Today was amazing!! I'm in my dormatory right now! It's awesome, way up in a tower with a great view!! Its totally amazing, seriously. I went up and sat on a stool while everyone looked at me then the hat started talking in my ear. It was saying things like, "Ahah! You may very well be the one!" And stuff like, "You parents want for you to be in Slytherin...but I can tell you are not someone who would do well there. You are smart, very much so. And loyal beyond imagine to your sister...but I see more. HAHA! I know where to put you!!" And then the hat yelled, "GRYFFINDOR!!" At the top of its voice and my jaw dropped, I sat down at the table with a ton of people, many of which I had made friends with on the train. I have a friend named Steve and one named David. I think they are my new best friends, they are first years too. And can you believe my luck? THEY ARE IN MY HOUSE!! This is sooo great. I just can't wait for everything to start tomorrow, I am going to get to go to lessons. Real magical lessons. This is awesome. It's late now though, and I have to go. Bye! Mark.
