I went to get the post. Now, I'm staring at a letter from a place called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's for me. I open it. I've been accepted to Hogwarts. But, I'm not quite sure where to find my school supplies. I don't think I know magic, and I know my parents don't know magic. They're just farmers. Well, I guess I should figure out where to find all these things. Well, it says what shops they're at, but I'm not quite sure where to find these shops.
~One Week Later~
Well, I'm at the King's Cross Station, trying to find platform 9 and 3/4. "Bye, Mum. Bye, Daddy. I'll miss you", I hug my parents. "Ellie, I love you. Will you be ok while I'm gone?", I ask my younger sister, Elizabeth. "I will. I have my friends at school and Cow. Cow might miss you, though." "Well, I'll miss Cow as well." Cow is our speckled horse. "Write us when you get to your independant school.", my mum replies. "Bye, guys. I love you.", I say. "We love you too.", they exclaim at the same time. They walk out the tran station and I go back to trying to find platform 9 and 3/4. There's some people that have the same supplies that are on my supply list. "Excuse me, do you know where platform 9 and 3/4 is?", I ask. A small woman with red hair and 6 kids replies, "We're going to the same place as you dear, just follow us. Are you a first year?" "Yes. This is my first year. Where did you find your supplies?", I answer. "As soon as you get off the train, tell a big, hairy man that you have no school supplies. He can help you. He'll be helping the other students . His name is Hagrid." "Oh, by the way, that's Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Ginny, and Percy. It's also Ginny's first year.", she says, pointing each kid she has. I'm thinking Harry is not a blood relative. All of them except for Harry has ginger hair and freckles. And I'm pretty sure that Fred and George are twins. Fred runs into a wall, but passes through. Then George does the same, then Percy, then Ginny and I go at the same time following her parents. "Wow, that's a big train.", Ginny says. "Yeah.", I reply in amazement. "Come on, boys and girls, on the train.", says a big, tall, hairy man. I'm pretty sure that's Hagrid. We all get on the train. Me and Ginny follow the twins. We ride on the train for a few hours before realizing that we left the other two boys that were with Ginny and her siblings earlier. "What are we going to do?", Ginny asks. "I don't know. This is a first for me!", I exclaim. "Maybe they're in another car." We stop worrying and start thinking that that's the case. We soon reach a huge castle that probably has 8 or 9 floors. We all get on boats and ride on the boat from the train to the castle. We get out and are all greeted by a tall, elderly lady with gray hair. She says her name, Minerva McGonagall, then she gives a speech about something called the sorting hat and the Start-Of-Term feast. we all form a line and go into a huge room with floating candelabras and lots of food and 4 very long tables. I wait patiently. "Sapphire Perkins.", Professor McGonagall calls me up to see the sorting hat. Turns out, the sorting hat is a talking hat. "Not ambitious, not very patient either, not very daring, better be Ravenclaw!", says the Sorting Hat.
And now I'm in Ravenclaw. I sit down at the table. "Hi. You seem lonely. I'm Luna Lovegood." says a girl with dirty blonde hair and grey eyes. "Hi, I'm Sapphire, Sapphire Perkins." "I'm guessing you're called Sapphire after your eyes.", she says. It's true, my eyes are the reason behind my name. They are the exact color of a sapphire, and my hair is jet black. "Yes, it is. I hate it, though." "They're rare and pretty, though." We talk and eat before we are sent to our dorms/common rooms.
