Chapter 3: The Journey To Hogwarts

Lucy's pov

Jack pulled up to The Leaky Cauldron.

Bran and I got out of the car and we walked into it.

Bran didn't say anything as we make our way to Tom.

"Lucy! How are you?"

He said as he came around the bar.

"I'm fine Tom. How about you?"

I said to him.

He looked at Bran.

"I'm fine Lucy. Who is your friend?"

Tom said with a smile.

"He is a friend of the family from the states. He is here to take me shopping for my school stuff."

I said back with a smile.

"Oh! You are the one Jean wrote me about. I'm Tom the caretaker of The Leaky Cauldron."

Tom said as he held his hand out.

Bran smiled and shook his hand.

"I'm Bran nice to meet you Tom."

Bran said with a smile back.

"Let me take you to the back so you can do your shopping."

Tom said as we walked to the back of the pub.

Then Tom pulled out his wand and started to tap the bricks.

They started to move and made a arch way.

I could smell the shock coming off of Bran.

Then we walked threw it.

"There isn't a lot of people out."

Bran said softly.

"Its still early and they have to get their kids up feed them and get them ready. I wanted to get here just as the bank opens so we can get this done and get back to sleep."

I said as I rubbed my eyes.

"Ok lead the way Lucy."

Bran said to me.

I smiled as I started to walk down the street.

I only been here a few times in my life.

But I knew where every thing is.

"You have the key right?"

I asked.

"Yes don't worry Lucy."

He said with a smile.

Then we came to the bank.

"Wow! !"

Bran said as we walked up the stairs.

There was two goblins out side.

They watched us as we walked into the building.

Bran moved closer to me and out his hand on my shoulders.

"Its ok Bran they run the bank."

I said softly.

"Ok Lucy I trust you."

Bran said as we walked to the nearest goblin.

"Do you have your key?"

The goblin said as he held out his hand.

Bran pulled out the key and gave it to him.

He looked at it.

"Lucy BloodMoon. You parents made you your own vault. Come with me and I will take you to your vault."

He said.

I pulled Bran with me.

We went threw a door into a stone way.

The cart came and we got in.

When it took off Bran put his arms around me.

I couldn't see his face.

So I don't know if he was scared for him self or for me.

It took everything I had to not laugh.

We were going down deeper and deeper.

Then we came to a stop and got out.

Bran didn't say anything but I heard a very low growl come from his throat.

I put my hand into his and he started to calm down.

When the door opened there was huge piles of Galleons, Sickles and Knuts.

I filled my bag with all three of them.

As I was felling them in the back of the room there was gems and other stuff there. I shook my head as I walked out of the vault.

Once we were back out side Bran looked better.

"Sorry about that. I should have told you."

I said feeling bad.

"No its ok its just I don't like the smell of them."

Bran said as I stopped and pulled out a piece of parchment.

"What are you doing?"

Bran asked me.

"Looking what I need for school."

I said as is I read the parchment.

"Ok since most of the shops are opened lets start with my robes."

I said as we started to walk to Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions.

Bran sat down while I got my robes fitted.

It didn't take long to get my robes, hat, gloves and winter cloak.

"Are these gloves really made out of dragon?"

Bran asked me.

"Yes they are. We use dragon for a lot of things. There is a book about it."

I said as we went to get my wand.

"Ollivanders is the best wand maker."

I said to Bran as we walked to Ollivanders wand shop.

Bran didn't say anything.

He was just watching the other witches and wizards walking past.

I could tell he was on guard.

We got into Ollivanders and rang the bell.

It was quiet then a soft voice spoke making me and Bran jump and growl softly.

"I was wondering when I would see you in here Miss BloodMoon."

Ollivander said as he came out from the back.

His white eyes was looking at me with a smile in them.

Bran had his hand on my hip when he spoke.

"I remember when your mother and father came in here for they wands."

He said with a smile as he came around with a measuring tape.

Then he started to measure my arms and how tall I was.

When he was done he went back around and started to pull done boxes.

Ollivander gave me the first wand.

"Holly with the cord of dragon heart string 7 1/3 inch snappy good for charms." He said with a smile.

I took it and I didn't know what to do.

"Wave it my dear wave it."

Ollivander with a smile.

I waved it and fire came out of it.

Ollivander moved out of the way just in time.

Bran moved me back with him.

"No I don't think so."

Ollivander said as he took back the wand and gave me a knew one.

It took me a hour for my wand to chose me.

Ollivander told Bran that the wand chooses the wizard or witch.

We don't choose the wand.

My wand is Hazel with the cord of a Pegasus Feather 13 inches strong and good with hexes.

Ollivander said that Pegasus's wands are rare now of days.

I got his last one and he thought he would never find it a home.

I was smiling a lot and I heard Bran's stomach start to growl.

"Let me by you some lunch."

I said as I pulled him to one of the cafes.

"Thank you Lucy."

Bran said as we finished eating.

"I want some ice cream now."

I said as we stopped in front of Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor.

"Lets get some."

Bran said as he opened the door for me.

We sat down with our ice cream and looked the list.

"I still need my books and I want to get a pet."

I said.

Bran looked at me.

"Can you take a pet to school?"

Bran asked me.

I was licking my vanilla ice cream.

"Yes we can. We can bring a cat, toad, rat or owl."

I said.

"Why a owl?"

Bran asked me.

"That's how we send letters to people. That's our way for talking to people. Like how muggles use the phone to talk."

I said and Bran looked at me.

"So you can send me letter across the sea?"

He asked me.

I looked at him.

"I really don't know Bran but I can see and get back to you."

I said as I finished up my ice cream.

He nodded his head and then we got up and headed to Flourish and Blotts to get my books.

As we walked around the book store Bran would pull down a book read a few pages then would put it back and do the same thing again.

I smiled at him as I finished getting my last book.

Bran was reading a book about our history.

It was a huge book.

"Bran I'm paid for my book."

I said to him.

"Hmm."

He said as he looked up.

I pulled the book out of his hands.

Bran growled a little as I waked up to the front.

"I want to by this book too."

I said to the man.

"That will be 10 Galleon and 3 Knuts."

He said and I pulled out the coins and gave it to him.

"Have a nice day Ma'ma."

He said as we left the shop.

"Here you go Bran."

I said as I gave him the book.

"You didn't have to by me this."

He said as he took the book from me.

"You look like you were getting into the book. Since you know there is two kinds of witches. I thought you would like to see what we do and learn."

I said as I started to walk to the Magical Menagerie.

When we walked in the cats hissed at us when we got to close.

"Guess a cat is out."

I said.

But they were the only ones that didn't like us.

"What are you looking for my dear?"

The lady said to us.

"I don't know. I'm just looking around."

I said and she smiled.

"Will I got some eggs and I don't know what they are. I'm selling them for 5 Galleons each."

She said as we followed her to the front of the shop.

There was 20 different colored eggs.

I saw one that looked like fire.

"Do you know what they are?"

Bran asked her.

She looked a little scared of him.

"Bran be nice. I want the fire one."

I said and she smiled at me.

There was something about that egg that was calling to me.

I gave her the 5 galleons and she gave me the egg.

It was hot but not hot, hot that you would drop it.

As we left Bran looked mad.

"Whats wrong?"

I said to him.

"Why would you buy something you don't know what it is?"

He growled as we waited for Jack to come and pick us up.

I had the egg in my cloak pocked.

"I think I know what it is. But I'm not going to say anything till it hatches."

I said with a smile.

As I put my hand on it.

It was big but it still fits in my pocked.

"How do you know it will hatch?"

Bran said.

I smiled at him.

"Its hot and I can feel something in side."

I said as I saw Jacks car coming down the street.

"Ok Lucy will you tell me what it is when it hatches?"

Bran said with a smile.

"Yes I will."

I said as I got into the back of the car.

It's the first of September.

Today I will be going to Hogwarts.

It was early when I got up.

Cause Bran is leaving today and I wanted to say bye.

I put on my cloak and headed out of the house.

I take the fire egg with me where ever I go.

The wind was blowing cold air I would have been cold but the egg was keeping me warm as I kept it warm.

I jogged over to Jack's house.

Every one was there and I knocked on the door.

"Lucy why are you here for early for?"

Jack said with a smile.

"Bran is leaving to day and so am I.

I wanted to say bye to every one before I head to school."

I said as he let me in.

Bran and some of the pack was in the kitchen eating.

"So you to are leaving Lucy? When are you coming back?"

Jenny said to me.

"I be back in the summer. I would come back for the holidays but my parents said they are going traveling while I'm at school. They don't know when they are coming back. So I'm going to be at the school."

I said.

Jack looked at me and pulled out a piece of parchment and wrote something down. "Lucy here's my number so if you need a ride or anything give me a call."

Jack said as he gave me the parchment.

"Thank you Jack but I don't know how to use a phone or have any muggle money."

I said to them.

Jack smiled at little.

"Before you leave let me show you how to use a phone and how to use our kind of money."

Jack said.

Then he showed me how to use the phone right and not to yell.

Then showed me how to use their money on a pay phone.

"Thanks Jack but I better get going. My parents will be getting up soon. So I better be home so they can take me to Kings Cross."

I said as I left the room.

As I walked out of the house Bran came out with me.

"Lucy wait."

He said and I turned around to look at him.

"Yes Bran?"

I said as I rubbed my cold hands together.

He had a package in his hands.

"I wanted to get you something since you got me that book."

Bran said with a smile and gave me that package.

"You didn't have to get me anything."

I said as I slowly opened it.

"I know I didn't but I thought you might like this it will keep you warm during the winter."

Bran said as I pulled out a black fur cloak.

It was real fur and it looked like it was really made well.

"Thank you Bran. But this must have been a lot of money."

I said as I run my hand threw the soft silky fur.

"Don't worry about it. I have a lot of money beside Leah like to spend it more then I do. So I thought you would like something to remind you of me. Cause I don't know when we will see each other again."

Bran said then kissed my forehead and then want back inside the house.

My face was red all the way back to the house.

It wasn't long till my parents was up and ready to leave after we ate.

My trunk was heavy but I didn't have trouble getting it down from my room.

I packed the black fur cloak in my trunk.

On the way to Kings Cross my mind was on Bran and I don't know why I was missing him so much.

"Baby girl we are here."

Daddy said.

We got the cart and headed for the train.

"Don't be scared just run at it."

Mom said when we got to the barrier.

I nodded my head then took a deep breath.

Then I ran my cart to the barrier and went threw it.

On the other side there was familys seeing off their kids.

My parents was behind me and we found a compartment.

I put my trunk in it then said my good-byes to my family.

But there was something wrong but I don't know what it was.

I was hanging out of the window talking to them.

Then it was time to get going.

"I love you two and have fun on your travels and I will see you in the summer."

I said.

"We love you too baby girl. Be careful and stay safe."

Daddy and mommy said.

There was sadness in their voice.

I watched them fad away.

I put my head back in and pulled up my knees.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Came at the door.

It opened and a red head girl pocked her head in.

"Sorry to bother you. Can we sit with you every were else is full?"

She said and there was a greasy hair boy behind her.

"Sure. Let me help you with your trunks."

I said as I got up and helped them put their trunk up.

"Wow your real strong."

The red head said.

"Thanks. I'm Lucy, Lucy BloodMoon."

I said to them.

"I'm Lily Evens and this is Severus Snape."

Lily said as they sat down.

"Its nice to meet you two."

I said.

No One's pov

Severus talked about how great Slytherin is.

Lily was listening and smiling.

But Lucy was not liking this at all.

Slytherin isn't a good house.

It turns out more dark wizards then any other house.

Lily is muggle born and she didn't know a lot.

"I hope you get in to Slytherin."

He said to her.

I rolled my eyes and I guess Lily saw me.

"Whats wrong Lucy?"

Lily said.

"If I was in Slytherin I would drop out of the school."

I said.

"Why would you?"

Lily said to me.

"I know your muggle born and don't know a lot about the school house. But Slytherin turns out more dark wizards then any of the other houses."

I said.

Severus looked pissed.

"That's not true Lily don't listen to her."

He said.

"But is it true Severus?"

Lily said as she looked at her friend.

But Severus didn't say anything.

"I don't care if you two get in Slytherin. But I rather be in Gryffindor. Now that is a great house."

Lucy said as she looked out of the window.

Severus wanted to hex Lucy but didn't want to up set Lily.

"Why is Gryffindor better then Slytherin?"

Lily asked Lucy.

Lucy smiled as she looked back at Lily.

"A lot of great witches and wizards come from Gryffindor. The headmaster was in Gryffindor for one. My parents was in Gryffindor they are know for the study for the magical creatures. They been up dating the books for them. They are on travel right now to up date some more."

Lucy said and Severus looked at me.

"Your parents are Jean and Mary BloodMoon?"

Severus asked her.

"Yes they are."

Lucy said.

"You're a blood traitor."

Severus said to Lucy.

"Only a dark wizard would say something like that."

Lucy said in a low voice.

Severus turned a ugly red color.

He didn't say anything.

So did Lily.

Then the lunch trolley came and They were getting some lunch.

Lucy was the last one to go up and get some food.

Then a boy with warm gray eyes and short black hair run up to by some more chocolate frogs.

He and Lucy stared at each other.

"You have some wicked eyes."

He boy said before he turned and ran back down the train.

Lucy's face was red when she got back into the compartment.

"Why is your face so red Lucy?"

Lily said with a smile.

Lucy shook her head and started to eat her food.

"He said something to you. What did he say?"

Lily said.

"He said I have some wicked eyes."

Lucy said in a low voice.

"You do have some different kind of eyes."

Lily said with a smile.

I smiled back and started to eat again.

The sky was starting to get dark and it started to rain.

"We better get into our robes on. I think we should be pulling up soon."

Lily said and they got up and started to look for their robes.

Once they had them on they train started to slow down.

Sirius's pov

When I got on the train I was sitting in the compartment alone.

Then three boys came in and we started to talk and become friends.

The lunch trolley came and I didn't get enough chocolate frogs.

The trolley was at the end of the train.

I ran down the train and a girl came out of the right compartment.

Her hair is a dark deep red.

But when she looked at me her eyes was mix match.

One bright blue eye and the other one is a bright green.

I couldn't stop my self of saying.

"You have some wicked eyes."

I said and before she could say anything I took my frogs and ran back to my compartment.

"What took you so long Sirius?"

James asked me.

"Sorry mate but a girl was in front of me."

I said.

Peter giggled softly and Remus looked up from his book.

"Did you get her name?"

James said with a smile.

I rolled my eyes at him.

"No James I didn't."

I said.

They just made fun of me as we ate and talked more.

Then we put our robes on then the train started to slow down.
