Elizabeth's POV

I stared at the letter in my hands. This couldn't be right. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I had heard about Hogwarts from one of uncle's wife's cousins that went there. I couldn't believe that I was actually going to go to Hogwarts. I ran downstairs to tell my mum.

"Mum!" I called, "Mum! I just got a letter in the mail!"

"In here, sweetheart!" she called from her office. I ran to her.

"Look," I said, handing her the letter, "It's from Hogwarts. I'm going to Hogwarts!"

"That's wonderful, Elizabeth! The train leaves in two days, so we need to get your supplies soon. Perhaps we could go to Diagon Alley tomorrow. Does that sound good?" my mum said.

"Of course! This is a dream come true!" I said, my eyes wide with amazement.

-Fast-forward to when she is in Diagon Alley-

"We have to go get my wand first," I said, dragging my mum to Ollivander's.

"Ok, sweetie, let's go," she replied. A bell rang as we entered the shop.

"Hello," an older man greeted, "I'm Mr. Ollivander. I assume you must be looking for a wand. You've come to the right place."

"Hello," I said, "And yes, I am looking for a wand." Mr. Ollivander nodded his head and started searching around.

"Aha. 10 inches, vine, unicorn hair. Just wave it around a bit and we'll see if it's a good fit," he said, holding the wand out. I took it from him and waved it. Red sparks flew from the tip and a pile of books fell to the ground.

"No, no, definitely not," he muttered, searching around more. "Oh, try this one," he said, "11 2/3 inches, oak, veela hair." I grabbed the wand and waved it. Blue sparks shot out, and the room seemed to get brighter. "That's the one," Mr. Ollivander said, smiling.

-Fast-forward to boarding the Hogwarts Express-

"Bye, Mum. I'll miss you," I said as I boarded the train.

"I'll miss you too, Elizabeth. Have fun," she said.

"I will." I started to search for a compartment. I found one with a black-haired boy, a red-headed boy, and a girl with frizzy brown hair. "Do you mind if I sit here? Everywhere else is pretty full," I said.

"No, not at all," the girl said, "I'm Hermione Granger, by the way."

"I'm Elizabeth Gailes."

"I'm Harry Potter," the boy with black hair said.

"And I'm Ron Weasley," the redhead said.

"Nice to meet you all," I said.

-Fast-forward to sorting ceremony-

"Elizabeth Gailes!" Professor McGonagall said, and I walked forward. I was really nervous. She placed the Sorting Hat on my head, and it quickly shouted "RAVENCLAW!" I smiled and walked over to the ravenclaw table. People patted me on the back as I sat down. Hermione was called up after me, and was sorted into Gryffindor. Even though we were in different houses we remained friends throughout school.

A/N: I'm sorry that I haven't posted in forever. I've been really working on my other story, Artemis's Daughter. I will try to post more on here though. PLEASE MAKE A REQUEST! I am out of ideas. Help me out, please.
