Chapter 4: Diagon Alley

When I woke up, the next morning, a feeling of confusion washed over me. It's that feeling when you wake up in a strange place and don't remember where you are or why. But then all the memories from the previous night come back to you in waves. Yeah that's basically what I felt when I woke up.

I looked over to Will's bed expecting to see him in it. He wasn't there. I assumed he was either in the washroom or downstairs having breakfast. Or already in the place where we have to go to get our school supplies. Wherever that is.

Then I heard the door that leads to the bathroom open. I look over and there he is. Just standing there with his hair still damp from what I think is a shower. When I register the fact that all he's wearing is shorts my brain pretty much stopped working.

I could feel my face grow hot in what I am sure is a blush so hard I could make a tomato jealous. And we all know tomatoes are very red. Must he torture me like this? I want to look away, I want to hide my blush behind my hair as I always do, or just hide under my covers. But I can't move, I can't seem to stop staring.

Will's teasing voice is the thing that finally breaks me out of my trance. "Are you checking me out?" He doesn't even look the slightest bit embarrassed.

I looked up to meet his eyes and he was smirking. Smirking. I think I blushed even harder, but I don't see how that's possible. Finally I managed to choke out a weak, "Shut up," of course I stuttered so it sounded like a remix. I was finally able to look away, so I looked down at my hands, which were in my lap as I was sitting on my bed with my legs crossed.

His laughter filled my ears. Don't laugh at me. He walked over to his bed and pulled his shirt on over his head. For a second, I felt disappointed. I'm not sure why, but I missed shirtless Will. What is going on?

Then Will suggested, "So, I think we should get breakfast first, and then we should go get our robes and wands." I had to agree because I was pretty hungry, and I wanted to check out some places here.

~le time skip~

After we had a good breakfast, we walked over to the barman, who's name we learned was Tom, and asked him if he knew where we could get the supplies for Hogwarts. You know, like wands and stuff.

He chuckled and said, "Come with me." Of course we followed him, but not before Will and I shared a look of confusion. Tom brought us to a brick wall. That's right, you heard me. A brick wall.

I leaned over to Will and whispered, " Why are we standing in front of a brick wall?" Of course because he was so tall I had to go on my toes. Why are you so DAM tall? (A/N: Sorry, I had to put that in)

Will turned to me and whispered, "I don't know." I had gone back to putting my weight on my whole foot, so he had to lean down. When he did that, his warm breath hit my neck, which made me shiver. Why are you doing this to me?

While me and Will were whispering to each other, Tom had been rummaging in his cloak (Yeah, all the wizards here wore cloaks) and he finally took out his wand. He started tapping on specific bricks, kind of like a code.

At first I was confused, I didn't understand what he was doing. But then the bricks started moving and forming a kind of doorway (without the door though.) I looked over at Will, and we both had the same expression on our face, we were both in awe of what we saw before us.

I couldn't describe it if I wanted to, but I'll try. There were shops lining the sides of the road where hundreds of wizards, all dressed in oddly interesting clothes, were walking. And at the end, there was a giant building that said Gringotts Bank. (A/N: Is that even how you spell it?)

I heard Will thank the barman for bringing us here, and then we both walked through the newly formed doorway without the door.

I turned to ask Will if he knew where we could get our wands, but before I could say a single word I crashed into him. I heard someone behind me apologize, I think they accidentally pushed me when they were walking. Because he's so tall my face basically just slammed into his chest and it hurt my nose. I hadn't realized his chest was so hard.

"You okay?" I heard Will's voice ask.

I looked up and said, "Yeah." It was only when our eyes met that I realized how close we were standing. Our noses were almost touching, and I could smell some kind of tea on his breath. I took a step back and looked at the floor as I felt my cheeks turn pink. I cleared my throats before asking, "Do you know where we could get our wands?"

"Umm, yeah." He cleared his throat before continuing, "my letter said there was a place called Ollivander's."

I looked up and said, "How come my letter didn't say anything about where we could get them?" I guess it kind of sounded like I was whining because Will didn't answer. All he did was chuckle, which made me pout.

"Come on, Nico. Let's go." Will grabbed my hand, which made my heartbeat quicken to about ten times the speed, and pulled me along.

After a few minutes of looking for a place called Ollivander's, we finally decided to ask someone. We asked a redheaded woman who was a little plump, and she pointed to a shop that we had definitely passed a few times.

We thanked her and when we were walking back to the shop I looked at him with a raised eyebrow and said, "So, if you knew where you were going, why did we pass the shop a few hundred times?"

"Oh, shut up," he said, while swatting at my arm, but I dodged.

All I did was laugh. When we got inside, we looked around in awe of all the shelves stocked with small boxes. Then a man popped up from behind the counter and asked, "What can I do for you?"

Our heads snapped towards him and Will said, "We both need a wand, and we heard we could get them here."

"You two seem a little old to be buying a wand for the first time, and I've never seen you before," he said with a look of suspicion.

"Umm... no. We just lost our wands on our way here from America. We need knew ones." That was the best lie I have ever told.

Mr. Ollivander still looked a bit suspicious, but because of our accent I guess he believed us. He walked towards a shelf and looked at the tags of the boxes. He pulled out two of them and handed them to us. "Try them," he said.

I took the one he handed to me and I looked at Will confused. It was just a plain black wand with a swirly design on the side. I flicked it and it made Will fall over. "Oops!" I said. I set it down on the counter gently and then went to help Will. "Are you okay?" I asked him as I pulled him up.

"Yeah, fine."

"I thought it would be that one, but I suppose not," was all Ollivander said. "Now, you try," he said pointing at Will.

He flicked it and, instead of something happening, like what I did, wind picked up and started swirling around him. I backed away from him because it was starting to freak me out, and then, just as suddenly as it started, the wind stopped.

"Ah, it appears that this is your wand," said Ollivander.

It was a yellow wand with a few small suns carved onto it.

"Um, cool, I guess..." said Will. He still looked a bit confused.

I turned to Ollivander and asked, "What about my wand?"

"Maybe you should try this one," he said as he handed me a new box.

I opened the box, and as soon as my fingers wrapped around the wand the same thing happened. The wind picked up and swirled around me making my hair fly around my head. When it stopped I looked at Ollivander and said, "I'm assuming this is my new wand?"

It was black and had a white skull on the bottom. Wow, now people will know I'm a son of Hades.

"Yes," he said simply.

We thanked him and payed for our wands. We walked around for a bit and then we found a shop named Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. I looked at Will and said, "You think we can get the robes in there?"

"Yeah, I think we can," he said with a nod.

After a very long while of trying on different sizes of robes, we finally bought them. We were left with quite a bit of money, so Will and I just wandered around to see if we wanted anything. I found a shop called Magical Menagerie where you could buy pets. We walked in to see what animals they had, and I saw a black cat walking around.

I walked towards it and, instead of running away from me, it came closer. I reached out and picked it up. It's eyes were green, the exact same shade of the hat Bianca always wore, and it's fur was the same colour of her hair. I decided then and there that this cat was mine.

I walked over to the counter and paid for the cat. I brought it over to Will and he looked at it with a raised brow and said, "I didn't know you liked cats, what are you going to name it?"

"I'm going to name it Bianca. It reminds me of my sister," I said looking down at my new cat with a smile.

A/N: I hope you liked that. I'll try to update soon.
