Hey guys! HufflepuffCutie here! This is my Hogwarts story. Please keep in mind that the names are changed for privacy of me and my friends! Thanks for reading! I will update often ;)
My name is Katie Birch, I am currently 11 years old, my birthday was 2 weeks and 3 days ago. I got a letter in the mail telling me that I was a witch and that I could be accepted into hogwarts! My parents were a little skeptical, speaking as they had never heard of hogwarts or magic, but they decided it would be a good opportunity for me to gain some new friends!! So I went to diagon alley. I brought 20 pounds, and luckily the creepy guys at the bank let me exchange it for wizards money. I don't know anyone else here, yet I'm sure I will make lots of new friends. I went to the wand shop and the wand that chose me was a 11 inch Cedar wood wand with a phoenix feather core! I'm so excited to learn with it! Next I went to the animal store to pick out a companion. The only options they had were cats *achoo!* nope! Allergic… a frog. EWW! A rat, double eww! Or an owl… definitely , I have always loved owls so it was perfect! I looked around at the different owls, I saw a pretty white one, but then a big guy who barely fit through the door, came through and took that one before I could even inspect it. I noticed that in the back corner there was a little screech owl, in a cage all by itself. It was tan and brown with cream colored chest feathers, it was beautiful! I carefully poked my finger through the bars, the owl let me pet its wings, it even rubbed against my hand! I looked at the price tag, for some reason this owl was significantly cheaper than the rest…. but why!? I didn't care, this owl was beautiful and she liked me! I brought her to the front desk.
" I would like to buy this owl please!" A announced to the store owner.
"Yes of cour.." he stopped dead
"I'm sorry, what is it?" I asked
" are you sure you want THAT owl?" He asked timidly "She has nearly bitten off the fingers of anyone to previously touch her.."
"Interesting! She was very good to me!" I exclaimed, "see!" I said sticking my finger through the bars, patting the owls head.
"Then she's yours… no charge! I just want to be rid of her." The store owner shouted.
"Thank you!" I replied.
