As the summer before Bridget's 6th year at school you would think she would be excited or even nervous to be going to be not only going back to school but to a new school. But she couldn't be, she was not truly sure she would be going, her parents have told her more than once that she would be attending a new school but every time it came time to go, they had moved. Her father, Thomas, was a Healer and a stupendous one at that, so they have never settled anywhere her whole life because Thomas was needed whenever someone came in with something no one else could figure out how to fix. They had traveled the world, all her education has come from her mother, who finished school with Outstanding in almost every subject, so she had been taught well. Bridget had thought about going to traditional school meeting new friends and having new experiences, so she hoped to finally go to Hogwarts but she kept trying to keep her hopes under control to not get disappointed. Although Bridget's parents had assured her she would be going Hogwarts just like both of them had. Her mother, Adrianne, was in the house, Ravenclaw, which prizes intelligence, creativity, resourcefulness and cleverness. Bridget's father was in Slytherin, a house where they pride being cunning, ambitious, clever and resourceful. So her parents fit very well together but they couldn't stop arguing about which house Bridget would be in. Being 16 Bridget had been hoping that she could get away from her parents to go to school and get some freedom. Bridget had always had a need to be free and thirst to try to new things. As September 1st grew closer Bridget realized she must be going to Hogwarts so she must go and get her school things with her mother.

Adrianne yelled to her daughter. "Bridget Kathleen, we need to be going, I want to be home to make dinner for your father."

"Mom, you know dad will probably be late, he will curing something or healing someone so I think if I take two more minutes we should be fine." Bridget called down to her waiting mother.

Bridget took one last look in the mirror not to see how beautiful she was but to see if the flaws of her were at least somewhat hidden. It didn't matter how many times people told her how beautiful she was, she just couldn't seem to believe it herself. But Bridget was satisfied enough for today because she grabbed her large black purse as she walked out of her room and down the long hall to the stairs as walking down the stairs she heard her mother talking to their house elf, Peeky, saying

"Maybe, I should just leave Bridget here. She is taking long enough."

Bridget normally would have told her mother just to go without but she felt like she should go though because she could maybe meet some people that she would be going to school with. That way Bridget wouldn't have to sit alone on the train. Bridget walked right over to the fireplace and grabbed a handful of Floo powder and steps in to the fireplace.

"What is place called again, Mom?" Bridget asked.

"It is Diagon alley, how do you not remember that? I could have never forgot the name." Adrianne responded to her daughter

"Maybe that is because you have actually been there, Grandmother didn't take you all over the world so you got to go there and Hogwarts." Bridget retorted.

Then she threw the powder down to the floor and she felt her stomach in her throat then when the feeling stopped she knew its time to step out. Bridget waited for her mother, when she arrived they set off down the alley. Bridget's eyes dart back and forth over everything, she couldn't believe how amazing it all looked. The first shop she had an urge to go into is called Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes but she knew first they must go to the bank, Gringotts. But Bridget still told her mother she want to go there and her mother went in a story how she knew two Weasleys and how maybe it was own by them or even their children.

Bridget's eyes got huge as she saw the bank with its huge white columns and how it is towering over all the other shops. They walked in to get their money, Bridget saw all the goblins and was curious about them.

Adrianne grabbed Bridget's arm and whispered "Do not stare, they get very offended."

So Bridget just looked at the gorgeous chandeliers before getting pulled into a tunnel and geting into a cart, it sped down making sharp turns at rapid speeds. It stopped at their vault, Adrianne got out and went to get the gold as she came back she heard Bridget.

"So, what else in there?"

Adrianne decided to ignore and asks "So sweetheart, where would you like to go first?"

"I want to go to that Weasley store and see what they have." Bridget said.

"Okay, let's go there first but only for a few moments because then we have to go get your school things." Bridget's mother replied.

Bridget and Adrianne walked down the street to the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and Bridget's eyes scan the signs and silently laughed at the U-NO-POO words. Even though Bridget's parents were purebloods they didn't really pick a side with Voldemort. Not that he had not tried to get her father on his side but everyone knew of Thomas Cartwright and he made that clear to Voldemort so if he was to leave his job to help Voldemort people would worry, so Voldemort drop the subject for now. The family had been to a few gatherings, if you could call them that, of his fellows throwing and the people were nice enough.

As they walked in and Bridget saw a huge pink area of the shop with the sign over it saying "Wonder Witch" over it and knew that is the place for her to be. She walked over and saw small pink puff balls, wondered about what they were as a young woman in magenta robe walked over to her or maybe to the pink puffs.

"Hello, how are you doing? I see you are looking at our pygmy puffs, what do you think of them?" the woman asked.

"I'm not really sure what to think of them, what are they?" Bridget asked.

"They are pygmy puffs, miniature puffeskeins. They are very cuddly and they roll around and squeak."

"I will take one then, a pink one please." said Bridget.

Bridget decided that all she needs and go to the cashier and had to call over to her mother because Bridget had no money on her. Adrianne came over pay for whatever Bridget was buying without glancing at it. They walked out the shop together and Adrianne looked at what Bridget bought.

"So do you want a owl or is that little puff all you wish to take to school with you?"

"I think this is all I want for now. Thank you for getting it for me, Mother" Bridget said.

Bridget was brought up to always say thank you for everything even though it seems like neither of her parents care about her thank you's but she would always still say it. They kept shopping and getting all of Bridget's school supplies.

"Okay I think we have it all would you like to go to The Leaky Cauldron and get lunch?" Bridget's mom asked.

"Yes, that seems that a good idea. How much do I need to get?" Bridget responded.

She was turned back talking to her mother as she was walking in the door. And she ran straight into something, something tall and quite a bit bigger then herself. Bridget looked up and saw a boy with bright white blonde hair who looked like someone she had seen before.

Without looking down at Bridget the boy said "God, can't you look where you are going and maybe then you won't have to walk into others."

"Well, I'm sorry that you have to be so rude to just go off like that before I can even say how sorry I am for walking in to you but now I'm glad I did not." Bridget retorted to the rude bloke.

She looked up in his face and realized that he is quite cute but still that doesn't mean that he wasn't a butthead. She backed up to get out of the doorway and the people behind him to get through. As she did that, his gray eyes scan her up and down stopping several times at her chest. He walked over and puts out his hand to shake hers. Even though she was brought up with wonderful manners she just stared at it.

"My name is Draco Malfoy." He said like he wasn't just rude to her.

"Well that's good to know I was just going to think of you as butthead." Bridget informed him.

As she said that her mother gasped "Narcissa, is that you? How are you?"

Bridget turned to see who her mother was talking to and saw a stunning blonde woman who looked quite like the boy but less sharp. The woman walked over to Bridget's mother and hugged her.
