Hi! My name is Michelle. I'm eleven years old, currently. I just thought I'd give you a little background about me, before I start. I have shoulder-length strawberry-red hair and hazel eyes. I'm very tall, according to a lot of the people I know. I'm a half-blood. My mum is a witch, and my dad is a muggle. This story is about my adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Well, here goes.

Chapter 1

"Come on, Michelle! You're going to miss the train!" My mother shouted down the stairs.

I knew for a fact that the train wouldn't get there for an hour or two, my mother was just trying to scare me awake. It didn't work.

"Five more minutes, please!" I shouted back.

"I already gave you five minutes! Get up here, NOW!" My mother has a pretty bad temper sometimes.

"ALRIGHT… I'll be up in a minute."

I got out of bed and looked through my closet. This took awhile, considering my closet is the messiest closet in the WORLD. I can't find a single thing in my closet. Shirts, pants, socks, shoes, EVERYTHING is mixed up in my closet. After ten minutes of searching, I found a pair of jeans and my favorite shirt. It's blue and says in silver writing, 'The WORLD needs more HUGS'. It's the perfect shirt for me. I love to hug a little TOO much. It scares my dad, but only a little.

After I got my shoes on, I walked slowly upstairs. That is I TRIED to walk up slowly, but I smelled pancakes and bacon, my favorite breakfast foods in the world.

"Morning, mum." I said as I sat at the table and yawned.

"Morning, sleepyhead." She said in reply.

"When is breakfast going to be ready?" I asked.

"When it's ready." My dad said as he walked through the kitchen to get to the living room.

"Why can't that be now?" I asked him.

He didn't answer me.

"Fine! Be that way!" I shouted.

"Breakfast is ready!" My mum shouted to my dad.

"I'm not hungry."

"Whatever you say. Come here if you want something to eat, Michelle."

I ran over, got a plate, grabbed three strips of bacon and one pancake, and slowly walked back to the table, so as not to drop my food.

"This is REALLY good, mum!" I said as I stuffed my face.

"Thank-you. I can see you're hungry today."

"Uh-huh." I said through a mouthful of food.

I finished eating, and put my plate in the sink. Then, I went out to the living room and sat on the couch next to my dad.

"Whatcha watchin'?" I asked.

"I don't know."

He was flicking through the channels with the remote, trying to decide what to watch. My dad can never decide on what to watch, so I decided to go back to the kitchen and see what mum was doing.

She was washing the dishes. Not very exciting.

"When are we leaving?"

"Soon, maybe in a half hour. Why don't you get your trunk in the car?"

"Alright."

I went down to the basement, and found my trunk at the bottom of the stairs, with my cat sitting on top of it.

"Sorry, kitty, but I need my trunk."

As soon as I grabbed my trunk, the cat jumped off, and ran into my room.

"Oh well."

I dragged my trunk up the stairs, grabbed the keys to my mums car, unlocked it, and put my trunk in the back.

"Well, that's done."

I sighed. I was getting bored. 'At least we're leaving soon.' I thought. At the thought of going to Hogwarts, my stomach filled with butterflies, and my heart raced. I've wanted to go to Hogwarts for years, and now it was finally happening.

I was excited, but I was nervous, too. It was going to be strange living with people I didn't know. THAT was what was making me nervous. I never did well when it came to meeting new people. Mostly other girls, though. I did fine when I met new guys, but I could never talk to other girls.

I went inside and sat at the table again.

"How much longer till we leave, mum?"

"I think we're ready to leave now."

"REALLY?!"

"Yep. Go get your cat and get in the car. I'll be out in a second."

"Okay mum." I said excitedly.

I was FINALLY going to Hogwarts!
