Backstory

(Younger Student) When I received my Hogwarts Letter that faithful day, I didn’t know what it would mean. At first I thought it was just a joke, ya know? My family could not believe that I ended up with a Letter from Hogwarts, and took me to London! Anyway I grew up in a house with animals and a fascination for astronomy and history, I have always been patient with people and animals. my parents were going to go shopping in London anyway and they figured they would humor me. Boy, the look on their face when we stopped by the Barren Bulldog pub and the sign said “The Leaky Cauldron” instead! The innkeeper was an odd but friendly man, and there were some people to help show us around. The coolest part of Diagon Alley was picking up my gear for Astronomy, History, Charms, Defence Against The Dark Arts and Care Of Magical Creatures. I just love Astronomy! I might finish with “Hogwarts A History” before school even starts.
