Well, I am convinced that it isn't a joke. Yesterday we went to Diagon Ally, thru what they call The Underground. We spent almost all day there because the things they sold there were ever so interesting! I got my wand.that was possibly the most interesting part of the whole trip.
I looked at the racing brooms a little, but there were an awful lot of boys that were pushing and shoving to see a Nombis 200 or whatever it was called. So, I left and went to the book-store. I loved it there. I still do. I begged my mum and dad to get me some other books that weren't on the list but looked very interesting. I got books about Curses, Charms, Quiditch (Wizard sport), and many others.
The most boring part was getting robes and cloaks, yet, that wasn't boring in many ways. You see, it wasn't as exciting, let say, opening a Gringots account, but it served its purpose all the same. While she was fitting me, there were two girls that told me all about Hogwarts! They said things about the houses. Their names were Padam and Lavender, if I'm thinking correctly. Their twins. The houses are Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Both of them wanted to be in different houses, one Gryffindor the other Ravenclaw. I can't remember which wanted which. After they told me about the houses and what it takes to get into them, I decided I wanted to be in Ravenclaw.
Ravenclaw is for the clever and quick witted. Next best in my opinion would be Gryffindor. Then Hufflepuff. But, from what I've heard about the Slytherin lot, they sound like the worst possible house to ever be in! Cunning and sly? I'll just about die if I get in that house, but then again, that house is better than none. They also said something about how you got sorted. I'm not sure if they are right. They said that someone named George said it was very painful, but they hoped he was joking. He also said it was very hard and that you had to do many spells. I think that I better start practicing some of those curses and charms in my books so I won't have a hard time.
I can't wait until September 1. That is when I get to go to Hogwarts. Although my mum and dad are still waiting for a letter from her cousin to tell us how in the world we are supposed to get there! Mum says that the underground won't work.
Oh! I almost forgot to tell you something that I learned from reading my history books. There is this boy named Harry Potter. He is known all over the world as the boy that lived. He should be 11 this year, it would be interesting if I got to meet him.
