HEY! THIS IS MY FIRST STORY I HOPE IT IS GOOD. SO I JUST WANT TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT A COUPLE CHAPTERS WILL BE LONGER THAN OTHERS. SO ENJOY AND VISIT THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER.
I quickly jumped up out of my bed.
I hope it's here, I hope it's here
Today wasn't like any other day. Today is the day that my letter from Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry will come hopefully. "EMMA COME DOWNSTAIRS RIGHT NOW. BREAKFAST IS ON THE TABLE!" I put on my robe and ran downstairs. There I was greeted by my father. He embraced me with a hug. I thought to my self. "DID IT COME!?". My father rolled his eyes and simply said "the mail did not come yet, now go wake your brothers." I sighed and looked out the window to the streets of Godric's Hollow. I walked up stairs to three bedrooms, one of them was my own. The second one was shared by my two older brothers. "Grover! Aaron! Wake up dads got breakfast!" Grover and Aaron are twins and 12. They are in their second year in Hogwarts. The next bedroom was my brother Caesar's. "Caesar! Come on breakfast," Caesar was my least favorite brother. He is 14 and always yelling at me, grover, and Aaron. Caesar walked out of his room looking scruffier then usual. He had sandy blonde hair that hung over his left eye, his skin was a light ivory,and his eyes were hazel. Grover and Aaron trudged out of their room. They were almost identical with dirty blonde hair and skin that was light in the winter and in he summer,a light olive color. The only thing that told them apart was that Grover had one blue eye and one hazel eye and Aaron had one blue eye and one dark green eye. I am eleven with very light blonde hair and ivory skin,my eyes are midnight blue. All of us were tall and lanky with long legs and arms We all walked downstairs to my father. My father did not look like any of his children. My father was tall, he had deep brown eyes and almost black hair. He had tan skin and didn't burn to a crisp in the summer. My father put waffles on the table and we each took a seat. "So do you think the letters will come today."
"well if they do come,can we go to Diagon Alley?" asked Grover he only wanted to go to Daigon Alley to see if Penelope Clearwater was there.
`"hey dad!, what if Emma is a squib! Said Aaron. Ever since he found out that our cousin Joey was a squib he belived that I was a squib. WHICH I WASN'T! with that it started to snow in the kitchen
"Ugh! Stupid! if Emma was a squib she wouldn't be able to do magic and obviously she is not a squib." Caesar answered with a snub look an his face that made me wanted to punch him in the face. Well I usually wanted to punch him anyway.
"boys! Knock it off!" my father said with a stern look. "Emma, are you excited for your letter to come."
It was as if the room just brightened up "I really hope it comes today, what house do you think I'll be in?
"I don't know only the sorting hat can tell." My father replied with a smile. Then three big owls came through the window. Grover's bird was tan with a hooked beak, her name was Mica. Aaron's bird is dark brown with a amber outline around his face, his name was Maurice . Caesar's bird was black and hulking, his name was Raven. Each of the owls dropped off a letter. Except for Mica she dropped off two letters. I gabbed all four of the letters. The first one read "Grover Jekylle." I threw it on the ground. The next one "Caesar Jekylle" threw it on the ground. The third one "Aaron Jekylle" threw it on the ground but the last one was beautiful it read on the front
Emma Jekylle House number 14, Godric's Hollow
I quickly ripped open the envelope and tore out the letter it said " Dear Emma Jekylle, you have been excepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The term will begin September 1,1991. The Hogwarts Express will deliver to the school at percisley 11:00 am at platform 9 ¾ ,Kings Cross station. Here is the list of necesties you will need throught the year. See you then,
Headmaster ALbus Dumbeldore
I screamed at the table " I'M NOT A SQUIB, I'M NOT A SQUIB! Look father I am a witch, Look at it Grover, look at it Aaron, Hey Caesar look at my letter! I can't wait for September 1st!
"Emma calm down we all knew you weren't a squib. Now lets see what you need for this year." My father took the letter out of Caesar's hand. He looked over it very carefully. "hmmm. Well there's only one place where we can get all of these items."
"Yes!" said Grover
"WOO-HOO!" exclaimed Aaron
"Diagon Alley." father said while gently patting my head
"were going by Floo network right?" I asked
"Of course! And no wondering, you stay right by my side or Caesars"
"ugh! I'm surrounded by idiots" yelled Caesar letting his head fall into his waffles,
I relized that Caesar does not like Floo network as I walked down the streets of a very crowded Diagon Alley. I knew this because as son as he got out of the fireplace he puked.
"Ok first stop Olivander's wand shop." My father said "Caesar, take your sister into Ollivanders and Madame Malkins we will meet you outside of the Magical Menagerie."
"Daaaaaaad." Sighed Caesar " I don't want to take herrr."
"do as I say Caesar." My father said sternly. As my father parted with Grover and Aaron. I thought to my self
Caesar just hates me. He is such a prick. How did he even get Gryffndor? He should have gotten Ravenclaw or Slytherin.
We walked into Ollivander's wand shop and I gawked at the wands which were everywhere. Literally everywhere. Up the walls and on the floor. It was amazing. Caesar did not seem to think so. He had a digusted look on his face as he stepped through the wands. I saw a little elderly man stood behind the counter. When he saw Caeser and I his face lighted up,I couldn't help but smile.
"hello. Welcome to Olivanders. What can I help you with."
Caesar answered for me " Hello Olivander, my sister needs a wand for her first year at Hogwarts."
smiled at me "Ahhhh I see, a bunch of first years just came in, one particular boy." He looked down at the floor "But no matter. Lets get this young witch settled now shall we"
Olivander grabbed a box from a pile of wands "yes this one, 9 inches and a phoenix feather. Try this one, give it a flick."
I took the wand from his hand and gave it a little flick. With that the pile of wands sitting in front of me blew away. Olivander shook his head "No,No not that one."
He then took the wand away from me and went to back. But as he walked to the back he tripped on a box. He looked at the wand and brought it towards me and Caesar. "Please my dear try this one, its 10 inches with a unicorn hair. Here."
Olivander handed me the wand and I took it out of the box. When I Looked at the wand I couldn't belive my eyes. It was light brown with a color that looked like fire creeping up the end of the wand and when I held it I knew it was the wand for me.
Olivander looked at me and nodded "oh yes this is the wand for you, it costs 10 galleons."
Caesar sighed and paid the man. I put my wand iin my pocket and walked next to Caesar.
"Caesar, Where are we going next?" I asked
"Madame Malkins robe shop im meeting Percy Weasly there" i looked up at Caesar and wondered how could he have friends
My brother and I walked over to Madam Malkins and he looked at me with a stern look "Look at me Em, don't do anything to embarrass me in front of Percy. All right he is a good friend."
We approached the store and four boys were standing outside the door "Alright Emma go on in and tell Madam Malkin your size for robes and I'll be in in a while."
My jaw dropped. He was just going to leave me in there with people I don't even know
Wait until Dad finds out. Wait. That's it. When dad finds out that Caesar left me in there by myself, Caesar will get into huge trouble.
I walked into Madam Malkins and looked around. It was not my favorite place in Daigon Alley but it was something. I looked around for Madam Mallkin "Madam Malkin are you there." No answer. I thought that I was alone in the store but then I saw a boy. He had pale skin and bleach blonde hair that was slicked back. He was not that bad looking.
"do you know where Madam Malkin Is?" I asked with a curious expression
He looked at me as if he saw a dragon. "ummm. She's in the back. Are you in your first year at Hogwarts as well."
"Yes I am."
"What house do you think you'll get. MY whole family is in Slytherin." He said with a smug look in his face tat reminded me of Caesar.
"well I don't know. My mother was in Ravenclaw, my father was in Gryffindor and my brothers are in Gryffindor. I hope I am in Gryffindor like them." I tried to get a smug look on my face but I just sighed.
"Oh. My paren" he stopped mid-sentence and looked behind me. I turned around to see Caesar. He was furious. He grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the boy.
"Emma, you weren't supposed to talk to anyone ,especially him ."
I was confused. What did the boy ever do to him? Why was he always so angry? What did I ever do to him? "Caesar! Grab my robes I can't go to school without them!"
"My god Emma your such a child maybe you should grow up a little." Caesar yelled. We walked in silence for a while until we came to the Magical Menagerie. Outside of the shop was my father, Grover and Aaron. "Hi guys. How was shopping?"
"it was great." I lied
" Well Olivanders was a complete mess and Emma met someone in Madam Malkin's." Caesar said to my dad.
"Oh really that's great. Now let's go in and get you an owl of your own." My dad said with a smile. I couldn't belive it an owl of my own. I had to start thinking of names for my new owl. There was Bert, Tilda, Myrtle, Thorin, Sammy. I traveled to the back of the store where I saw an owl. The owl was white with a red outline around its face and all over its tail.
"She's beautiful isn't she." a voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw a man who must have worked at the shop "Everybody seems to pass her by or doesn't want to buy her." He sighed. I looked at the beautiful owl and couldn't take my eyes off it.
"how much is she." I asked
"Only 9 sickles" he replied. I took out the 9 sickels and handed it to him. "this one please."
He took the money and handed me the bird with its cage. I took the bird with one hand and walked straight to my family. My father looked at the bird and asked me "What is her name, Em." I looked at the bird,smiled and said
"Scarlet."
I walked with my family and thought to myself
This will be an amazing year.
