July 15 (later)
We jut got back. Much to late to write my experience, which was excellent. I'll describe it fully as soon as I wake up.
July 16
Well, now for my Adventure. We met up with the group, which consisted of one Witch (who I think was a teacher) and 5 other non-wizard children w/ magic like me (the teacher called us muggle-borns) and everyone's family. Everyone was quite nice except one boy, who a bit snobby. He kept talking about some huge house in the country and how he was a certified math genius. Honestly, who cares? We aren't really going to need math much once we become wizards (hopefully not anyway. math is not my best subject). I think his name was Pearson. that even sounds snobby. But whatever, back to my story. So we went into this pub, which made my Parents gasp and say stuff like "I had no clue this was here". They sounded silly, it has always been there. Then we went through some back door to an alley way. I immediately got a bit worried. What if this all was a scam to lead us back here and then murder us? Oh dear, I could just picture the headlines, "Group of people murdered behind bar. no sign of struggle". Thankfully that wasn't the case. The witch began pressing stones, telling us to remember the order in which she pressed the stones. My mother took notes. Then she stepped back and the Wall spilt open. No joke, it just began to slide open. Behind it were tons of stores and people milling around. I was frozen in shock. I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one. Imagine, I've lived in London my entire life and never even suspected there was a secret shopping center right in the middle. How'd no one notice the lost space. My mother gasped, "It's massive. How has no one noticed this"
"Simple." Replied the witch "Muggles are very self involved and unobservant"
Someone else's mother, probably Pearson's, coldly replied "Not all of us are unobservant. An attitude like that is very ignorant"
"Of course. There are also spells to keep muggles out." The witch said "such as this wall, which has to be opened by someone who has magic in them. So in other words, you could never get in Diagon Alley" she motioned to the shopping center "because you haven't any magic in you. Your child could though. Lets move on. As soon as you all get your money exchanged, you can shop"
"Money changed?" Someone else's father spoke up, "You all have a different currency"
"Of course we have. Now come on"
When we finished with getting money exchanged we were given a supply list and told to enjoy ourselves and that if we needed help just ask another person. Most of them are very nice.
My parents decided to set me up a Bank account at the bank, Gringotts, so I could come back without them if I wanted to. I feel very grown up now. I mean, how many 10 year olds have a bank account? Next we went to get my Robes fitted. My parents just dropped me off and went to explore the rest of Diagon Alley. You won't believe this. When they came back my mom was holding a tiny black kitten for me. "It just seemed so witchy." Se said dismissively as I squealed my approval.
Next we went to get my wand. It was very odd. Lots of silly measurements, such as my nose length... weird. Than we went for my books, and you wouldn't believe this. A celebrity was there doing book signings. Now admittedly, I've never heard of him because he's a magic celebrity but he was dreamy with his beautiful blonde hair and this dazzling smile. He was posing with a very dorky brown-haired boy when I walked in. I felt a bit sorry for the boy. He looked sort of uncomfortable. Plus he had this awful, disfiguring scar on his forehead. We got into the long line to get my Books for one of my classes, apparently the author was that gorgeous guy signing the books. A couple of minutes later there was a fist fight between two old men which was very entertaining. They just starting hitting each other. The fight had started between a group of kids, including the dorky boy, before the adults got involved. My mother tutted unapprovingly as the men were escorted outside. When the day was over I was pooped, pretty obvious in my last entry. Now I have everything I need to get going to school.
A/N: hope you liked it.
