Chapter Text
My letter for Hogwarts came in a week before school started. My mother was worried that it wouldn’t come in but as soon as it did the house was filled with laughter and happiness. We celebrated that rest of the day before setting out the next day to buy all the things I would no doubt need.
Mother had me up bright and early the next day. She was lots more excited than I was. I wasn’t not excited, I was just a bit nervous. She spoke of Hogwarts often enough that I should feel happy about finally going but I just felt a little scared.
After breakfast mother had us out of the house and heading to Diagon Alley. We went to get most of the basic things first buying the wand and my soon to be pet last. As we walked around buying my supplies I was starting to get a bit bored. By the time it came to buy my pet I was a bit more excited.
It was hard for me to pick just one animal, seeing as I love all animals. In the end I settled for a black cat with white paws and yellow eyes. Tibby.
Next stop Ollivander’s Wand Shop. The man in the shop seemed a bit odd to me but I could tell he was a good fellow. He handed me different wands to try out before one finally answered to me.
An 11” Fir Wood wand with a Unicorn Hair Core.
As soon as the wand was in my hand it felt...warm and alive. It felt right.
After finishing our shopping we went out to eat before heading back home and getting ready for starting at Hogwarts.
