Once again, I don't own anything but my
charicters. J.K.Rowling owns everyone else.
Chapter 2
Well, I have successfully survived half a day of shopping with my
sister. But we're not done yet. Not even close. I already got my
spell books, and ran into a rather poor wizarding family when
coming out, too. They all had red hair, like leprechans. Except
no funny hats. There was five of them, an older boy, a prefect,
as Kaori called him, a little girl younger than myself, a pair of
twins, and a boy my age. I didn't say anything to them. That
would have disgraced my family, too. Everything nice seems to
disgrace our name. Weird, huh?
After that, I went to get my cauldron. I had my eye on a silver
one, as silver is one of my favorite colors. But my sister said
no and gave me one of her looks. I ended up with the Pewter one
the list called for. The good thing, however, is that I got a
free telescope.
And that left me where I am now. Eating ice cream from the ice
cream place. I like this flavor. It's interesting. It's called
something like mint chocolate vanilla. It's a weird name, and I
was reluctant to try it, but it's rather good. I am sitting here,
eating my ice cream and looking at the brooms in the Quality
Quidditch Supplies. I want one. Imagine being the youngest
quidditch player on the team. I would love to be one, flying high
in the air over the crowd. But I wouldn't fancy getting my hair
messed up. Oh well. I can't have everything my way. And of course,
there is that rule of first years not being able to have brooms.
But then, my family never exactly follows rules. But my father
has a job at the ministry, so no one ever questions our actions.
It's a good thing, too.
I'm not quite sure what my father does at the ministry, as I'm
not permitted to ask questions. I normally get in trouble for
asking too many questions. Of course, a few every now and then
are okay. My parents allow me that much.
Sure, I have everything a kid could want. All the latest toys and
electronics. But none of it ever comes from my parents' heart.
But then, do they have hearts? I think not.
My dad has this friend of his, I've never met him, but anyway, my
father said his son and I are perfect for each other. My father
and his are talking about having us get married. And I've never
even met him! I bet I will hate his guts. I'm that way. I don't
want to get married to him. Doesn't a girl have a say in who she
marries? I guess not. But I'm not worried. Not at all. I've got
other things to spend my precious time on. And his son is not one
of them.
More later, my sister is getting ready to leave again.
Later...
That was the longest I've ever been shopping. We left at six this
morning and just got back. It is 9:35 p.m. Here is the rest of my
day from where I left off.
After we left the ice cream parlor, we went to get my phials.
Being from the family I was, of course nothing would do but
crystal. While we were there, we got my potions ingredients. I
begged my sister to get me some extra of everything to experiment
with at home, but she flat out refused. Oh well. I would snag
some from her room when she was sleeping. We left and she had
looked over my list for what had to be the hundredth time. I hate
when she keeps reading things over and over.
She went off, having spotted one of her friends, leaving me to
get my robes myself. I walked into Madam Malkin's and waited.
When I was going through the door, I passed a tall, skinny black
haired boy. For an instance I thought I saw a lightning bolt
shaped scar on his forehead. I laughed at myself. It couldn't
possibly be Harry Potter. I got inside, and jumped when I heard a
voice behind me.
"Hogwarts, dear?" Madam Malkin asked me. She was a
rather kind looking witch.
"Yes." I had replied. She led me towards a stool and
started pinning my robes. A blonde boy was on the stool next to
me, clearly almost done.
"What house do you think you'll be in?" He asked me.
"Excuse me?" I asked, not sure if he was talking to me
or not. "Are you talking to me?"
"Yes."
"Oh, well. Slytherin, I hope." I said quietly.
"I want to be in Slytherin, too. I would leave if I was in
Hufflepuff, wouldn't you?"
"Oh, yes. Of course." I don't know why, but my heart
was racing. I seemed to be hanging on to his every word, praying
he would say more. I think I have lost it.
"Draco Malfoy." He gave me his hand to shake, and I
shook it with the arm that wasen't being pinned.
"Chelsea Serene."
"Well, I hope I see you in Slytherin." He grinned.
"You too."
As I left the shop, I must have had a dazed look on my face
because I got some questions from my sister.
Now all that was left was my animal. Kaori asked me which one I
wanted, and I told her I wasen't exactly sure. I mean, I don't
like toads, and I already have a cat, so that leaves an owl,
right? So that's what I got. We left Eeylop's Owl Emporium with a
large barn owl, my favorite of all owls. I'm not sure what I'll
name it. Maybe if I sleep on it I will come up with some ideas.
Night.
