My Uniform!

Elizabeth has been hard at work helping me get ready to go to school in about a week. Today she finished my uniform robes!

I think they look great! I'm getting excited to wear them at school! 

I also got a surprise package this week. My friend Jess sent me some vials for my ingredients for Potions class. Wasn't that nice of her?

Lots of preparations!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been doing a lot to get ready to start at Hogwarts this fall. It's a lot of work getting school supplies purchased. Especially since I can't just walk to the corner store and buy spellbooks and potion ingredients. One of the professors from Hogwarts came to visit last week her name was Galatea Merrythought . Said she did something called "apparating" all the way from England. She explained we'd have to go to a place called Diagon Ally to buy my school supplies. Professor Merrythought said its a whole area of London that is off limits to Muggles, non-magical people. Muggles don't even notice it, they just walk by like its not even there. She's going to come back closer to the start of school and take us to Diagon Ally so we can buy my school supplies. She gave Elizabeth the details of my school robes. That way she can work on buying fabric and sewing them for me so we don't have to buy them. Elizabeth said it would save us a lot of money that we could use to get my other school supplies.
I'm getting so excited and nervous, I hope I fit in at Hogwarts.
