One month later- August 31st
"What's left on the list?" Harry asked as he stifled a yawn. Annie rolled her eyes and picked up her supplies list for school. She couldn't believe how tired Harry and Isadora were acting. Isadora had already fallen asleep and now had her head down on the table curled up beside Harry. They hadn't really been out all that long. She had woken them up at 6 o'clock this morning and it was only 4. And they had barley coved any ground.
"Next up are robes" Annie said as she got up dusting off her jeans.
"We should get going" Mrs. Owns said as she stood beside her daughter. Harry looked at the two groaning at the similarities. Annie was due to be just like her mother.
"Isadora, wake up" Annie shouted at an asleep Isadora.
Isadora seemed to jump five feet in the air and ended up under the table cowering from a smug looking Annie. "I'm a vampire Annie" Isadora said as she crawled from under the table. "Can't you get that through your thick head? I NEED MY SLEEP!" Isadora finally made it to her feet. Standing beside Harry looking exhausted.
"Now that we're all awake we can get going!" Annie said to happy for Isadora's liking. With a downcast look in her eyes and a deep groan, Isadora and Harry followed the Owens out of the small café and into the crowded streets of Digon Ally.

It took awhile of pushing through the crowded streets for the group of five to finally reach Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. They entered the shop looking around. Patrick, who had already seen everything and knew what his uniform was going to be seemed unimpressed. Many Hogwarts students were busy getting fitted as well. Many were dressed in robes of cotton and some silk, depending on their parents. Mrs. Owens walked up to the counter knowing that DeLeo's uniforms would be out in the open.
"Hello" She started talking to the old lady behind the counter who seemed tired and worn out. "We are here looking for Uniforms for DeLeo's Academy. I know that they ship in a new supply for the new students each year. I have three first years and one third year." The lady seemed to brighten up at this and smiled.
"Oh I have been waiting for you for awhile. The other two have already come to claim their robes. Let me just go and get them from the back." The lady left with a smile quickly rushing to the back room. She was not gone long and when she came back she had four young men following her. Each one held a rather large trunk. Three were all made of black leather with the DeLeo's Crest stamped in gold. The fourth was also black but instead of a gold crest it was white. "Here they are." The old women said. The boy closest to her set down a black and gold trunk. "Now for the first years we have a vary fashionable uniform. This will be the same design all through your years. Your year has been assigned the color white. Each every other year is assigned a different color. The third year will ware a black uniform as he has through his years." The women took out a key from her pocket and opened the trunk. Harry stared at the contents in amazement. The clothes were beautiful.
There were two white jackets with high collars. There were golden clasps to keep the uniform jacket shut. Beside the jacket there were nine sets of dark gray button up shirts. Also in the chest were four white and golden vests and six blood red ties. One the farthest side of the trunk six pairs of clean white pants wee folded neatly and a pair of black shoes, polished and ready to wear. There was a lot more room in the trunk and by the looks of it the trunk could be extended with a simple spell. There was more then enough room to hold any other belongings that Harry would need to take with him to school. The last thing in the trunk caught Harry's attention. It was a gray backpack. It looked strong and able to hold a lot of things.
"Now, this is a boy's uniform. This will be the trunk that you take with you to school. It can be shrunken and has a feather-light charm on it so it is easy to transport. It is also bottomless. So is this backpack. It was enchanted by the headmistress herself so that you are able to carry everything you need in this on bag." The women then had another trunk placed down and opened.
The uniform was also white. It had two white and gold jackets and nine sets of dark grey shirts. There were six blood red ties. There was also a backpack, and nine clean white pants. But also in the trunk there were seven white skirts set beside the pants. There were sixteen sets of knee high socks put into a secret compartment drawer in the corner of the trunk. And finally in the place of black shoes there were brown boots that would make any girl stunning.
The lady showed them more about the clothes and trunk. The clothes were weaved of time silk making them indestructibly and protects the wearer until taken off.
They were there for three hours until finally the lady gave them their assigned trunks.
"Oh I almost forgot." Isadora let out a groan and sunk into Harry for support. The lady snapped her finders and lined up in brown wrapped packages with their names on the appeared before her. "These are you cloaks and formal clothing. There are three clocks in here along with three scarves, two sets of gloves, a hat, and your badges signifying your years. There are also your dress clothing for any formal party that you attend while at school." With deep sighs of relief that the day was almost over the kids grabbed their packages and paid the women a total of 300 gallons. It was a hefty price but worth it.
With tired sighs the group headed back to Potter Manor to find the Potter's eating dinner.
"Oh what did you buy!" Lily cried as she saw Harry dump a number of packages on the floor. Isadora who had chosen to revel herself to the Potters as Harry's friend sighed and laid down.
"A lot of things" Harry said as he picked a now asleep Isadora up off the floor and put her on the couch. "The uniforms are cool" Harry said. He didn't really enjoy telling his mother about this but he was to tired to put up a fight. "They separate by color. This year is white. They give us everything already set in a trunk and everything. Formal robes, clocks, winter supplies, a trunk, and the total class uniform."
"Wow, these are beautiful" Lily admired as she ran her hands over the gold stitching on Harry's coat.
"Hey Orion, come try this on!" James yelled. Harry narrowed his eyes as his older brother came bouncing out and slipped into the coat. "Looks great on you" The coat wasn't on Orion for more then 30 seconds before it jerked back into the trunk folding itself and falling into the trunk. The trunk snapped shut and locked.
"I forgot to tell you that the clothes are made just for us. No one else can ware them. That's the best part" With a dark smile Harry picked up his packages and put them into the trunk. He did the same for Isadora. With a sigh he woke Isadora up. She grabbed her trunk without saying a word and left the Potter's home only to transport herself to Harry's room. "Good night then" Harry gave another dark smile before climbing the stairs with his trunk in hard.
He collapsed on his bed beside Isadora who curled up in a ball at his side.
"We go to DeLeo's tomorrow" Harry said. When he heard no reply he looked down to find Isadora already asleep and in dreamland. With a smile he kissed her forehead and closed his eyes. Allowing sleep to take him in.
-----
Harry had no idea what to expect when he walked downstairs into the living room. He knew that he would attend school before Orion, but he didn't think his parents would actually be awake to see him off. He was dressed in his uniform. He had to admit, he looked good in it. Isadora would join him soon to hide the fact that she had slept in Harry's room.
So when Harry walked into the living room he was greeted with a teary eyes Lily, and proud looking James, and a board looking Orion. Each were dressed in their finest clothes. Annie, Patrick and Mrs. Owens stood in the background. Annie and Patrick also dressed in their uniforms.
"Jane, how do we get to DeLeo's?" Lily asked the servant in a sickly sweet voice.
"Um…we go to Cross Stands Airport and travel through the portal that will take us to our flight. All parents are welcomed to see the school and enjoy the welcoming feast, but other then we leave and the children really don't come back until the end of the year." Jane explained. Lily smiled and James smirked. They would get to see the school. Wonderful.
There was a knock on the door and Harry raced to greet Isadora who was dressed in her white skirt and jacket.
With everything prepared and ready the Potter's advanced on the fireplace with the Owens and Isadora. Grabbing the floo powder, his trunk and Isadora's hand, Harry throw the powder in and shouted "Cross Stands Airport"
The green fire swirled around him until he was thrown out and landed on the floor in a heap of pain.
"You okay?" Harry and Isadora both looked up from their places on the floor to see two boys about the age of Patrick standing above them with concerned looks in their eyes. One had messy, well they both had messy hair, but this one had dark green eyes that shined brighter then any star would. His hair was a bronze color, almost red. The second had curly dirty blonde hair. His ocean blue eyes looked like they could brake into the souls of anyone.
"Fine" Isadora coughed as she used her legs to push Harry off. She stood up and brushed herself off. She took notice of her surroundings. She was in a vary large room with several families together all the kinds waring their desiccated uniforms.
"I'm Cedric" The boy with bronze hair said with a smile. He stuck out his hand and Harry shook it with a returned smile. "And this here is my cousin Jasper" Cedric put his arm around the other boy who gave a nervous smile and seemed to blush a little. Isadora smiled at him and he smiled back. They talked a few moments longer, or Cedric and Harry talked with Jasper and Isadora sat quietly beside each other watching the people go around.
With the Potters arrived they went their separate ways with smiles being exchanged between the four.
"What took you so long?" Isadora asked angry as to why she had been forced to sit for so long in the sunlight.
"The idiot, boy-who-lived got lost in the floo network and we spent a half-hour searching for him." Patrick groaned. The Lily and James had began to talk with other parents and Annie was quickly dragged off by Mrs. Owens and Patrick. This left Isadora and Harry alone. They sat in some of the chairs and waited for the plane or whatever it was to take them to their school.
Taking a deep sigh Isadora leaned her head on Harry's shoulder and closed her eyes.
