"Wait!" I called out. The tall thin man paused and whispered something to Malfoy who nodded and continued walking into what was apparently "The Leaky Cauldron".

"Young lady." The tall man said

"I didn't catch your name what was it again?" he had this smug look on his face and the way he held his cane bothered me, but I responded anyway,

"I didn't tell you my name and it's Mindy and don't ask me who my parents are because four days after my 1st birthday I was abandoned." Why am I spilling my guts to a complete stranger? I thought to myself, I looked up at him but this time the smug look was gone and replaced with a look of amazement and shock he looked around and then whispered,

"Would you like to know how to get to Hogwarts School of witch craft and wizardry?" I looked around and whispered back,

"That would be nice." He smiled and threw his cane up in the air and caught it again.

"Well just stick with Malfoy then and he will show you the ropes to being a successful witch or in his case wizard." He started to walk and then turned and ushered me to follow I did he kind of gave me the creeps though. It was as if I had seen him somewhere before but I didn't know where.

We passed through the doors of "The Leaky Cauldron" when the man passed through the doors there were only whispers and stares at him and then at me but mostly at him.

"Um, well I don't mean to pry but exactly who are you?" he looked at me and stopped walking he thought for a moment and then said,

"I am many things my dear but, my name is Luscious Malfoy father of Draco Malfoy and husband of Narcissa Black and we are one of the richest families in the wizarding world." at the end it was more like he was lecturing me than him answering simple question I decided that it was smart to keep my eyes and ears open and my mouth shut.

We walked through the building until we came out the back of it. There was a tall old brick wall and sitting on the ground in front of it was Draco he looked at his father and the boy I had met was gone. Replaced by this…this spoiled little git I didn't like it I didn't like it one bit. Luscious Malfoy pushed his son out of the way and lifted his cane up to the one broken brick. Out three up five he taped the brick and repeated three more times. At first nothing happened.

That's it that's the secret to being a wizard, tapping things in a pattern multiple times? If that's all you do then I'll go live with the hicks thank you very much. I thought to myself and then slowly started to back away hoping they didn't see me making my escape. I was about halfway to the door when I head the sound of a rock being grinded against sidewalk oh how I hated that noise I whipped around to see the bricks quickly rearranging themselves into an arch. I fell backwards mouth open I tried to fid words but I was just too shocked. Draco looked at me a sly smirk crossed his pail face and he pointed to the path.

"Diagon Ally." He said smugly like I don't know anything. Like I'm a child. I got my self up off the ground and dusted the dirt off of my butt and made sure I had all of my things and started walking.

"Right to diagonally." I said in a bright triumphant tone I felt like I had accomplished something that day. Draco and Luscious looked at each other but Draco laughed.

"It's not diagonally its Diagon Ally."

"Yea that's what I said, now how do I get to Gringots?" Draco who was all ready half way down the street yelled back,

"Don't worry you'll fid it it's the largest building here just ask for directions." And with that his pale figure vanished into the dark crowd of people.

"Oh, and thank…" but Luscious was already gone as well. I held the paper in one hand and my bag of clothes in the other I hoisted it up onto my shoulder and walked through the door. There were people of all sorts running back and forth from shop to shop. There was a pet store, candy shop, book, and toy; clothing, wands, robes and trunk shops from A to Z Diagonally had it all.

"Now if only I could find Gringots." I mumbled to myself. Someone tapped my shoulder I whipped around doing my best karate pose it was a girl with wavy blond hair and soft calm blue eyes.

"Excuse me "she said in a sweet voice "but I couldn't help but notice you standing there and you seemed lost do you need any help?"

I stared blankly at her trying to remember how to talk,

"Uhm yea, could you show me the way to Gringots you see I just found out that I am a witch like three hours ago so."

"Gringots oh you mean the bank yea that's where I'm going. Oh my name is Luna Lovegood."

"Mindy, don't have a last name."

"Well Mindy Donthavalastname its nice to meat you."

Wandered the streets for at least an hour until we came to a towering grey structure with the name "Gringots" in big bold letters. Luna turned to me and said "Well Mindy Donthavalastname it seems we must part but before I go I have to warn you there are loads of Wrackspurts around these parts so be carful. Goodbye." She smiled, waved and walked away.

What was up with her, no matter and what the heck is a wackspit or whatever an. Lets get back on track. I looked down at the sheet of paper that read: Please take care of Mindy, Volt# 2012 Gringots bank. Then back up at the looming distorted building I took a deep breath and headed in. For a moment I thought my vision was just distorted but slowly I came to the reality that there were ugly little people walking around. It was disgusting sharp teeth long noses they looked like ferrets with 2 legs and no fur. I slowly walked up to the counter and said in my most polite voice,

"Uhm, excuse me can you give me the key to volt #2012 under the name Mindy please." The room got silent the ugly creatures stopped what they were doing and looked at me. A very larger, very mean looking thing leaned over the counter and asked in an old wrinkly voice,

"Well do you have the key?" I stared at him blankly what key all I have is a slip of paper and a blanket…does he need the blanket?

"Oh" I said trying to act nonchalant "Do you mean this?" I unzipped my bag and held up the black blanket. The creature reached its skinny arm over the counter and with its spindly-clawed fingers grasped the blanket. He stared at it for a moment and then felt around.

"Ah!" he said in an unsurprised voice "there it is" He took the blanket where he was holding it and put it in his mouth and ripped it.

"Hey!" I yelled he flipped the blanket upside down over his large hands a small silver key fell into his palm.

"Got'ch ya" he said as if speaking directly to they key. "He held the blanket out and another creature walked up the large one said, "Please have this repaired. Mindy apparently has sentimental feelings for it." And he dropped it like a dirty diaper.

Then he reverted his attention back to me he looked me up and down.

"Come with me he said." He walked out from behind the counter he was sort of short and demonic looking we walked down a long dark hallway until we reached a cage like platform. I shrugged and followed him on he waddled over to this panel and typed in some numbers. As soon as he pressed the final key the platform started moving, it moved so fast we jolted around corners went up and down floors. I thought I was going to hurl then it stopped I flew forward and fell to my knees.

The creature smiled sharp rust colored smile,

"Right this way please." I found my footing and walked towards him wobbling a little bit still in shock. He looked at me ant then at the door number.

"Volt #2012."He stated and then walked forward and stuck is finger to the door tracing lines I didn't bother keeping up I just stood there like an air head thinking about what the little thing was. A dwarf, gnome, elf, no, no, no a goblin… yea that's what he is a goblin. I came back to earth the goblin was staring at me looking annoyed. He ushered towards the door. I looked in there were bags everywhere money and gems bags of it covering the floor. My eye twitched, I looked at the goblin.

"How much should I take?" I asked myself allowed,

The goblin replied, " I would take about 2,182 Galloons, 11 Sickles, and 14 Knots, but I would bring extra for quiditch gear, a pet, candy, or food. All together I would bring about 2224 Galloons, 11 Sickles, and 14 Knots."

I stared at him blankly Sickles…Knots can we convert this to real money and should I just grab a bag or what that's what I'm doing. I walked over grabbed a bag it was heavy really heavy.

"Uhm you know you can just charge it right…" he looked at me like I was crazy while he said this.

"Right, I will do that but let me just" I grabbed a handful of the silver and gold coins and shoved them in my pocket.

"Just in case." I winked and smiled he stared at me like I had a big zit on my forehead.

He grimaced shrugged and then ushered towards the door we walked out to the freaky moving platform in the cold wet corridor. We got back to the main room the large goblin was leaning over the counter with my neatly folded black blanket sitting under his chest. He opened his mouth full of sharp yellow teeth, "how much do you need?" he asked looking bored and a little agitated.

"2224 Galloons 11 Sickles and 14 knots." I said brightly. He looked at me amazed. Like I couldn't possibly have that much money. He looked me up and down and finally said,

"Hold out your arm please." I did s the goblin told me. He turned it around a couple of times and felt my wrist until he stopped on a point.

"Aha so there you are," he said amused and somewhat surprised. He pulled out this stick and said some words that didn't make sense to me any way but apparently the stick responds to nonsense. A pinkish lightning came out of the tip of the stick and made my arm burn. I tried to pull away but the goblin had a tight grip on my wrist. He continued to chant the words over and over again. Until he released my arm and the burning stopped I looked on my wrist the initials GWB were now tattooed on my skin. I rubbed my scar and grabbed my blanket, shoved it in my bag and thanked them for there time. I left there as fast as I could. I walked up to a bench and sat down next to a kid with bright red hair and freckles he was eating what looked like jelly beans. I pulled out my envelope and found the list:

First year students will require:
Three sets of plain works robes (black)
One plain pointed hat (black) for day wear
One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide or similar)
One winter cloak (black, silver fastenings)

The boy leaned over and looked at my paper,

"You need to go to madam Mulkins for the first things." He said in between bites.

"Thanks, witch way do I go?" I looked around puzzled there were signs going in every which way. He stood up and laughed,

"My names Ron, Ron Weasly." He said extending his sticky hand. I grabbed his hand and grimaced, it was like holding hands with a toddler on Halloween wet and sticky.

"Pleasure." I said as I pulled my hand away and wiped it on my pants.

"Ok lets go this way… I'm sorry I didn't quite catch your name."

"It's Mindy, just Mindy."

"Ok, Mindy lets go." We started off. It felt like an eternity, you see his presence bothered me his voice his smell the way he looked it bothered me. I was in a daydream when I heard my name.

"Mindy. Mindy? Time to come back down here to earth." I cringed his voice so, annoying.

"I'm here." I said a bit startled he laughed and gestured towards the store.

"I present to you Madam Mulkin's." I gave him my best fake smile and then said in my sweetest voice possible,

"Thank you Ron I guess I will be seeing you at Hogwarts then." He nodded and then turned away. My smile faded into disgust. Filthy creature that boy is, un-disserving of my kindness. I turned to walk in the store when Malfoy walked out fuming.

"Hey" I said cheerfully he blushed and waved shyly.

"So did you get fitted for robes?"

"Yea, but I ran into this real moron Potter."

"Potter?" I asked confused.

"Oh yea you grew up in the muggle world didn't you. Well there used to be this dark lord we call him you know who and he went to go convince potter's parents to join him. They refused and so he used one of the forbidden curses on them the killing one, but some how potter lived and ended up killing the dark lord. I don't think he killed him just weakened him that's all."

"That's stupid why didn't they join him there was two benefits to that. One they wouldn't have died and two they could have more power I mean the choice is kind of obvious.

"I know that's what I said." We stared at each other it was a long awkward silence before I finally said,

" I better go get fitted I still have a lot of shopping to do."

"Oh… yea, yea me to." He said looking kind of disappointed. I smiled, I felt bad that I had to leave him here,

"Hey would you wait for me I could go get my wand you could show me around." I gave a half smile. He perked up, grabbed my arm and practically threw me into the shop. I stumbled and ran into the tallest man I had ever seen. He had a long scruffy black beard and a dirty brown trench coat.

"I got ya a present he said to someone standing next to him."

"Sorry." I said quietly and ran up to the desk.

A large grey haired woman walked up to the desk.

"And what can I do for you today?" she said in a rosy voice.

"Uhm, I need two I mean three dress robes, a hat, some dragon hide gloves, and a winter cloak." She looked at me and then around the room.

"Young lady were are your parents or guardian?" I must have gotten that look on my face that I always get when anyone mentions family, because she sighed and said,

"Come this way, what's your name?" I looked back to see Malfoy sitting on one of the benches with a scowl on his face I smirked and thought to myself, is this what he's always like? I shook my head and laughed. Madam Mulkin sat me down in a chair and grabbed the measuring tape from around her neck and put it around my head. I pretty much spaced out the rest of the time until she said,

"Excuse me young miss, you are done. Please follow mw to the front desk." I did as I was told and followed.

"That will be 446 Galloons and 16 Sickles." I looked at her, oh she means money I give her my arm with the tattoo and she pulls out her wand and utters some gibberish. I flinched when the lightning came out of the tip of the stick, but it didn't burn it was more of a cooling sensation than anything else. I felt breathing down my neck. She put the stick down and smiled,

"Okay were all set thank you Mindy. Come again." I turned around to find Draco standing there eagerly waiting like a loyal dog. I laughed and grabbed his hand we rushed out the door he led me down the street and around corners. Until, we got to Olivander's.

"I'm pretty sure this was the wand shop." Draco turned to me and said exhausted and he had a right to sound exhausted we ran like 10 blocks without stopping. We opened the door and a bell rang loud and clear in my ear. A perky old man popped up from behind the counter. I jumped surprised he jogged over to us,

"Oh are you two young wizards looking to get your first wands?" I nodded and Draco stepped in and said,

"I already have a wand my friend Mindy needs one though." He pointed to me as he explained this. The man I expected to be Olivander was staring at me looking me up and down, and it was kind of creeping me out.

"Alright then young man I need you to step out side." I looked at Draco scared and confused pleading with my eyes for him not to go. He mouthed the words "I'm sorry." And walked outside the shop and sat down. Olivander continued to study me it made me uncomfortable.

"I have just the wand for you." I watched him as he shuffled over to the rows of shelves holding papers and boxes. He scanned the shelves and then walked over to one pulling out a box old and dusty he blew the dust off. Olivander pulled out the stick, silver handle and black swirls going all around. He handed it to me and ducked for cover behind the counter.

"Just flick it" his voice muffled by the thick carpet.

I flicked the wand and a green mist shot out of it and like a serpent wrapped it's self around my body. Then it suddenly vanished without a trace. I saw Olivander's eyes appear from behind the counter.

"Your still alive!" he sounded shocked.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked annoyed

"Well… it's just that, that wand belonged to Salazar Slytherin himself and when ever I try to sell it, no when ever someone picks it up they burst into flames that can't be doused with water." He looked at his feet. I looked at him disgusted that he would even try to sell me such wand.

"But you, your special somehow. Somehow the wand accepted you very curious. Just take the thing no payment necessary I doubt anyone will ever be able to buy that wand so just take it."

I smirked and pointed the wand at him,

"Thank you my good sir now if you could point," I flicked my wand slightly and he flinched,

"me in the direction of the book store." He slowly stood up and opened his mouth,

"Flourish and Bolts is where you want to go they have all the books you will need there. Now please leave an old man alone." I paraded out of the store my silver wand in hand and grabbed my bag of new robes from Draco. He had a ghoulish smile on his face he had been watching the whole time.

"Draco, tell me more about this Hogwarts."

"There are four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin."

"And which house is the best to be in?" I asked becoming more intrigued.

"The best house I would have to say would be," I looked at my wand and grabbed my hand.

"Bloody hell where did you get that!" he was freaking out.

"Olivander's" I said proudly

"That must of cost you a bloody fortune."

"Nope not a penny...oh I mean knot. Olivander gave it to me absolutely no cost."

"Nice, do you want to go look at brooms with me really quick?" Shrugged my shoulders and walked across the street. The moment we walked through the doors Draco's jerky act came out.

"Hey you clerk what's your newest module?" he asked in a snooty voice nose held high.

"That would be the Nimbus 2001." The clerk said looking surprised to see us.

"You know that people that haven't had at least one year of training aren't aloud to fly a broom." The clerk popped his gum.

"Do you know who I am?" Draco fumed

"I am Draco Malfoy son of Luscious Malfoy we have enough power to put you and everyone who shops here out of a job and on the streets."

The clerk stepped back shocked and said,

"That will be 1036 Galloons." Malfoy smirked and held out his arm. The man pulled out his wand and the lightning bolt came out.

"Thank you for shopping come again." The color drained from the clerks face and he looked like a zombie. Draco Malfoy is evil and I like it.
