A/N: How's another Harry Potter fanfic sound? Well I decided that Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff weren't given enough credit so I'm giving them credit. No claims to anything but the four main characters.

A Letter and A Goblin

Angela's POV

What is going on? I wondered. My best friend was no longer talking to me and my mom said I got a letter from a school in the mountains. Daddy said I had to go to this new school. I'm only eleven!

Mum and Dad said we have to go get supplies for my new school. We got to a bar, yeah a real bar with drunks and stuff, and got out of the car. Mum took my hand and Dad led us through the bar. We got to the back door with little problems.

Dad opened the door and I saw that we were in an empty, walled off courtyard. I couldn't help myself, "Where are we?"

Mum smoothed my short black hair, "We are in the back of Leaky Cauldron." She said in her soft voice, "Welcome to Diagon Alley, my dear." I looked around Dad and saw that the brick wall had opened up into a shopping lane.

"How is this an Alley? It's full of shops and funny looking people." I said. Dad gave me a disapproving look. "Sorry." He nodded and we strolled down the alley until we got to a shop full of sweets.

Dad gave Mum a few golden coins and she went into the store. We sat down and waited for her to come back out. Soon she did and she handed out ice cream. "You must be full of questions." She said to me. I nodded and started eating my ice cream.

My parents shared a glance and Mum sighed, "Well, your father and I are wizards. We can do magic and so can you. That school we are sending you to is called Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardy. This place is to buy magical stuff for school. These strange looking people are witches and wizards. The children are shopping for their school supplies like you are."

My dad paused with his ice cream, "Today we have to get you a wand, a pet, a cauldron, robes, books, quills, and paper. I bet we'll run into a teacher or two as well!" He seemed excited. My parents were barely into their early thirties so I guess they still remember when they went to Hogwarts themselves.

As soon as we finished our ice cream my mum waved a wand and the bowls flew back inside. She smiled at the look on my face. We got up and walked a bit until we came to a tall building. I strained my neck looking up at it. "That's Gringotts Wizarding Bank." My dad said, "We have to get some money before we go get your stuff." I nodded and followed them inside.

There were rows on either side of the aisle but my parents went to a podium at the very end and waited. I looked around and saw another kid there. He was watching me. He had light brown hair and pale blue eyes.

Anthony's POV

I looked up from my mum's hands and the coins she held to see a girl with short black hair and icy blue eyes. She was pale and I could see freckles dotting her small button nose. "Mum? Who are they?"

My mum looked up and saw the girl and her parents. The girl looked at her parents and said something to them. Her father turned and locked eyes with my mum. He nodded to her and she nodded back. He said something to the girl and she strode over to us.

Before she got to us my mum said, "Be careful what you say, she is the daughter of Regulus Black and niece of Lucius Malfoy." I nodded and straightened my shoulders. Everyone knows Mr. Malfoy.

"Hello." She said, "My name is Angela Black." She held out her small hand and gave me a small smile. "Daddy said you should be a first year like me and that I should come say hi."

I glanced at my mum. She nodded and I took Angela's hand. "My name is Anthony Stevens. My family isn't as well known as yours is."

My mum pulled me away, "Nor as rich so don't be over here to gloat, little girl." She turned to me, "We only have thirty galleons, thirteen sickles, and eighteen knuts. Be careful with what you spend." I nodded and took the money from her. She handed me my list and left.

Angela stood kind of awkwardly behind me. "My mum and I are alone at home and she works so hard to get what little we do have." She took my hand after I pocketed what I held and took me to her parents.

"Mum, Daddy. This is Anthony, he and his mum get by with very little. Can we help him?" She said.

Her dad looked my over and said, "How many galleons do you have?"

I swallowed, "Thirty, Mr. Black." Her parents looked at their bank roll and then at the goblin behind the podium.

Angela whispered to me, "What is he?"

I smiled, "Goblin, stingy things think everything they get handed is theirs unless its written down as otherwise." She nodded and looked around quickly. "What?" She just smiled and darted behind one of the rows of goblins. A moment later she appeared at the end of the row with something bulging in her pocket.

I quickly joined her and we exited the bank. We walked down until we could hide between shops. She then showed me a roll of paper she had taken from one of the goblins. It had nothing on it but it had a note attached that said it was to be given to Lucius Malfoy for his son.

I smiled and she laughed, "Mr. Malfoy would probably pay to get this if the goblins were sitting on it." I coughed. "Yes, I stole it out from under his butt." I patted her shoulder and we went back to join her parents.

Mr. And Mrs. Black were waiting at the entrance of the bank for us. "Angela." Her father said, "Don't stray too far here, it isn't safe."

She bowed her head, "Sorry, Daddy."

Her ran a hand through her hair and smiled, "Let's go get your stuff. You too, Anthony." I glanced up and thanked him.

Angela's POV

A little while later we were biding Anthony a safe trip home. We had all of our stuff and he had all of his and then some. Mum bought him a snowy white owl, which he named Dimitri, and she bought me a jet black elf owl, which I named Xavier. I was excited and carried his cage myself.

Mum said I would leave for Hogwarts in a week. Dad frowned slightly and they began arguing over if I would become a Slytherin like him or a Hufflepuff like her. I didn't want to be either. From what I'd heard in Diagon Alley, the place to be was Gryffindor. With Mr. Harry Potter. Whoever he is.

A/N: So there's chapter one. Angela is always going to be one of my characters if it's a Harry Potter story so don't blame me for that one. And yes, as always my characters are based off of my friends. Hope you enjoy this new one!
