"Happy birthday hon." My mother passed me down a gift.

"Now, you can't open this until September 1st, okay?"

"Yes daddy.

My parents, Kirk and Alexandra MacKenzie, were the best. Aside from my younger brother, Tyler, and even younger sister, Brassica (I call them the Devil's Progeny), my life was perfect. I was the most popular girl in my class, and all of the guys had a crush on me. And I just turned 11.

"Happy birthday to you, you smell like burned poo!" Oh goody. The Progeny have turned themselves on.

"Tyler! Brassica! Apologise to Camelina right now!"

"Sorry Cammy."

As the Progeny continued taunting me, a giant snowy owl came in through the window. It was carrying a letter, with the address printed in green ink.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"Jeez, I thought Dumbledore would abolish that rule."

"Kirk - "

"What?"

"I think getting Camelina her equipment and telling Minerva that she will be coming is a much more pressing issue than wether or not she can have her own broomstick."

"Uh, mom?" I ventured. "You do remember how much I hate being referred to in the third person, right?"

"Er, absolutely."

"Cammy?"

"Yes daddy?"

"Who do you want to take you to Diagon Alley? Your mother, the one who will buy you books and then take you to museums, or your daddy, the one who will take you to test-fly brooms."

"Obvious answer. No offense or anything mom, but I want dad to take me."

"Righto. Well, get ready, we have two days until Hagrid gets here, and we won't be leaving London after he picks us up."

**************************************************************************************************************

"Camelina! Hurry Up! Hagrid isn't going to wait for us!" My dad yelled up the stairs at me.

"Okay daddy! What should I wear?"

"Muggle clothes."

"KIRK!" My mom poked her head out of the bathroom window. "Don't confuse her any more! Camelina dear, just wear normal clothing."

"Thanks mom."

"Your welcome dear."

"CAMMY! HURRY UP!"

**************************************************************************************************************

As my father and I walked down Main, towards the square, I started to ask him questions about his time at Hogwarts.

"So, dad, where exactly is Hogwarts?"

"No one is really sure. I think it's in Scotland though."

"Okay, what does it look like?"

"It's a giant castle - HAGRID!!! HELLO!" I looked up at the man my dad was waving at. He was about 8 feet tall, and twice the size of a normal man.

"Kirk! How are you?"

"Excellent. What are we using to get to Diagon Alley?"

"Portkey. It connects in 30 seconds."

"Oh, Hagrid, this is Camelina. Cammy, just touch the Portkey."

"Okay." I held on to the portkey, as Hagrid counted down.

"Five, Four, Three, Two, One." My surroundings started spinning around me, and suddenly I hit a cobblestone street.

"Camelina, welcome to Diagon Alley." My dad made a sweeping gesture at the street that we had landed in. "So, do you want to get your wand first?"

"Sure."

"Well then, Kirk, since you are here, I'd better get back to Hogwarts, I left Fang with Snape." Hagrid announced. My dad laughed.

"Is that egotistical bastard still there?"

"Yep."

"Oh, I hope Fang ate him. Well then, good bye."

"Bye Hagrid."

"Bye." Hagrid turned and walked out of Diagon Alley.

"So, you said you wanted to get your wand first?"

"Yeah, do you mind?"

"No, but we have to go to Gringotts first."

"Gringotts?"

"Bank."

"I see."

"No you don't."

"You're right... oh well, lead the way."
