Chapter 2: Diagon Alley

There we were inside the Leaky Cauldron.

"Just walk straight through. This place gives me the creeps." Aunt Hermione started shoving us toward the back door. It was a darkly lit pub, and many eccentric magic folk were there. We were hustled through to the back courtyard. There Uncle Ron tapped on the wall in three different places. Suddenly the bricks started rearanging themselves until they formed an archway. We looked through the archway to see a bustling little village with people rushing everywhere.

"Wow." Rosie and I said in synch.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley." Aunt Hermione smiled at our reactions. My mum came behind us and gently shoved us forward into the bustling little village. All around us were sights and sounds we weren't used to. Owls were hooting, people were shouting, and everyone was being jostled all over.

"We have appointments at Madam Malkin's in five minutes. Harry, Ron, George, why don't you go and pick up the trunks and train tickets. We'll take everyone to Malkin's for robe fittings." Aunt Ginny handed out orders quickly. She was a genuine leader.

"Ginny we have other"

"Harry…" Aunt Ginny said in a warning tone.

"Come on boys." George motioned for the others to follow him.

"This way. Come on everyone." Mum gathered everyone and started hearding us to Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions.

"Ah, Hello and welcome to my shop!" said a plump, red faced, short woman wearing an apron full of pins and a tape measure around her neck. We knew at once that she must be Madam Malkin.

"Hello? Mr. Ollivander?" Rosie, James and I crept into the delapedated, miniscule shop.

"Ah yes, the next generation is here for their wands. Let's see, James Potter. Your wand will be Holly, I know that for sure. Hmmm, try this one." Said an eccentric, old gentleman who appeared out of NO WHERE. He handed James a wand. James flicked it and I swear I saw firecrackers come out of his ears.

"Oh yes, good. Dragon heartstring, 13 ¼ inches. Unique. Miss Weasley, yes you lass." He said pointing to Rosie. "Hmmmm, try this one." He said. She waved it and she took out a window, the clattering all over the floor. Now I knew why his shop was delapedated. "Nope, oh dear let's see. Try this." He handed her a birch wand, she waved it and her entire self levitated four feet off the ground. "Very good. Birch with unicorn hair, 12 even inches. The other Miss Weasley, come here lass. You seem different in a way, but I shall figure you out! Try this. He handed me a maple wand. I waved it and it singed the hair off of Mr. Ollivander's head.

"Oh I'm so sorry!"

"Now now lass, try this one." He handed me a shining, piercing green box. I opened it and inside I saw a wand that made me tingle all over. I gently picked up the glowing wand and instantly felt the glow spread through me. I absorbed and became the light. "Oh how excellent!" said Mr. Ollivander snapping me out of my "trance". "It is odd though. Willow wood, veela hair, 10 ½ inches. Yes quite strange. There is something unique about you, and will be someone to keep an eye on." I looked at him funny, paid him for my wand, and left, not knowing that he was very right.

"We only have one stop left. The Magical Menagerie. Roxanne, boys, you may go look around. Katie, here are ten galleons. Get yourself a pet and a few items to take care of it." Said Mum.

"James Sirius Potter, don't you DARE come out of that store with a TOAD or a RAT! DO YOU HERE ME?" said Aunt Ginny. We walked into the Menagerie only to see a gazillion owls all around us. Sounds were coming from everywhere, hooting, yowling, scratching, and croaking. Suddenly, on my shoulder, landed a beautiful snowy owl. She ruffled her feathers and just sat there. As I continued to walk, she continued to sit. By the time we got through the store I had found a loyal companion. Rosie chose a snowy owl, and James chose a great-horned owl, native to the americas, but imported to wizarding Brittain. Once we payed for our owls, we walked outside to find our parents. My owl was still sitting on my shoulder and snuggled up against me. That was when I chose her name.

"Snuggles. Yes Snuggles. Do you like your name?" I said to her.

"Hoooo…" Snuggles hooted and snuggled closer to me.

"I'm definitely naming mine Sugar, I mean, she looks like she was dumped in a bowl of confectionary sugar!" Rosie smiled and I agreed with her.

"Pssha, Mine is Challenger. What? He looks like a challenger." James defended his name when Rosie and I started laughing at it.

"Wow, super name Jim." I said my voice coated in sarcasm.

"Sis, why is your owl on your shoulder?" said Fred as he came running up behind us with different packages in his hands.

"This is Snuggles, Fred. She actually picked me!" I looked up at my brother with pride.

"Cute name sis. It is definitely better than the name I gave my owl. I have no idea where I came up with Mr. Blue. He doesn't even look blue!" Fred wacked himself on the head with the heal of his palm.

"What a cute owl sis! What did you name her?" Roxanne, my dragon obsessed older sister came running up.

"Snuggles is her name Annie."

"You have to come to see Dad's store! I mean you have never been here, come and see!" Roxanne grabbed me by the arm and yanked Rosie and me over to Dad's store.

"Katalina Molly Weasley, Roxanne Lucy Weasley, where have you two been?" said Mum as she charged at us in the middle of Dad's store, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

"Sorry Mum, it's just that Katie and Rosie hadn't seen Dad's store, so I yanked them in here. What's wrong?" I have to admit my sister is very good at getting out of trouble.

"Did you get your owl Katie?" Mum turned her attention to me.

"Yes Mum. This is Snuggles." Now Snuggles was still sitting on my shoulder so Mum was a bit surprised.

"Why don't you have her in her cage?"

"Mum, owls weren't meant to be shut up in cages. They were meant to be free! My owl won't be in her cage unless it is for traveling purposes."

"Well we had better get you and Rosie home." Mum said, and with that we went to find the rest of the family.
