On the morning of the 28th I could barely breath. Mum walked me to the Ministry of Magic where I was then lead to a small sitting room.

Walking through the doors was an odd experience, they were grand oak doors with the Australian Ministry symbol etched into it. In the middle of the room was a large oval table, looking very much the same as the door. Around it sat numerous people, many of whom I didn't know. At the top of the table sat Margot Parry (the Australian Minister of Magic), beside her was Lumer Myth (head of Magical Law enforcements), to his right I could only guess was Kingsley Shacklebolt. He was a head taller than Lumer, and looked a lot older too mainly because of all the scars on his face.

I was lead to the closest seat just as Margot stood.

'We have all been brought here today, to wish our little adventurer luck.' she then gestured towards me,

' Ellii Johnson, as you all know, has been chosen for a student exchange in England.'

there was a small round of applause before she raised her hand again for silence. 'Before I hand you over Ellii, I would just like to give you a few last ground rules.'

now I was getting nervous, it was bad enough that I was now the center of attention in a room of random people but now I have rules. ' When you arrive you will be taken by Ministry car straight to Hogwarts.' she seemed to pause for dramatic effect.

'You will most likely hear a lot of stories about this school, concerning the tragic act that fell upon there all those years ago. However you must not be intimidated by these, I have been assured by Kingsley that your trip will be a care free one. Also I have heard that you seem to have a thing for history. Is this correct?'

I nodded slowly.

'Well, with permission of the Head Master, you have been given the chance to tour the castle with out hesitation, but you must not stray from the map that you are given as there are still some creatures living there that do not wish to be disturbed.'

oh yeah now I am really going to be able to sleep at night.

'yes Ma'am'

'Well now, I shall leave you with Kingsley, and I hope that you have a wonderful trip.'

I nodded again as another small applause erupted.

I began to get knots in my stomach as Kingsley Shacklebolt led me out of the room and into a near by floo net work station. He smiled, grabbed a handful of powder and said 'Ministry of Magic England' and with that he was gone.

I followed suit and soon came into view with a wonderful center piece, of what I could imagine was the famous Harry Potter, and his two friends Ron and Hermione back when the defeated Voldemort.

I just couldn't help myself, I whipped out my muggle camera (yes I was getting stared at by this action for more than one reason), and started snapping away until a strong hand touched my shoulder.

I spun around not to see Kingsley, but a tall slender man (slightly muscular), with unruly black hair and glasses. Realizing who it was I screamed, and not just a little one but a full 'AHHHHHHHHHHH' Harry jumped back in surprise, but catching me just before I hit the ground as I fainted.

'I don't know what happened Kingsley, I just placed my hand on her shoulder, she screamed then passed out.'

'Harry, she would have read everything about you. You are a celebrity still and you have just found another fan, that will be staying with you every holiday.'

'Whoa wait! This is Ellii?'

'Yes it is.'

'I had no idea. I just wanted to say that she could get in trouble for taking pictures without a pass.'

'Hmm. It doesn't matter now.'

I opened my eyes a crack to see who was talking, Kingsley and Harry were standing on the right side of the bed talking while a healer was scurrying about in the background.

'Oh you're awake!' Harry had noticed that I was awake.

I nodded, 'I'm sorry if I scared you.'

'It's okay.'

'No really I just never thought that I would actually meet THE Harry Potter.' Harry smiled awkwardly, 'Ah, would... would I be able to have your autograph?'

his smile broke out, 'Sure anything for you.'

I did this little giggle that little girls do when they just tell their crush that they like them.

Kingsley spoke up, 'Well Ellii, if you are feeling better I think we better be on our way.'

'See you soon Ellii.' Harry waved as I walked out of the room.
