NEVILLE'S WORRIES

 

I got my letter from Hogwarts today. I’ve actually been offered a place! I was so worried that I wouldn’t get in. Gran and everyone were worried to. Great Uncle Algie has always tried to force magic out of me and nothing much has happen apart from bouncing down the road that one time. I’m excited at the thought of going but I’m scared at the same time. What if I’m not good enough? What if I can’t keep up with all the work? I don’t want to disappoint Gran and the rest of the family they were so proud today when the letter arrived, Uncle Algie said he’d buy me a toad as a pet to take with me.

My parents were great wizards before… they were well known and did a lot of good work against the dark arts. I’ve been giving my Dad’s old wand; maybe it will help me in classes. I’ll probably need all the help I can get. I was looking through the booklist there’s so many, I hope they don’t expect us to remember everything out of them there’s no way I’ll be able to. Gran’s going to take me to Diagon Alley to get them all in a few days as well as all the other stuff I’m going to need. We’re going to go and visit Mum and Dad to, so I can tell them I got the letter. I hope they are proud of me; I really want to make them proud. It will be good to see them though; we haven’t been for a while. Gran says there’s not much point in constantly visiting as there’s never much change, but I like seeing them. Mum always gives me sweet wrappers, Gran tells me to bin them but I don’t. There the only things she’s ever given me.

I’ve decided not to mention my parents to people at Hogwarts. They’ll all feel sorry for me n I don’t want that. I don’t want to make friends because they feel sorry for me. Hopefully Hogwarts will be fun and a chance to make new friends. I’m going to work hard to make my parents proud of me. I would love to follow in their footsteps as aurors. That’s my dream. Maybe I’ll do really well at Hogwarts and that dream will come true, just because I’ve never been very magical in the past doesn’t mean I won’t ever be. I wonder what house I’ll be put in I would love to be in Gryffindor but I don’t think I’m brave enough. Hufflepuff is more likely to be my house. Either way I just don’t want to let anyone down.
