A/N: Hey all welcome to the first chapter of It's a Whole New World We Live In. This is the first story that I have written on fanfiction. Set around fifteen to twenty years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Please R&R. oh and please tell me if I make any spelling mistakes as I know how frustrating that can be to readers.
Disclaimer: I hereby state that I do not own Harry Potter whatsoever however Carson Conwell is my own creation as is any other OC you see.
Maybe, for once, it's not about the happy ending. Maybe it's about the story.
Chapter one: The letter
Carson Conwell was just entering his house after a big game of Quidditch with some of his friends, when his mum called him. "Carson, could you come into the kitchen please." Without further ado Carson arrived. Carson was an eleven year old boy. He had the average height of someone his age and had icy blue eyes. He had light brown hair and was slightly tanned. He had a very flippant tongue and would accidently offend people without realising what they he was doing until he had already said it.
"Yes, mum," he replied "What is it?"
"You have a letter here from Professor Mcgonagall it's your acceptance into Hogwarts." Carson tore the letter open and read. Dear Mr Conwell I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Inside you will find a list of all the items you will need. Term begins on 1st September. We await your owl for registration. Sincerely Minerva Mcgonagall
"I'll just go upstairs and send their reply through Gwenddin." Carson raced up the stairs and immediately started writing a reply. Dear Headmistress Mcgonagall I would be honoured to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and will attend on the 1st September. Carson Conwell.
Carson was so excited in a matter of weeks he would be attending Hogwarts. "Carson we will head to Diagon Alley tomorrow to collect your things." Too excited to do anything Carson jumped into bed and let sleep take him.
Carson awoke and headed down for breakfast eager to head off to Diagon Alley. He had been there of course one of the perks of been a wizard and of having a lot of money. They would be traveling by Floo network. Carson was never one to enjoy apparition so they all decided that Floo powder would be the best.
Carson stepped into the grate and muttered Diagon Alley and was suddenly engulfed in a world of green. He was spinning for what seemed like minutes and finally came to a stop in a small pub. His parents followed right after and they headed for the back entrance. Tapping the bricks in the right order an archway was shown and there was Diagon Alley.
Giddy as a school girl on their first day at school. Carson was running from one window to the next. His parents managed to drag him away from the broomstick inside the window and they headed to Gringotts.
A small Goblin by the name of Lincoph showed them to their vault. Inside was a huge pile of money. Carson grabbed as much as he could and put it in his money bag. They left Gringotts and headed off to buy his things. First they went to Flint's potion shop and bought all is supplies for potions. Then they continued onto Rilvert's wands of ever sorts. Olivander had stopped making wands since the dark days of Voldemort ended.
"Hello Rilvert are you there?" Carson's dad asked.
Sliding came from the side and Rilvert hopped off a ladder. "Ah Mr and Mrs Conwell how good to see you I take young master Carson is here for his wand. Hmm let's see now Gilbert I never had the honour of giving you your wand, but I do believe that it is 8 inches with unicorn horn as its core. Susanna I do believe that Olivander had the pleasure yours was made phoenix feather I do believe.
"Now for you Carson yours will be very tricky a unicorn and a phoenix is a unique combination. However as you ought to know by now that it's the wand that chooses the wizard. Let's see how about his one 9 inches yew made from the heartstring of a dragon wonderful for defence magic."
Carson took the wand and immediately a bang was sounded at the back of the store. "Hmm apparently not, don't fret I'll clean that up later. How about this newest core ever 12 inches yew with hippogriff feather." Suddenly light burst all around him and a small wisp came out the end of the wand. "Excellent I believe we have found you your wand. Now it will be 20 sickles for the wand.
His mother handed over the money and they collected the rest of their items and headed home. Carson couldn't wait to learn real magic it would be so much fun. They then headed back to the Leaky Cauldron and Flooed back home. "I'm going to go back upstairs and look at my books." Carson exclaimed. With that Carson headed up and piled all his things into a trunk may as well start early.
A/N: There we have it the first chapter may seem a bit slow at first, but it will start moving once he gets to Hogwarts. R&R and I hope you enjoy this series.
