Hey guys, we had a huge debate about what we wanted in the story and then decided to rewrite the entire thing... so yeah. Hope you enjoy our newly rewritten story!


Harry Potter looked around in awe at Diagon Alley. Many witches and wizards were milling around by the shops. A few younger people ran around, laughing in a carefree way. His eye caught something floating through the air. Two things actually. A pair of paper birds soared around above his head, wings fluttering, and he let out a breath of surprise.

"Stop it Avery! That's cheating!" A female voice called.

"No it isn't Alle! You never said tickling was against the rules."

Harry turned to see two girls, about a year or two older than him, scuffling. One, with tan skin, green eyes, and brown hair, was tickling the other brunette pale girl with matching green eyes. Finally the victimized girl slapped the other and they turned their attention to the birds, which were starting to drift towards the ground. They pointed their wands up and the birds followed their movements. A small smile crept onto Harry's face. He was paying so much attention to the paper birds, he didn't notice one girl barreling towards him until it is too late. They both fell to the ground, Harry's glasses being crushed beneath them. The girl immediately leapt up and helped Harry to his feet.

"Oh I'm terribly sorry! Oh dear, your glasses are broken," The tanner brunette apologized before ruefully picking up his glasses.

"Oh I suppose they are."

"No worries! I'll fix them up real quick!" She took out her wand before pointing it at the pair of glasses. "Oculus Reparo."

Harry blinked in surprise as he took back his glasses the girl is offering to him. She offered him a friendly smile and extended her hand out to him. He warily took it, subtly looking around for Hagrid and feeling relief when he noticed him approaching them.

"I believe I should introduce myself. After all, you're probably wondering who ran into you. The name's Lemaire. Avery Lemaire."

"H-Harry Potter."

This time it was Avery's turn for her eyes to widen. Then her jaw dropped and she was at a loss for words. The other girl with her ran up and chuckled quietly.

"You've dropped something."

"What?" Avery asked in confusion.

"Your jaw."

"Shut up. Don't mind my cousin Alle here, she's a snark. She thinks just because she's a fancy four year Ravenclaw, she knows better than anyone else. Alle, meet my new friend Harry Potter."

Alle raised a single brow at the boy with a nod, her face near expressionless. At this time Hagrid made an appearance.

"Oh! I see ya met Av'ry and Alle! Two good girls they are."

Avery blushed a light scarlet hue at the compliment, Alle's emotion remaining indifferent.

"Hello, Hagrid. You're here with Mr. Potter I assume," the girl noted, a smile yet to appear upon her face. Harry looked up at her in confusion, wondering what had become of the laughing girl he had seen just mere minutes ago.

"Ah yes, 'Arry an' I were just 'bout to head over to Ollivander's and then I thought I would pick up some treats for Fang," the half giant smiled, his expression joyous as usual.

"We could take him," Avery cut in to the conversation, "Harry. I'm sure we could take him over to Ollivander's." Alle gave the girl a disapproving look but out of politeness added on.

"That way you could go ahead with your errands." The man looked between the two girls and Harry then and a thankful nod.

"Well if it's a'right with you 'arry I think that sounds great." When he looked to the boy for approval he found him nodding, not sure if he had the option to reject. The half giant walked in the other direction and the boy turned toward the girls.

"Well, shall we?" Alle asked impatiently, starting towards the wand shop. Harry, at first unsure, decided to look to the second girl for confirmation, assurance that it was safe. Avery nodded and smiled warmly, dropping a simple, "She doesn't bite."
