Please review, and be honest. Flames are excepted, but stupid ones will make JM sic her fans on the flamers!(JM: Grrr... no flaming the newbie! It's her first fic!)


A girl that had light brown hair and yellowish gold eyes sat at a table. A German Shepard puppy that had amber optics lay on her lap. The girl looked up when a brown owl swooped in and landed on the table, tied to its leg was a letter. She untied it and opened up the letter and gasped as she began to read:

Dear miss Civil Sparks,

You have been invited to attend Hogwarts the school of witchcraft and wizardry.

It didn't have much else to say only telling her what kinds of things she needed to get before she went to the school. Her smile that had appeared while reading the letter got bigger as she realized that she could bring the German Shepard with her. "Ranger come on lets get ready," Civil said to the puppy on her lap.

Ranger let out a happy bark and leaped off Civil's lap and she stood up. Civil raced to her room. After she got all her stuff together, then went to the fireplace after grabbing some Floo powder. She threw the Floo powder into the fireplace and stepped in. "Diagon Alley!" She yelled.

Soon she was in Diagon Alley. She smiled as she looked around, then looked down at the letter and decided to get her books first. She went to the shelves, selected some books and paid for them.

The next thing she did was go to get her wand. No one was at the counter when she walked in. "Is anyone here?" She asked. Eventually an old man appeared around a corner, nodded at her, and then disappeared for another few minutes. When he came back, he held out a wand.

"Just give it a flick." He said. Civil nodded and flicked the wand. It glowed a bit, and then stopped. "Well I guess I was right, werewolf hair with maple."

"Thank you," Civil replied as she paid for the wand.

Last, she went to the bank. She smiled as she walked into her vault, her family had left her a lot of money. She sighed as she thought of her family.

Soon she had all the things she needed, and went home. Ranger greeted her by jumping up and licking her face. "Okay, okay, I'm here now gerrof!" Ranger stopped, so Civil lent down and began to pet him. "We leave in two days boy… wow, just two days!" She sat down on her bed and Ranger hopped up beside her. Suddenly Ranger let out a soft whine and left the room, when he came back he was carrying a vile with a pale potion inside. Civil took it, and made a horrible face. "No matter how many times I take this stuff it always taste the same – awful!"

Ranger wagged his tail and looked like he nodded. Civil sighed again and turned off her light, laid down to go to sleep. Almost as soon as her head hit the pillow, she was asleep.
