Hello everyone. Enjoy the chapter!

After Harry and Gabrielle had finished the task of getting their wands, the two pairs had split up again. Gabrielle and her father were due back home and it was getting close to the time where Hagrid would be sending Harry back home to the Dursleys.

While there was still a bit of time left, Hagrid had taken Harry to go and get a hamburger. The two of them were sitting at a table that was fairly well hidden from the public eye. Harry was grateful for this table given how busy the place was right now since he wasn't really in the mood to talk to anyone right now.

Not after finding out the truth about his wand's core. Harry had had such a great birthday and hearing this news about his wand wasn't to him the best way to wrap things up.

Hagrid noticed the lower mood he now seemed to be in.

"Yer all right there, Harry? Yer very quiet. Think that after today yeh'd be in a better mood than this," he asked.

Harry shook his head. "It's just the information about my wand. You heard what Mr. Ollivander said. My wand and Vol... sorry, You-Know-Who's share the same core. It's just a lot to take in."

Hagrid nodded in understanding as he looked out to the nearby streets.

"I wouldn't worry about it too much," Hagrid said. "As bad as the Dark Lord is, just because your wand has the same core don't mean that you're going to become evil. Nah sir, you are gonna be just fine. Just be yerself. I know that's hard n' all, but yer gonna have a great time at Hogwarts."

Harry felt a bit better after hearing this from Hagrid and gave him a small smile.

"Thanks, Hagrid," he said gratefully.

"Don't mention it," Hagrid replied.

Harry then stood up. "I'm going to go look for a bathroom. I'll be right back."

"Don't be too long. Yer train leaves in just a little bit," Hagrid called out to him.

So Harry began to search for a nearby bathroom. At the same time, there was a girl with platinum-blonde hair who had just come out of the ladies room and was jogging in his direction. But once she had turned the first corner...

"Oof!"

"Whoa!"

She and Harry wound up colliding into each other and they both fell flat on their bottoms.

Author's note: And here comes the secondpotential candidate for Harry's affection later on in the story. Can you guess who it is?
