"Mum! It's here, it finally came!", you screamed getting out of your seat and smiling at your owl. You've been waiting almost 11 years for this day to come. You ran downstairs frantically waving your letter around and slamming it down on the counter in-front of your parents.
"Briella darling that's great, you seem thrilled." Your father says and kisses your forehead.
"Ella my love, you are going to love Hogwarts, just like I did when I was your age." Your mother assures you and hands you a plate.
"When can we go get my things?" You ask and sit down at the table.
"Ella honey it's still months away, besides don't you want to enjoy yourself a little while longer?", your father says and drinks his cuppa.
He's right but you can't just wait, you've been waiting forever. You grew up in the magical world but had yet to actually do anything magical, your mother and father were both wizards, as were their parents, your mother had attended Hogwarts, while your father attended Ilvermorny. They now both worked for the Ministry of Magic, your mother worked for the department of International Magical Cooperation, while your father worked in the department of Magical Law Enforcement. Not only that but two of your ancestors were head of the ministry of magic, Wilhelmina and Ignatius, but we don't really talk about the later.
You hurriedly finished your breakfast and ran upstairs to get dressed, might as well have some fun muggle filled months while you can.
-August 31st-
The summer was finally over, and in one day you would finally be at Hogwarts. After gathering almost every supply needed you and your parents arrive at Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands, this was the moment you had been waiting on all day, probably your whole life honestly.
After going through two wands already, the store owner hands you a third carefully,
"This is an Alder wand with a phoenix feather core, I think this will do you good, give it a flick.",
You do as the odd man says and carefully wave the wand in a slow motion, hoping not to cause any more harm to the store, suddenly you feel a strong gush of air fill the room while the wand lets out a warm light. You had no words, there was no doubt in your mind that this was your wand.
"Alright dear we have to go, it's almost 11, don't want to miss your ride love." Your mother says while your father nods in agreement. They pay the store owner the seven galleons while you thank him.
After arriving at the train station you give your parents a hug, trying to hold back the tears.
"I'll miss you guys, I just can't cry, I'm too excited." You say laughing.
They join your laughter and then give you a kiss on the forehead. After finishing your goodbyes you run into the designated Platform 9¾.
"Hogwarts here I come."

For You
Fanfic"I'm sorry I think this is for you" he extends his hand out handing you a piece of paper, you look up at the stranger and smile, "You must have the wrong person." "I don't think I do."
