HÖGWARTS: A Mystery

MY DIARY OF FIRST YEAR

12th July, 2020
I am turning 11 today. I am Sia Sen. I feel myself to be blessed as both my parents are from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And the biggest news of my life came today.

Today my parents along with me had gone to Diagon Ally. We got the book list about a week ago.

We went with the floo powder and went to Flourish and Blotts to buy the books. Then we went to The Ollivander's to buy my wand. First I was given a wand of Elm wood and basilisk horn. On waving it everything started floating. I kept the wand away. Then another one was given. On waving it I felt a slow wind of satisfaction flow over my body. My wand was of Rowan wood with a dragon heartstring core, 14 ¼" and quite bendy flexibility. My father was in the seventh year when Harry Potter had come to the first year.  We brought the rest of the thing. I would use our pet owl Honk, so I didn't need another pet. Anyways my father works very hard to earn the money and help us with our daily needs.

Today I woke up and dressed myself hurriedly. I had two large suitcases and Honk in a cage. We reach the KINGS CROSS STATION. We headed towards platform 9¾ and ran into the barrier separating. It felt as if we were a part of the Harry Potter movies which we had watched. My father admitted that he (he is a muggle-born) was so much awe-struck that he was not able to speak on the whole journey.

The train started. I had sat on a compartment which was empty. Two voices started coming towards me. They opened the door, a boy and a girl of my age came in and asked, "Can we sit here? The rest are not letting us sit." I replied, "Surely.. come in. I am Sia, Sia Sen." The boy introduced himself as Henry Martin and his twin sister was Hannah Martin. We talked about ourselves and within no time we were informed that we had almost reached Hogwarts. I had heard a lot of the school from my parents.
