Millia and her mum Sue had moved from France to England in the summer break
just before a new year at Hogwarts. She had been looking forward to
starting fresh at a new school. Meeting new people is always exciting for
her, although she doesn't have many friends.
Her dad passed away when she was young and she lives with her mother, who is a very experienced witch. Her mother used to be a teacher back in France but decided to retire in England and have a break from all the stress.
It had been Millia's 16th birthday in September and she received her letter from Hogwarts welcoming her to the school. If there's one thing about Millia it's that she loves birthdays. That morning she opened her Hogwart's letter and screamed before even opening it.
"Millia, is the letter from Hogwarts?!" Her mother screamed at the bottom of the stairs. "If it is dear, give it to me to open."
Millia lived in a clean white 2-storey house with a wide living area big enough for the both of them. Millia loved it; she loved the freedom.
"Yea it is, hang on there's another letter here... it's for you!" Millia replied
"Who is it from?" Sue asked
"Doesn't say, mum," Millia said whilst coming down the stairs towards her mother.
"Don't tell me it's from that blasted Barry."
Barry was their obsessive neighbour back in France. He had this thing for Millia's mother. One of the reason's why they left was he. One day when Millia and Sue got home from buying school robes they opened the door and saw Barry holding a bunch a roses, which came from THEIR back garden. Sue took them from Barry and chased him out of their house. They still didn't have a clue how he got in the house for starters.
Millia staring at the letter closely all round, but couldn't find any name.
"Nah, its not Barry... the freaky muggle." Millia shuddered in disgust.
"Good. That man asked me to marry him, Millia! Did u know that?" Sue said.
"Gross, really?" Millia said.
"Ha, I told him to buzz off." Sue chuckled.
Whilst she was still reading the Hogwarts letter, she turned the page and saw the books and things she had to get for Millia.
"Oh, Millia, it's got your book list," she said. "You also have to get new school shoes. Your other ones have got holes in them."
"But mum, where do we get all this from?" She asked in interest.
Sue kept reading down. She looked a bit confused though. "Ahhh.... there's a place called Diagon Ally," she read. Still looking a tad confused, she wondered over to her bag and pulled out a witch's guidebook of places to go. She opened it up and looked in the index. Scrolling her finger down the page she stopped and pointed to a place called Diagon Ally. Millia walked over to her mother and read out the name.
"Diagon Ally... interesting. I think I've heard of it before, ahhh, I know where it is. It's supposedly meant to be the place to go for all your school things."
"So you'd rather go there for your birthday then spend time with...me," she said with a grin.
"There's nothing else to do, I also really want to see what it's like," Millia replied cheerfully.
"Ok then, but what are we going to do about this strange letter?" Sue said with a scared look on her face. "Dunno, just leave it here and we'll open it up when we get back.
So Millia and Sue grabbed their things and headed towards the fireplace.
"Are we going by floopowder mum?"
"Why not, haven't been by it in ages, dear." Sue said convincingly.
Millia shrugged, grabbed a handful of the powder that was lying next to the fireplace and stepped in. "Diagon Ally!" She clearly shouted and let go of the brown powder in her hand.
Just then a bright green flame showered over her and she disappeared. Her mother did the same. Before they knew it, they came into the alley of magic.
