Apostrophe Quiz Part 2
Hi I'm Kaly,
I'm going to tell you a story about the Diamonds family. Crystal Diamond was badly mistreated by her step mom, and step dad. They made a rule saying that she can't ask any quesions about what happened to her family.
One day she got a letter saying that it's time for her to go to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the letter it explained the following:
Gringotts- Wizard/Witch bank
Store: Madam Malkins' Robes for All Occasions
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 pupils clothes should carry name tags.
Flourish and Blotts School Books
All students should have a copy of each of the following:
The Standard Book of Spells (Grade One) By Miranda Goshawk
A History of Magic By Bathilda Bagshot
Magical Theory By Adalbert Waffling
A Beginners' Guide to Transfiguration By Emeric Switch
One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi By Phyllida Spore
Magical Drafts and Potions By Arsenius Jigger
Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them By Newt Scumander
The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection By Quentin Trimble
Other stores: Eeylopes Owl Emporium- buy an owl, cat, rat or toad/ Ollivanders-wands
Apothecany- cauldrons, glass or crystal phials, telescopes, brass scales, potion ingredients, quills, and ink.
Other Equipment:
One wand
One cauldron (pewter, standard size 2)
One set glass or crystal phials
One telescope
One set brass scales
Quills, potion ingredients, and ink.
Hogwarts has school owls. Students may also bring an owl OR a cat OR a rat OR a toad. Its school owls are available to anyone, that needs to use them.
Crystal's step parents brought her to London, then left her with her bank key, her letter and her train ticket. When she went into the Leaky Cauldron the sun's rays were dimmed, and it took a while to get used to.
She then went into the first shop she saw because she had to go to the bathroom. She accidentally went into the men's bathroom, and then she went into the women's bathroom. After she was done she went to Gringots' (the bank) and got enough money to last her the entire year. The money's shiny surface was magnificent. At first she had trouble counting the money and giving out the correct amount, because wizard/witch money is very different from muggles (non-magic people) money. She needed other children her age to help her count out the correct amount.
When she had all her school supplies she, bought a Butterbeers at The Three Broomsticks. Butterbeers' taste was great! On the way out she ran into a long lost friend. They talked for awhile then said their good byes. On the way out she noticed that she had Jesses' wand. She thought to herself "I need to remember to call her when I get to school." When she arrived at the train station, she put all her things into a cart including the owl, then she ran straight through platforms nine and ten. She was finally on her way to Hogwarts.

Second entry
Hi it's Kaly again
I just finished adding a bunch of books to my Shelfari, so be sure to check them out. I love Harry Potter and Twilight! I've read all of both series and highly recommend both series. One of my most memorable scenes was when Harry Potter got a snowy owl for his birthday from Hagrid. Harry had never gotten anything this valuable before, so he treasured this owl. He named the owl Hedwig. Hagrid saved Harry's life when he was just an infant, and has been his friend ever since.
In "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the book had cooler and more complicated challenges than the movie, but I did like the movie. In the movie you go to a chess board and have to beat the opponent, but in the book you have to drink a potion that either brings you to safety again, leads you to Voldemort or kills you. It's a lot more challenging in the book, because you have to figure out which potion is the best one... ultimately getting to Voldemort is the best choice so you can figure out where the Sorcerer's stone is before Voldemort does. The Sorcerer's stone is called the "elixer of life"...you are immortal with this. Wouldn't that be great?
Another difference between the book and the movie, is in the book one of the professors at Hogwartz asks the head master whether Harry Potter will have a scar on his forehead forever, and the head master tells him yes. They both have scars from different important events, which makes them important. Later on in the book Harry is misled through the scar on his forehead by a bad character in the book that set him up. He did because he wanted to kill Harry and knew he'd be able to lead Harry into a trap. In the end he does end up in the trap, but makes it out alive thanks to his friends helping him.
I am changing subjects now. I love to write acrosstic poems! It gets my brain thinking, and it also has to make sense to me like the one I entered for in the poem contest. One of my favorite things to write about is my extracurricular activities like roller blading, swimming, and riding my bike. It's sometime really hard to come up with words that start with letters "z", "x" and "q", of course when I have to use them.
I guess that's my entry for this week..hope you like the information I've provided. Have fun and hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,
Kaly Worthington
