Hey all! Sorry, it's been a week! I just kinda got sidetracked with this thing I'm doing for school. I was really hoping to get the chapters up more frequently, but I'm not sure. Since not many people really read my story, I might just kinda make it a "only when I'm bored" thing. Well.. anyways, rate if you want but I would really like to see reviews! One, if any at all! I just want to know how people are liking the story :)
Well, here we go! Chapter tew. ;D

Ch. 2- To London...soon?

Allie was really nervous about going to London, considering she had never left New York before. She didn't know what to do since she was all packed, so she just sat outside on the porch. She didn't bother with the wobbly chair that was in the corner, so she just sat on the wood. Justin noticed her gloomy mood, and followed her out.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he said sitting down next to her. She was silent for a little bit before she spoke. She seemed to be searching for words.

"Nothing really. I just, feel weird leaving New York. Especially going to another country. I know we used to live there but...this whole thing is just overwhelming. Isn't it? I mean, what about you and your school work? If we're moving to London, you can't do your school work for NYU from there can you?" Allie said, all in one breath. She was so nervous that she forgot to take breaths. Justin noticed that and laughed a little to himself.

"Hey, it'll be fine. The whole college thing was just something for me to do while I figured out what we were going to do. I mean, public school was going to get expensive, and I didn't know how to pay for it. But Hogwarts is a whole 'nother story." Justin reassured her. She sighed a little, maybe from relief, or from all she just said. She didn't know. She smiled, but then she realized something.

"Wait, but wont we have to pay for Hogwarts too? I mean, there has to be some kind of payment. Right?"

"Of course! We have to get your supplies! You have a lot of it too. And I will handle paying for Hogwarts." Justin said, putting his hand on Allie's knee, as a reassuring gesture.

"But, if you couldn't afford normal school, then how do we have the money for a magic school and the supplies?" Allie asked confused. She looked at Justin, who faltered a bit trying to figure out how to put what he was thinking, into words that an 11 year old could understand.

"See, when mom and dad...went away, they left us money. That money is in a bank in London where we will get your supplies." he said, in the simplest way he thought he could.

"But, why didn't you go get the money so we could have it now?" asked Allie, even more confused than before.

"Well, the money was the currency that magical beings use. If I had the chance I would have gotten it exchanged for muggl- I mean normal money, but I didn't know about it until we moved here, to New York after I finished at Hogwarts." Justin explained, with a little more detail.

"Oh, so you didn't know about it until after you didn't have access to it, and you didn't want to hassle going back to London to get it. Right?" Allie said, finally starting to understand it.

"Exactly." Justin said. He was glad she understood it now, and hoped she didn't have any more questions. After all, he's barely an adult and doesn't really understand much of it either. He still doesn't know how to get there or open it once he's there. He decided to just try and wing it, and maybe it'll all work out.

"One more question. I think. How did you find out about the money, if you didn't know until after we got here?" Allie asked. Justin sighed, hoping she had overlooked that question. Regrettably, she hadn't. Justin took a deep breath and started explaining it the best he could.

"Well, I know this sounds weird, but the old lady that watched you while I was at Hogwarts, Mrs. Maxwell, knew all about it. I don't remember exactly how we met, but I was looking for someone like her, once mom and dad left, after they told me that we were all wizards, and you would probably become one too. Then I guess she noticed something one day while we were walking though the streets and asked if we needed a place to stay. I accepted and she zapped us back to her house. I could tell she was a witch, so when she asked, I told her everything after you fell asleep." Justin explained, Allie just continued listening as if she were being told a fairytale story, which is basically what this felt like to her. Justin continued,

"When we moved to New York right after I got out of Hogwarts, like she told me to, she slipped a note into my luggage. I found it when I was unpacking after we got home. She had told me that she was good friends with our parents and that she knew who we were all along. She also told me about the Gringotts bank account and how much money was in it. I don't remember the exact amount, but it was a fairly high amount. She also said that she had spoken to mom and dad, and that they were doing well, but she wouldn't say anything about where they were or anything. The last thing she told me was that she was going to send an owl every year to check on us, and to see if you got your acceptance letter yet. I've only heard from her once since we left, and all she asked was if I got her previous letter and how we were doing. I have no idea where she is now, or anything about her. But, I guess that's pretty much everything." Justin finished. He looked at Allie, concerned about what she might be thinking.

"So mom and dad are still alive?" she asked? Justin mentally sighed with relief that that was the question she had asked. It was really like a rhetorical question, but he answered anyways.

"Yes, Allie. Mom and dad are still alive." Justin almost started saying how he had no way of knowing that for sure, or where they were, but Allie was 11, and she didn't need to worry about that just yet. All she needed was some false truth to get her calmed down a little bit.

"But, d-do you think we might...see them again?" Allie asked hesitantly. She thought there might be some chance to see her parents again, considering Mrs. Maxwell had talked to them.

"Allie, I wish I could say we could, but I have no idea if we ever will or not. Don't get your hopes up Al." Justin said. Allie sunk down a little because she had gotten her hopes up. The only thing she wanted was to see her parents for once. To talk to them. To even, see a picture of them at least.

Allie sighed and went back inside and back up into her room. Justin followed her inside and went into the kitchen and made a sandwich. He couldn't help but think of what it would be like to leave New York. He never really made any friends here or anything, so it's not like he would miss them. The thing he would miss is the simplicity of the city. Nothing was complex about the area that he and his little sister lived in, and that's why he chose it. Moving back to London was what he had wanted to do since the second he step foot in the New York Airport. He had never liked the idea of moving to the United States, but Ms. Maxwell had insisted. She said that it was what was best for Allie, and he couldn't argue with that.

Justin filled a glass full of Kool-Aid and ice, then took a swig. As he drank, Allie walked in and gave him a completely unexpected hug. He swallowed the liquid and hugged her back smiling. "What was that for?" he asked. She just smiled and hugged him again. A few seconds later Allie looked back up at Justin and smiled even bigger.

"I'm just happy that you told me about this. I know you're stressed, and don't want to go, but thanks Justin. I love you." she finally replied. Justin returned that smile and grabbed his sandwich and took a bite.

"Hey, Allie. You hungry?" he asked between bites. Allie nodded her head no, because she had eaten right before she went outside. She couldn't think of anything else to do, since she was all packed, so she just made her way to the living room.

As she walked in, she picked up the remote from the coffee table and flicked on the TV. The television wasn't anything special really. It was no bigger than a microwave, and it wasn't nearly as fancy and shiny as the ones Allie saw in the papers. She flipped though channels quickly, not really paying attention to anything. For a second she was on the news channel but she flipped passed it. Then she realized something caught her eye and she went back to it. There she saw a serious looking man, and at the bottom of the screen was a caption that Allie couldn't believe she was reading. She stared at it for a second, making sure she wasn't being tricked or anything, then she called in Justin.

"Come quick!" She yelled to him. When he walked in, she pointed to the screen, "Look." she whispered.

Welllll, again I'm sorry I didn't get this up as fast as I had wanted to. I've just been busy with tons of family stuff, but I will be sure to get the next chapter up. And HOPEFULLY sooner than this one did :P

Ohh, I have a question guys.. I've been thinking about how I want to take this story. I can't decide if I want all Allie's years at Hogwarts in this one story, or to have a new story for every year at Hogwarts. For now, (or at least until she actually gets to Hogwarts) it's going to be a day-by-day-ish type of thing.

-Now, if I go with the one story for all the years, there will probably be less detail (so I can fit everything into a story), but more exciting things happening.
Ex: Harry and I rushed up the stairs and through a corridor, then we came to a room full of doors and couldn't decide where to go. Harry finally picked a door to our left and lead me though it into another great room. This one however had a very high ceiling and only two doors to go though. Harry opened one and pulled me though it before I had a chance to see anything else in the room. We kept running as fast as we could, through the twists and turns of the castle, until finally we saw a familiar face. ((this is probably a bit less vague than what I would actually write, but hey, it's just an example))

-But, if I do one story for every year, there will most likely be more detail to events, but less of them happening (or not.. it all depends on how the story line goes)
Ex: Harry and I rushed away from our follower and up the moving stairs, not really knowing where we were going. We came to a long hallway with pictures of people in powdered wigs on the walls, which we didn't usually see on the conversational paintings. I didn't pay much attention to it as I led Harry though a door which lead to a room with about fifty different doors of all shapes and sizes. Neither of us knew what do to, so Harry picked a random door to our left and we raced though it.

SO, send me a message with what you think I should do.. or you could leave it in a review. That would be nice ;)
I'm leaning a little towards the 'one story per year' but it could flip. I guess it also depends on how much people read my story...

Woah, this was a little bit of a long authors note, but I needed to get that in there. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and wait for the next one!

PLEASE review as well, I'd be happy to see at least one of them. I'd like to know how people like my story!

3 Thanks :)
