Chapter Two: Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, and Ollivanders
"Harry. What do you need for school?" Mom asks her green eyes filling with pride.
"Supplies: A wand, A cauldron; Pewter, standard size 2. A set of glass or crystal phials, A telescope, A set of brass scales. Uniform: Three pairs of plain black work robes, One plain pointed hat, A pair of dragon hide protective gloves, and one winter cloak. Course Books: The Standard Book of Spells: Grade One by Miranda Goshawk, A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot, Magical Theory by Adalbert Waffling, A Beginners' Guide to Transfiguration by Emeric Switch, One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi by Phyllida Spore, Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander, and The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection by Quentin Trimble." I say, often stopping to take a breath. I could feel kids begin to stare at me. I looked around, I couldn't see my cousins or my uncles. It was just my parents and I. My Dad is a famous auror, and I figured that was why people were staring. Boy, was I wrong.
I walked into Ollivanders while Mom went to go get my books, and Dad went to go get my Uniform and other supplies. I stood there, awkwardly until a strange looking man appeared.
"Harry! Happy Birthday. You're here to get your wand for school I suppose." He dashed off into what looked like heavy duty bookshelves, and returned moments later with a box. Ollivander took a wand from the box and handed it to me. "Well, give it a wave."
I did. The papers on his desk lit on fire.
"Nope, how about this one?" And that is how it went on for hours. Until when he got to a certain box, handed me the wand and I swished it. It began to glow and a wonderful feeling came over me. It felt like this wand belonged in my hand. Like it needed to be there.
"Beautiful." Said my mother who must have been there for a while, because she was comfortably sitting in a seat, watching.
"Very." Agreed Ollivander.
"Thank you Mister Ollivander." I thanked him, this was going to be a wonderful year at Hogwarts.
"You're very welcome Mister Harry Potter." Ollivander says. I reached into my pocket and gave him five golden galleons.
"I'll have to come back to visit sometime." I smiled and walked out of the door.
Mom followed, waving goodbye to Ollivander. We walked for a few minutes until we ran into Uncle Sirius and Jake. I smiled and the grown-ups waved for us to go find something to do. We immediately went to go find Teddy, and possibly Arthur. We walked around, and we figured we looked like twins. The only thing that is really different, is his hair has a wave to it and mine was stick straight, and his eyes were a beautiful stone grey and mine were a lively emerald green, like my mother's. We both ran around, in the same outfits, we wore our new school robes, looking for our friends.
We found Teddy in a book store, and about fell over backwards laughing when we saw what he was reading. He was reading a muggle comic book, hidden in a spellbook. He didn't notice that we were there until we fell against the window, cracking up. Teddy gave us a dirty look and mouthed 'Shut it' to us and I swear he looked really scary. Jake and I took out our wands and showed them to him. His eyes went big, and he ran out of the store to come see us.
"You got wands?" Teddy says.
"No, we're holding sticks." Jake giggles.
"Jake! Very funny. High five." I say holding my hand in the air.
Jake high fives me.
"You two are so immature." Teddy says smiling, "I love it."
"WE DO TOO!" Jake and I yell simultaneously.
"You do what?" Teddy says, sitting on the bench and putting his arms behind his head.
"You said we were immature?"Jake says.
"Harry is the one with a Charms teacher for a parent."
"Don't bring mum into this!" I yell. It annoys me to know that my mom is a teacher at Hogwarts, especially because I was going to have to take it every year from now on. She would make me.
"Alright, Mamma's boy." Teddy says.
"I'm not a Mamma's boy." I say, shaking my head, this would be a long year.
A/N: Review and I will love you forever! Ideas are very welcome. Suggestions too. Nothing is too big.
