We walked on the cobblestone street and I looked in awe at my surroundings.

This was so much better than the fake one I went to in Orlando!

We walked into Gringotts and Abigail spoke with the goblins.

Goblins!

To be honest, they freaked me out quite a bit, which I know, is ironic, considering what I've been through. We followed one of them, Nagnok, to the end of the hall where he opened a door that led to a stone passageway lit with torches. A small cart sped towards us on the tracks and stopped. We got in and the cart sped off. The wind made my eyes tear up a bit and before I knew it we were at our vault. The goblin opened the vault and I held in a gasp. There were piles of Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts as well as jewelry and other gold items. I shouldn't have been so surprised that our vault looked a bit similar to the Lestrange's. Abigail took two bags from her purse. She filled both, one less than the other, and gave the one with less to me.

"You should have some spending money." She said simply.

After Gringotts, we made our way to Ollivander's. I was so nervous. My hands were sweating a lot and I was hyperventilating a little bit. We walked into the shop where rows of wand after wand sat. I took a deep breath as Ollivander appeared from a row.

"Abigail Pierson, Cedar wand. Twelve and a quarter inches long. Unicorn hair core. Slightly yielding flexibility." Mr. Ollivander said. "And what is your name?" he asked.

"Alexa Kapoor, sir." I chirped.

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you." He said kindly before pulling out a measuring tape.

The measuring tape acted of its own accord while Mr. Ollivander searched for a wand for me. It took four tries to get the right one.

"Cherry wood and unicorn hair, eleven inches, with slightly yielding flexibility." He handed it to me.

I waved it and purple and silver sparks shot out. I turned to look at Abigail and her eyes shone with tears. I smiled. We payed for the wand which was seven galleons and made our way to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. My mom left for a bit and came back when I was done being fitted for robes. We paid for the robes before going to Flourish and Blotts. I was walking around admiring the books while searching for the required ones when I walked straight into someone.

"I'm so sor-" I stopped mid-sentence because I recognized the girl I had walked into. It was Hermione Granger.

"Oh, no. I should have been watching where I was going." She apologized.

"Are you going to Hogwarts?" I asked her even though I had known the answer for over a decade.

"Yes, are you?" She asked, I nodded. "I'm really excited, my parents are muggles, you see, so all of this is very new! I can't wait to learn about everything!" She exclaimed.

"I can't wait to learn about everything either! I'm Alexa, by the way." I put out my hand for her to shake.

"Hermione." She shook it.

"Alexa?" I heard my name being called.

"That'll be my mum, I need to finish shopping for supplies. It was nice meeting you!" I said.

"It was nice meeting you too!" Hermione said to me before turning around and walking away. Her bushy hair bouncing with each step.

I found Abigail who had four books in her arms,"Where'd you run off to?"

"Sorry, I walked into another girl going to Hogwarts and we started talking." I apologized.

"It's alright, let's hurry up though, it's getting late." She said.

After we bought all my books, we went to the apothecary and then to buy a cauldron. We used the Floo Network to go home at five. Abigail and I were both exhausted from shopping, but made dinner. Rohit arrived and we ate and talked about our day. My new father had to deal with magical creature transportation across countries. After dinner Abigail brought out a cake with candles.

I blew them out and wished that I'd figure out what the hell was going on. Abigail left for a moment before coming back with an owl on her arm. My mouth dropped open.

"She's a Ural owl." She said to me and it flew from her arm to perch on my chair.

"She's beautiful." I breathed and I reached to pet her. The feathers were incredibly soft. I tried thinking of a name.

"How's Lyra? For her name?" I looked at my parents and Rohit frowned, thinking for a moment.

"The constellation?" He asked.

"Yes, I feel like it suits her." Abigail said.

I got ready for bed and started reading my potions book for a while before turning off the light.

After a week of living in this world. I was introduced to flying. Well, the Alexa from this world had clearly flown a couple of times before, seeing as both of her parents played Quidditch at Hogwarts.

Abigail and I were eating lunch when she asked me,"Alexa, why haven't you been riding your broom this week?"

I choked on my sausage roll.

"Sorry." I coughed out. "I've been a little occupied with my school books." I said shyly and her eyes lit up.

"There we are! That's the Ravenclaw spirit! Your father was telling me that you'd be a Gryffindor, but I don't agree." She laughed.

"Well, we've yet to find out." I shrugged.

Abigail's eyes softened."Oh darling, don't worry. Everyone is nervous before being sorted. I'm sure that whichever house that you are sorted into will be lucky to have you.

"Thank you, mum." I smiled.

I finished my roll before going to find the brooms. I had been exploring our very large home over the week I had been here and vaguely remember finding brooms near one of the backdoors. There were three brooms hung on hooks on the wall. Two of them were Nimbus 1700's and the third was a Cleansweep Seven. The Cleansweep was clearly mine.

I grabbed it and reminded myself to breathe.

"Just take it easy, kick off hard from the ground." I murmured to myself as I went outside.

The backyard was large with a fountain, topiaries, benches, and flower gardens. There were a few unfamiliar smells and I swear to... Merlin? that I saw some pixies flying around. There were also plants growing that I had never seen before, though I'm sure I'd learn about them in Herbology.

I threw my leg over the handle and took a deep breath. I am terrified of heights, but I've always wanted to fly. Flying on a broom was one of the things I wanted to do most when it came to this world, but now that I'm here I'm quite nervous.

I gripped the handle with both hands, and kicked off the ground. I squealed as I shot up four feet and looked in awe for a minute as my feet dangled in the air. I tentatively lifted the handle and made myself rise up more and more until I was maybe 100 feet from the earth.

I could see all of property that belonged to my family, the forest that wasn't too far off, many other homes, and a gazebo nestled in the corner of the yard with a large and very old willow tree next to it.

This isn't so bad, I realized.

That's when I actually started moving around. I sped forward, made turns, threw and dove for a spare galleon that I had in my pocket before catching it in my hand. I soared over my family's property remembering not to stray too far in fear of being seen by muggles. The highest I went was maybe 150 feet before I decided that was high enough and dove forty feet to catch my galleon.

I love it.

The wind in my hair, the feeling I get in my stomach when I dive, and of course, the fact that I'm flying.

Abigail finally called me down for tea, I had apparently been up in the air for almost two hours.

If I didn't make it onto the Quidditch team my second year, I would probably hex someone or cry.

Hey, hey, hey! Wow!

Sorry for not updating this for a long time, I had finals, work, and I've been planning my trip to study abroad in Italy next spring.

I know that this chapter seems rushed, but I really want to get to September 1st.

Fantastic Beasts was AMAZING! I don't want to spoil it (just in case people haven't seen it yet) so I'll leave it at that.

Again, what house do you think Alexa belongs to? Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, or Ravenclaw?

I made Alexa's wand exactly the same as IRL Alexa's from Pottermore.
