It is very early in the morning as I right this. Today is the day that I get to go to Hogwarts! We got the letter form my Mum's cousin; I now know her name, Arabella Figg. She said that in order to get on the train, go to platform 9 and 10 and walk in-between them both.
I'm very nervous about this. Once we get there we will be sorted! My parents gave me 10 galleons to spend on whatever I like, incase they sell things there. I do hope I'm not in Slytherin of course. I've been practicing small spells; I couldn't get the harder curses and hexes down.
I want to make some friends naturally. I wonder if Harry Potter will be there. Oh, I've read about the headmaster Albus Dumbledore. He sounds like a very notable wizard in our society.
I'm not going to wear my new wizard robes on the way to the train because is might make some "muggles" curious. That is what you call non-magic folk, I read it in one of my books, How to Keep the Wizardry World Safe from Muggle Eyes. It's very interesting.
I promise I'll find time to write about the sorting and the train once I have time.
LATER
This has been the best day of my life! I'm going to write exactly what happened in as much detail as I can because I'm really tired. The feast really filled me up and made me tired, but a promise is a promise, and I promised to write. Just like I promised my mum to write in this when she gave me it, I used to have another diary, but this one will be more interesting because it'll have stuff to do with wizards.
Well, I got on the train all right. I picked a compartment with those girls that I met at the robe shop. I didn't talk much. Then a boy named Neville came into our compartment and asked if we had seen a toad as he lost one. I decided since I wasn't having much fun, I might as help give him a hand and help him look. That proved to be more fun then it sounded. I met Harry Potter. He didn't look anything like I pictured him. He was very skinny, but kind of cute at the same time. He was with someone else, Ron.I'm positive his real name is Ronald. Anyway, they were trying to practice magic! Hah! It was a spell I've never heard of and while I was watching them I was thinking that they couldn't do it.they didn't.it was a silly little spell anyway.
Well, once we got that, I assure you I was quite excited. And nervous. Well, we had to get in these boats that floated by magic across the lake. It was a wonderful view! The castle was huge and beautiful! Once we got there a Professor named McGonagall told us about the rules at Hogwarts. She told us that we were about to be sorted into one of the four houses at Hogwarts; Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. I saw a blond boy smile when she said that last name.
I was talking to that boy that lost his toad about what spells I might have to use. He was hanging on my every word. I kind of enjoyed that really. It made me feel special.
Anyway, as it turned out you didn't have to cast any spells whatsoever! It was just a silly little lie those Fred and George people made up! There was however a very old hat on a stool. McGonagall said that we were to go up and sit on the stool and put on the hat.
She called out several names before she called my own. It was scary! The "sorting hat" was teetering between what house I belonged in. It mentioned Ravenclaw, I was very hopeful when he said that, and Gryffindor the most. He didn't say Slytherin at all, which made me happy. He said Hufflepuff once. Anyway, after he thought a while he yelled out GRYFFINDOR! Oh well, I mean, it was my second choice, right?
Well, after the sorting was done, Dumbledore made food appear on our plates! It was a grand meal, or should I say feast. It had all my favorite things and food stuffs I had no idea what it was. It was wonderful.
After the feast was over, the Prefect of Gryffindor who I was talking to during the feast led us to our common rooms. It was ever so pretty! He pointed the girls to their dormitories and led the boys to theirs. Well, and then I took this book out and starting writing. I must go to sleep. I wouldn't want to be tired for my very frist classes tomarrow!
