Rayn's POV

I go downstairs to see Dad eating breakfast and Mum sorting through the post.

"Morning!" I say.

" Happy Birthday Rayn!" Dad says.

"Um, did you get me any presents?" They always did, that must have sounded so rude, but I was only curious.

"Today is a present, Rayn," Mum says, "and I'm going to start the celebrations by giving you this." She hands me a letter. Excitement and nervousness build up inside me. I open it up and skim through it as fast as I can.

"Ohmygosh! I'M GOING TO HOGWARTS!!!!" My usually blond hair goes light blue and my parents laugh.

"That's right Rayn, and since it's the first of September tomorrow, we're going to Diagon Alley, we'll get you things for school and you can choose some presents." The only words I really listen to her say are 'Diagon Alley' and 'school things'. I grab some toast and spread it with butter. I eat quickly then run upstairs and get changed. My hair stayed light blue throughout. I go back downstairs to find my parents ready to go.

"Alright then! I'm ready!" I half squeak and half say. My Mum giggles as Dad full on laughs. I grab some floo powder before stepping into our fireplace. "Diagon Alley!" I shout, tucking in my elbows. I experience a strange sensation before shooting out the other end.

"Oh, hello." An old man says, "Fancy you, Miss Pennifold, shooting out here when you are in need of school supplies."

"Um, sorry, but who are you?" I reply, slightly frightened. How did he know my name? I felt my hair changing colour to green.

"I am Mr Ollivander, welcome to my wand shop in Diagon Alley." Well, at least I know where I am. Before I can say anything else, my parents shoot out of the fireplace.

"Ah, Mr Ollivander! It's a pleasure once again." Dad says.

"Hamish, Irma, likewise. I have met your daughter, Rayn, she is going to Hogwarts, yes?" Mr Ollivander was just freaking me out now. "Let me see...." he walked into a row of wands and came back out. "Try this one." I took the wand from his hand and flicked it, making rows and rows of wands fly from their shelves. "No! Nope, nope nope." He muttered and found another wand. "Here." He said. I yet again took the wand from his hands and gave it another flick. The wands went back to their shelves and I gasped. The wand felt perfect in my hands. "Cork with a unicorn tail core." He said. Mum and Dad had gone to buy me an owl, so Mr Ollivander and I were alone in his shop. He took the wand from my hands and seemed to look through one end, then frowned. He shook his head and muttered to himself, "can't be." He then raised his head to talk to me. "Just be careful, Miss Pennifold." He gave me a look, and I realised that I should be quick.

"Thank you for everything sir, I'd better be going now." I placed four galleons on the counter and rushed out of the shop. I decided to wait here so I sat down. I was alone for a few minutes until I heard a friendly voice.

"Rayn? Rayn Pennifold? Is that you?!" I looked up to see the source, relieved when I saw James Potter standing over me.

"James!" I shouted, throwing myself into his arms and my hair changing back to light blue, "Are you coming to Hogwarts too?"

"Well of course! Just came here to get supplies. Oh, and happy birthday!" I had known James ever since we were born and had been best friends with him since then. Our parents were the best of friends too.

"Rayn!" I heard Mum call yo me from across the street.

"Oh, sorry James, I'd better go," I pulled away from a well deserved hug, "I meet you tomorrow, yeah?"

"At the front of the train." He replied.

"See you tomorrow Jamie!" I shouted, running across the street. That nickname always annoys him.

"See ya! Wait a minute... did you just- NEVER CALL ME THAT NAME AGAIN!!!!" He shouts back at me, I decide to ignore him and run to my parents.

"We went to Flourish & Blotts too, there wasn't much to be seen there." Dad said.

"Here's your owl, honey!" Mum said, handing me a cage. The owl inside was orange- wait, orange?! My hair then went the same colour, the owl saw this and went jet black, which must have been it's original colour. It was a metamorphmagus owl. Just like me.

"Ohmygosh!" My hair turned purple, "I love him!"

"We knew you would." Dad snickered. We got some quills and ink then took the floo network back home.

Our house elf, Erwarth, ran up to me.

"Did Mistress Rayn enjoy her birthday?"

I giggle, "Why yes I did, thank you Erwarth."

"Dinner is ready for yous, and Fletchy will take your shopping and pack your trunk for Hogwarts. Erwarth will show you to the dining room." Another house elf ran into view. A little larger than Erwarth, this was Fletchy.

"Hello!" Fletchy squeaks when he sees me. My hair became a shade of dark purple, these house elves where more than 'servants', they were family.

"Oh, I do love you two!" They smiled and Fletchy ran off to pack my trunk.

Erwarth pulled on my sleeve, "Dinner is ready for yous. Miss Rayn must hurry or it will go cold!" I let him drag me to the dining room where I eat a delicious thai curry and a big slice of birthday cake, and afterwards, I was so worn out that I flopped down on my bed, and fell fast asleep.

I run through the brick wall and the big, red Hogwarts Express appears before me.

"Wow," I let out a breath, my previously blond hair changing to light blue and many people turned to stare at me. My hair then changed half pink and half blue. Even more people stared at me, so I ran to the front of the train to see an excited James waving to me, I would have run faster but my trunk and Aquilam (Aquilam is the owl, in Latin it means orange) were weighing me down.

"James!" I shout.

"Hey Rayn!" He replies.

"It's 10:55! We should go find a carriage." I say.

"Yeah, let's go." We hand our trunks and Aquilam to the man loading the train and get on. We find an empty compartment and sit opposite each other, talking about our summers.

This is the longest chapter I've ever written. 1144 WORDS!!!!!!!! Hope you enjoyed!
