"This is where we separate." I said.
"Yeah, it was nice meeting you! I can't wait to go to Hogwarts now!" John cheered.
On the plane ride we talked (mostly me) about Hogwarts of course. I told him about the classes and how not to get on Snape's bad side or McGonagall though she wouldn't be as bad. Then Trelawney is crazy and he should just write all about death for his homework. He looked at me like I was the one crazy. We also talked about the times I had at Hogwarts like when I worked with the twins with their pranks. Oh yeah! The twins are Fred and George Weasley. Their whole family is red heads with freckles but they are probably the only ones who can play a huge magical prank and not get caught for it. Even though everyone would know it was them anyway. We talked about the ghosts next so he wouldn't be surprised. On my first day they scared me so bad I screamed the loudest, I'm not that good with ghosts and now the twins won't let me forget it. After that we talked about the most common thing at Hogwarts, the houses.
"I'll probably be a hufflepuff."
"Oh cheer up, that just means you're loyal. Besides it doesn't matter what house you're in all are good." I tried to comfort him, though if you can't tell I'm not very good at it.
"What house are you in?" he asked miserably.
"Gryffindor." I winced.
"See! You're nice and kind plus I can already tell you're brave as well. I'm defiantly not getting into Gryffindor." He sulked.
"That just means that you have some other good quality about you." I said.
"Like what."
"You could be a smart Ravenclaw with information about everything or a cunning Slytherin who could pull the best pranks if they put their minds to it and I have said that Hufflepuff is the house of loyalty you would make many good friends there." I guess that was as good as a speech I could give.
"I guess, thanks Willow." He sniffed.
"You're welcome."
That was basically how our plane ride went and now we separated ways to see each other on September 1st and go to the wonderful school of witchcraft and wizardry. But first I still have to get a room at Diagon Alley. What better place to stay at then the Leaky Cauldron?
On Charing Cross Road between a bookshop and a record shop and supposedly in suspicious building stood between them. Ever since my first year I have kind of memorized everything about Diagon Alley and even most of Hogwarts.
When I came in the door though it seemed like a party was going on. Everyone and I mean everyone was swarming someone in the center next to a large man I could recognize as Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts.
"What's going on?" I questioned someone near the back.
"Harry Potter's here!" He exclaimed then went back to whispering to his neighbor. I knew Harry Potter, of course everyone knew he defeated you-know-who as a baby! But I kind of forgot he was entering Hogwarts. Pushing my way to the middle of the crowd to get a better look I saw a small child wearing clothes a lot larger then he was with round glasses, emerald green eyes and messy black hair. That was defiantly Harry Potter he even had that lightning scar everyone fan-girls about.
"Hagrid!" I shout out. He turned towards my voice and me.
"Ah Willow! How are you doing?" He exclaimed merrily /I'm not going to even try to do Hagrid's accent/
"Good! Thanks but why is Harry Potter here?" I told him.
"I am right here you know." The boy who lived said.
"Huh? Oh not what I meant sorry, I just thought you should be getting your supplies and not being surrounded by old men who want your autograph."
"Oh umm thanks, I guess?" He replied.
"I suppose your right Willow as usual. Well let's get going Harry we have much to see." Hagrid said while leading Harry out of the crowd making them part for his ginormous size.
"Hey Hagrid can I come!" I slightly pleaded. I didn't really want to crowd around the famous boy but I did want to see his reaction to Diagon Alley.
"I suppose so." He said after a while of thinking.
"Yay! Thanks Hagrid! Now come on Harry I can't wait to see your reaction!"
"Slow down!" He called as I pulled him along.
"Oh yeah, I'm Willow Burns! Nice to meet you!" I called back as we neared the exit. He was silent until we came to a stop in front of the brick wall. He stuck out his hand with a small smile,
"I'm Harry Potter, but I guess you already know that. Nice to meet you Willow." I grinned
"Awesome."
Just realized that my OC John Jacobs is kind of a lot like Neville (anyone else think that or is it just me?) Sorry about that it just kind of happened and to tell you the truth I didn't even plan him out until I started writing the chapter.
Anyway Harry came in! So yes this will not be an entirely OC story I wanted at least the golden trio year in or the next generation guys in so I ended up doing golden trio but not the same year.
