Age 10

I had experienced so much over the past few years. I got to see what a wizard school runs. I had the responsibilities in helping the Professors with their classes. I had to help grade papers, watch over the students so they didn't cheat, assist Professors in lessons, and so much more.

I got to experience magic up front. Professor McGonagall transfigured many objects in front of me. Professor Sprout showed students how to replant mandrakes. Professor Snape showed the class how to make a wart removing potion.

The students were very confused about me at first but, they managed to get used to me....well most of them. The Slytherins didn't like me at all. They would pick on me when I was alone in the hallways. I would hide and cry about it. Some words hurt me a lot.

They would tell me that I was a nobody, I was an orphan, I was poor, the Professor only taking caring of me because I had nobody, and more. Some of the things that they told me were false. Some days, I had bad days because of the Slytherins constant bullying.

I loved Professor McGonagall. She told me that I was like a daughter to her. Professor Dumbledore thought of me as his own granddaughter. It was great living with him in the summer months. Many of the staff members saw me as part of their own family.

I had grown quite a bit since I came to Hogwarts. My hair grew passed my shoulders. I recently had it cut because it was getting long. It was at my lower back. I grew a couple feet tall. I had a feeling that I would still be short when I got older.

August.......

I got up early in the morning. I was staying with Professor McGonagall for a good reason. She told me that she would take me to Diagon Alley today. I was going to get my things for Hogwarts. I was excited that I would be starting school in a few weeks.

I went to the bathroom and did my morning routine. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and of course did other things such as looking myself at the mirror wondering what I was going to do today and what I was going to see.

I walked out and got dressed in my clothes. I had my own wardrobe. I wore a white right shirt, denim skirt, and some black shoes. I braided my hair. I didn't like to keep it down much. I felt that my hair would fly everywhere from the wind.

knock...knock....

The door opened to reveal Professor McGonagall. "Alice? It's time for breakfast," she told me. "Okay," I said to her. I walked with her to the Great Hall to have my breakfast. I still didn't like sausages in the morning.

Once I was done with my breakfast, it was time for us to go to Diagon Alley. We had to use the floo network to get there. We had to get into a fireplace and get a handful of floo powder. The important thing was to say our destination very clearly or else we would end up at a different place.

We were engulfed in green flames. Next thing I knew, I was at Diagon Alley. I had been to the alley a couple of times. There were many kids and adults through the alley. Some of them were going to Hogwarts.

We had to go to Gringotts to get some money. The wizard world had their own currency. Wizards and Witches used Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts. We walked through the alley and walked inside Gringotts.

Gringotts was a bank and was run by goblins.

"Be careful and stay close," she warned to me quietly. I walked close to her until we made our way to the main desk. The goblin appeared to be very busy. Soon, the goblin notice us below. He put the quill down and spoke. "How may I help you," it said in a creepy tone.

"We need to make a withdrawal," she said to him. Professor Dumbledore said that I had access to Roland's vault. Roland left a key with Professor Dumbledore. We made our way to the mine cart and rode to the his fault.

Once at his fault, a small goblin asked for the key. Professor McGonagall gave the key to him. The goblin opened the vault to reveal Roland's fortune. I was amazed by the money inside. Professor McGonagall gave me a pouch to use.

I took the pouch from her hand and walked inside to to get some Galleons. After getting some money, we made our way up to the lobby and walked out of the bank. We walking into different stores to get my school supplies.

First, we went to Amanuensis Quills to get ink and quills. I got some barn owl quills and black ink. Second, we went to Eeylops Owl Emporium. I got myself a barn owl. I named her Tempest. Third, we went o Flourish and Blotts for my textbooks. There were many books for first year. We still had to get other things on the list.

Professor McGonagall looked down at me e. "Go to Olivanders to get your wand my dear. I'll go and get your potion supplies," she told me. "Okay," I said to her and made my way to the wand shop. I was excited to get my wand.

I found the shop. I walked inside to see an elderly man at the desk. He looked up at me with a smile. "Hello. Welcome to Olivanders. I am Garrick Olivander. I am guessing you are here for a wand," he said to me. I gave him a smile. "Yes sir," I said to him. He walked to the back to get a box.

After a while, he took out a box and opened it in front of me. "11 inches long, Cherrywood, unicorn hair core," he said. I hesitantly took the wand from the box. {Now what do I do?} I looked at him. "Give it a flick,' he said. I flicked the wand and a vase broke. "Nope," he said defiantly.

"Sorry," I said to him. "It's all right. It happens to every child who get their wand for the first time," he said to me. That made me feel better ...a bit. He took the wand back and went to get another one. "9 and a half inches, Redwood, dragon heartstring," he said. I took it from the box and flicked it. "A chair exploded into different pieces. "Defiantly not that one," he said and took the wand from me.

We tried twenty different wants and I learned the different woods and cores that they had. I never knew that there were so many different woods and cores with different properties. Also, I broke a lot of things in the room. I broke vases and many bookshelves. It was interesting actually. Mr. Olivander came back with another box.

I hope that this was the last one. I worried that I was going to burn the place down. "10 inches long made of Silver Lime wood and Phoenix feather core," he said to me. I saw the wand closely. I had a very interesting design that I thought was Interesting. The wand metallic grey with designs of feathers and silver handle.

I held the wand. It glowed. It felt right. "It has chosen you my dear," he said to me. I nodded my head. "This is a very special wand. I rarely sell this type of wand to anyone. I believe that you are able to handle it's powers. Use it well," he said to me. I gave him a smile. "Alright," I said to him.

"Also, there was a witch who used to have a wand similar to this a couple of centuries ago. She actually used her wand to the fullest potential. I hope you do the same," he told me. {Wow!} I gave him a nod. I paid for the wand and made my way out of the shop.

I saw the door open to reveal a boy with platinum blond hair. He looked like the same age as me. I looked at his eyes to see a nice shade of grey. I could feel my heart beating. {Who is he?} He looked a bit handsome for his age.

I saw that he came with his parents. His father looked like the older version of him but, he had very long hair. His mother looked a lot like him as well. She had blond hair and brown hair. I moved aside so they could walk inside the shop.

I could see the boy looking at me. I put my head down and waited for the family to pass me. Once they walked passed me and up to the desk, I made my way out of the store. I walked around the alley to find Professor McGonagall who was looking at the potion ingredients.

We were done with our shopping in three hours. We brought everything to my room. I put everything on my table so that I could see everything. I took out my wand from the box. I looked at it. I couldn't believe that I had a rare wand in my hand.

{I hope I can use it well.}
