1- a beautiful beginning

"Holly dear your going to be late" her mother called up the stairs to the rushing girl running around her bedroom.

I'm so excited to go to hogwarts, I really didn't believe it when Professor McGonagall came to our little house in London. I had grown up a muggle girl as my father left when I was little, my mother never talks about my father, I don't really know who he his.   But I guess he's missed out on my life so far and I've turned out alright. I don't blame my mother for keeping my powers a secret, imagine living in a normal neighbourhood with normal people having to take care of a witch. Anyway I'm finally going to see my first glance of the Wizarding world. I can't express how excited I am.

-time spin to diagon alley-

Wow, that's all that I can say about diagon alley. It was beautiful. I was taking in everything when I stumbled back into the arms of a familiar face

"My, my Holly are you alright dear" Professor McGonagall turns the surprised girl around

"Oh I'm so sorry professor" I started laughing

"It's quite alright dear, have you been to olivanders yet to retrieve your wand?"

"I'm heading there next, this place it truly amazing professor"

"It really is isn't it"

"I can't believe I'm going to finally learn about myself, my powers"

"It will be truly exciting, now Holly I must be going as I have important business to attend to in gringotts but I will be sure to catch up with you later at the castle"

I nodded and waved goodbye as professor McGonagoll headed to gringotts bank.

I headed to Olivanders wand shop ready to finally get my wand.

-time change-now at olivanders-

"Well, I was wondering when I'd see you miss Black" a soft voice appeared as I walked through the doors.

"How do you know my name sir" I questioned politely as the man walked into the main part of the store.

"Why, I know everyone who attends hogwarts"

I decided not to follow up on the conversation as I decided that I just really wanted to retrieve my wand. But I didn't want to seem rude so I just started looking at the wands around the store.

"I can see your eager to get to hogwarts"

"Is it that obvious" I laughed in response

"Well let's help you on your way then" he replied as he carefully lifted out a wand out of a box behind the counter. "11 inches, made of beech wood, Phoenix feather core"

I held the wand gently in my hands and gave it a swish. I was waiting for something to happen when a glass bottle shattered on the table next to the frightened Olivander.

"Um maybe that one isn't right for you miss Black" he said to me carefully taking the wand from my. hand.

He then handed me a beautiful beige colour wand with incredible gems up from the bottom of the wand.

"Try this, elder wood, 12 1/4 inches, thestral core"

I held the wand carefully in my hand scared that something else was going to explode, when I rose off the ground and bright lights started to surround me.

"My, my the wand has chosen, you have proven yourself as a great wizard miss Black, that wand is brothers with Albus Dumbledores own wand. The wand has shown that you have great potential"

I was to shocked to speak, my wand was brothers with Albus dumbledores, the famous Dumbledore. Professor McGonagoll had told me all about him when she came to visit me in London, now I was more excited to go to hogwarts than I was before.
