I was 16 years old when I first came to Hogwarts. I was born and raised in Canada unlike my two older brothers Alex and Eric who went to Hogwarts when they turned eleven years old. I went to the School of Prospect Witches and Wizards when I turned eleven years old. If it weren't for my father's job, I wouldn't have to come to Hogwarts. Even though my brothers have told me how great Hogwarts was and both my mother and father were raving about their wonderful memories of Hogwarts, I wasn't as positive as they were on the subject. I wasn't too fond of the idea of leaving all my friends behind. But soon came the day for me to leave what was and face what would be.

I remember my first day at Hogwarts. My mother, father and two brothers came to wish my good luck and a safe journey to Hogwarts. After I loaded my belongings, I was one of the lasts to board the Hogwarts Express. I went from compartment asking if I could sit with them, but they didn't look to keen on letting me sit with them.

I sadly wandered around looking for a compartment when finally a girl about my age looked at me sympathetically and let me sit with her and her friends. I said, "Thank you for letting me sit with all of you. I've been wandering compartment to compartment trying to find a seat, but no one has really let me in which is a bit nerve wrecking." The girl who said I could sit with her said, "No problem. I see that you're new. Not from around here are you?" "No, I'm not, I'm from Canada. Grew up there my whole life, though my 2 older brother and my parents came to Hogwarts. Before I forget, my name's Mina." "I'm Alicia, nice to meet you. This is Oliver, Fred, George, Angelina, and Katie. We all play on the Quidditch House team together." "But aren't there seven players in Quidditch?" "Oh, we do have seven players, it's just that Harry isn't with us. He's our seeker." "I see."

I became a nervous wreck when I found out I was to be sorted into a house. I was told that there were four houses, and that Alicia and all them were in Gryffindor, and that Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were alright, but I never ever, ever wanted to be sorted into Slytherin. I was really happy when I was sorted into Gryffindor, since I that way I would already know someone.

Hogwarts wasn't as bad as I had imagined it to be. I shared a room with Alicia, Angelina, and Katie who were all really nice to me. They found my things very amusing. Like my music, old pictures, and so on. Fred and George were always lots of fun and highly amusing pranksters. I would occasionally get to play pranks with them. Harry and his friends' Ron and Hermione were really nice. Ron was a real cutie, so adorable I thought. And Hermione was brilliant for her age. Ron's brother, Percy was really nice, a bit of an overdose on the "can't break rules" bit, but generally very nice, so was his girlfriend Penelope. Penelope was really nice and sweet, thank god she wasn't as bad as Percy on the rules. I generally made many acquaintances (except for those in Slytherin) but the only person who seemed to not acknowledge me was Oliver. I asked Angelina about him, and she told me that Wood was really dedicated to Quidditch and that many girls fell head over heels for him, though he had never actually gone out with any of these girls. Actually, from what she knew, Wood had never had a girlfriend for as long as she knew him. Who knew that would have changed since I came to Hogwarts though.
