I'm sorry all my chapters are kind of short. I can't help it.
I would love a beta for this story by the way if anyone wants to offer.
Toad plus chicken egg
I got my books, potions ingredients, robes, etc…etc… and then time for my wand.
I shall point out that Graeme had already bought all of his things. It seemed he had already been at Diagon ally for a few hours. This just seemed to make his situation even more crappy, but there was nothing I could about it anyway, so I- hold up. I have the beginning of a plan here. I'll think it out a bit more in the wand shop.
The Olive dude was creepy; let's just leave it at that.
I only went though about 5 wands before I got mine, the first wand set Dumbledore's ropes on fire, the second wand turned the wandmaker's hair purple, the other two did other random unimportant things, however my favorite was the last one which turned everything Dumbs was wearing black. Do you know how weirdly awesome it was to see a gothic looking Dumbledore? I truly had that he turned his clothes back.
At least I discovered my wand was dragon heartstring and alder wood. To my absolute shock this was the same core and wood I had received on Pottermore. I guess JK knew what she was doing, huh?
My plan mostly planed out I stopped the Professor before we could leave the shop and come in hearing distance to my minion. You see I wanted to one explore knockturn ally, and two maybe use the leftover of my money to buy a nice book that would tell me how to cast Ginny's bat bogie hex or something cool like that and well Dumbles just wasn't going to allow that while he was here now was he? Thus I needed an excuse to stay here while he left and I being as awesome as I was had one.
"Sir? I know we're finished with our shopping, but before we go I was wondering if I could stay with Graeme until his parents come to get him? You don't need to stay with me, we could explore the ally and you could pick me up at 6 too, or if it's not too far I can just ride Green Brisket home."
I turned hopeful eyes on the man, hoping that as I suspected he couldn't resist someone wanting to do a good deed.
I was right, naturally.
"That sounds like a lovely idea. I'm afraid that it is a bit far so I'll be happy to pick you up at 6. Stay with your friend now and don't wonder out of the ally alright my dear?"
" Yes sir!" I beamed at him happily trying to forget that he had called me 'dear' of all things. It was a little weird that he didn't mind, but in this day and age kidnapping was rare and children could mostly do as they please I guess. I suppose it helped that I would have a male 'friend' with me. They were all sexist morons in this time so I would have to get used to having an escort a lot of the time.
Dumbles must like me because he slipped me some extra money to get myself some ice cream. As much as I really didn't like him much it would be kind of funny to have Dumbs favor when he doesn't or won't like my 'cousin'.
So the man with clothes way to bright finally left and I turned to assert my authority on my minion. I informed him that I would be going into many stores, and going down Knockturn ally and he was to follow me and make sure no harm can to Green Brisket no matter what.
Graeme who was ridiculously pleased that I was staying with him either really didn't mind obeying me or didn't even realize that I was ordering him about like, well like the minion he was.
We were just about to turn down the evilish ally when my eyes caught a display on a window.
It was a picture of a frog hopping very high and doing back flips. Now this meant something I was sure of it. I just needed to think of why this was important. Frogs, Toads, Neville's toad, tadpoles, frog eggs, fro-eggs. Toad plus chicken egg equals?
Oh I couldn't. It wouldn't work. Impossible. Too dangerous. A very stupid thing to do…
I wonder if I could find a book about how to hatch and raise a baby basilisk?
5mins later
"His name is Purple Biscotti." I informed Graeme holding out a large brown toad.
"Hello Purple Biscotti." Said Graeme politely.
" His children shall be great, powerful beings as their sire Purple Biscotti shall be respected. Brisket baby? Will you let Biscotti ride on you?"
She looked at me like, 'what is that thing?' but she let me place him on her back anyway.
"Now that, that has been taken care of let us explore the-" My stomach rumbled loudly.
"I'm hungry. Let's find a place to eat. Any suggestions?"
He looked at me like he had never been asked a question before, finally he more asked then said " Leaky Cauldron?"
" That works."
And so myself, my horse, my minion and my toad all went to eat at the Leaky Cauldron. Would we have a nice peaceful meal? Somehow I didn't think so.
