Today was the best day of my life, so far at least. I got my Hogwarts letter! I have been waiting for it every since Bill got his. I was sitting at the breakfast table with mum and dad when my brothers and Harry walked in. When I saw him I promptly knocked my porridge bowl off the table, why miss a chance to embarrass myself in front of him. I picked it off the floor and felt my face turn as bright as my hair.

When we were all seated and eating, a screech owl came to the window with several envelopes tucked into it's beak. Dad opened the window and said, "Hogwarts letters, Dumbledore already knows your here Harry," Dad handed Ron and Harry their letters. "Doesn't miss a trick that man. You two have them too," he handed Fred and George their letters. Lastly he handed Percy and me ours.

I trembled with excitement as I carefully opened the letter, I want to save this for the rest of my life.

PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST YEARS ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICK

There it is my list of supplies. It's going to be really expensive to pay for all of this stuff but I always have my brothers old stuff that I can bring.

"You were told to get all of Lockhart's books too. The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher must be a fan. I bet it's a witch," Fred said while peering over Harry's should.

First years aren't the only ones told to get Lock hat's books. I wonder why the whole school needs to get them.

"That lot won't come cheep, Lockhart's books are really expensive," George said, glancing at mum and dad.

"We will manage and we can get most of Ginny's stuff second hand," mum said.

"Oh, you're starting at school too?" Harry asked me. I blushed scarlet. Harry Potter just asked me a question. Harry Potter just talked to me. What do I do?

Easy, you say 'yes.' My rational side tried to tell me.

I can't do that

Yes you can, one simple word. I have already said it two times.

My rational side is right but it seems that my tongue will not cooperate with it. Wait, what is my elbow in. Butter? I stuck my elbow in butter! What kind of dummy sticks their elbow in butter? It seems that only Harry saw this. Oh, that's just great. Only Harry Potter saw me stick my elbow in butter. I would rather it be the other way around, my family already knows what a klutzy weird dummy I 'am. Yes, Percy is here. Wow, I can't believe I'm happy to see Percy and his stupid prefects badge.

"Morning all," Percy said cheerfully sitting down beside me. He immediately shot up out of the chair pulling up Errol.

"Errol. Finally, he's got Hermione's answer. I wrote to her saying we were going to try and rescue you from the Dursleys," Ron said to Harry while taking the limp bird from Percy. Yep, just another day in the Weasley household. The ghoul banging pipes, Fred and George exploding stuff, Mum yelling, cooking and cleaning and people sitting the owl.

Ron read the letter from the mysterious Hermione (not too mysterious, considering he has been non stop talking about her and Harry since he got home from school).

Dear Ron and Harry (If your there)

I hope everything went all right and that Harry is okay and that you didn't do anything illegal to get him out, Ron, because that would get Harry into trouble, too. I've been really worried and if Harry is all right, will you please let me know at once, but perhaps it would be better if you used a different owl because I think another delivery might finish your one off. I'm very busy with schoolwork, of course...

"How can she be?" said Ron in horror. "We're on vacation!"

...and we're going to London next Wednesday to buy my new books. Why don't we meet in Diagon Alley? Let me know what's happening as soon as you can. Love from Hermione.

"Well, that fits in nicely, we can go and get all your things then, too," Mum said while clearing the table.

Fred, George, Ron and Harry went to Stockheads hill to play Quidditch and Percy went back to his room. I did what a little sister should do, I spied on my brothers playing Quidditch.
