The day went by fast for Harry, his mind kept thinking about his magic, was
he magical? Was he really a wizard? But how could he be, being picked on
all the time by Dudley and his gang. Then being a wizard would be able to
explain a lot of things that happened to him. One time he turned his
teachers hair blue, and another time when Dudley's gang was chasing him, he
found himself on the roof. These were the things that the Dursley's hated
about him, because he always did weird things. The day went by unusually
fast. When he got back into his cupboard to go to bed, he looked at the
letter again; there were two parchments in there.
One read-
Dear Mr. Potter,
To get to buy your school supplies, you will need to go to London Square, in London there will be a small pub, called the leaky cauldron. ONLY WIZARDS CAN SEE IT, but you must be there tomorrow at 10:30 am. The Knight Bus will pick you up at the corner of your street, along with other young witches and wizards.
Yours Sincerely,
Professor M. Mcgonagall Deputy Headmistress
'Tomorrow' thought Harry. He would have to get up quite early, to catch the bus. Then Harry decided that he would read the other parchment tomorrow. And he went to sleep.
The next day, Harry put on his clothes and went down the block, after telling his Aunt and Uncle that he was going to the library. Just when the clock struck 10:30, a violet purple bus stood in front of him. Harry looked behind him, and saw one of Dudley's friends coming towards him, it was Piers Polkiss.
"Potter," he screamed, "hold the bus, hold the bus."
Harry walked in, and just as Piers came on, the door closed, a witch came over to them and asked their names.
"Piers Polkiss."
"Harry Potter"
The witch looked at Harry, and started sturrering.
"Harry Potter, the Harry Potter," she said.
She fell down to her knees and kissed his shoes. Finally she got up, and went to the drivers seat, and took off. The ride was a noisey and bumpy one. Harry sat down next to a bushy haired girl.
"I'm Hermione Granger. I already went to Diagon Alley, but I ran out of books to read. I can already do some magic, want to see."
She said this all very fast.
"Um..sure," said Harry.
"Okay." She pulled out her wand and said "Oculas Reprairo". And Harry's glassed which were half broken, got fixed.
"Cool."
"So what's your name?"
"My name is Harry Potter," he said.
"Harry Potter, I've read all about you, you're in a lot of books."
Suddenly, the bus came to a hault, and there was the leaky cauldron. They went inside, and out into the back, where a wizard had his wand out, and the wall leading to Diagon Alley opened. Shops were everywhere, Harry put his hand in his pocket, and a gold key came out. He heard the girl say to go to Gringotts Bank first. So Harry found it, Gringotts was a big white building, he went inside. He quickly found, a strange looking thing, probably a goblin.
"I need to take some money out please."
"Your key."
"Here," said Harry handing the goblin the golden key.
"GRIPHOOK," he yelled. "Take Mr. Potter down here to his vault."
Harry followed the goblin, and soon he was at his vault, and then left. Diagon Alley was a wonderful place. He knew that he bought more books than were needed, and soon found himself inside a wand shop. The store keeper was already helping somebody. Piers Polkiss. As he left he gave Harry a look. But he did not leave. Harry walked forward.
"Ah, Mr. Potter I wondered when I would be seeing you."
Suddenly, a bright light shot out of Harry and went towards, a bunch of large sticks, it struck one, and the next thing it appeared in Harry's hand. Then a wand burst out of it's cover and floated over to Harry.
"Curious, very curious." But seeing the expression, on Harry's face he explained. "You see, Mr. Potter, the wand you are holding has a brother, and he gave you that scar. And the staff was none other than Godrick Gryffindor's and Merlins. Well, that well ten gold galleons."
He and Piers then left. Harry touched his wand to his staff, and the staff shrank then went into his wand. Harry left Piers and went into Madam Maulkins. While in Madam Maulkins he decided that he would not go back to the Dursley's but stay, at the leaky cauldron. He went into the very back, and asked Madam Maulkin for som eschool robes. Then he went and picked out a pair of red robes and midnight blue robes. Then went back on the stool.
"Hogwarts,' said the boy.
"Yeah," said Harry. "Know what house you'll be in yet."
"No, but my whole family has been in Slytherin. I expect the same. How about you?"
"Well, Gryffindor sounds good, but I bet that they have to live up to a lot. I'll probably be in Ravenclaw or Slytherin."
"So whats your surname?" he asked.
"Potter, Harry Potter. But everybody thinks I'm special why is that."
"Because when you were one you defeated the Dark Lord. But my father hates you, he always saying that the dark lord will rise again, and you will be killed. But I am not like him, I hate muggles, and mud-bloods. But what can I do."
Harry who already knew what the term mud-blood meant, smiled.
"I've lived with muggles my whole life, and most of them are horrible, at least the ones that I lived with."
"That's you done my dear."
And Harry left. He went into the leaky cauldron, and asked for a room, until September 1. The next few weeks went by pretty fast he mastered his wand, and was working with his staff. Until the 1st came. He packed up and flooed over to platform 9 ¾, where he walked through the wall, and found a compartment to put his stuff in. He was there for a few minutes when somebody came in.
