My
First Year








By: Michael Lane















Chapter 1
Diagon Alley

One day I was reading about the last quidditch match when I heard a rattling on the window. It was an Owl with a letter tied around its leg. The letter said:

I ran to my mom and dad and showed them the letter. Then after they looked over the letter I asked if I could go and they said "yes" and said, "we are going to go to Diagon alley tomorrow and get you your stuff." So I headed upstairs to send the Owl with the answer and went to sleep.
The next day we headed to The Leaky Cauldron. When we steeped in everyone was surrounding a giant and a kid. I recognized the giant as Hagrid the guy my dad went to school with. At first I didn't realize who the kid was until I saw the scar and recognized he was Harry Potter. Then my parents led me to the back and to a brick wall and told me to tap on the part of the wall on top of the trash can in this order: Three up Two across. Then A small whole started to appear and grew bigger until I could step through it into an alley. Then we headed towards Madam Malkin's Robe's for all occasions. Right when I walked in Madam Malkin led me to the back and asked "Hogwarts? Michael" she said since she knew me she knew my name it went very quick. Then we went and got me a Animal. I got a Owl. Then we went to get my wand and everything else. Then my mom said to celebrate going to Hogwarts we were going to go to Hogsmead. We did and got some Butter beer. Then we headed home and I asked if I could go to Ron Weasleys and spend the knight. They said yes and we headed to Ron's. When we got there it turned out Ron had not got his stuff and would tomorrow. So we decided I would meet my parents at Diagon Alley tomorrow. That night Ron and me sat up all night talking about the quidditch game I had been reading about. Then we went to bed. The next morning we went to Diagon Alley and I saw my Parents there and we all went and got Ron, Gorge and Fred's stuff. Then we all went to Ron's house and had some lunch. Then my Mom, dad and me went home and got there soon enough to watch the quidditch game. After the game we had dinner and went to sleep. The next day I got an owl from Ron asking if I would like to go with them to Kings cross and I responded no my mom and dad were taking me to Hogsmead first than I was going to catch the train.
