Chapter Two - Diagon Alley
I walked out of my room and into the kitchen. Michelle was already sitting at the table sipping her tea. She looked at me as I entered the room. I felt as if she were studying my face. I wasn't sure. I could have been imagining it.
"Hi Jen!" Michelle exclaimed, back in her excited and happy mood. "Aren't you excited, we're going to Diagon Alley today!"
"Yay," I said sarcastically (I had just woken up).
"Come on, Diagon Alley is a great place… you just wait." She mumbled a few words and then handed me a plate with some pancakes which had just appeared. "Eat quickly, we're going soon."
I ate my pancakes quickly and then shouted (her mood was beginning to rub off on me) "I'm ready!"
"That's the spirit Jen!" she exclaimed. We walked back into the living room. Michelle handed me some dust.
"What is this?" I said disgustedly.
"It's floo powder. Just throw it in the fire, step in, and say, Diagon Alley!"
"Uh… right. Okay." I threw the dust into the fire and stepped in. "Diagon Alley"
I felt like I was falling. I closed my eyes, and suddenly I fell onto the floor in a room in a restaurant. Two seconds later, Michelle was standing next to me. "This is the Leaky Cauldron. We're going to go out into the alley now."
Michelle took out her want and tapped some bricks on the wall. Suddenly, the wall opened, revealing a large alley.
"Ah, Diagon Alley. Okay, I'm going to the bank to get some money. I want to introduce you to someone your age… hmmm…"
Michelle looked around. "Aha! There's Harry Potter!! Why don't you go introduce yourself." I looked at her nervously. "Go on, don't be shy. He's a nice kid."
As Michelle walked into Gringotts, I walked up to the small skinny boy with jet black hair. The moment I saw him I thought he was incredibly cute, and I knew what I would be daydreaming about this school year.
Harry was talking to a tall boy with bright red hair and hadn't noticed me. "Excuse me?" I said.
"Yes?" Harry responded. Wow, was he hot.
"Um," I faltered. "My name is Jennifer Brown. I guess you're Harry Potter."
"That makes 12," laughed the tall redhead. I blushed, and Harry immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, Ron here is mean, I can't believe he would even pretend to laugh at you." Harry smiled at me, and then stared at me with the same strange stare that I thought Michelle had given me.,
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing," he replied vaguely. "You just look so familiar…" He stared at me for a few more minutes and then turned away.
Ron nudged Harry and laughed. Harry did not laugh, rather he had a strange serious look on his face.
"Wait a second, what did you say your name was?" Ron was now staring at me.
"Jennifer Brown."
"Of course! Harry, that's why she looks familiar. You're the one who woke up from the coma."
"Yeah that's right."
"Wow, I'm surrounded by famous people." Ron sighed. "Someday, it'll be me…"
Harry continued staring at me. "I never heard that story. I don't get the wizard newspapers. I never heard of her in my life. She just looks so familiar. It's as if I already know you." He suddenly addressed me. "I'm terribly sorry. I must be making you feel weird."
"It's all right."
"Well you know if you're just starting, from a muggle family and all, you should hang out with us. We'll show you around. Who are you with?" Ron took my hand and smiled at me.
"I'm with my mom's friend Michelle," I replied.
"Hey!!!"
"Hey Hermoine!!" Ron exclaimed, pulling his hand away from mine and walking up to greet the girl. It was obvious to me that he really liked her, and had just been trying to be nice to me. Which was fine with me, as I wanted Harry.
"We'll leave them," Harry said smiling again. "Let's take a walk."
"Michelle is right there, let me just get money. You can take me to buy some stuff." I was eager to be alone with Harry.
"Hi Jen!! Here's some money. I'll go buy your books, you can get your wand and robes. I see you met Harry Potter. Her eyes flicked up towards the scar on his forehead, which I hadn't yet noticed. I looked at it, and realized that
"That's where Vol-, you-know-who got me." Harry said, noticing my stare.
"Sorry," I muttered.
"It's all right, everyone does it. I'm used to it. Let's go buy you a wand." He smiled at me again and I smiled back. Through his glasses his green eyes were gorgeous. I saw myself reflected in them.
As we walked through the alley we saw a pretty girl with flaming red hair like Ron's. She was holding a ton of books but she dropped them all when she saw Harry. Then she saw me, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"Hi Ginny," Harry said sweetly.
Ginny blushed, didn't respond, and glared at me. I tried not to look at her, but it was hard. She seemed to really hate me.
"That's Ron's sister," Harry explained, not noticing Ginny's glare. "A year younger than us."
We walked around, going into stores, buying wands, and books. All I could think was that I was the luckiest girl alive, a witch, walking with Harry Potter. I couldn't have been happier.
As the day came to an end, Harry took my hand and said "well it's been nice meeting you. I'll see you on the Hogwarts Express!"
"Cya!" I replied joyfully, and waved. He waved back as I joined Michelle as we headed back to the leaky cauldron for our journey home.
just so you all know, i love harry and ginny as a couple, and i'm not sure where this fic is going with that yet. it might get complicated. and there will be a big surprise eventually.
