LILY EVANS: 1 September,1971
Dear Mum and Dad,
I'm here at school! It's so great! After I said goodbye to you on the train I found a seat with some other girls. They were in Griffindor and they were very nice to me. One of the girls, her name is Alice, (she's a second year) she likes the Beatles too and we spent the whole train ride discussingwich which songs were our favourites and who we thought was cuter, Paul or John. I said Paul obviously but Alice said John. It doesn't matter though, I think we're going to be good friends. After riding on the train for a long time we finally got to Hogwarts.
We got off the train and this giant man named Hagred showed us first years to the boats that we traveled in across the lake. I was in a boat with two boysugh, one was nice though. His name was Remus Lupin and he likes to read too! I didn't think boys liked to read. James, the other one, is a regular annoying boy. He wouldn't stop talking about this thing called Kwittitch or something and he kept saying that he wanted to be in Griffindor. That's where I wanted to be (after talking with Alice) and I was kind of hoping he wasn't going to be in my house All three of us (James, Remus and me) all ended up in Griffndor. There was a sorting serim ceremony where a hat talked to us! It was really strange! The hat said that I was really smart and I could be in Ravenclaw, another house but then I asked if I could be in Griffindor and and the hat said yes, he said that sometime in the future I'm going to have to be really brave and Griffindor would be a good place for me. I said that I'd be really brave, I even told the hat about the time I stopped the dog from biting Petunia!
It's so different here, with all the magic and stuff. There are frogs made of chocolate that hop like real ones, staircases that move, ghosts, and the Headmaster made our food appear right in front of us! But I think I'm going to like being a witch.It feels like I've come home. I'll write to you soon!
Your Lily
P.S. Please tell Petunia that I'll write her soon and I hope that she's having fun at Westwood Comp!
