Chapter 3: School Shopping.

POV: Remus

It was now August 18th and I was going to Diagon Alley with my father to get my school stuff. I had to get several books, some robes, a cauldron, a basic potion set and scales. And of course a wand. Dad said he was going to get my books, cauldron, and potion stuff, while I got some robes and my wand he handing me a few galleons, and knuts. He didn't give me any sliver sickles because sliver burns werewolves really bad. When I walked into the robe shop the owner of the shop was helping someone. This boy was blonde and had a pointed face. He was several years older than me, maybe going into his fifth year, because there was a prefect badge on the robes.

"I'll be right with you," she said to me.

"Hogwarts too?" the boy asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"Well my family has been going to Hogwarts forever. I am in Slytherin. My entire family as been in that house. I am Lucius Malfoy by the way." The boy said proudly, rarely stopping for a breath.

"Um, I am Remus Lupin." I said, not know what else to say.

"Where are you hoping to end up?" Lucius said.

"Um," I said yet again.

"You are done now." said the lady fitting Lucius' robes.

"Well I guess I will see you around." Lucius said paying the woman.

I was in and out of the robe shop in fifteen minutes. Now was time to go to Ollivander's wand shop to but my wand.

When I walked in my jaw dropped the whole place was lined with shelves that was lined with what I supposed cases with wands.

"Mr. Ollivander?" I called.

A man walked out of the back room and spotted me.

"Ah, who might you be?" Mr. Ollivander said.

"Remus Lupin." I said holding out my hand for him to shake, but he took out a strange tape measure and started measuring different parts of my arm then other body parts.

After he was done, he pulled a wand off the shelf and put it in my hand.

"Give that a wave, ash, with dragon heartstring core, eleven inches, nice and sturdy." Mr. Ollivander said. I did and something in the back room exploded.

"No." Mr. Ollivander said and took the wand out of his hand. He gave me another wand and put it in my hand. "Try that one. Cypress wood with an unicorn tail hair, ten and three-quarter inches strong."

I gave the wand a wave and the wand sputtered out some purple and sliver sparks.

"Good, good, I think that wand will work great for you." Mr. Ollivander said,

I paid 2 galleons and 1 knut for my wand and I left to met up with my dad.

And he had a surprise for me, sitting in a bronze cage was a owl. I recognized it as spotted owl.

"Is that owl for me?" I asked.

"Yes, this way you can send us letters." my dad said.

"Thank you." I said.

"It is a female in case you are wondering." my dad said.

"I think I will name her…Athena. She seems like an Athena." I said.

I had a feeling that this school year was going to be just fine.
