"Mum, I can't believe I'm here. I can't believe I am a witch!" Hermione exclaimed, looking at her mother.

Miranda smiled and shared a look with her husband. It had been a long time since she and Jason had seen their daughter so happy, so full of life. Ever since Professor McGonagall had come and explained that all the weird things that had happened around Hermione was accidental magic...that she was a witch….their daughter was a whole new person.

Now they were out for the first time in the magical world to buy school supplies. They had been to the bank first to change their pounds into Wizarding money: Galleons, Sickles and Knuts.

"So? My dear, what do you want to buy first?" Miranda asked her daughter who was looking all over Diagon Alley, taking in the sights.

Hermione looked carefully at all the shops, and then on the school supply list, and a huge smile broke on her face.

"I wanna see the Apothecary for Potions! Then the book shop. After then I can get my wand. Or should I get my wand first? What do you think? "

Her parents laughed.

"Whatever you wish Sweetie."

Then Hermione noticed a dark figure entering the apothecary and she rushed in after him, shouting to her parents, "Potions!"

She had never seen someone dressed in all black until now. She found it fascinating. Hermione had to see what he looked like, if his face was as dark as the rest of him.

She couldn't explain her curiosity, though. And she didn't think anyone would have been able to. It was all so strange.

She entered right after him, breathing hard from her running.

She only got to hear, "Thank you for coming, Professor Snape," before the mysterious dark person passed by her and exited the shop, leaving her dumbfounded.

Then the man behind the glass asked her, "First year, my dear? What could I do to help you?"
