A Different Kind of Magic
Diagon Alley
"Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Ginny, Hermione, come on! We have to get to Diagon Alley to buy your school supplies!"
Several mumbles of, "Coming, Mom," came from the upper stories of the Weasley family residence, dubbed The Burrow.
Several minutes later, all six Hogwarts students were assembled in the kitchen, and Mrs. Weasley passes around a jar of Floo Powder. Fred and George stepped went first, throwing their powder on the fire and stepping in, calling "Diagon Alley!" loudly. Ginny and Hermione followed them, then Harry and Ron, and finally Mrs. Weasley. Their first stop was Gringotts, then they all split up, agreeing to meet ninety minutes later at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor before heading over to Flourish and Blotts to get their new books.
Fred and George immediately departed for the wizarding joke store, Gambol and Japes, while Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny went first to Madam Malkin's to buy new robes for Harry and Hermione and some decent dress robes for Ron (Harry's early Christmas present). Then they went to Quality Quidditch Supplies to drool over the newest broomstick model, the Nebula II. When Harry and Ron finished admiring it longingly, Hermione dragged them off into yet a different store to buy some new quills, parchment, and ink. Ginny found a little bottle of ink that wrote in a different color depending on what kind of a mood you were in, and bought some for herself with some Knuts she had saved.
The four started heading back to the ice cream parlor, and when they arrived they saw that Fred and George, who played on Griffindor's Quidditch team along with Harry, had located Angelina Johnson, who also was on the team, and were chatting casually with her over milkshakes. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny said hi, then sat down at the next table and ordered the ice creams. When they all had finished, Mrs. Weasley appeared and asked, "Are you ready to get your books?" The four Weasleys, joined by Harry, Hermione, and Angelina, got up and trooped down Diagon Alley after Mrs. Weasley until they reached Flourish and Blotts.
Harry's book-list for this year included The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 5, by Miranda Goshawk; Higgly-Doofs, Malicious Potions, and the Hand of Death: How to defend yourself against these and other Dark happenings, by H.G. Rimbo, Jr.; and Magical Renaissance (Times since You-Know-Who was defeated), by Bertha Binns. "I wonder if she is related to Professor Binns," wondered Hermione when she saw the name. They all located their new books and paid, heading back to the Leaky Cauldron to use the fireplace to get back home. Fred and George said goodbye to Angelina, and Mrs. Weasley pulled a small pouch of Floo Powder from a pocket in her robes. Once again, Fred and George went first, but right before Ron about to go he cried, "Wait! I forgot to get some refills for Potions!"
Before Mrs. Weasley could respond, Harry and Hermione were offering to go with him to buy the ingredients he needed. "Well, ok then. I'll take Ginny back and you three meet us at home as soon as you get what you need. No goofing around!"
"Ok Mom," Ron said. He turned around and left, followed by Hermione and Harry.
After he had bought his refills, they walked back towards the Leaky Cauldron, but on the way they passed a man in black robes with a cart, selling Floo Powder as well as a few magical trinkets. "Oi! Harry! Mom didn't leave us any Floo Powder!" Ron exclaimed when he saw the man.
"Oh man, you're right," the other boy responded. He walked over to the man, produced a silver Sickle, and took the proffered bag of Floo Powder. At the Leaky Cauldron, the trio headed toward the large fireplace, threw on a pinch of powder, and all cried, "The Burrow!" Then they all stepped into the flaring flames.
