Elizabeth Orangeveil - Chapter 1 - Year 1

Instructions

One morning, at 5:00 a.m. I awoke to hear a swooshing sound. Then my doorbell rang. I heard yawning from downstairs. "Elizabeth! Can you get the door?" my Mom hollered. "Sure!" I called back. So, I went downstairs stumbling down the steps. I opened the front door, and all that I saw was a letter. The front of it said "Ms E. ORANGEVEIL, The Bedroom at the Top of the Stairs. 22, Bigwood Road, LONDON." I quickly ripped open the letter and read it. It said, "Dear Ms Orangeveil, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I have attached a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl no later than July 31. yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress." I couldn't believe it. I had been accepted into Hogwarts! I needed to gather all of my school supplies by July 30th. Well, better start heading to Diagon Alley! During breakfast, I told my family the exciting news. My dad didn't understand the wizarding world since he was a muggle. My mom had tried to explain by saying "Hogwarts is a school for extraordinary people. Like Elizabeth." Later that day, my mom and I started on our way to Diagon Alley. Before I knew it, we were at The Leaky Cauldron. My mother got us butterbeer and then pressed a specific brick on a wall. In the blink of an eye, the entrance opened to reveal a large strip mall. At the end of the alley, there was a white building, towering over all of the others. It was the wizarding bank, Gringotts. We headed there first to get some money. When we walked in, I saw at least 100 goblins sitting at desks. My mom walked up to one and said, "I'd like to enter my family's vault please." The goblin replied, "Key?" My mom handed the goblin a small golden key. "Please follow me this way." We followed the goblin into a dark cave and onto a cart. We were on the cart for about two minutes until we came to a stop. The goblin opened our vault, let us grab what we needed, and shut the door. "Where should we go first?" Asked my mother. "How about this place?" I asked. I was pointing to a shop called Flourish and Blotts. We walked in and saw a group of 3 people. My mom let me wander around to find what I needed. I was behind a bookshelf when I saw a group of people. I recognized 2 of them: Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. However, I heard Draco something to the girl next to him. From what I heard, her name is Storm.
