Hester sat down at a table, clutching her ice cream. She knew she probably shouldn't have got one (she was supposed to be eating healthily) but she just couldn't resist. She had chosen peanut butter, with chopped nuts on top, and the treat that she was holding looked delicious.
She licked it tentatively. Yes, it tasted as good as it looked. She smiled happily to herself and gazed out of the shop at the street full of people. This was the magical world, and she liked it. She had her supplies, she had her books, she had her owl, and best of all she had her wand.
A magic wand.
Who would have thought?
She licked at her ice cream and wondered what Hogwarts would be like.
