Red Roses and their thorns

Finding the owl

Harrie was once again outside gardening though she was doing her aunts garden. The contest for the best house garden would be happening soon, therefore, Harrie had to make it perfect. Her garden had won 7 years in a row now so Aunt would expect that to stay the same. 

Harrie had spent all morning looking for an owl, she had given up hope. It must have been a trick. She was pruning the roses when a hoot caught her attention. There stood on the fence was a great big tawny owl. She gasped as she quickly grabbed her reply from where she had stuffed it within her sock. Harrie slowly crept towards the owl and whisper "do I just tie it on you?" 

The owl looked at her with his big yellow eyes and stuck out a leg. Harrie took that as an answer and tied the reply. Soon as she had finished, the owl took off. She watched it fly away into the distance and couldn't help but think whether this school would be real or not. 

Her answer came a few days later in the form of Professor Sinistra. She was a tall lady with chocolate skin and long black hair. She was apparently the professor of astronomy which was studying not only stars but planets which sounded exciting. She had a strict manner but seemed nice enough to Harrie.

Professor Sinistra had spoken to her aunt who was not pleased with Harrie at all. Her shrieking hurt everyone's ears until uncle Vernon had said: "at least we get rid of her most of the year". At that, her aunt became happy but had been adamant she wouldn't pay anything. Professor Sinistra had not just walked away like Harrie thought she would. She had just told her aunt that Harrie's parents made sure she could attend Hogwarts. 

Harrie couldn't stop the grin she had, she was going to Hogwarts! 

Soon enough Sinistra turned to Harrie and said: "Well young lady, it's time we get to Diagon Alley for your school things". 

With that, she stuck out her wand and called a bus. The Knight Bus was a tall bus which was purple, it had three floors which was unusual. Harrie got onto the purple bus with the professor and sat down as directed. When it took off, Harrie thought she was going to fly off. Luckily Professor Sinistra had held her down. This bus was as fast as a rocket, able to swish side to side and become so thing it could pass through two buses! In no time at all, Harry was in London. 

They got off and came towards a pub called Leaky Cauldron. The people there looked like they were from a storybook. Soon making their way through the witches and wizards they came up to a brick wall. 

Professor Sinistra smiled and said "Welcome to Diagon Alley, Miss Potter"
