A/N: I hate computer sometimes. The reason this chapter is so late is because I messed up my internet and I had to figure out how I broke it. Well I got it fixed, but then I had to do homework. AND to add insult to injury, ff.net wasn't working and that set me back even more! Sheesh! So I'm sorry it's so late. I am working on more of the chapters. I don't have a lot of time anymore to work on my story because I'm in my school's Model United Nations club and that takes up most of my spare time. I was also sick last week and had to miss a day and a half of school. That set me back on everything, including my story. It may be a while before I post the next chapter, but I promise to make it worth your while. If you have any other ideas for me, please tell me and I will add them. Sorry there are so many author notes, I kind of like writing them. I'll try not to put them in at the top and only put them in at the bottom.

Chapter 4: Welcome to England
********************
"We are now beginning our decent into Heathrow National Airport. We would like to thank you for choosing British Airlines and to have a nice stay in lovely England!"
Jeshe leaned back in her seat and sighed. It had been a long and boring trip. She had slept most of the way, but she was still really tired. She put the magazine she had been reading back into her carry on bag. She had only been reading for the last forty-five minutes of the flight and she was eager to get off the plane. Finally the plane touched down on the tarmac and taxied to the gate. Jeshe retrieved her bag from under her seat, stood up, and stretched. She felt so much better after that.
After about twenty minutes, the flight crew started letting people off. As she was leaving, the pilot shook her hand and said, "Have a nice time in England." Then he said under his breath, "And have fun at Hogwarts, too." Jeshe gasped in surprise. How did he know? The pilot just winked in reply to her unspoken question.
Once in the terminal, Jeshe looked around for someone who might be a Muggle Studies Professor. Everyone in the terminal looked completely normal. Jeshe's heart fell. Maybe it was all just a big joke her mom had cooked up. Maybe she wasn't really a witch and everyone was in on it. Just as she was going through all the possibilities of why her mom would play such a cruel joke on her, someone tapped her on the shoulder.
"Excuse me," said a woman who looked to be about in her thirties. "but are you Ms. Wiggins? Dumbledore sent me here to pick you up and take you to the school." (a/n: I don't actually know if the professor is a woman or not, I'm just guessing. I have a 50/50 chance of being right.)
"Yes. I am." Jeshe replied.
"I am Professor Lilian Ronan, the Muggle Studies Professor." Ronan said.
"Pleased to meet you. I'm Jeshe Wiggins."
"The pleasure's all mine. Well now that we've got that over with, let's go get your things." Ronan said.
After they picked up Jeshe's things, they went outside and Ronan hailed a cab. They took the cab to London and got out in front of a very shabby looking pub that was hardly noticeable. In fact, Jeshe didn't even see it until Professor Ronan pointed it out. The cab driver must have not seen it either, for he passed right by it and Ronan had to yell at him to stop.
After Professor Ronan paid the cab driver and he sped off, she helped Jeshe carry her things to the pub that the cab driver was supposed to stop in front of.
"Welcome to the Leaky Cauldron." said Ronan as she and Jeshe stepped through the door.
"Thank you." Jeshe replied.
"It's not much, but they have great food here if you ever have a chance to visit on your own. But that's not why we're here. We need to get your school stuff." Ronan said.
Ronan talked to Tom, the innkeeper, and asked him if he could store Jeshe's personal belongings while they were getting her school things. Tom said he would be delighted to watch Ms. Wiggins' things. With that, Professor Ronan and Jeshe headed out the back door to the court yard where there were a bunch of trash bins.
"Let's see here, it's two up, three across. Stand back, Ms. Wiggins." said Ronan
She tapped the wall three times with her wand. The brick she had touched quivered- it wriggled- in the middle, a small hole appeared- it grew wider and wider- a second later they were facing a large archway, an archway onto a cobbled street that twisted and turned out of sight.
"This," said Ronan, "is Diagon Alley. We will be getting all your school supplies here."
"Wow. This is so awesome! Oh and you don't have to call me Ms. Wiggins all the time, please call me Jeshe."
"Ok. I was not sure what you wanted to be called. But since you have told me, I will call you by your first name."
"Thanks."
"No problem." Ronan said with a grin. "Now, let's go get your school things. I suppose we will have to stop at the bank first. Your parents gave me the key to your safe."
"Cool. I can't wait!" Jeshe exclaimed.

Well it's not too bad of a cliffie. I spent about three days on this stupid chapter because I've been so busy. And ff.net has been down, so that didn't put any pressure on me to write. I will be trying to put a chapter up every day, but you must understand, I have a life. If I can't get any chapters up for a couple of days, don't get mad at me. I have homework and other stuff going on. I will probably continue tomorrow, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I wanna thank everyone for reading and reviewing my story. That's what keeps me writing and I hope this will be a long story.
This has nothing to do with my story, but did JKR ever mention what colour hair Lily has? Some people in their fics have said it's red and one person said it was auburn, which is probably about the same thing, but I don't remember reading anything about Lily's hair colour. If someone could clarify this for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
