Backstory

When I got my letter, I couldn't believe it. I thought it might be a scam of some sort. My father was dubious, too, but he decided, since we were going on holiday in London anyway, we might as well try it for kicks. Boy, the look on his 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 wand. I'm still not entirely convinced this isn't a dream, but I really hope it isn't. Stuff hasn't been the same since my mum died. Dad's kind of sad, and my younger brother Bruno hardly even remembers her. I hope Hogwarts is as amazing as I've been hoping. I guess we'll see.
