Hey, this is my first "fic" so take it easy on me!!
CHAPTER ONE Reminiscing
At about 1:30 on a Saturday afternoon, Hermione Granger was lying on her bed just thinking…about anything really, but mostly her life. Hermione was accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry 6 years ago, when she was 11 years old. She remembered she was lying in this exact same spot, doing the exact same thing, when a large snowy white owl swooped in through her bedroom window with a letter for;
Ms. Hermione Granger
The West Bedroom
275 Old London Drive
London, England 1245-0097
Hermione sat there in awe, wondering how this person knew where she was in her house at that very moment. Were there spies around the neighborhood? She turned the letter around to open it and saw a seal, it read, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Witchcraft?! Am I a witch, she wondered? Just then her mother walked in and asked how she had gotten a letter, when the mail hadn't arrived yet.
"It says its from a School called Hogwarts? And no the mail didn't come, an owl flew in my window and dropped it into my lap," Hermione said excitedly.
"Oh dear, I suppose you are a witch, and I hadn't even prepared myself to tell you yet. Not if you didn't get accepted." Her mother said worriedly.
"You mean, I'm going to go to school there? I really am a witch?? Cool. Are there any other witches in our family?" Said Hermione.
"Yes, your father and I your Aunt and Uncle, almost all of us. It's the best thing that ever happened to us, that school."
"So can I go?"
"Of course, unless you don't want to?
"Oh I want to alright."
"Ok dear, tomorrow morning we'll go and get your supplies. There should be a supply list inside the envelope." Her mother said.
"Ok, I'm going to go to sleep now, it's going to be an exciting day."
"Goodnight."
The next morning Hermione awoke with a strange feeling of excitement. That's Right! I'm a witch and we are going to get my things for school today. She hurriedly got dressed and went downstairs to eat her breakfast.
On the way to town, Hermione asked her mother where they would find the magical stuff like a wand, cauldrons, and robes. Certainly not in London.
"No, dear. There is a magic London too. We have to go to the Leaky Cauldron in order to enter it though," stated her mother mater-of-factly.
When they arrived at the Leaky Cauldron they went right through to the other side. Hermione watched in awe as her mother tapped her wand against the brick wall in a pattern. Then suddenly, the bricks began to move aside and a whole other town appeared behind it. Hermione was too amazed to say anything.
"First we'll have to stop at the bank, Grigotts, for some wizard money," said her mother.
At the bank, they took out money, from GOBLINS! The most amazing thing Hermione had ever seen, just like in fairy tales.
Soon, they were on their way to Olivanders Wand Shop. When they walked in an old man appeared out of nowhere and asked if it would be her first year at Hogwarts.
Hermione replied quietly as the old man looked through stacks of wands for the right one. When he found one he thought would be right, he handed it to her and said, "One long Phoenix feather, a unicorn hair, vampires blood, and a lot of magic."
Hermione took the wand and the man told her to wave it and see if it did anything. When Hermione waved the wand sparks of all colors came out the end of it.
"That's the one!" Olivander cried with glee.
Hermione's mother paid for the wand and headed to the cauldron shop to buy two pewter cauldrons. After that they headed to the bookshop and got the required books for first years. After this came quills and parchment.
Hermione then fell asleep on her bed remembering all of this. She couldn't wait to see her friends again this year. It would be one of their best.
