My adventure in Hogwarts - Part 1 - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: First day of school


 September 1 arrived.
My first day at Hogwarts, has arrived and could not believe it! Last night I could not sleep with the excitement.
I got up very early and my parents took me to the train station. I pulled back my ticket: Hogwarts Express, Platform 9 3/4. I look, and did not see any platform 9 3/4, only saw the 9 and 10, i was wondering, could this be a mistake? what if all was a joke and Hogwarts doesnt really exist?

And now what? my parents were gone.
 I was there all alone with my suitcase. When suddenly,  I see a guy who was looking  in the middle of the two platforms 9 and 10, totally confused so  I  decided to approach him.
- Hello - I said- 
Oh hi - he said looking at me- 
You are also going to Hogwarts? 
-- Yes. But I can not find the platform 9 3/4, you know?- 
No, me neither. Maybe there was a mistake? By the way, my name is Katelyn Dewitt
- I'm Harry, Harry Potter- Nice to meet you, Harry.
In that moment,  we see a family of redheads approaching. We saw as one of the boys runs up the wall that divides the platforms 9 and 10 and disappears. Harry and I looked surprised.
Harry approached the lady and asked her how we could pass. She explained to us and we could crossed the platform. It was amazing. And there was ... the train, Hogwarts Express!
I boarded the train and find a cubicle. I sat down and a couple of minutes later , a girl walked in. She had pale skin and blond hair.
- Hey, Can I sit with you? The other cubicles are occupied -she said timidly- Sure. Come, sit down. - I said- It's your first year too? - she asked - Yes. My first year, I had no idea, I  was a witch, was a big surprise for me -- So you are born of muggles -- Of what? - I asked confused- Muggles. Its how you call people who are not wizards, your parents are not wizards so they're muggles.- Ohh .. Now i get it
- My name is Luna, Luna Lovegood, and yours? -- Katelyn, Katelyn Dewitt -- Cute name -- Thanks -
Luna and I talked a lot along the way, she  was a strange girl but still seemed nice, until we finally arrived at Hogwarts, it was dark when we got there.
We got off the train and there was Hagrid who directed us up. We got into one of the boats and saw a huge castle in the distance!
- Wow, this is our school!? - I asked totally surprised- Yes. Is amazing, isnt? - I said Luna
Once inside the castle,  we walked through long corridors until we reached a huge room, was like a dining room with long tables and many chairs, had never seen a room so big.A teacher called McGonagall was giving us instructions. Told us to wait there a moment, the ceremony would begin soon to know which house we would belong.
In the group of  new students , i  could see Harry, the guy from the  train station. He saw me and waved at me and I did the same.

- You know Harry Potter? - Said Luna
- Something like that. I met him at the train station today. Why? you know him? 
-- Everyone knows Harry Potter. He is a legend
 -- A legend and why is that? -
- Then I will tell you later, is a long history. -

Harry really did not seem at all as legend to me, like Luna said. He looks like an ordinary child.
The ceremony began, and one by one, were calling to each child. They sat in a chair and  a hat was place on his head, the hat was magic, it was actually alive and this was the one who decides  which house you belong to.
Luna was before me and she was sorted in Ravenclaw. I already had in mine that was the house i want to be in it.
My turn came and it was not long before the hat shout: Ravenclaw!

I went to the table where all the Ravenclaws were , they welcomed me with applause and I  sat next to Luna.
After the initiation, there was a feast, with lots of food! it had all, meat, potatoes, desserts, these wizards really eat delicious i thought, i ate until i couldnt breath any more.
After dinner, we went to our bedroom but as it was still early, before bed,  I had a good time in the common room , that was the meeting place for students, there we could talk, listen to music or play a game of chess.
Already there,  I  decided to take the opportunity to ask Luna about that 
long history of Harry ...

- But why you say "you know who" ? I do not know who you are talking about - I said, totally confused
- His name is .... - (only  could hear a whispering)- Who? -- Voldemort! - She said a little louder and looking around to see if anyone had heard- 
And why you can not say his name? -
- People are afraid to say it ... but I really think it's silly, and besides all that happened, a long time ago,  he is gone forever.
- Well, thats good to know...
The next day, first day of school!! My first class was Potions , as soon as i get to the class i realized  i take that class with students from other houses, and there was Harry, as soon I saw him, I waved and smiled at him  and he returned my greeting.

The class started and i really started disliking this teacher called Snape. He was rude and seems to had something against Harry. He keeps mocking him even calling him "celebrity" with sarcasm, whilst the kids from Slytherin laugh.

My adventure in Hogwarts - Part 1 - Chapter 1

Introduction:The story is based on the novels by JK Rowling, but from the point of view of this character, not Harry Potter.Therefore, the story also undergo some changes, things I would have liked to happen that did not happen in books.I want to take every reader directly to Hogwarts, they feel they are really there.The story is told in first person, that is narrated by the character.

Without further ado, I leave you with the first chapter. Remember to leave comments if you do not mind.


CHAPTER 1: I AM A WITCH?
The sound of the alarm wakes me up like every morning. The day was warm but wet in London, typical summer day. But it was not really a typical day, it was July 26th, my 11th birthday! I took a shower, I comb my long dark hair and went up the stairs and there were my parents with my birthday cake singing to me.
- Happy birthday darling - my dad says,
 - Thanks - the chocolate cake was just as I liked and in the middle lyrics that read: Congratulations Katelyn, yes, that is my name, Katelyn ... i tried a taste of the cake but my mother stopped me ... - Ah ah ... no cake until after dinner -
I did not understand what was the matter of showing me the cake as soon as I get up if I had to wait until night to try it, but good because it was a  tradition in my family.
That afternoon, I went to the park to play with my neighbor, Sophia .. we liked to play soccer, always trying to the goals on  the laundry baskets ... a few minutes later  my father calls me."Katelyn"
I walked toward him to see what was happening.- What happened, Dad? -, - Here is a letter for you -, - for me? and who is it? -, - Hogwarts School just says -, - a school? let me read it. -
The envelope was yellow and had green letters,  I opened and the first line said: "Congratulations Katelyn Dewitt, you have been accepted at Hogwarts school of magic ..."
-School of magic? There is a school of magic? - I asked my dad, to which he answered 'Of course not. It must be a joke of someone. Give it to me, I'll throw it away -
The letter left me wondering all day ... and if magic exists? Could it be possible?
The next day .. was evening, and  I was watching cartoons in the living room when suddenly there were  a knock at the door.
- Katelyn, open the door! - I heard my mother saying from the kitchen, I get off the sofa, went to the door and when I opened it ... my jaw nearly hits the ground.
There was a giant man standing there, with abundant hair and a beard equally abundant.
- Good afternoon, Katelyn - He said ..
 - Ho, How  you know my name? - I was scared ! in my life  I had never seen anyone as big as this man
- I hope not to scare you, my name is Hagrid. Dumbledore sent me.
I was totally confused, I did not know if I was dreaming or this was really happening.
- Dumbledore? - I asked
 - Oh right ... you still do not know anything. Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts, the school of magic. If I remember correctly, a few days ago  you received a letter from there, right?
- Yes, I received the letter. But I thought it was a joke. -- There is much you need to know, Katelyn, but know that ... you're a witch -
- A witch? Me? and that's bad? - Now I was totally scared, had read of magic and witchcraft and always thought it was something bad, you know  from the devil or something.
- Oh no no - said Hagrid  half laughing, - Muggles constantly confuse  it and think that magic is bad, but is  not, as long as you use it correctly. -
- What are Muggles? - I had many questions
- I will answer that later. First I need to know if your parents are home? -
- Yes. Ill for them, go and sit -
I was totally in shock. There was a giant in my house, I'm a witch? was going on???
I went to the kitchen where my parents were.
- Dad, Mom. -
 - Yes honey? - Said my father
 - There is a person who wants to talk to you in the living room. -
 - And who is it? - Asked my mom
-He's a giant named Hagrid, he says he comes from that school of magic which sent the letter the other day -
-What? Katelyn what you're saying? - My father did not believe me, and apparently my mother either.
- Do not believe me? then go to the  living room and Check it for yourself -
My parents escorted to the room, and when we arrived and saw Hagrid were totally petrified of printing. Hagrid was sitting on the couch and covered almost the entire room. It was a miracle,  he did not break the sofa.
- Mr. and Mrs. Dewitt, good afternoon. My name is Rubeus Hagrid, but you can only call me Hagrid. I come from the magic school Hogwarts.
I expected a response from my parents but instead,  they  stared at Hagrid totally in shock.
- I think they're in shock - I said, I made a loud applause to wake them.
- Sorry dear,  but we can not believe what is happening. He says he comes from a school of magic? my mom says
- That's right. His daughter is a witch. Katelyn is not an ordinary girl, she  has some great talents that need to be developed and that only what can be achieved in the school of Hogwarts. -
- How to know if it is true that our daughter is a witch? - Said my father still incredulous- Well. That we can work with a test. - Said Hagrid
He took a magic wand and gave it to me.
- All right, Katelyn. I'll give you a fairly simple spell. -Hagrid explained to me first as I move the wand and then told me what was the spell.- "Wingardium Leviosa" -
That  a statue on the table began to rise in the air, I was totally impressed as were my parents.No more was said.
That same day, Hagrid and I went to a place called Diagon Alley, I had never heard of that place, Hagrid explained to me that only people with magic powers were awarded of it.On the way to the place, I continued to count on all the things a wizard should know,  such as Hogwarts, Dumbledore ,  the teachers, the Minister of Magic etc ...
Already in Diagon Alley, I  bought everything I needed for school, books, my wand and more..I was so excited to start school and my life was always so boring and now out of  nothing, I happen to be witch!!
