Chapter 2

Lily

Her mind was filled with excited thoughts about going to Hogwarts. She would get to meet more people,and stay with those she already knew at the same time. She followed her mother to Ollivander's wand shop. Lily liked Mr. Ollivander, he was kind and knew what he was doing.

When they got there, Lily and Hugo smiled bigger than ever. Fred just stood there, as if he were thinking of how to prank someone, that was his thing. Lily's mum said that 'He took after his name's sake' just like James.

James was okay, though he was always wondering how the world saw him. And Lily hated that. His full name was James Sirius Potter, he had messy black hair with dark brown eyes and he was always getting into trouble. Like Fred, he liked to mess with people, but he had this habit of messing with the wrong people and when Albus wrote her he would tell her that James was often in the hospital wing and not to tell mum.

Lily never did, She was a better sister than James often gave her credit for. Albus was kind to Lily. When they were little Al, Rose, Fred, Lily, and Hugo played together. While James played with Roxy. Al was a better brother than he gave himself credit for. He did everything he could to help and was always worrying about others. Albus was going to be a third year this year. His full name was Albus Severus Potter, but he want by Al. He had tidy black and green eyes like their dads as well as some freckles. Al passed all of his classes with flying colors. Everyone said he was kind of like aunt Hermione when she went to school.

Along with Rose, who was extremely smart. She had red frizzy hair and blue eyes, Rose was really nice to Al and she was a third year just like him. She was always in the middle of a book. And she was always serious, but if you needed help she was always there.

Hugo on the other hand was always having fun. He had tidy red-brown hair and blue eyes. His face had only a few freckles. Hugo was shy around people he didn't know, but once he opened up to you he was one of the best friends you could have. He was very smart, often saying things that confused people. He was also very funny. And he was very protective of his friends and family.

Lily, Hugo, and Fred walked into the shop and there was Mr. Ollivander, who was sitting at his large desk in front of the wands. There must have been thousands of them and it amazed Lily every time she want in, he smiled knowingly. Lily and Hugo ran past Lily's mother strait to the old man, she smiled and said "It's wand time."

He smiled and in response "Are you sure miss Lily? Last time you saw me you ware only, What six?"

Lily frowned "I was nine and now I'm eleven! That means I get to go to Hogwarts this year and I get a wand."

Mr Ollivander looked surprised "Do you now?"

Hugo cut Lily off before she sould say more. "We can't very well got to Hogwarts with out one."

"You have a point there, I guess I'll let you get a wand." Lily squealed in delight. Mr Ollivander got up and grabbed a few boxes "Okay, one at a time." he said and of coarse Lily was the first on up. He handed her the first wand and it didn't do anything. After about four other wands, the one in Lily's hand sent yellow sparks to the roof of the building "Well how interesting it's noting like James' or Albus' yours my dear is made Of mangrove with a dragon heartstring core." It was eleven inches long and reasonably springy thought was somewhat darkly colored and ornately carved . Lily squealed again, Mr. Ollivander laughed "This is why I haven't retired yet." he mused.

Hugo was next up Mr. Ollivander looked at him questioningly "You're Rose Weasly's brother aren't you?" he nodded. "Sycamore, core of kirin hair, thirteen and one quarter inches long, swishy, lightly colored, and roughly carved. I remember her quite well." After a few minutes he got his wand it was elderberry wood and had a core of phoenix feather. It was nine and three quarter inches long and unyielding, very darkly colored and roughly carved.

Next was Fred Mr. Ollivander laughed and said "I remember your father and his brother. Fred and George. Both so troublesome, but quite funny. Tell your father I said hello." Fred got his wand almost immediately it was aspen and had a core of amphisbaena hide. It was eight inches long and swishy, darkly colored and ornately carved.

As they left Mr. Ollivander's store they saw a brand new shop full of odd animals. There were purple dogs, orange mini-unicorns, green bat, it was amazing. Lily turned to her mother and pleaded. "Please mum, can we get a pet? Pretty, pretty please?" her Mum looked at the shop then nodded that they could. They all ran in and started looking after about an hour they came out Lily had a cream and brown male weasel with the ability to breathe fire. He had a forehead marking in the shape of a moon. Hugo had a large red and pastel green male squirrel with the ability to look deceptively adorable. And Fred had an average-sized dusty orange male chipmunk with the ability to look really frightening.

When they found James and the others they had all of there school supplies and something extra. James had a red and white male monkey, Albus had a small brown male penguin with the ability to talk, Rose had an average-sized azure male penguin with the ability to look really adorable, and Roxanne had a mini light brown male bear. Lily's mother shook her head and laughed. Then they went home.
