The Best Day Ever

For Alaina Rodriguez and Stella Lee's Essay Writing Contest

By Lilah Schwarz

My best day ever would be if I was accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! I know that will never happen, but I dream of it! What would happen is that I would board the Hogwarts Express with my snowy owl, Hedwig, Jr., my trunk, and my wand from Ollivanders, willow wood with a phoenix feather core, ten inches, and reasonably supple flexibility. I would arrive at the school and the Sorting Ceremony would begin. I'd wait until 'Schwarz, Lilah!' was called, and I'd put the Sorting Hat on my head. I'd get sorted into Ravenclaw, and I'd enjoy the start-of-term feast before going to Ravenclaw Tower, answering the eagle knocker's riddle, and going to sleep. The following morning, I would start my classes.
