Margret's Letter
Margret receives her letter on her eleventh birthday, August 23rd, 2009, during a visit from Deputy Headmaster Filius Flitwick. There was a slight verbal altercation between Flitwick and May when she came in and disrupted Flitwick's explanation of the Wizarding World.

Diagon Alley
Margret and the other half-blood, muggleborn, or muggle-raised students go to Diagon Alley with Flitwick on August 30th, the same day that Ariadne and her sisters went to pick up their school supplies. While at Diagon Alley, Ariadne purchased a second familiar to bring to Hogwarts (a black cat with blue eyes, Oberon); Margret also purchased a familiar (a hairless cat, Tyson). Ariadne and Margret met briefly at Magical Menagerie when they were looking at Oberon in a cage.

About halfway through their shopping at Diagon Alley, the PCs witnessed part of a speech by a member of some kind of political group whose opinions were charged with anti-pureblood sentiments. The group is known to have ties with Hogwarts students and has, in recent months, escalated to a non-peaceful protest group.

Hogwarts Express
On the Hogwarts Express, Ariadne and Margret sat together (following a tearful departure from Miles and Peter), and began chatting. They bought chocolate frogs with cards of Salazar Slytherin (Ariadne) and Carlotta Pinkstone (Margret), and soon arrived to Hogwarts.

Sorting
Margret was sorted into Ravenclaw.

Ariadne was sorted into Hufflepuff.

First Month of Classes
The PCs learned a variety of spells.
