The Next Ravenclaw

Being accepted to Hogwarts

Hello, my name is Paris Hardwick. Two months ago I tried getting into Ilvermorny. A month after that they sent me a letter saying I was not accepted. And I don't know how but it was a howler. I don't know if someone messed it up, pranked me, or they did it on purpose. Then I decided to try to get in Hogwarts. Now it is a Month later and I  am expecting to get in. Well, I hope I do at least. Anyway I have just woken up. My family lived in the middle of nowhere. My Dad was strict about us learning simple spells before we go into Hogwarts. Stuff like Wingardium Leviosa. He let me use his wand since I did not have one yet. Anyway I am getting my daytime clothes on when I smell something. Bacon. I start to get dressed faster and I run downstairs. The only time we had bacon or pancakes or something really delicious for breakfast is if it is a special day. I quickly ran downstairs with a letter for me. It said "Hogwarts". I slowly walked to it and my Dad looked up at me and smiled. I finally get to it and grab it with my hands shaking. I brace myself so I won't get shocked by it being yet another howler if it would be. I slowly open it. Phew not a howler. But I was still worried about not being accepted. I, like everyone else knew Hogwarts and Ilvermorny were the absolute best magical schools in the world. If I did not get accepted into either one I would have to go to the other schools which I would not want to go to. I start reading it. "Dear Paris Hardwick, you have been accepted into Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. we hope for you to come soon. Please bring a wand, a black robe and if you don't have one we will provide, etc, etc. I read through it. Wow. Well, I get to go to Hogwarts. I quickly leap up super high. I was excited. My Dad went to Hogwarts cause apparently he didn't want to go to Ilvermorny. I quickly turn around to look at my Dad. "Hey Dad what Hogwarts house were you in?" I ask. "I was sorted into Hufflepuff like everyone in the family who ever went to Hogwarts." Dad says. "Hmm. I wonder if I will be sorted into Hufflepuff." I say. "Possibly. But for generations this family has only had the Hufflepuff traits. You have all traits for all the houses. You are brave like a Gryffindor, kind and loyal like a Hufflepuff, sometimes Cunning like a Slytherin, and last but definitely not least very very very very intelligent like a Ravenclaw." He says. "I guess so." I say eating my bacon and pancakes. I quickly finish my breakfast and look at my Dad. "Hey Dad do you think I can get all my supplies today?" I ask. "Hmm. Sure." He says. I quickly smile and I put my dishes into the sink and thank him. I run up to my room and get my shoes on. I couldn't wait. I quickly run out the door and I see my Dad waiting. I quickly jump into my seat and the car starts flying.It starts going around 150 MPH. I just couldn't wait. I kinda wanted to be in Slytherin. Either Slytherin or Gryffindor. Slytherin didnt seem to bad. Sure some of them are evil but not all. My older sister Emmett was sorted into Slytherin and she was kinder than any Hufflepuff there. We finally get to some town. Think it is called Diagon Alley or something like that. We get out of the car and my dad quickly locks it. We start walking around looking at the place. We finally find a wand shop. We walk over to it and the wand maker comes right over. "Hello how are you doing today?" The wand maker asks. "Very good. My daughter Paris was just accepted into Hogwarts and we are looking for a wand for her." My Dad says. Hmm, I think I have a wand for you. He goes into his shop out of our sight but quickly comes back. He opens the wand case. "It is an Acacia wood with a dragon heartstring core 12 and a half inches and slightly yielding flexibility." He says giving me the wand. I hold the wand. I point at a broken pen on the ground and say "Wingardium Leviosa!" I say pointing to the broken pen. I suddenly lift it off the ground and drop the broken pen. "Well, that is a good one." He says. "You look very familiar." My Dad says to the wand maker. "Hmm you do too." He says. "Does your name happen to be Ollivander family?" My Dad asks. "Why yes. How did you know?" He asks. "I am Josh Hardwick. Remember I was the boy who it took 60 minutes to find me a wand?" My Dad asks. "Oh yes, the violet eyed boy who I couldn't find a wand for him. And I see your daughter has inherited your violet eyes." He says. They keep talking for around 5 more minutes until they finally say goodbye to each other and we start to walk back in the car. We get in and he starts it up. "They said they would provide the robe if I didn't get one." I say. "Really? Not sure they did that for me. Oh well, guess we won't have to get a robe." He says. We start driving back home while I am just on my phone playing some games. We finally get home and I get to bed quickly. Tomorrow I was gonna go to Hogwarts.
