  I woke up early that day, to be honest I think I slept only an hour or so, I was too excited to close my eyes. Just thinking about the school, being a witch and all of that brings a smile to my face. Sydney, the house elf, suddenly came in my room with a glass of water, when she saw me standing next to my bedroom window, wide awake, admiring the garden, she almost dropped the glass in shock. ''Miss, you are awake!''she said with big eyes, I chuckled and smiled at the small creature ''Actually I did not really sleep, I m too excited. Can you please tell my father I will be ready in 20 min?'' with a nod she quickly left the room closing the door with a light thud. I grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom to take a quick cold shower.

  Rushing down the stairs I spotted my father in front of the chimney with the biggest smile on his face. He turned around and made a gesture with his hand, signaling me to come closer.''What are we doing here?'' my father looked at me with a warm smile ''We will be traveling today using Floo Powder. Take a handful of the powder and step inside the chimney'' he proceeded to show me while I listened carefully to his instructions ''Also do not forget to keep your elbows tucked in and try to refrain from panicking and fidgeting! See you on the other side'' After throwing the powder and saying out loud the place he was gone. I took a deep breath and did everything he told me to do.

 Emerging from the fireplace I let out a dry cough 'Damn ash.' My father patted me on the back with a proud look in his eyes, then he moved so I could take a look at the shop we were in. ''Where are we?'' I asked coughing a little at the end. ''We are in a random shop in Diagon Alley, come on now, we have a busy day ahead of us.''

We walked from shop to shop, looking for books and robs. I swear my father was more excited than I was. Everytime we would enter a store he would tell me a story from his teenage years and how would he get in trouble with his friends. On our way to Ollivander's we came across a broom shop, my father stopping next to it. After walking for a few seconds I realised he was not next to me, turning around I saw him looking with a sad smile at some brooms. I walked towards him and nudged him with my small hands ''Are you ok?'' snapping out of his thoughts he let out a long sigh ''Yes honey. This is the shop where I met one of my best friends, James Potter. We were both in the same house and also we were really passionate about quidditch. I think his son is the same age as you, if you meet him at Hogwarts can you please promise me something?'' I nodded my head watching my father with curious eyes ''The boy, his name is Harry, he went through a lot... please be kind to him and try to be his friend.'' I gave my father a nood and a big smile ''Let's go to get your wand now''

 I stepped inside the wand shop not seeing anyone. ''Is somebody here? Heellloooo?'' Suddenly a man with grey hair emerged from the back, as soon as he laid his eyes on me he beamed ''I see we have a new future witch looking for her wand, come closer darling!'' The men suddenly laid his eyes on my father ''Mr. Thornwood, what a pleasure to have you here, is she your daughter?'' My father smiled proudly and shook hands with the man while I looked around the store. ''I have the right wand for you. Hawthorn wood, with a Phoenix Feather core, ten inches precisely.'' He explained while opening the box and showing me the wand. I took it in my hand looking at it ''Come on now, give it a flick'' I did as I was told and all the papers and drawers in a 5 m radius scattered all over the floor. ''I m so sorry'' blushing I shouted an apology. ''No need to be sorry girl, let's see this one''. 5 wands later I still did not find the one... FUCKK, I was starting to lose my patience. The man took a step closer and looked deep into my eyes as if he was trying to read me ''Could it be...?'' He said to himself as he disappeared again in the back of the shop. He came back with a dusty box, that had spider webs all over it. He took out of the box a beautiful, but simple black wand, which had some silver strings going around the handle. I picked it up admiring it, I was feeling like the wand was calling for me... ''This wand is very special, her sister was created by a very powerful wizard... It is made out of snake wood with a basilisk horn as its core, measuring at exactly 12 inches, the wand is able to 'sleep' but I do not know how, you must find out yourself.'' Taking a deep breath in I gave another swish, preparing for the worst, but to my surprise a strong wind flew from the wand, surrounding me with green flames. ''That's astonishing...'' said the man while staring in awe at me.

  After paying for the wand, me and my father walked hand in hand to our next destination, The Pet Shop. My father met a few of his coworkers so I went in alone. What should I get? As I was wandering around the store I found myself suddenly in the cat section. My eyes landed on a beautiful black smoke main coon cat with big yellow eyes. I could not take my eyes of him. I hurriedly went around the store looking for the owner. I paid for the cat a picked it up. It immediately nuzzled in the crock of my neck ''Hmmmm, I am going to name you, Salem!''
