Today's my birthday. I'm turning eleven. The best number in the universe. It's also my favourite number. My mom and dad were out of the house, so I had to take care of it. At 10:30 in the morning, the mail arrived. I quickly looked through all of it and saw that there were bills for my dad, magazines for my mom. Something soon caught my eye. A letter addressed to me. I never got anything on my birthday. Eleven is a lucky number. I opened it. It read:
Dear Olivia Rose Kelly,
You have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You will need to get your books, robes, wand, cauldron, and animal. Your animals may be an owl, cat, or toad.
Enjoy your birthday
Signed, Albus Dumbledore

I read the letter once more. I never believed in this stuff until today. I was always told that magic was not real. Wizards and witches were not real. I was wrong. Severely wrong. How am I going to get all of this stuff? I asked myself. "London," I whispered. I grabbed my wallet and headed out into town. As I walked, I couldn't find a place to get a wand, a cauldron, or school robes. I was walking through London when I saw this boy around my age with a tall man. He had the same letter as me. I followed them. When they stopped, they turned around. "Can we help you?" The boy asked. "Are you going to Hogwarts?" I asked. He nodded. "I need to find my things," I said. They nodded and brought me to get a wand. "This is Ollivander's, " the tall giant person, whose name is Hagrid, said. I nodded and stepped into the store. "Hello?" I called out. I didn't get a response from anyone until someone came out from the back on a ladder. "Ah, Olivia Kelly, I've been expecting you." He said, in a weird, creepy-ish voice. "Um, how do you know my name?" I asked him. "Everyone knows other wizard's or witch's names." He said. "Now, try this one." He said, handing me a wand. I took it. I waved it around and broke a plant. "Sorry," I said, putting the wand on the desk. Mr Ollivander went back and came out with a different wand. "This one should do Miss Kelly." He said, handing it to me. I took it, and I felt that this is the best wand. "Thank you, Mr Ollivander!" I said. After we got everything, we headed to the Leaky Cauldron. "So, what's your name, and how old are you?" Harry asked. "My name is Olivia, and I'm eleven. My birthday is today." I said, a little shy. I was always shy when it came to making friends. All my other friends were horrible and rude to me. "Well, Olivia, Happy Birthday!" Hagrid and Harry said that together. "Now, tomorrow, you will be heading to Hogwarts. Time for a good night's sleep." Hagrid said. This has been the best birthday ever. Who knew that being eleven is the best in the world!
