Arianna McGonagall

Backstory

I am currently a first-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I can't lie and say that I was surprised that I received my letter, considering my family. While I am a half-blood, my family consists of many prevalent and successful witches and wizards, my mother being one. My mother, Minerva McGonagall, is currently the professor of transfiguartion. I realize this may be a topic of conversation amongst my peers during my time at Hogwarts but I just hope to grow from it and become MORE than McGonagall's daughter.

I am excited for my classes and learning, as I spent quite a bit of my time reading anything I can get my hands on! I think I'm most excited for Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts. But one of the things I'm most excited about is Quidditch. I'm hoping to play on the Gryffindor team this year despite only being a first-year; I've been playing since I was young.

When I was sorted, the Sorting Hat also considered me for Ravenclaw and Slytherin, stating that I possessed traits from both along with Gryffindor. In the end, I was placed in Gryffindor. I am very happy with where I ended up, and I look forward to making friends. Not only that, but I look forward to discovering who I really am.

I'm a little nervous but I'm sure I will love Hogwarts. When I was in Diagon Alley the other day getting all my supplies and my wand, which has easily become my most prized possession along with my broomstick, I was so excited I had butterflies!! Not to mention, all those books? I'll probably be finished them all before term even starts! After I finish, I wish to go off and become an Auror. My second choice would be to become a professor here at Hogwarts. I guess I'll just have to wait and see!

All things aside, if anyone was wondering... I have 876 cards in my Chocolate Frog Card Collection;)
