Entry in Sarah's diary
I, Sarah L. Grant, am going to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I'm so excited! The wizard school I attended in America was great, but I've never been anywhere else. I've barely been out of the state. When my teacher told me that the school wanted me to attend Hogwarts as an exchange student I was so excited. Everyone knows that it's the best school in the world. I'll miss my friends especially my best friend Danielle. She told me she'd owl me at least once a week. I've never been far away from home and from my friends. But I've always thought that there was more out there in the world for me to see and that I was destined to be somewhere else.
In less than twenty-four hours I'll be at Hogwarts. The train leaves tomorrow. I'll be traveling by Floo powder to a witches house because I can't get to the train station by Floo powder. There's too many people around. The witch will then take me to Platform 9 and 3/4 at the train station. I'd better get to sleep now, I have to get up in less then six hours so that I'll be ready on time.
