Word count: 214
Colin Creevey was very excited to be going to Hogwarts; he was constantly taking pictures with his camera to show his dad when he got home. Colin was ecstatic when he was sorted into Gryffindor—the house that Harry Potter himself was in! He instantly needed a photo of and with Harry Potter so that he could show his dad that he knew someone famous. Though, Harry Potter didn't seem to appreciate the attention… He'd have to think about that.
At the moment Colin Creevey was thinking about what sat in front of him. He, his dad and his younger brother had practiced and learned all they could about the magical world but this was one thing that they hadn't been able to master: the quill and the ink pot. He didn't understand why he couldn't have just brought a pen, they were so much easier to use and didn't need to be dipped in ink every few seconds.
He sighed and picked up the quill. Carefully dipping in the ink pot with his tongue sticking out in concentration—Colin started practicing. This was something he did every night; he would practice his writing, and he hoped that by the time the year was out. He would be proficient in writing with a quill.
