Silvana "Silvie" Ellery
"Hey! Give it back!" Someone yelled in the hallway. Silvie's eyes snapped open and she groaned, her brothers were fighting again.
"Guys! Cut it out!" She heard her older sister, Katie, yell. Silvie groaned and closed her eyes again, hoping to get some sleep.
Unfortunately it didn't work, so eventually she gave up. She quickly brushed her golden-brown hair and pulled on some clothes before rushing downstairs.
Her brothers, Zach and Carter, were still arguing with each other, they always argued. Her older brother Cole, was sitting at the table, reading a newspaper and trying to ignore the fighting. Katie didn't seem to be up yet.
"Today, we're going to Diagon Alley!" Her mother said excitedly, rushing into the room.
"Morning Mum," they chorused in the usual bored tone. But Silvie was excited, she was going to Diagon Alley! She rushed into the kitchen to get her Hogwarts letter of the fridge, it had all the things she needed to get.
"Are you excited Silvie?" Her mother asked.
"Definitely!" She replied.
A little while later, everyone was up and dressed, so they were ready to go.
"How are we getting there Mum?" Carter asked.
"Floo Powder," she replied.
"Damn, I was hoping we would go by car." Katie said, she loved muggles and learning about technology/
They each took a handful of the soft powder, and one by one, they stepped into the green flames in the fireplace.
Finally it was Silvie's turn. She stepped into the fireplace and threw down the powder yelling,
"Diagon Alley!"
In a swirl of green flames, she disappeared from the fireplace. She tucked her elbows in, so they wouldn't bump against the grates. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the fast-paced movement.
Finally she stopped, and stumbled out of the grate into the bright streets of Diagon Alley. Her father, Cole and Zach, were already standing there, waiting. Silvie was beginning to feel slightly sick after the ride, and she was incredibly dizzy.
"You alright?" Cole asked, helping her stand up.
"Yeah I'm fine," she replied as Carter came spinning into view. He was closely followed by Katie and their mother.
"Okay, are we all here?" Their father asked, counting the five children.
"I guess I'll head off to Diagon Alley then," he said, walking away.
"Alright, so Katie needs new robes and Silvie needs all those things on her list. The rest of you just need books right?" There mother asked.
"Well, I don't need anything" Cole said, he had already finished his schooling and was now training to become a professor.
"Good, well you can go with Silvie to get her supplies, Carter and Katie can go get her robes and I'll go with Zach to get the spellbooks," there mother said.
"Then we'll all come back and meet here in an hour" she continued, as their father strode back, carrying a sack of money. He gave a portion to each child before they left.
"So where do you want to go first?" Cole asked Silvie, looking at her list.
"Could we get a wand?" She asked excitedly.
"Sure," he replied as they walked off in the direction of Ollivanders.
Together, they opened the door to the small, dark shop and walked inside, no one seemed to be in there.
"Oh Hello" A man said, suddenly appearing out of nowhere, he looked at Cole.
"Let's see, you were dragon heartstring and pine, 12 inches, quite good for transfiguration," He said. Silvie was shocked that he could remember a wand he sold nine years ago.
He saw her expression and said, "I remember every wand I've ever sold."
A short while later, he had measured Silvie and walked off to find a wand.
"Was he like this with you?" Silvie asked her brother.
He nodded, "exactly like this."
Ollivander appeared again, carrying a small box. He opened it and handed to wand inside it to Silvie.
"Dragon Heartstring, 9 1/2 inches, holly, quite whippy," he said. Silvie waved it around but nothing happenned, she put the wand back down, disappointed.
"Never mind, the wand chooses the wizard, I'll find you another," he said, once again disappearing.
After trying heaps more wands, Silvie began to get worried, what if no wand chose her?
"Unicorn hair and maple, 10 1/4 inches, good for charms," Ollivander said, handing her another wand.
This time when she waved it around, yellow sparks began to fly out.
"It worked!" She yelled excitedly, Cole started to clap.
"That'll be seven galleons." Ollivander said as he handed her the wand.
Silvie and Cole quickly exited the shop as another boy walked in. Cole checked his watch.
"We still have a while left before we have to head back, what do you want to do?" He asked his sister.
Silvie stared around, wondering what they should do. But before she could make up her mind she heard someone call from down the street.
"Hey Cole! Is that you?" A man about Cole's age asked.
"Callum!" He called back, walking away from Silvie, forgetting about her. She could see them talking away, Callum had been one of Cole's best friends at Hogwarts, he'd even been over to their house.
Silvie looked around, wondering what to do. Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Hi, are you okay?" A girl about her age said.
"What? Yeah, I'm fine." Silvie replied. "Just, waiting for my older brother," she said, waving her hand in Cole's direction.
The girl rolled her eyes, "My older sister's like that. I'm Athena Malcom by the way," she said.
"I'm Silvie Ellery." She replied, shaking the hand Athena had put out.
"Are you starting at Hogwarts this year?" She asked.
Silvie nodded, "are you?"
"Yeah, I suppose I'll see you there, my sisters coming," she replied.
Silvie watched her walk away and turned to see that Cole had already finished talking with Callum and had been spying on them.
"Making friends already?" He asked, winking at her.
"Yeah, she seems quite nice," Silvie replied.
"Well, let's go." He said, putting an arm around Silvie's shoulder as they walked back down the street.
