Hello to my sole reviewer. Only one review. How sad. I think I may cry...

Ok, I'm kidding about the crying bit. But still. One review. ONE. (On that same note, lotsa thanks to hpfreeak, even though you're an anonymous reviewer, you're the reason why we can post this, and I will now answer your question)

Yes, it is in two points of view. The reason: it's being written by two people. Ethan (that's actually a made-up name. He said it was akward to write about himself, so he made up Ethan in place of his real name, which I won't tell you because I don't know if he'll be okay with that) and I (Robyn. That's spelled with a 'Y', not an 'I'. Just making sure you know that) decided it would be fun to write a Harry Potter fanfic placed around Hildegarde, the North American "Hogwarts", that he discovered from a site called Hexrpg . com (without the spaces, duh). We are both HUGE Harry Potter freaks, and like to write, so we decided that if we didn't do this it would be a complete waste of talent and knowledge. The characters are really US, just with different last names (or in Ethan's case, first and last) and I don't really have an owl. I do have a big dog, though :D

Oh, and, what did you mean by '3 the story'?

If there's anything I can say about Solstice Alley, it's that it's big. And confusing. I'm sure it can't be all that much different from the ever-so-famous Diagon Alley all the way in the UK, but still...

It's BIG.

Ethan was walking a short ways ahead of me, having gotten used to the place from when his parents brought him here when he was little. Lucky him. I, on the other hand, never knew that such a place like this existed. It fascinates me to no end, which has gotten me lost multiple times. Then again, what's life without getting lost a couple times? I just get lost more than most.

We walked into the bookstore, and I smiled, breathing in the familiar scent. I'm such a bookworm, before our first year really started, my tour guide, Professor Yarmie thought I'd gotten lost. It was a very possible theory, but I was really just reading. And reading. And...You get the point.

I resisted checking out the new releases to go find my textbooks. I'd come back to look at that later, when we had all of our things.

"What else do we need, Ethan?"

He looked down at our lists; he was holding both because he was super-uper nice...and I was wearing my brand new combat boots. (A/N: Sorry. I just really like combat boots...)

"I think we've got just about everything. Unless you want to buy some things for Periscope, which you sorta should, and I figure that Chaos could use some new things, too." He suggested, referring to my owl and his cat. Said owl was at home right now (in a high up place where Casey can't reach, which is a little hard because Casey's so big and Periscope's so small.), and his cat was...somewhere. Ethan is incredible at keeping track of it, but I have no idea how. It just appears, disappears, and tries to scare me (Ethan denies that bit, but when it pounces on you in the middle of the night when you're reading A Series of Unfortunate Events...!)

We headed to the pet shop, where I quickly bought some treats for Periscope and saw Ethan deciding on cat toys. I smiled, and saw a kneazle in the corner. I'd always been fascinated in the cat-like creatures, and I went to take a look. So far, this one wasn't friendly.

I sucked on my now-bleeding finger as I looked around for Ethan. He wasn't in the cat toy section, not in the aviation section, not at the front desk to pay, and, according to a witch that only had to swish her wand slightly, not in the store at all. I sighed. He probably thought I got lost again and went to look for me. Ironically, since I didn't know where he was, I had the feeling that that was going to get me lost for real. I walked out the door and looked around. No Ethan.

I smiled. I know I'm not supposed to enjoy getting lost, especially since Ethan always lectures me about wandering off on my own, especially after he has to go find me...but I love the thrill of finding a new place that I've never seen before, which is always possible in Solstice Alley, and, if Ethan didn't always insist on 'finding' me, I'm sure I could find my way back. I think.

I looked at my options. I'd taken every direction available for me before. Except...

I slipped into the alleyway, curious. Okay, so maybe this wasn't the safest option available, but I was pretty sure that there were no axe-murderers (or Voldemort) down this alleyway. Besides, I wasn't even five feet tall, and wearing dark(ish) colours. I was unnoticeable as unnoticeable goes.

After a while, I began to notice that the buildings had no openings in between them. This made me slightly nervous, because if I did happen to run into an axe-murderer (or Voldemort), I wouldn't exactly have a place to go. I started to think about going back.

"Oi!"

In the split second after I heard the voice, I jumped about a foot in the air, whipped out my wand, turned around to face the person who had no right to scare a nervous midget, and I may or may not have screamed.

The person, clearly amused, was a tall young man with bright red hair, freckles, and...Only one ear?

"Sorry. I was wondering whether you were lost, but I think you answered my question with that scream." He said. A thick, English accent coated his words, and I grinned. I love accents. Any kind. Hey, who doesn't?

However, I then realized what he had said, and set my mouth in a straight line. "I did not scream. That...that was my battle cry." I said defiantly. Hey, I'll admit that I screamed to you, who's reading, but not him. Because I don't think that he can find a computer.

He walked up to me and stuck out a hand. "M'name's George Weasley." He said, "And you are?"

It didn't occur to me that he'd just asked me my name. All that found its way out of my mouth was, "aren't you supposed to be in Britain?"

Y'like?

Oh, and IF ANYBODY READS THIS, I AM LITERALLY ON MY KNEES (even though you can't see it) BEGGING YOU TO REVIEW! I MEAN, COME ON, PEOPLE! I WANT MORE THAN ONE!

(not to sound like Malfoy in a fit or anything, sorry if I came across that way. It's just nice to have support.)
