Chapter 1: Meeting Again

I grabbed a handful of ash-like powder and carefully said the words Diagon Alley then threw the powder on the floor of my fireplace. Green lights of fire engulfed me as my head whirled around like a top in a child's game. Every time I travel through floo powder I remember my first time, I accidentally vomited and it came out in someone's fire place, they made me clean it up once they found out who it was. I giggled as the whirling sensation stopped and I landed on the ground of the Leakey Cauldrons fireplace, the familiar smells and sounds filled my senses as I listened to the giddy laughter and amusement in the room, the smell of fire whiskey and butterbeer exploded in my nose, I was back. Home. To the world of wizardry.

I heard a whooshing noise and a scream getting louder with every second, just after I jumped out of the way my mother fell flat on her butt despite my fathers attempt to keep her up by holding her in a tight embrace.

"Are you alright Jane dear?" he asked helping her up and pulling her out of the fireplace, it was her first time traveling through floo powder, she is a muggle.

"Yes, yes just a bit dizzy" she said.

"It is quite a rush the first time, would you like a butterbeer?" I asked.

"How about water," she said.

"Alright, it's not as calming as butterbeer though," I said as I walked over to the bar tender.

"Hello Miss. Alli," he said, "Butterbeer?"

"No, just a water for my mom, she's a muggle, just traveled by floo powder for the first time" I said.

"Oh, alright one water coming up," he said grabbing a glass and fetching some water. I looked around as I waited. I saw many recognizable faces, there was Lindsey Longbottom, Jake and Marry Lovegood, Professor Lupin, and the Malfoys. As handsome and sweet as Scorpius Malfoy was, he could still be a jerk and I was always told by rose and her parents never to like him.

"Here you go miss," the bartender said handing me a glass of water. When I turned around Scorpius was there standing right in front of me. I gasped spilt the water slightly.

"SCOR!," I yelled excitedly then realized I spilt the water, "Shoot, remaneo" I said making the water came back into the glass

"Impressive, you already know the rewind spell," he said in a fake impressed way.

"You should know you helped me learn it," I teased.

"Oh yes I do believe it was me, the head of the class, who helped you get that?" he boasted

"Second, I just had trouble with that spell and that spell only" I said, we always had some kind of competition going on between us.

"Yea, Yea."

I then saw my Dad glaring at me so I said, "Well I have to get this back to my mom."

"See ya Allison" he said and I gave him my best evil eye for calling me Alison but inside I felt almost delighted that he called me that.

"You know its Allie" I said before walking away. When I reached my parents I said, "Here you go, Mom. I'm going to meet Lilly and Rose, they said they would be at Flourish and Blotts."

"Okay be safe Alli, I'm going to go see Harold at the Daily Profit office, would you like to come dear?"

"No thank you I'll stay with Alli so I can meet her friends and parents, after all I'd like to know the people she will be stay with for the remainder of the summer" Mom said

"Alright, see you Jane, goodbye Alli, I'll find you all later," he said giving us each a hug and kiss before walking out the door.

"Common Mom, I'll show you around," I said leading her out the door and into my third favorite place in the world, "This is Diagon Alley."

"Over there is Gringotts, the bank, and there is Florean Fortescue's the ice cream shop, down there is Knockturn Alley, you don't want to go down there, over there is George's shop, Weasley's Wizard Wheeze, and there is Ollivanders, best place to get a wand and oh look Flourish and Blotts, LILLY, ROSE!" I yelled

"ALLI!" they yelled and ran over.

"This is my mom, she's a muggle" I said proudly, I didn't care that she was non-magical she was my mom and I loved her.

"Hello Mrs. Dracloon" they said.

"Hello girls now don't tell me, you are…Lilly and you are Rose" she said getting it right on the first try"

"Yep" they answered.

"Hi Alli, we got your things just before we left," said Mrs. Potter, Lilly's mom"

"Oh goody, I was afraid I got the spell wrong," I said relived

"You, get a spell wrong? Impossible" Albus said walking over to us, my eyes widened slightly and my heart did little flips, I know he's Lilly's brother but I can't help my feelings.

"Yea, you're better then my mom was at your age," Rose said.

"I'm not that good," I said blushing faintly. "Where's Hugo, James and teddy?"

"At Uncle Georges store buying more joke junk" Rose said with a hint of disgust.

"Oh, cool," I answered.

"Common kids lets get your books," Mrs. Weasley said after explaining Hogwarts to my mother. We walked in while we discussed how we think fire whiskey would taste as the adults talked about the wizarding world to my mother.

"Hello" the shop owner said, "what books can I get for you?"

"Okay we need three copies of 'Standard Book of Spells: Grade four', one for grade five, grade 2 and grade six, two 'Magical Creatures And Where To Find Them' a 'advanced transfiguration grade four' one 'soaring high: learning to fly' and 6 potions books," Mrs. Weasley said

"And 'Quick Tricks for Quidditch'," I said.

"Make it two," Lilly added.

"Alright, Manny come help me with this order!" the shop keeper said.

As we waited James, Teddy and Hugo came through the door.

"Hello girls," James said while putting his arm around rose.

"What are you doing James?" and just after she finished that sentence a stink pad blasted all around James and Rose.

"JAMES!" she said

"ROSE" he mocked

"JAMES" Harry, Mr. Potter said

"MOM" Rose yelled

"DAD!" James complained about his punishment

"LILLY!" Lilly said with enthusiasm as everyone around laughed and the mood lightened once again.

"Okay here are some of the books, my dad is still getting the rest" Manny, the shop keeper's son said.

"Hey Manny," Teddy said, the were both the same age.

"What's up?" he asked and they got into a discussion about their summer.

"So Alli, have you seen anyone else on you way here?" Rose asked.

"Just Scorpius, we talked for a few seconds," I said.

"Eww that rat face?" Rose said

"He's not that bad," Lilly said.

"Yea he is actually pretty…" I wanted to say charming but decided not to, "nice, when ha wants to be."

"Well, my dad says him and his father are both up to no good and are still under the alliance of…you know who" Rose said

"Oh please you don't really believe that? Sure my dad doesn't like his dad but that's our father dispute not ours," Lilly said.

"Well I don't like him either he has this weird vibe coming off him" Hugo said joining in on the conversation.

"You don't even know him, he's not in your year" Lilly said.

"Neither are you," rose argued.

"Okay can we get off this topic? Who cares its Scorpius Malfoy we are talking about? Why should we waste our time discussing him when we can talk about…" I put my hand over my heart, "Jonathon Wood! The Quidditch captain!"

"Alright I'm leaving" Hugo said.

"He's sooo cute!" Lilly said.

"Oh I know, and those eyes! Blue as can be!" Rose said

"Yummy!" I said and we three giggled.

The manager came back with our books and we went to get some ice cream. After that, to Rose's disagreement we went to George's shop, that's always filled with laughing kids and teenagers. Rose got a pigmepuff, and Lilly and I got some invisible ink, invisible ink identifier, color changing ink, stink pads, joke candy and animal candy. Then after buying all of our school supplies it was time to say goodbye to my mother and father.

"Call me when you get there" Mom said handing me a cell phone for emergencies only followed by a five minuet hug and kiss.

"Have a great year sweetheart" Dad said giving me a quick hug and kiss, "write to us."

"I will Snowel is already at the Potter's," I said referring to my owl.

"Goodbye, love you" they said before I grabbed onto the pot key made for us.

"Love you too!" I yelled just before the pot key went off and carried us to another location within the world of magic.
