It was the summer of 1987, the summer before I would start Hogwarts.

Mum always said Hogwarts were some of the greatest days of her life. The friends she made there were still some of her best friends to this day. And now it was my turn. It was time to have my own adventure.

Mum said to get ready and grab my letter as I would go to Diagon alley today to get my school stuff. Oh, merlin I was excited, yes, I had been there before, but this time would be different, I would be getting my own wand today. I felt my heart beat faster and my hand got a little sweaty. I got ready and wore a smile outfit mum had laid out had my breakfast and said my goodbyes to father as he would be gone for work when we got back. I held my mums' hand and, in a flash, we were there although I didn't like the knots my tummy was doing I'm not sure if that was from the apparition or my own excitement, looking around the alley, busy with soon to be students and returning the one I couldn't stop myself as I could feel the biggest smile I've ever had on my face appears. I thought my mouth would fall off or something.

"Okay dear we need to get you your robes and then your books and equipment, but first let's get you your wand"

I stop the minute she said that and did a silly dance and was so excited I could have screamed.

"Now Artemis stop that, it's no way to behave." My mother said but even she could stop herself from smiling.

"Applewood with a unicorn hair core, 11 ¼," Mr Ollivanders said and with that, we bought it a made our way.

"Oh, dear Ursula and Marcus will be over for lunch, so that means we have to hurry up, so we are not late," she said while hurrying me along

"Good thing I had the house elf's start while we were gone."

And that is how the rest of our morning went, and then we apparated home.

"Mum I'm going to get cleaned up and set my thing away, will you let me know when they are here," I said will walking up to my room.

I liked my room I had my double bed in the middle and my desk next to my door with y drawing on it. I had a big window with a bay at it and a book self near it, I also had planted around it.

Once I had set my things away I deiced to start a sketch. I had gotten new paints while out I really wanted to try them, honestly, it was like they were calling me.

I heard a knock at the door and misty appeared.

"Sorry to disturb you mistered Grey, but Misty was told to inform you your aunt and cousin have arrived."

"Thank you I'll be down in a minute" I gave a nod and she left.

I cleaned my elf up making sure not to have paint on me and made my way down.

"Aunt Ursula," I said kindly 

"Hello Artemis, are you ready for Hogwarts?"

"Yes, we got everything today"

"Yes, well good to hear, you and Marcus will do Slytherin proud."

"I hope so" "is marc outside?"

My mother nodded and I went to find him. I was really close to marc. Since we were the same age it meant we went through everything together.

I got outside but could find him, I sighed in frustration about t make my way in when I suddenly felt my heart jump out of my body.

"Ahh!"

"MARC, I SWEAR TO MERLIN!"

I started chasing him.

"Okay, okay enough" "so you are looking forwards to September?"
