On a bright, sunny, Saturday, an 11-year old girl called Echo Birch was sitting on a fence, talking to her horse. Echo had bright gray-green eyes, and long brown hair pulled into a neat braid. Her parents were wizards, and they lived on a farm. They kept a horse for Echo, because she was absolutely obsessed and even went to a muggle riding school. Star, her chestnut mare was a Morgan, and at the moment was nosing through echo's pockets in search of a carrot.
At that moment, an owl came flying through the clouds to land on the fence post near Echo. It had a letter tied to its leg. Echo took it off, and the owl took flight. Echo looked at the letter. It had the hogwarts stamp on it. Echo knew this because her older sister went there. She ran inside to show her parents.
"Hey mum, look!" Echo told her mother, who was resting in an armchair.
"Mrs. Birch looked, and then said, "open it then, dear"
Echo did, and the letter read:
Dear Ms. Birch,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins September 1.we await your owl by no later than July 31.
Sincerely,
Minerva McGonall
Minerva McGonanall
Deputy headmistress
"WOW! Mum, I'm going to Hogwarts!!" echo was grinning from ear to ear.
Her mother was smiling. When her dad came home from work, he grinned also at the news, and Echo's sister, Karen, was estastic.
"Wow Echo, you can come to school with me this September! Tite!"
In august, echo and her family went to diagon alley to get school supplies. They bought their books and robes and everything else until all that was left was Echo's wand.
Echo went into the store, and tried out 21 wands until finally, the wand with a unicorn tail hair, mahogany, 12 inches fit her.
"Now all that's left is your pet," Karen told echo, "Maybe an owl would be nice."
"No, I want a cat," Echo told her sister, "I think that owls are sort of ugly."
The girls left their parents and walked into the magical menagerie. There were animals all over. Echo and Karen went to the section that had most of the cats. Echo looked them all over. She finally set on a black kitten with green eyes, which was content to sit on her shoulder.
"What are you going to name her, sweetheart?" asked Mr. Birch.
"I dunno. I think, uhm… I think… midnight? No wait, Blackie! Naw, Maybe night? Evening? Star? I got it! Shadow!! Yeah, Shadow!" Echo exclaimed.
"Tite!" her sister said.
The day ended, and Echo and her family left for home.
On the day that Echo had to go to kings cross station, she was hugging star tearfully, and saying, "I love you. Oh I love you. I love you so much." Then her mother called, and they were off to platform 9¾.
On the train, Echo bumped into a pretty girl with light blond hair.
"Oh. Sorry." Echo told her.
"No problem," The girl replied, "I'm crystal smith."
"I'm echo birch. Pleased to meet you." Echo told the girl.
"Can I sit here?" asked crystal.
"Sure." Said echo. Soon the two girls were chatting away, and were fast friends. Crystal had green eyes, and a pretty white cat called snowflake. While they were talking, the door burst open and a guy with brown hair and brown eyes burst in followed by a guy with messy hair and green eyes, and another guy who looked like the first, except he was skinnier.
"Oh. Sorry" said the first.
"Ookay." Crystal said. On the boys way out back the door, one called, "oh yeah, we're here!"
`Do you think that they're all like that?" echo asked.
" I dunno, but they were sort of cute." The girls giggled. They got off the train and a big guy was yelling, "first years over here!" the first years followed him onto boats and rowed across the lake. Echo found herself in a boat with Crystal and another girl called Lily. She was nice, and the three girls were chatting while taking turns rowing. When they arrived into the great hall, they all looked up. There were thousands of white candles floating above them. And above that, there was a beautiful sky, filled with stars. There were "oohs," and "aahs" from the first years. Then everyone formed a line and the sorting began. Echo was so nervous. She snapped out of it when the woman next to the hat called, "Birch, Echo." And echo walked forward and placed the hat on her head. Hmm… where should I put you? Echo jumped. The hat was talking! Let's see… nice, brave, smart though. Could be ravenclaw. Naw, why not GRYFFINDOR!
Echo walked to the table that she hoped was the gryffindors, because they were cheering. She sat in an empty seat and watched the sorting. She smiled at the next one. It was the boy who had crashed through the door in the train! "Black, Sirius" called the witch. He was in gryffindor. Remus lupin, also one of the boys, was the next one she recognized. He was a gryffindor also. As was the other boy with messy hair. Lily was put into gryffindor, and sat down next to Echo.
"Omigod. I hope crystal gets gryffindor also," Lily told echo, "I'm so nervous!" Crystal did get put in gryffindor, and the girls began to talk again. They were interrupted when albus dumbledore, the headmaster, like Karen had said to echo, stood up, and began making announcements, and ended with, " now just a few words, and we will sing the school song. He said a couple of nonsense words, and then the whole great hall burst into song. After that, food started popping up on the plates.
"Whoa" said Lily. Everyone started eating. The food seemed never ending. Everyone was practically bursting when the food finally disappeared.
