core. Jack, 14-inch oak, Phoenix feather." He says clasping his hands together "Let's Get started!"

Mr. Ollivander hands me the first wand, Yew 10 inches, unicorn hair" He says. As I take it and gently swish it around I pull boxes off the shelf. "sorry," I groan we go on like this for 3 more wands before he gives me one final wand, Birch 12 inches, Phoenix Feather, reliable, good for charms." I swish this wand and I could feel that this was my wand. "That is a very rare wand type, not many people have birch in their wand, it bonds with its original owner, use it well your first wand is a part of you." He says "Thank you so much. How much is it?" I ask "15 galleons" he answered as I paid.

Next I went into Flourish and Blotts. I met a boy with similar scars to mine, I know better than to stare, I just casually noticed it. After buying my textbooks I got all of my first year clothing, The same boy was in there too, I glanced at him but did not pay much attention, when you grow up the way I did staring at someone's scars is the highest insult you can give

I also got my scales, telescope and my glass phials. When I finished I went into Eyelops Owl Emporium to look at the owls, there was a Greyish Eagle-Owl, she was so beautiful and what better birthday present to myself than an owl? I purchased her and everything that I would need. When I got back to my mum she bought me a Raspberry Chocolate chip Ice cream on a waffle cone, to celebrate my being accepted into Hogwarts. After that I could barely sleep, waiting for tomorrow, when I get on a train to Hogwarts.
