Harry proceeded to explain Hogwarts and the know-how to Dudley. Once he got a firm grasp on everything he needed to know, they planned to meet one week before the train left for Hogwarts to gather school supplies.

And that was that. Dudley and Rivera left shortly after, promising to keep in touch.

James walked into the room and said, "Who was the little squirt with the fat guy?" Ginny looked appalled and raised an eyebrow.

Harry stood up from the couch and said, "That was my cousin Dudley and his daughter Rivera. Rivera is starting at Hogwarts this year along with Lily so I want you to be kind to her." James rolled his eyes and walked back into his room.

Harry sighed and grabbed his coat. He hung it next to Draco's and shirked his shoes off. Draco did the same and set them next to the couch. "Hey Ginny?" Draco started. Ginny nodded, giving him her attention. "Are you going to join us for Diagon Alley shopping?"

Ginny smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Ron and Hermione will also be there with their kids. Besides, I'll be handling James and Lily while you and Harry take Albus and Scorpius. But we also need to think of Rivera now. I guess I can watch her."

Harry slumped back into his chair. "Thanks Ginny."

She smiled. "I got to get going now. I have a hotel to run! Hey kiddos? I'm heading out now. See you all later!"

Lily, James, Albus, and Scorpius ran into the room. The three siblings hugged their mother and Scorpius said thank you. Then Ginny left.

Time passed quickly. Two months passed fast. Their house was sold and they moved into temporary hotel rooms at Ginny's hotel. Luckily, the hotel was located right near The Leaky Cauldron. It was the day that they had agreed to meet up with Dudley and Rivera.

Ron and Hermione had arrived at the hotel lobby with Rose and Hugo first. Harry quickly explained the Dudley and Rivera situation. They were understanding and agreed to go along with it.

Dudley and Rivera arrived soon after and met Ron and Hermione. From there, they made their way to The Leaky Cauldron. Dudley was repulsed by the outside state of the tavern, causing Harry to laugh. They went inside and the barkeep shouted, "Hey Mr. Potter! How are you today? You want a butter beer?"

Harry was tempted but shook his head. "No thanks good sir! Here to get school supplies for the kids!" The barkeep just smiled and went back to preparing a drink for a man on a barstool. Dudley looked around. People were using magic for nearly everything. Cleaning, cooking, even reading. He wondered where they bought the supplies.

A sign hanging above a back door reading, Diagon Alley. Harry opened the door and everyone shifted into the tiny, bricked in space. Dudley laughed. "Is this it? This has to be a joke!" Draco chuckled. Harry took his wand and tapped a few bricks on the wall. The bricks started to shift into an archway. The new view revealed a wide street, full of people bustling around. Shops lined the streets, compact, showing off all sorts of magical merchandise. "I take it back. This is pretty big."

Harry and Draco stepped into the street along with everyone else. The wall behind them started to close up again. "Okay everyone! We're splitting up. Ginny, you take Lily, Hugo, and Rivera. You can get all the first year stuff. Dudley, you've got the money you need so you'll go with them; carry stuff. Ron, Hermione, can you take James along with Rose? Draco and I will take Scorpius and Albus. Let's meet up at Ollivander's when we've got everything." Everyone agreed and headed off to do their own tasks.

Draco and Harry ventured to get the boys new robes, seeing how they had grown a lot over the summer. They quickly got fitted at Madam Malkin's and left to pick up the robes later. They took them to get their books next. The boys were taking seven classes: Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Divination, Herbology, History of Magic, and Charms. They bought two of each required book. The lady at the counter recognized Harry and proceeded to swoon when Harry laughed at a joke Draco made; "Had I known that they's have to lug around all these books, I'd have bought each of them a bottomless bag like Granger's."

The four of them made their rounds, buying the necessary items.

Afterwards, they hurried their way to Ollivander's. Dudley, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and all the kids were gathered around the shop. "Did you guys get your wands yet?"

Ron shook his head. "Nah. Henry's on a lunch break. He should be back soon." Henry Ollivander was the son of Garrick Ollivander, the man who gave Harry his wand.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Henry came running down the street saying, "Sorry, sorry, sorry! I tried to be quick!" He fiddled with a set of keys on a keyring and unlocked the door. "Come on in and have the young ones stand at the counter." Rivera, Lily, and Hugo stepped up to the counter and waited patiently while Henry disappeared in the maze of wand boxes. Harry and everyone else waited behind them. Ollivander reappeared with nine boxes stacked high.

They looked like they would fall.

They didn't and Henry set them on the desk and said, "You child, what's your name?" He pointed to Rivera and beckoned her forward.

"Rivera, sir." She stood at the desk and waited for Henry to do something.

"Nice to meet you Rivera." Henry opened one of the boxes and muttered, "Eleven inches, yew, Phoenix feather." He pulled out a light, carved wand and handed it to Rivera. She held it for nearly a second before Henry snatched it away from her. "No no no. Here, ten and a half inches, oak, unicorn hair." This wand was a deep, rich, red-brown. Leafy floral patterns were carved into the wood. A bright light emanated from the tip of the wand. Henry clapped. "Wonderful!" He took the wand back and placed it into it's box. He held it out and said, "Which of you is Miss Rivera's guardian?" Dudley stepped forward and took the wand from Henry.

Henry turned to Lily. "You're Harry's little girl. Lily right?" Lily nodded. "I remember when both of your brothers received their wands" He looked at the eight remaining boxes and proceeded to test one after the other. He ended up having to go to back into the maze and pull out two more boxes. He drew a black wand with gold engravings at the bottom. "Hawthorn, dragon heartstring, twelve and a half inches." He handed Lily the wand. A blue light seeped from her skin. Henry cheered. "Yay!"

Dudley turned to Harry. "That's different than what happened to Rivera."

Harry nodded. "Yeah. It's different for the person and wand. No two wands are alike, just how each person is different." Dudley nodded in understanding.

Harry took the wand from Henry and set it on top of the other parcels. Hugo was last. Henry knew exactly who he was as well. "I remember you. You were here with Rose when she received her wand." He pulled the yew wand out. "Let's try this." Tiny red sparks shot from the wand into miniature fireworks. "Awesome!" Henry packaged the wand up and handed it to Hermione. They paid for the wands and left the shop after thanking Henry.

Harry noticed Rivera carrying an owl cage. "Dudley, I didn't think you'd let her get an owl."

Dudley groaned. "I didn't want to, but I remember your bird and how much you loved it. Where is your owl?"

Harry looked down. "She died."

Dudley deadpanned. "Shit man, sorry."

Harry laughed feebly. "Sorry was a word I rarely heard from you. It suits you."

Hey guys! So first off, I created the name for Henry, but I know that the original Ollivander's name was Garrick. Also, I have absolutely no idea what Ginny did for a living. But what I have up there fits in the story I'm writing so...

Thanks for the support! See ya!
