I jumped out of bed, looked at the clock next to me and groaned. I still had two more hours before I even had to be up! This always happens, whenever I'm excited I can't sleep and when I finally do I wake up early and can't fall back asleep. But what can you expect I am eleven years old and the idea of going to a new school is exciting! Especially a new school like the one I am going to!

Let's start at the beginning. We'd have to go back to when I was about six years old. Mom was making pancakes and I HATE pancakes- I know it's weird, everyone loves em but I don't ok? Get used to it. Anyway! Mom was making pancakes and told me I had to eat oatmeal if I wasn't going to eat my pancakes. Petunia was excited because it was her favorite and she gave me a smug look. That was enough to throw me over the edge (let's face it I was six, a taunting older sibling will do that to a girl). We started fighting and just as I was thinking I'd like to pour the pancake batter over her head it suddenly lifted from the table and dumped all over petunia.

Alright so that was freaky. I didn't know how to explain it, nobody did. We got over it quickly though and I went through the next couple of years without incident. There were odd little things that happened. Whenever I got a scab it'd heal over a lot faster than any of petunias. One time the bully at school was picking on my best friend jenny and somehow he got a bloody nose right when he was going to push her down. Little things like that, but back then I chalked it up to a mixture of karma and coincidence. Anyway on my eighth birthday something extraordinary happened. I was having a big party with all my best friends and of course petunia who was my best friend of all. We were at the pool, splashing around and having a good time. Mom had just called everyone out of the pool telling us it was time for cake and ice cream and everyone was scrambling to get out. I was running alone the pool and I slipped and fell into the deep end. In all the fuss nobody really saw me. Mom was putting candles on the cake and everyone was chattering away. Meanwhile I had been taken off guard and could not find my way to the surface and slowly felt myself getting more and more tired. I had given up and was letting myself sink to 

the bottom when suddenly I felt a jolt and I shot through the water and up into the air and actually flew onto the grass nearby. I was not hurt at all.

Alright I know this seems quite pointless to tell you as it happened so long ago but I'm just saying this is what led up to this exact moment in my life. Today is the day that I leave on the Hogwarts express for Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
