It all started out with a dream last Wednesday night. I was standing in the Great Hall with Hogwarts students and Professor McGonagal. She asked me to perform a spell on an imitation of a Death Eater. I was a little intimidated at first, because no one else had to say a spell. I remember saying to myself "Cedric Digory didn't have to say a spell so why do I?" But, without complaining out loud, I successfully performed the 'Expelliarmus' spell on the imitation, and watched my classmates cheer for me. I also seen the satisfaction on McGonagal's face. "All this to get in," was the last thing to come to mind after that.

Then, all of a sudden, I was in a familiar place. My surroundings were beige and bright, and I was laying on a comfortable surface with blankets on top of me. Everything that had just happened was a dream. I checked the time and it was 9:26 a.m. I thought to myself, "well the site wasn't open at this time yesterday morning, but maybe I should go check again just in case." I ran out of my room, hurried to living room, grabbed my laptop and quickly went on pottermore.com. I couldn't believe what appeared in front of me afterwards. The question to the magical quill. If answered correctly, I would gain early access to the site and wouldn't have to wait until October for it to be available to the public. 

My question was: "How many chapters are there in the sixth book? Multiple this number by 14." I ran back to my room and grabbed the book, which I have kept safely for all these years. i found out there are 30 chapters in it. I multiplied it by 14, and ran back to my laptop to type in the answer. I felt so accomplished afterwards. Then, I saw the magical quill write down my name in the book of magical children. Now no one can stop me from saying I am a part of Hogwarts.
