"So, Hagrid, are there any school supplies to buy?" asked Celine. "Oh, yes." He answered "But first, here's your acceptance letter." Celine took the letter from Hagrid's massive hands and began to read it out loud. "Dear Ms Granger-Wealsey, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July. Yours sincerely, Minerva Mcgonagall Deputy Headmistress." Afterwards, Celine took the list of school supplies and read it too: "UNIFORM First-year students will require: 1.Three sets of plain work robes (black) 2.One plain pointed hat (black) for day wear 3.One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide or similar) 4.One winter cloak (black, with silver fastenings) Please note that all pupil's clothes should carry name tags.

(Continued in Credits)
After a while, they came to the London Underground. After Celine explained to Hagrid what to do, they both boarded the train, and sat down (Hagrid taking up 5 seats and getting constantly stared at for his size). In the train, Hagrid explained more about magic to Celine. First he told her all about Hogwarts there was to know; the teachers, the Headmaster (who she learnt was an extremely clever and kind man named Albus Dumbledore), and the lessons. He said he wanted the rest to be a surprise, so Celine didn't inquire any further. Then, Hagrid even got around to telling her about her family. He explained that her parents were called Madison and Micheal Granger-Weasley, that her grandmother was called Rose Granger-Weasley, and finally, that her great grandparents were called Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. He even told Celine all about their personalities. At last, the train stopped, and Celine and Hagrid got out. They walked for a couple of minutes, before coming across a huge brick wall. Hagrid took out his pink umbrella once more, and tapped the bricks in some strange order. They opened up to form an entrance, and revealed a whole alley named Diagon Alley.
