Btw, I don't own any of J.K. Rowling original characters

Chapter One

I looked around my room that I would soon be leaving for nearly a year. It was 6:10 pm at night, and in less than twenty-four hours, I would be on the train to Hogwarts.

My room was themed Gryffindor. My walls were red and gold, the red walls facing each other, and the same with the gold walls. I had my gold and red bed in one of my corners and a desk just below a window on one wall. I had lots of book shelves to hold all of my books about the history of the wizarding world. I really loved that sort of thing. On the space that was not taken up by bookshelves were pictures of me with family and friends. I smiled at the memories they brought back.

My grey owl, Soot, suddenly came flying in from my open window. I noticed an envelope tied to his ankle. I grabbed it off of it. It was from Amanda Wood, my best friend. I ripped the envelope open and read what was inside.

Dear Elizabeth,

Can't wait to see you tomorrow! First day at Hogwarts! Talk to you later!

~Amanda

About as quickly as I had read it, I raced over to my desk and started writing a letter to Amanda.

Dear Amanda,

I can't wait to see you and Hogwarts! See you tomorrow!

-Elizabeth

I quickly rolled the parchment up and tied it to Soot. I held him in my hands and let go of him once I was at the window and said, "You know where to go!"

I went into my bathroom, making sure I had my hairbrush, toothbrush, etc., and looked in the mirror. I have brown, curly hair, like my dad, and green-blue eyes, like my mom. My skin is a light tan color with freckles coating it here and there.

I walked out of my bathroom and then my mom came into my room. She has black, curly hair that billows down her back and enchanting blue-green eyes and tan skin to tie her all together.

"Do you have your trunk all packed for Hogwarts?" she asked.

"Yes," I replied.

"By the way, dinner is ready," she said as she walked out the door.

"Okay. I'll be down in a minute." I looked around my room and walked out and closed the door.

As I was walking down the stairs, my older brother, Elphias, ran past me and said, "Slowpoke!"

"I'm not a slowpoke!" I shouted back at him. To prove it, I raced downstairs and got in line for dinner before him. "Ha, ha!" I shouted at him.

"Hey, no fair! Mom!"

I quickly sat down and tried to look as if nothing happened.

Then my mom came in and said, "What's all the commotion going on here? Were you two fighting again?"

"I wasn't fighting, I was just messing around, and plus he was the one who started it!" I said.

"Okay, but if I hear anything from Hogwarts about you fighting, then I will take some of your history books away from you, Elizabeth, and Eliphas, I'll take all of your Muggle-made video games away from you."

"Okay, okay, I won't fight with her at Hogwarts," he said.

"Neither will I," I added.

"Good. Let's eat."

Around that time, Dad came in and started getting his food from the kitchen. Then, he sat down at the table.

"So, Elphias, are you excited for your O.W.L.s?" Dad asked in his accent neither Elphias nor I inherited from him.

"No," groaned Elphias in a muffled voice, his mouth full of food.

Dad laughed. "Elizabeth, are you excited for your first day at Hogwarts?" he asked me.

"Yeah!"

"Great!"

"I'm done," I said and proceeded to put my plate in the sink. "Good night."

Once I had gotten back in my room, I proceeded to get ready for bed. First, I took my nightly shower and changed into my pjs. Then I brushed my teeth and washed my face. Finally, I went to the bathroom and climbed into my bed.

I glanced at a picture of Elphias at his first day at Hogwarts. That's where I would be tomorrow. At Hogwarts, making friends and foes and learning magic.

I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Thanks for reading my first chapter! I'll be posting more soon!
