House of Black
The girl jolted awake as the alarm on her bedside table rang loudly in her large room.
despite it being a beautiful summer morning in june, she still wasn't a morning person. never was, never will be.
she got out of bed with a soft groan, as she turned the alarm off before walking to her ensuite bathroom. she brushed her teeth and got dressed before walking into the kitchen. her Grandmother Walburga black was waiting for her, she sat and began eating while her grandmother chatted of the latest news.

a couple hours later everyone was doing their own thing when Kreacher, their houses elf came to her.
"Miss black?"- Kreacher said simply
-
"yes Kreacher?"- she asked softly, she had always showed kindness to Kreacher.
-
" Madam Walburga wishes to speak with you in the sitting room.." - he said.
-
"thank you Kreacher" , she said softly and rose, headed to the sitting room.
"yes Grandma?" Jules said softly.
Walburga said not a word, simply gesturing to a letter on the coffee table. as soon as i seen it, i smiled widely. i knew what it was. my long awaited Hogwarts letter.
i began to read aloud,
"Dear Miss. Black,
we are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.
please find an enclosed list of all necessary books and equipment.
term begins on 1 September . we await your owl no later then thee 31st of July.

"AHHHHHH!!!!"- jules squealed in pure joy,
immediately rushing off to have Kreacher help her with the acceptance letter.

The next day. Walburga had taken Jules to Diagon ally. it was beautiful, the air would change dramatically depending on what shop you went into.
She was "picked" by a wand in a shop called Ollivanders. Her wand is 11" long, made of holly, and possesses a phoenix feather core, whatever that means, she wasn't sure of its significance.
she got a Grey owl too, and decided to name him after her father, 'Reggie.'
next thing she know, she was at a train station trying to find platform 9¾. she watched two twin boys trick their mother into thinking one was the other, Fred and George were their names. there was another boy, red hair and a little shorter then herself, kind and sweet looking, then something crazy happened...
the two twins ran through the wall!!!!
how did they do that?!????!!
Jules asked the woman with them where platform 9¾ was, she pointed to the wall.
the ginger woman said,
"just run straight into it and you'll be there, dear"
she did as she was told, jules had learned long ago that things just go better that way. so she ran, as fast as she could into the wall- but- it wasn't a wall. it almost felt like she'd ran through an open doorway.
she seen the train, and a sign that read "platform 9¾" so she boarded the train after a man took her Two bags.
she had found a compartment and sat down, expecting to be alone as she started preparing for the ride.
she started thinking about her father, how she wished he could be there with her right now. she was scared, going to a new place, at 11, with no adult, not a soul she knew to greet her when she got there. she was terrified. she looked out of the small train window up at the sky, watching the landscape begin to move as the train began its journey.
