The last post is what has the pinglist if you want to do this.
In a small locked tower, never visited by any student at Hogwarts, sits an ancient book that has not been touched by human hands since the four founders placed it there on completion of the castle. Beside the book, which is bound in peeling black dragon-hide, stands a small silver inkpot and from this protrudes a long, faded quill. These are the Quill of Acceptance and the Book of Admittance and they constitute the only process by which students are selected for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
If anybody understands what powerful and long-lasting magic causes this book and quill to behave as they do, nobody has ever confessed to it, doubtless because it saves the staff tedious explanations to parents who are furious that their children have not been selected for Hogwarts. The Book and Quill’s decision is final and no child has ever been admitted whose name has not first been inscribed on the book’s yellowing pages.
At the precise moment that a child first exhibits signs of magic, the Quill, which is believed to have been taken from an Augurey, floats up out of its inkpot and attempts to inscribe the name of that child upon the pages of the Book.
Those few who have observed the process agree that the Quill might be judged more lenient than the Book. A mere whiff of magic suffices for the Quill. The Book, however, will often snap shut, refusing to be written upon until it receives sufficiently dramatic evidence of magical ability.
In fact, the Book’s sternness has a purpose: its track record in keeping Squibs out of Hogwarts is perfect. Non-magic children born to witches and wizards occasionally have some small, residual aura of magic about them due to their parents, but once their parents magic has worn off them it becomes clear that they will never have the ability to perform spells. The Quill’s sensitivity, coupled with the Book’s implacability, have never yet made a mistake.These words are not my own by J.K.Rowling, taken from this link.
And your name has just been inscribed.
Eleven Years Later...
You've received your letter and have all of your books and other necessities in order to go to Hogwarts. However, you've stumbled on a wee little problem: you're a dragon. Dragons can't go to Hogwarts, dragons can't wield wands, and dragons can't be witches or wizards. Fortunately there's a remedy to your problem. Taking into account the fact that dragons would not be able to learn magic as easily, the four founders came together and placed a powerful spell on the castle. So long as you are within it's grounds, you shall be a human. Once you leave, you will return to your scaly form. With this knowledge, you prepare for September 1st eagerly, counting down the days until you can be a student of magic...

Which house am I in?
Your house is determined by the flight element of the dragon you will be using is. Those in the fire, lightning, and shadow flights are Gryffindor; those within the wind and nature flights are Hufflepuff; those in arcane, light, and water flights are Ravenclaw; those with ice, earth, and plague are Slytherin.
