Rena loved airplanes. She had been traveling on them since she was 3.
Today she was sad, though, because she wanted to stay. She only got to say
goodbye to her friends in a few minutes, because her departure was rushed.
Rena didn't know how she was going to carry her lizards until her father
produced a large cage and placed an enchantment on them so their wings were
invisible to Muggles.
The lizards weren't too happy about this, since it was their first airplane flight. Rena had to soothe the lizards through the bars of the cage after take-off. Rena sighed after she was done. This was going to be a long flight, especially if the ride was bumpy.
After 10 hours of scared flying lizards, Rena finally got off the plane. At least they didn't start to make a lot of noise, and they seemed to realize they shouldn't hum. About halfway through they fell asleep, but woke back up after the plane went through a turbulent air stream, shaking the airliner. Their screechings had woken up half of the plane before she could shush them.
Once in Britain, Rena had to follow her mother and father through a confusing maze of streets before coming to a small pub names "The Leaky Cauldron." She ducked inside and let out her lizards after asking permission from her parents. Inside, the pub was as shabby as it looked from the outside. The scent of alcohol was in the air. Although she was allowed to drink sometimes, Rena hated the taste of alcohol.
Tiamat and Bahamut flew across the room, attracting lots of attention. Many heads turned her way as Kaze fluttered to her shoulder. Eva moved forward and asked the bartender, "Where is the Ministry building?"
The crowd resumed talking, deciding the visitors weren't that interesting. The man pointed to the back door. "From the waste bin, two up and three across will get you to Diagon Alley," he said. Seeing her blank look, he added, "Bricks, I mean. Tap it three times with your wand. Ministry building's past Gringotts a little ways."
Eva began to bow, but stopped herself and smiled. "Thank you." She then grabbed her things and walked to where he pointed, leaving Chris and Rena to follow her. Shaking her head, Rena whistled at the lizards and walked out.
The Ministry building proved to be very beautiful. It was white marble and very clean looking. Rena liked Diagon Alley, and hoped to explore it more later. Her father would probably open a shop for some of the magical creatures he had found in his journey. Most of which he had been able to smuggle on the plane, but he had to go back for a few later.
Rena lived on the fifth floor in a large condo complete with two bedrooms, one smaller one for her, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a living room. Rena didn't mind it being cramped, because she was used to it by now.
The three lizards made themselves at home. Rena volunteered to do shopping, if Eva unpacked her things. Chris immediately looked through all of his cages and crates to make sure nothing was left behind. He was obsessed about his creatures.
Walking through Diagon Alley was very fun. She had brought her school list along in order to get the extra supplies she needed. Bahamut had followed her, not wanting to stay back and settle in like his sisters. His flashing silver scales attracted the attention of more than a few students that went to Hogwarts.
Rena preferred to be silent, so she was able to hear many things from other customers. Mostly they were about a man called Sirius Black, who escaped a wizard prison. Rena had heard rumors about Black being a Voldemort supporter, but she never really believed them. Her parents had made Black sound like a bogeyman out to get naughty children.
She had gone into the book shop, Flourish and Blotts, to get her course books. She had decided on Care of Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies, since she knew a great deal about both and though she would do well in them.
