Chapter 7: Diagon alley
The next day, they all went into diagon alley to get everyone's stuff. Everyone pitched in to get Avalon her stuff. They met up with the weasley's at the leaky cauldron "Hey Fred, George!" Harry said as they all walked up to the weasley's. "Hey Harry. who's she?" Fred asked smiling at Avalon. "She's Avalon. she going to hogwarts this year." Ron explained. "Heyllo madam." George said as he bowed down, but Fred hit his head and George fell to the ground with a thud and Fred curtsied. But then George tripped Fred and he fell on top of George. Everyone began to laugh as the twins got up."Hi. I'm George." Fred said. "And I'm Fred." George said. "No. wait. I'm George and that's Fred. "George said crossing his arms and pointing one at him and the other at Fred. "I'm avalon." Avalon replied still laughing. "Is it just me or does everyone seem to like Avalon?" Harry whispered to Ron.
"Why do you say that?" Ron asked looknig at Avalon. "My aunt and uncle liked her, hermionie likes her, her parents like her, professor dumbledore likes her, Fred and George seem to like her, I like her, and even YOU like her!" Harry shouted getting angry. "I thikn there's just playing with her. Look." Ron explained poiting to Fred handing Avalon what looked like a ton- tounge tofee. Before Harry could react, Avalon grabbed something quite similar from her pocket and held them both up. "Look! I have one of these! See? But they're called warheads. very sour. Wanna try it?" Avalon asked. But then she dropped them both and then went down and grabbed them. She handed one of them to Fred who opened it snickering. Then Avalon opened hers. They both popped it into there mouths at the same time. Harry looked freaked of what would happen to Avalon, but nothing happened. Instead of her tongue growing 3 feet long, Fred's did! "So that's what it was!" Avalon shouted astonished as she looked at Fred struggling to hold his tongue. George chanted something and it went back to normal.
"Hello I'm molly, Ron's mother, and this is aurther, ginny, my daughter, and percy, charlie, and bill are my sons besides Ron. How are you dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked kindly. "I'm fine thanks. it's nice to meet you." Avalon smiled. "No wonder everyonel ike her Harry. she's too nice. She's practically weak, anyone could hurt her, and she would cry so hard." Ron stated. Harry started to think about that.
Then walked through the hole and came into diagon alley. Avalon awed in amazment as she stared at everyone and everything that she passed. They first went into gringotts to get money to buy everything they needed. When they walked up the vast steps into gringotts, there were two goblins on both sides of the huge doors. And on the doors read in silver lettering:
Enter, stranger, but take heed Of what awaits the sin of greed, For those who take, but do not earn, Must pay most dearly in their turn. So if you seek beneath our floors A treasure that was never yours, Theif, you have been warned, beware Of finding more than treasure there.
"Wow. nice poem." Avalon smiled as she looked at one of the goblins ans told him that. The goblin didn't move. He just stood there not even blinking. After they all read the warning, they al lwalked in. there were little goblins everywhere, and people. They all got out there keys and showed one of the goblins people. Then they all got into carts and went rolling down twisted passageways, and then finnaly stopped at a halt at Harry's vault. He opened it and grabbed some money, a little more than usual to help Avalon buy her things, then he shut it and they were off to the weasleys. After they got to the weasley's, they went to the grangers. After they were done with gringotts, they went to madam malkin's robes for all ocasions to buy Avalon some robes. Since the other had robes from last year that were still in good use, they didn't buy any. Al lthe weasley's except for Ron went to the apothecary for potion stuff, while the grangers, Harry, Ron, and avalon went the other direcection.
Then next they went to ollivanders to look at wands. They were gong to see if Avalon could have potentialness to use a wand. Before they had a chance to walk into the place, hagig came callign from the bookstore. He came strolling over. He was half giant, and the gamekeeper at hogwarts. He was expelled in his 3rd year there for something he didn't do. After he was right next to them, he glanced down at avlaon. "Heyllo there. don' s'pose I know yer." he explained looking at her. "Hi! I'm Avalon!" Avalon said smiling. "Hullo. my name is Hagrid. yer going ter hogwarts? I haven' seen yer aroun' here before." Hagrid noticed. "How old are yer? 15? 16?" hagrid asked. "15. you haven't seem me around is because this is my first time here. see. I'm not really a witch. But very facinated. professor dumbledore is lettign me come to hogwarts this year. Can't wait! I'm bout to get a wand! A REAL wand!" Avalon said, her eyes glittering.
"Really? Yer a muggle!?" hagrid asked surprised. "That's cool. well, I'll see you aroun' then. bye." Hagrid said walking off. "Bye hagrid! Nice meeting you!" Avalon said kindly waving fiercly. "Wow! A little giant! This place is so cool." Avalon thought as they all cramed into ollivanders. "Hello." Mr. Ollivander stated as he walked up to the bunch. "Hello. we're here to get Avalon a wand. but she's not a witch... And we were wondering if she is capable of one." Mr. Granger explained pleasantly. "A muggle huh. never had one of those. let's see. Whose avalon?" Mr. Ollivander asked.
"I'm avalon." Avalon said hertily as she walked forward. "Yes. miss avalon. If you would... raise your right hand towards me if you would." Mr. Ollivander explained. Avalon raised her right arm with astonishment after what happened next. A little round cold instrument started to wrap around Avalon's arm from her wrist to her shouder by itself. Then it immeaditally let go and flew to Mr. Ollivander's hand. Then he took some blue powder from his pocket and threw on the floor that completely hid Avalon in dark blue smoke. After the smoke had cleared, Avalon was coughing non-stop waving her hand. On her hand laid a yellow star. But it instantly disappeared. "What does all this stuff mean?" Avalon asked trying to not cough as much.
"It means. you have the potential of becoming a witch if you work on it. In faxct you have practically been one all your life. But something needs to snap before you will be able to use it. but we should beable to get you a wand now, but I'm going to have to ask professor dumbledore to ask one of the teachers to help release your power. now if you owlud. please step on the stool for we can measure you." Mr. Ollivander explained. Avalon stood on the little wooden stool as a measureing tape flew from a drawer and became to measure Avalon from every angle. After about 2 minutes, it stopped and fell on the floor. Then Mr. Ollivander started to pick up some wand and tol Avalon to hold them. But one second after Avalon had grasp on the wand; Mr. Ollivander took it away from her.
"Every ollivander wand has a core of a powerful magical substance, miss Avalon. We use unicorn hairs, phoenix tail feathers, and the heartstrongs of dragons. No two-ollivander wands are alike, just as two unicorns, dragons, phoenixs are the same. But some wands have unicorn or or and dragon blood, but there's aren't that many. And the people that the wand chose have become very great witches and wizards. hAnd of course, you will never get such a good result with another person's wand." Mr. Ollivander explained. Avalon nodded at every word. "See. you don't really choose the wand. It choses you." He added smiling. "Here. try this one. It has unicorn hair and a dragon's heartstrong. 9 inches long, and stiff." Mr. Illivander stated as he gave Avalon another wand. But a second later, after waving it, he snatched it away. "Hm. try this one! Holly with phoenix and a single unicorn hair. 11 inches. Supple and nice." Mr. Ollivander said handing Avalon another one.
After Avalon had tried which thought about 1,000 wands to her, one finally worked as pink and blue sparks shot out of it. It was a 10-inch wand with a unicorn hair, phonix feather, a dragon heartstring, with a peck of dragon and unicorn. A highly unusal combination. "Grand job. Finally. But highly unusual for a muggle.. For a wand has never chosen a muggle born witch or wizard. this is facinating." Mr. Ollivander chimed. "I did it!" avalon shouted jumping up and down on the stool, but imeaditally stumbled and fell onto the floor as the stool rolled to the people's feet that just opened the door. It was Mr. Malfoy and his son Draco malfoy. Avalon suddenly gasped as she sat there on the floor gaping at Mr. Malfoy. "What are looking at brat?" Mr. Malfoy sneered. Malfoy glanced at Harry, Ron, and hermionie and sneered then glanced over at malfoy and grinned. He walked up to her and helped her up. As Avalon was dusting off her pants, Harry wanted to punch malfoy in the nose for what he did .he kissed avalon on her hand as he introdused him to her.
"Hello. I am Draco malfoy. and whom may this lovely flower be?" he asked in a kind, but evil voice. "My name is Avalon." Avalon replied trying to take her hand away from him. "So now you're selling wands to full muggles?" Mr. Malfoy suddenly asked. "No.. only to miss Avalon sir. professor dumbledore had informed me eariler that she was supposed to arrive and she is going to hogwarts." Mr. Ollivander explained. "I see. worser than mud-bloods." Mr. Malfoy sneered as he looked at hermionie then back at Mr. Ollivander. But then he glanced over at Avalon, who was glaring at him with what look like anger. "What ARE you looking at brat!" Mr. Malfoy asked again. "Please. Mr. Malfoy. Not in my store." Mr. Ollivander explained. "I will be with you two in a minute. Who is paying for the wand?" Mr. Ollivander asked looking at the grangers. "I Am." Harry said at last opeing his pouch. "That'll be 10 galleons." Mr. Ollivander explained standing behind his cash register.
"Got enough money potter? Or shall I buy it for her. I wouldn't mind." Malfoy grinned. Harry was getting mad, but he took out 10 galleons and handed it to mr. Ollivander. Mr. Ollivander handed Avalon her new wand, and then instantly, Avalon swung her arms around Harry's neck and hunged him. "Thanks Harry!" she chimed as dhe let go. "Sure." Harry replied smiling. He was going red, so he left quickly so malfoy couldn't see. The others followed as they left. "Now. we need to go to the book store and get all yoour books. " Mrs. Grander explained as they all approached flourish and blotts book store. They al lwalked in and got there books and got out quickly after. After they got everything, they soon left diagon alley and headed home there separate ways. "See you at the train dear!" mrs. Weasley called as Ron left with the grangers, Harry, and Avalon. "Ok mom!" Ron called back. "Not you! Avalon!" mrs. Granger hissed. "Bye mrs. Weasley!" avalon chimed. "Betrayed by my own mother." Ron muttered.
The next day, they all went into diagon alley to get everyone's stuff. Everyone pitched in to get Avalon her stuff. They met up with the weasley's at the leaky cauldron "Hey Fred, George!" Harry said as they all walked up to the weasley's. "Hey Harry. who's she?" Fred asked smiling at Avalon. "She's Avalon. she going to hogwarts this year." Ron explained. "Heyllo madam."
