Chapter 4 Diagon Alley

Hermione woke up early in the morning the next day, and ran quickly to the showers, cleaned up and put on her nicest clothes she could find. Ellis was down in the kitchen making breakfast for Hermione, herself, and Professor McGonagall. "Hermione, are you up yet sweetheart?" Ellis called up the stairs.

"Yes Mummy Ellis!" said Hermione (Hermione, over the years, got use to calling Ellis mummy). The moment Hermione got to the bottom of the stairs, there was a loud BOOM at the door, which made Ellis yelp. Hermione was a little hesitant to answer the door but made her way over to see who it was.

At the door was the biggest man that Hermione had ever seen, wearing a large overcoat with wild messy hair and a beard tangled in all directions. The giant looked down at Hermione and smiled. "You must be Hermione, well I'm Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts," said the giant named Hagrid. When Hermione heard him say Hogwarts she calmed down immediately and warmed up to him.

"Mum, its OK, he's from Hogwarts," said Hermione, for she had caught the slight worried face when Ellis seen Hagrid, "His name's Hagrid." Ellis seemed to calm down to and offered Hagrid some eggs and toast, with butter.

"Will Professor McGonagall be joining us shortly?" asked Ellis. Hagrid looked over at Ellis and told her "The professor was running busy this morning so Dumbledore decided that I should take you since I have a few errands to run anyway."

The three of them finished their little breakfast, when Hagrid got up and moved in front of out fireplace. "Um, Hagrid the door is on the other side of the room," said Hermione looking concerned. Just then Hagrid pulled out a huge pink umbrella and tapped the fireplace with the tip of it, then the wall started to shake and the fireplace was getting bigger and bigger until it was the size of Hagrid. "We'll be traveling by floo powder," said Hagrid excitedly.

Hermione got confused once again and asked Hagrid what Floo Powder was. Hagrid was looking at Hermione with fascination, "Sorry, I forget sometimes that you don't know our world's ways. Floo is a way of transportation in the wizarding world," said Hagrid. After he explained all the rules to the two of them, Hermione was up first since Ellis would Travel with Hagrid, since she is a muggle.

Hermione walked nervously into the fireplace and took some of the powder that Hagrid handed her. "Now speak very clearly," Hagrid instructed. Hermione drooped the floo powder and said "Diagon Alley!" A green fire engulfed her up and out of the chimney. All Hermione could see were swirling lights, and then a few moments later, Hermione was stand in the fireplace of what looked like a book store, Hermione quickly got out of the fire place and headed straight for the books. They were all different sizes and colors, and to Hermione they were beautiful. Then the green flames erupted once more with Hagrid and Ellis clutched to Hagrid's leg.

After a few minutes, Ellis was able to calm down, and the first thing she said "Leave it to Hermione to bring us to a book store," while laughing. Hermione just gave a big smile and went over to Ellis to see if she could pick out a book. "Hermione, first we need to get money." Looking at Hagrid she asked, "I don't suppose they use muggle money?"

"Hermione don't need any money. She has her own vault full of money, over the years people been donating money, for saving us all from the dark lord."

Hermione could not be leave her eyes when Hagrid had taken her to Gringotts Bank. Hermione got to see goblins for the first time, and when she saw her vault and what was inside it, she almost fell over. Piles of gold, silver, and bronze so high Hermione wasn't sure how she would reach the top, or how it wasn't falling over. "You mean all this is for me and my education, from people I don't even know, all because I somehow hurt Voldemort?" Hagrid winced at the name, but did not say anything, he just simply nodded.

When they left Hermione's vault, they headed to another one that was empty, except for a little package that Hagrid quickly put in his pocket, "Hogwarts business, top secret." When they were out of Gringotts they headed over to the robe shops to get Hermione fitted. When she walked in there were two boys in there already, one with bleach blond hair, and one with jet black hair, and round glasses, and in the opposite corners was a skinny blond woman with a sour face, and a tall beautiful red headed woman. When Hermione walked up to the lady she said it would be just a moment.

The boy with black messy hair walked over to Hermione and said "Hi, I'm Harry Potter, I'm going to be a first year, you?" Hermione smiled wide showing all her teeth.

"Hi, I'm Hermione Granger, and yes I'm a first year," but was cut off when the blond boy came over and stepped in front of Harry and introduced himself.

"I'm Draco Malfoy, so you are the famous Hermione Granger." Hermione at once did not feel all to welcome for he pushed her bangs aside to look at her scar.

"Leave her alone, we were talking," said Harry forcefully. Draco gave Harry a cold look then turned back to Hermione "You will soon find out Granger, that some wizarding families are better than others, I can help you in that department," while sticking out his hand to shake it. Before Hermione could do anything the woman was ready to take her measurements and the Malfoy kid was gone, and the boy named Harry was being sullenly led out of the store by his mother. The woman did not take to long getting the measurements, and was sending them on there way. Then Hagrid took them to get Hermione her wand, which she was looking forward to the whole day. Soon they got to a building called Ollivander's: Makers of Fine Wands Since 382 B.C.

As Hermione, Hagrid and Ellis made there way into the shop, Hermione was looking all around with amazement. An old man appeared out of thin air, he was tall and lean, wearing a tattered cloak. He made his way over to Hermione and said "It's nice to finally meet you, Miss Granger." Hermione did not ask how he knew her, because the whole day was filled with people coming up to her asking to shake her hand. "Well let's get started shall we? Which is your wand arm?" asked Mr. Ollivander. Hermione guessed he meant what hand is she used to write with and stuck out her right arm. Mr. Ollivander started taking all kinds of measurements you could think of. He went over to a wall with over 1000 different boxes and picked one out, and handed it to her. "Well give it a wave," said Ollivander but no sooner did she twirl the wand it was swiped out of her hand. Ollivander just kept handing wand after wand over to Hermione until he stopped at one and said " I wonder…" and slowly gave it to Hermione, as she held on to the wand a warmth spread over her and red sparks flew out the end of it. "Curious, very curious," said Ollivander.

Hermione looked over to him and asked, "What's curious?"

It took a few moment before he would answer. "I remember every wand I have ever made and no two wands are alike, what is curious is why you would be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar."

Hermione wasn't sure what to think about this information, but quickly paid for her wand anyway, and got the rest of her things to start school, even getting a few extra books that were not listed on the list. Before leaving, Hagrid gave her a ticket for Platform 9 3/4, and then surprised Hermione with a fluffy ginger cat, "Happy early Birthday, I saw him in there all alone and thought you would like him" said Hagrid with a smile. Hermione took the cat in her arms and thanked Hagrid before they left.
