NEW BEGINNINGS
The car journey to King's Cross Station was an emotional one.
Peter Pettigrew came from a Muggle family, and two weeks ago he had found out that he was a wizard and was heading off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scotland.
It had taken a lot of convincing for his parents to agree to him attending Hogwarts, but they had finally said yes.
He was sitting in the back seat of his dad's car, staring out the window at his house.
The car started up and they backed out of their driveway.
Peter stared at his house one last time.
His life was about to change forever.
The car was now driving along the motorway, and Peter stared at the other cars. He saw a boy about his age in a car next to theirs and smiled.
He was unbelievably lucky.
He was a wizard! He was going to be leaning magic! He felt sorry for the people in the other cars who were on their way to work in offices or shops or factories.
He was on his way to start a new life.
A magical life.
When the car pulled up at King's Cross Station, his mum turned and looked at him with a sad smile.
"Are you ready?"
And he was.
"Bring it on," he said with a grin. This would be the best seven years of his life.
