Chapter 2~

"Welcome, Tsubaki, to Diagon Alley."

The bricks had a perfect entrance in them now, and Tsubaki and Hagrid walked through. The street was bustling with wizards and witches, children and adults. There were many shops, most looked very interesting.

"Alrigh', Tsubaki?" Hagrid asked. Tsubaki nodded. They went forward as Hagrid pulled out a small, crumpled peice of paper.

"Now let's see... We'll go get yer robes first." Hagrid said, and led Tsubaki toward a store. She was very unfamiliar with this place, so she was glad Hagrid was there.

(And if ur asking, "What about Gringotts?", Tsubaki already got her gold the day before.)

She and Hagrid entered the store. There was a woman there, measuring a student. "G'mornin, I'm here with Tsubaki today." Hagrid called to the woman. The woman's head jerked up at the mention of Tsubaki. "Goodness, can it be-" But before the woman could finish, Tsubaki nodded and said, "Tsubaki Natatsuka? Yup, that's me." Hagrid smiled, and told her he needed to do something, and told her to wait there and get her robes. She nodded, and stood to the side of the shop.

While the woman was in the back, the male student noticed her. "So, you're Natatsuka?" The boy said. Tsubaki took note that he had messy, short back hair, and glasses. Tsubaki nodded. "Oh wow," The boy gasped. "I can't believe I just met the most powerful being on earth."

"Mhmm." Tsubaki mumbled, as she picked at her way too dry nails. "Really need to get them done." She muttered to herself.

"My name is James Potter. I'm a descendent of the Potter family." The Potter boy said. Tsubaki mumbled a "Neat." Then went back to picking at her nails. The Potter boy seemed to want to have a conversation with Tsubaki. "So, what house you wanna be in at Hogwarts?" He asked. Tsubaki shrugged. "Dunno. Slytherin, maybe." She replied. Potter gasped. "Why Slytherin? I wanna be in Gryfindor, "where dwel the brave at heart"! Like my father always said." He stated. Tsubaki showed no interest in wanting to have a conversation. "Good for you, Potter." Tsubaki said simply.

Potter backed off a little on conversation-starting after that. Finally, the shop owner came out with the Potter boy's robes. "See ya at Hogwarts then, Natatsuka!" Potter waved as he headed out.

Finally, after they had gotten almost everything, it was time to buy a wand. She and Hagrid entered a shop called "Olivander's".

Olivander, as it turns out, was a strange man. But he was nice. She left with a very nice wand (thirteen inches, Rookwood, the core was Phoenix tail) and Olivander wished her good luck.

After they had finished shopping, Hagrid took Tsubaki to the Three Broomsticks for a drink of butterbeer. (They did have some trouble though, when a couple of drunk men asked Tsubaki if she wanted a drink with them. She DID look older than she was.)

"Well, I'll see yer tomorrow. Platform nine an' three quarters." They bid their temporary farewells.
