The tallest towers of the castle reached to the sky and the windows gleamed in the morning sun. The fields streached for miles in either direction and I couls see the shape of the quiddich pitch on the other side of the castle. Hagrids hut stood on the edge of the forbidden forest where animals from centaurs, gaint spiders and unicorns lived. I had met Hagrid when we had gone to Diagon Alley to get some supplys for the house. He had invited me to his hut when ever I wanted to talk or meet new creatures. 

I glanced up at the face of my Uncle Mooney and noticed how this sight had wiped the years from his scared and lined face. Being a werewolf had took its toll on my Uncle and it was evident in his face the pain that the full moon caused him. I had learned to become an animagus to help him with the tranceformations (spelt tht wrong lol) I became a beautiful slender dark grey, it was almost black, wolf. I beamed at the memories of becoming an animagus and showing my Uncle of all the efforts it took me. I skipped down the path towards the old wooden doors and knocked. I bounced on the spot and the door creaked open slowly. 

A man with a wrinckled face and mean, slanted eyes opened the door and invited us in. He was a head taller than me and had a cruel smile. He had tufts of hair that stuck up all over the place and shabby robes that trailed along the floor after him as he shuffled around the floor. We walked through long corridoors, past moving portraits of some of the greatest wizards ever, up everchanging staircases and past silvery ghosts. Some of these ghosts greeted us more cheerfully than others who meerly grunted in responce to our questions. One of my favourite ghosts was a poltergeist named Peeves. 

"Ahhhhh a marauder, so any new pranks?" He asked my Uncle who gave a hearty chuckle and told him that he hadn't pranked since they left school. He then looked at me and smiled wickedly, to his surprise I smiled mischeviously back and winked at him. I told him about the prank I had pulled on my Uncle Mooney because he hadn't let me have the last chocolate frog from our pack. I had waited for him to leave until I dyed his hair blue by using some paint in the garage. Suddenly Peeves broke out in to song:

"Oh Lupin your stupid,

why couldn't you see,

this girls got style, just like me,

let her eat chocolate, 

and you won't get pranked lots..."

I didn't get to hear the rest because I had been dragged around the corner only to stand in front of a stone gargoyle. I looked at it in confusion and the man muttered "Chocolate frogs" I let a snigger escape my lips because the words seemed completely forgin to his mouth. The gargoyle jumped aside and a spiraling staircase appeared. We clambered up the stairs and at the top sat another wooden door. The man left grumbling under his breath and Uncle Mooney  knocked on the door and stood patiently for it to open. 

"Come in," Said a voice from the other side of the door and we walked in. An old man with a wrinckled face and kind, sparckling blue eyes sat on the other side of the desk wearing purple robes and a smile. 

"Dumbledore!" i cried while running around the desk to give him a hug. He hugged me back and my Uncle Mooney gave me an exasperated look and sighed. I had known Dumbledore since Uncle Mooney found me in the orphanage, he had acted like a grandfather to me and I treated him as one.   Dumbledore chuckled slightly and told us to sit down on the other side of the desk. His office had lots of ornaments and other nick-nacks. Fawkes sat on his perch in the corner of the room but came and sat on my shoulder when I sat down. I strocked Fawkes as the adults talked about dates, times and other arrangements like that and I didn't interupt once which was a surprise for my Uncle but not for Dunbledore. 

As we were about to leave Dumbledore called me forwards and told me that I would be sorted upon arrival of Hogwarts in the feast. Decreatly he passed me a small bag of some of my favourite sweets that included sherbet lemons (mine and Dumbledores favourite muggle sweet) I whispered in his ear. 

"Nice doing buisness with you." And slipped the bag in to my jacket pocket and closed the door behind me. Me and my Uncle walked back out of Hogwarts and in to the town of Hogsmead and apperated home. 

I ran upstairs ans emptied the contents of the bag on to my bed and started munching through the sweets. One by one they were finished and I went down the stairs to eat dinner. We talked for a while and then I went upstairs to bed. I changed in to a tank top, sweat pants and a hoodie and climbed in to bed after washing my face and brushing my teeth. My hair was slung back in to a messy bun and I drifted in to an uneasy sleep filled with nightmares full of a ratman and a big black dog on a fullmoon.

The only comforting thought being that I would soon be going to Hogwarts. Finally.
