A Whole New World - Aladdin
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new worldA dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me.

P.S. This is a seven part series just like the books are.
This is book one right here.
Chapter One:
I stared down at the letter that this gentlemen that had given me a long time, I couldn't believe my eyes or ears.
You have been accepted into Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry is what the letter had said. But I wasn't a witch!
How could I possibly be on; that was impossible? But I kept staring at the letter in disbelief.
The man across from me had introduced himself as Professor Albus Dumbledore; he said he was the Headmaster of the school the letter was telling me I was.
I, Maria Anne Leslie Davis, who just turned eleven years old, on the sixteenth of July, who would be starting the fifth grade at Perspective elementary school in the fall. I could not be a witch; how this could be possible.
As if knowing what I was about to ask, he answered my question for me.
"Have you ever done something you couldn't explain?"
"Yes," I answered automatically I have been doing a lot of things that couldn't be explained. I threw things across the room with my mind when I was mad without even touching the object.
The time when my father came into the room and tried to...
I won't talk about that right now, I won't even think about it.
"You are what the Wizarding world would call muggle-born it means your parents aren't witches and wizards."
"There are other types of witches and wizards?" I asked confused.
"Yes, there is half-blood, and there is also pure-blood."
"Wow," I couldn't help it; that was the only word I could think of.
"Now when you first get to school you will be separated into one of four different houses..."
"Do we get to pick our own," I said interrupting him.
"No we have this thing called a sorting hat; it will do the separating for us..."
"What are the four houses?" I said interrupting him again.
"Well, if you let me finish I will tell you. The four houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin.
"What do they represent?" I asked. "I mean if they represent anything of course."
"Well Gryffindor represents people of courage, Sytherin are those of great ambition, Ravenclaw is the smartest house, while Hufflepuff are the hard workers."
"So when do I start?" I ask.
"On September 1st, you will leave from platform 9 3/4 on a train headed to Hogwarts. You will meet others like yourself on that train..."
"Wow, I have never been on a train before."
Dumbledore smiled when I said this.
"What about school supplies, uniforms and all of that," said my father for the first time since Dumbledore announced that I was a witch.
"She has school supplies on her list, if she would just show you."
I found the paper and gave it a once over before handing to over to my father.
"And where in London are we going to find this stuff?" my father asked Professor Dumbledore.
"We have instruction on the card or we could hire someone to go around with you to help you out."
"I would prefer the help thank you."
"How long will it take you to get someone because I would like to get this over as quickly as possible? And If possible could you come with us? Because I would prefer someone we knew over someone we didn't know."
"I would be delighted to come with you."
"Thank you is Friday to soon for you, or would you prefer Monday?"
"Friday is good, morning cause' I have something to do later on in the afternoon." Said the Professor then he added, "if that is all I really need to get going now."
"On one more thing what about my train ticket, and how would I get on the train which station would I go to?" I asked.
"I will tell you all this on Friday. As for the train ticket you have it in your hands it is the other piece of parchment."
And with that he stood up to leave.
After shaking my father's hand; and saying see you on Friday he turned and walked out of the door.
"Wow that was a heads up," I said a few minutes later.
"Do you know who that man was? "My dad asked.
"No," I answered. "Never saw him in my life.
"Well maybe you'd like to tell me how he knew so much about you."
"Well he did say that my name was down for Hogwarts since the day I was born. Maybe it tells all about what happened to me during my life.
My father goes into a rage when I say this.
He slaps me so hard that I fall onto the floor. (From experience I knew that if I hit the ground stay on the ground.)
"So you think you are a witch now. Come on big and bad show me what you're working with. If you are what he says you are send me to another dimension or something."
When I didn't say or do anything he gave me a kick in my ribs.
"That's what I thought," he yelled. "You hired him to come up with this weak story and then you can't even prove it."
"No," I yelled back. "I swear I didn't."
"So I guess he is some social worker here to spy on us."
"No he must be who he says he is," I say quickly.
"Okay if he is why I have never heard of this school."
"Maybe it's a secret just for people who have magical powers."
"Don't get smart with me young lady.'' He said giving me another painful kick in my ribs, making me cry out from the pain.
"I swear it dad," he finally seems to realize I was telling the truth and backed off.
I rose shaking to my feet.
"I am sorry I don't know what came over me. The fact that I might lose my daughter just scares me."
"So can I go to the school?"
"Of course you can my darling daughter I wouldn't deprive you of going."
"What about the money?" I ask.
"Well it's a good thing I started a bank account for you, when I found out your mom was pregnant with you."
"You think momma would be proud of me?"
"Yeah she sure would," he answered. "I am willing to bet she is probably looking down from heaven right now and is smiling at you."
"I miss her so much," I said.
"Yeah I miss her too, baby girl.''
There was a long silence before he added.
"And I will miss you too when you go off to that school."
