Chapter 3

"WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP! JOHNNY GET UP YOU LAZY RED MONKEY!" Mitch yelled while jumping on my bed.
"One, YOU BETTER GET THE HELL OFF MY BED BEFORE I KICK YOU IN THE BALLS!" I yelled at him as he got off
"Two, aren't you too old to be jumping on my bed like a baby."
"I'm 18 years YOUNG! So no."

"Fine and three," I said looking at my alarm clock 9:30am "BLOODY HELL IT'S ONLY 9:30 IN THE MORNING! Why did you wake me up this early!"
"Mum made waffles and said I had to wake you up to go to Hogsbreath the Wizards Shopping Mall, oh and I'm coming too!" He told me all excited.
"Fine I'm up. NOW GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" I Screamed

When I got to the kitchen I saw my brother trying to get the last plate of waffles from my mum.
"Star get the waffles before your brother eats them all!" My mum exclaimed as I ran and got the plate out of her hands and stuffing all of them in my mouth.
"Ha!" I laughed at my brother
"Our going to pay for that Johnny!" He yelled chased me around the kitchen.
"You two better stop or else I'll ask a witch to curse you!" Mum said with obviously no intention of getting us curse.
"Now could someone tell me how you're meant to use this Floo powder?" She asked and Mitch went over to read the instructions.

"Ok, so what you've got to do is hold a small handful of the powder in your hand, go into a fireplace and yell Diagon Alley and I can't stress this enough you MUST say it as clear as possible or else you could end up in a completely different place. Got it?" Mitch said and mum and I just replied with a nod.

"Ok Mum you first." Mitch ordered Mum and she got the Floo powder and entered the fireplace and said
"Diagon Alley."
"Ok I'll go next and you go straight after me Astaria. Got that." And with the simple words
"Diagon Alley" Mitch was gone to now it was my turn. I got a hand full of the powder entered the fireplace and said
"Diagonal Alley."

I ended up in a dusty and cobweb infested room. Looking for Mum and Mitch I exited the room to find a sign only 3 meters away that said Knockturn Alley. Dam-it I mentally kicked myself I must have said it wrong.

I looked around to see if I could ask someone where Diagon Alley was but everyone here scared me. "Hello Deary are you lost? Come with me." A scary woman said
"No come with me!" Exclaimed a man with an eye patch. Soon I was surrounded with scary men and women all trying to get me to follow them but I knew better I stayed put but then they started to grab me but they missed. Not long after a man with greasy black shoulder length hair and a black robe yelled.
"Get off of her!" I felt like I could trust him like I knew him before but I couldn't remember. He put out his hand and I willingly grabbed it and followed.

"Thanks, for back what you did back there."
"No problem here's Diagon Alley find you family and stay with them." He told me.

I walk for what seemed like hours but was actually only 2 minutes till I found my brother staring at an ice cream stand. I ran over to him and tapped his shoulder and he turned around and yelled "BLOODY HELL WOMEN WHERE WERE YOU MUMS LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU!"

"I got lost." Was my all I said before my came and gave me a huge hug and a long lecture about never leaving her sight again.

"So what are we buying first?" I asked
"Actually we need to go to Gringots Bank. We don't have any magic people money and... Guys it's called Hogsemede not Hogsbreath." Mitch said pointing at a sign
"but people still have a strange obsession over hogs." I told him
"Yeah, I guess they do." Mitch replied.

"Dude are you seeing what I'm seeing?" I asked Mitch
"If you're seeing tiny goblins that are doing paper work. Then yes I am seeing what you're seeing." Mitch replied.
"Vault, 687 for Miss Johnson here." Mitch said pointing to me
"Does Miss Johnson have her key?" The goblin replied, making mum go through her bag searching for about 7minutes until she finally yelled
"Found it!" A little too loudly and handed it to the goblin, which told us to follow him.

We entered a rather old looking cart. I sat down and the goblin said something that I didn't quite catch before we went on the best roller coaster ride ever until we got to my vault.
"When we entered the vault there was money scattered everywhere.

Mum gave me three pouches and I put in a great amount of gold, silver and bronze. When we left the vault we got another awesome roller coaster ride and I think I saw mum puck off the side.

"BEST RIDE EVER!" I yelled when we got out of Gringots.
"Can we go again?!" I questioned mum.
"No, never, maybe you can but I am not ever going again and that's final."
"But I can still go right?" I asked
"Yes." She said with a sigh.

"What should we buy first?" Mitch asked making me look at the list
"Oooh, how 'bout we get my wand first." I told them heading to Ollivanders wand shop.

When we entered Ollivanders there was no one there so we hit the bell and a man came out
"Hello, who might you be dear?" He said asking me.
"Astaria Johnson and you must be Ollivander." I said and he nodded before he walked away to a shelf of wands and brought three out.

"Just wave the wand." He told me and as I did a lamp blew up so I quickly put it back down.
"No, not that." And he handed me another one. I went through 13 wands until he brought out a pure black one with what looked like backed waves engraved on it.

Personally I found it looking quite dull and boring, until I held it turn into two awesome greenish colours blending together continuously with the black wave just above the handle moving.

"Interesting, very interesting." Ollivander said
"What is?" My brother asked relieved that I finally got a wand
"That wand, there is only one of its kind. See the wand chooses the wizard and people thought that it wouldn't pick anyone.

"Still confused. Why won't it pick anyone?" I asked
"The wand is a 12 inch, shell cased with Pegasus hair said to be crafted in the centre of the Atlantic Ocean. It's been in this shop since it first opened."
"So more than 2000 years?" Mitch asked rather shocked.
"Yes it's said that it's more powerful than the elder wand if found by the true owner."

"Ok, we kind of got to go we need to by the rest of Star's stuff for school. So how much is it?" Mum asked.
"30 galleons" Ollivander said. We payed him and we left then we went to get my other stuff.

Then we had to leave Hogsemede. I think Mitch was most disappointed in leaving maybe 'cause he was hugging a pole saying
"I don't wanna go!" Like a 5 year old leaving their friends house. They'll never leave if you gave them a chose.
