"Lycan! Come on, Mrs Weasley's here to take you to Diagon Alley!" Xenophilius called up the stairs. Lycan came running down to find Mrs Weasley along with Ron, Fred, George and Percy.
"Hi Mrs Weasley. Sorry for keeping you waiting." Lycan apologised.
"Don't worry dear, you're just excited about your first year at Hogwarts; Ron's the same." She replied.
"Bloody hell! You've grown again! Soon you'll be as tall as the twins" Ron said in awe while looking at Lycan.
"Nah, he could" Fred started.
"never be" George said.
"as tall as" Fred said.
"us." They both finished.
"You still do that?" Luna asked as she walked down the stairs "I hoped you'd grow out of it soon. It's very annoying."
The twins burst into laughter. "And you still talk like you're Prefect Percy!" They both said.
"Boys!" Mrs Weasley scolded. "Anyway, we'd better be off. We'll have Lycan home by 2, Xeno. Come on boys, into the floo".

First, they stopped off at Gringotts and took out 20 galleons each, Lycan took an extra 10, just in case.
Next they went to Flourish and Blotts to get the required books, handing 5 galleons over to the cashier.
Then they went to Pottages Cauldron Shop, Scribbulus Writing Instruments, Slug and Jiggers Apothecary, Wiseacres Wizarding Equipment and Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Then Fred and George went to Quality Quidditch Supplies and Mrs Weasley took Ron to Magical Menagerie to get something for his rat Scabbers. Lycan was looking around when a large Snowy Owl caught his eye from outside Eeylops Owl Emporium. It was all white with black specs and large amber eyes. Lycan ran over to the assistant and asked for the beautiful owl. The assistant put a featherweight charm on the cage and took 10 galleons from Lycan. Mrs Weasley came over and relieved him of his owl, telling him that Ron was in Ollivanders waiting for him and that she'd get the boys and wait in Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. Lycan thanked her and made his way into the tall, dark shop ready to get his wand.

Sorry it's been a while, I was on holiday and then had to collect my exam results and had a lot going on. I don't know how many chapters this story will have, but they'll all be about this length. I have also just written a new chapter of Rue's View, so that should be up later today.
