Half an hour of sketching later, an old-ish looking woman walked into Ms. Babcock's office. About a minute after that, Harry and Alex were called into the office.

"This woman says the two of you were accepted to some boarding school, and she is supposed to take you to buy the school supplies you need. Go with her," Cecilia said and waved them off.

The moment they were away form the orphanage, McGonagall said, "I see you two received the letters sent to you. We are going to Apparate straight to Diagon Alley, where we will get your school things. Understand?"

"Yes," the two best friends said together, intimidated. Minerva smiled. "It didn't mean to frighten you, but we must get going. Grab my hands."

They grabbed her hands, and were in Diagon alley in a blink.

"We will get your books, then your robes, then wands, then owls or such, then cauldrons and the rest. But first, we will go to Mr. Potter's vault to get his money," McGonagall said.

"I'll pay for Alex's things too," Harry volunteered.

"Thank you Harry," Alex said quietly.

"It's not a problem Al."

The group went to Gringotts, got a bunch of money out of Harry's vault, and got educated on the money system. Then they got their books, robes, and wands. Alex's wand was made of oak, had unicorn tail hair for a core, and was 11 inches even. At the pet shop, Alex found a black pit bull, with white paws. She named her Socks. Harry found a snowy owl, and named her Hedwig. Finally, they got their cauldrons and the rest, and left to go home to the orphanage to await September 1st.

A/N: It may be short, but at least it's an update! Don't count on very many, school is starting **gag**. As you guessed, dad FINALLY put the stuff back on!
