Hello everyone! I am going to post my first fanfic and I hope you enjoy it! I would love to get some response if you think that there should be any changes or if something has been forgotten.
I have chosen to call this fanfiction "Don't judge a book by its cover" and here is the first chapter and also a little sneak peak of the second :)

Chapter 1

My fingers couldn’t move. They just couldn’t. This application could be one of the biggest steps of my life. Was architecture really the right way to go? No one could tell and I felt my stomach twinge. No, this was not right. Clearly my stomach told me otherwise and knew that I had one other option left, which I had avoided for exactly five years: Hogwarts.
As usual, I had gotten my letter at the age of eleven but as dumb as I was back then I sent a letter back and replied Professor McGonagall myself, telling her that I wanted to go to school in the muggle world. She wrote another letter in which she asked me why. I told her that I had some brilliant friends that I didn’t want to be separated from. She understood and told me that I could come to Hogwarts any time I wanted to.
Now it suddenly hit me. I should go to Hogwarts.

Making the decision and telling my parents wasn’t the easiest part. I would have so much catching up to do! The idea of flying from Sweden to England and enter a boarding school from a community I had never visited was not one of my most brilliant plans my dad confessed to me. I agreed but I was still determined. I was going to England.

First, I would have to write a letter to professor McGonagall. What would I write? “Hey Minerva! It has been a long time since I got my letter but I would like to come to Hogwarts and learn some magic”. No. That was not it. I searched in my box of old letters and at last I found the old Hogwarts envelope written in green ink. I took it to the kitchen, got a larger envelope and some paper and started writing a letter. I wrote down my motives for wanting to start at Hogwarts. I told her that I was up for all the extra homework that I would get and that I had read the Harry Potter books and knew at least some thing about the wizarding world. I finished with that I was good at making friends and fitting in, so starting in a year where the students had known each other for five years wouldn’t be a problem. When I had finished my letter I put it in the envelope together with my old Hogwarts letter in case the people at Hogwarts needed proof. I took the envelope and went to the post office and hoped that it would get through to McGonagall.

The following days were torture. I had to tell my best friend Emma that I would be leaving for a boarding school in England. I told her it was a really fancy school, that it was a lifetime opportunity and that we would still see each other on the summer vacation just to make the whole situation soften up a little. I also had to pack. Do not underestimate the toughness of packing. It was a wonder that everything fitted into two bags.

A week later after sending the letter, an owl flew down our chimney and dropped a letter on our table. I recognized the elegant handwriting and the green ink. It felt like a déjà vu.
“Dear Ms. Emerson,
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 book and equipment. Term begins on September the 1st. We await your owl by no later than July the 31st.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Headmistress”

Wow.
I sent a simple note back with the owl saying “I’m coming”.

Sneak peak, Chapter Two

Chapter Two

I was walking towards platform 9 and 10 with a bunch of nervous first years. I was very nervous and I started to doubt my decision. Slowly I spotted children with their families sprinting through the brick wall. It looked odd but it was quite interesting to finally see how it worked. I pushed my trolley forward and started to run towards the wall. I would have thought that it would be hard sprinting towards a wall, but it felt kind of natural.
Amazingness hit me when I saw the Hogwarts Express. With its bright red colour, deafening sound coming from the engine and the enormous amount of students boarding the train I was struck still. After a few seconds I regained control over my legs and started walking in the direction of the train. Suddenly a little girl ran past me with a bare distance of about a centimeter. I tripped and accidentally dropped my handbag and all my precious chocolate frog cards fell out on the platform floor. Suddenly a very deep and angry voice spoke.
- Lily Luna Potter! Watch out where you run and help the poor girl whom you knocked down.
