Lozz was getting up her dark brown hair waved from her skull. 'Pointless trying to brush it' She thought. Lozz had finally finished her shower drying her hair and straightening it when the door went. She slipped on clothes and wandered down to see who her mum was now talking to.
"So we would be honored to have her attend Hogwarts" A deep kindly voice finished.
"Ahh here she is" Her mum noticed her listening in. "Hunny this is Professor Dumbledore from Hogwarts" Then she let Dumbledore take over and he explained how she was a witch. Lozz wondered if this was all a joke but knowing her mother's sense of humor it wasn't her idea.
"You cannot be serious." Lozz said looking at the list of things she would need. "Where could I get a wand in London?"
"Well I could show you if you wish"
"Err can my mum come too?"
"Why of course" Lozz only realized his eyes were blue when she seen the glint in them. She eyed him cautiously as he told them both to grip his arms tightly. It was a funny feeling she dared not to open her eyes but there was a horrid feeling like she was being whirled through space. For all she knew they were. "Open your eyes" He said. They were in a pub. A grungy place with someone behind the till who looked like the hunchback of Notre Dame. She followed Dumbledore but watched around the room in case any of the poorly dressed people attacked them but they never. Dumbledore tapped a brick and that was when she realized magic was real. The wall opened and there were a lot of people rushing after pets and brooms and just really random thing Lozz swore she saw a cauldron being dropped in front of a shop but in a blink of the eye it was gone. There was a big building with the glinting word Gringott's on the front of it. Her mother followed Dumbledore and Lozz followed her mother. The entered this place named 'Gringott's' and saw ugly looking midgets but looking closely she could make out that they were Goblin's. She stuck closer to her mother now. Dumbledore talked in hush voices to the Goblin and handed over her mum's credit card. She was giving her money to go to the magic school? "That will equal 394 Galleons 2 sickles and a knut that is a lot are you sure you would like this ma'am?"
"Yes" My mother replied to the Goblin in a steady voice.
"Okay then your vault number shall be number 937 would you like to visit it? The money is being put in now."
"Yes please" Lozz said quite proud she managed to get a word out.
"Griphook!"
"Yes?"
"Show Miss Mckenell and her mother to her vault would you please" Dumbledore was waiting behind?
Nevertheless Lozz and her mum wandered on a unstable looking mine cart. "See you later Professor Dumbledore "Lozz managed a smile and a wave which he returned. It looked like it was her and her mum from now on.
She looked again at the letter:

Ok so uniform first. The heard talk about how Madam Malkin's was the best robe shop around so they set out to find it. After 5 minutes of wander she seen the sign and raced on while her mother was left with 5 galleons to buy the books from Flourish and Blott's. She raced in. "Hogwarts darling?" The woman who was currently dealing with a messy dark haired boy and a platinum blonde haired boy asked.
"Ehh Yes"
"Ok darling stand here yes here and I'll take your measurements."
Lozz done what she had been told and listened into the Dark haired boy and light haired boy's conversation which was interrupted after the dark haired boy left to follow a extremely large man. She once again saw Dumbledore showing another 'Muggle-born' where to go.
"Who are you?" The light haired boy was facing her now.
"Lozz and you?"
"Draco, Draco Malfoy. I'm sure you've heard of my dad he's big in the Ministry of Magic."
"Mm" Lozz pondered what to say and decided she wasn't going to be a outcast."Yes I have heard of him."
"What house you expecting to be in?"
Lozz had overheard him saying something about 'Slytherin' being a house and 'Hufflepuff' she had heard 'Ravenclaw' and 'Gryffindor' being mentioned by the large man to the dark haired boy. "Ravenclaw" She said.
"Ahh another one with brains huh?"
"Well I'd like to be but I'm not very brainy so I don't know"
"What houses were your parent's in?"
"Never met my dad but my mum was in..." She was saved by the light haired boy leaving.
"See you on the train...maybe" he said as he left.
Lozz wasn't going to be an outcast. A large grin crept on her face. "There you go deary" The kind witch handed over her three sets of black robes and her black pointed hat and last but not least her winter coat with silver fastenings. "Excuse me but can you tell be where i could get some Dragon hide protective gloves?"
"Oh yes we sell them here do you want some?"
"Yes it's on our list"
Mrs Malkin handed over the greenish tinted gloves and charged her 5 Galleons for the lot. "Thank you" she said as she left.
After her mum had bought the required books she had 10 Galleons left and hearing wands were 7 Galleons she went back to the back taking out another 10. 364 Galleons left in the bank. She decided wand came first so she wandered with 7 Galleons with her mum searched for a cauldron, set glass or crystal phials, a telescope and a set brass scales after getting her wand: Acacia and Dragon, Twelve and a Half inches, Brittle and returning to her mum who had also got her a snowy white owl she had 1 Galleon 4 Sickles and 3 knuts. Apparently she had to get to king's cross in 10 minutes. Then she saw him wandering no Muggle-borns. "Professor Dumbledore" she said as she ran up to him. "How do we get to Platform 9 and 3/4 in 10 minutes with no car and when there is not platform 9 and 3/4?"
