Chapter 3 The Quidditch Shop

It was coming to be that time of the year when children around the UK would be getting their letter from Hogwarts. The air out side was getting to be mild and owls where sent to flight. Hermoine got her letter on a Tuesday from a young owl after Zach had made them both breakfast. She had been writing back to Ron and Harry all summer and the moment she got her letter she wrote two letters to tell Harry and Ron about receiving her Acceptance letter.

Zach was new to the whole letter thing, in America you just went to school with a parent and signed in. Plus he had no idea about what the houses where. US Witch and Wizard schools where like public muggle schools. You show up in the morning and go home after school. Plus he had no idea how he was going to get on a house Quidditch team. He spent most of his time in his little room reading Hogwarts, A History, which he borrowed from Hermoine.

When Zach's letter did come in it was the day that they where all going to go down to Diagon Alley to get supplies as they left the door an old mangy looking owl that was molting dropped it on the grangers yard and slowly flew off. He opened it and read it

To Mr. Zach Buckley Your Application has been accepted To Hogwarts school of Witch ad Wizardry. You are a special case and when you arrive after the sorting for the first years and the feast come to see Headmaster Albus Dumbledore to get sorted into your house. I hope you now know of the four houses and the rules. Here is a list of supplies you will need. He stopped reading there and looked at Hermoine's list same stuff, only she had 3 extra classes. He wasn't worried about the supplies yet he didn't know what most of them where. Hermoine was very excited and couldn't wait to see Harry and Ron, the last time she saw them was at the train station after getting off the Hogwarts Express. 'Oh god I wonder if they notice I've changed.' She said to herself, she had become a little more woman like now with a better figure then most girls.

It took them a half hour to get to the secret alley where you entered Diagon. Zach stared at the blank wall wondering why they had led him to a dead end it was silent for several moments until he broke the silence, "Uh. what are we doing?" Hermoine just looked at him and remembered he was new to Britain's Magical Status. "Oh sorry, pay attention and ill show you how to get in here." Hermoine said as she stood next to the wall rearranging bricks until it was complete, when the last brick was put in place the wall clicked and then glowed. Zach just watched in awe as the bricks moved to make a perfect archway to another alley.

They walked down the other alley for about a minute and a half until they walked into an opening to the street. Hermoine giggled as she saw Zach's mouth drop the sights and sounds of what he saw where almost too much for him. Never had Zach been around so many Wizards, Witches and creatures. Hermoine just sat their for a second to take it all in until she spotted a certain red headed person. "Ron!" she called out loudly to get over the crowd, Ron who was walking away at the time turned around and gave that goofy smile of his.

Ron who had been spending the summer with Potter staying over at the burrow playing Quidditch had grown a little more than from last year. He was the same size as potter and an inch or two smaller then Zach. He ran as fast as he could towards Hermoine almost tripping steps away from him. Ron paused about a step away from them and stuck out his hand, Hermoine then stuck out her hand and shook it (they never hug). After the hand- shake it was just a barrage of questions to each other, what did you do this summer? Did you meet anyone special? Then Ron saw Zach was just standing there and asked, "Who the hell is this bloke?" Hermoine took a second to see who he was talking about, " Oh sorry, Ron this is Zach." Zach just nodded his head up and Ron did the same.

"So where is Harry?" Hermoine said looking around. Ron pointed then said, "He went to the Quidditch shop with Fred and George." Zach's eyes brightened up, "Quidditch shop? Where?" Ron was surprised, "He's a bloody yank, wow first time I've met a yank." By that time Zach was already entering the door at the shop across the street. "Well I suppose we should go find Harry." Hermoine said trying to keep an eye on Zach. Ron just smiled and nodded at her.

While in the shop Zach got to see a prototype for the fastest broom, the Fire Bolt. When he saw that broom he just about died. He only had an American T- Hoppers one of the crappiest brooms in the world. It was fast but it didn't last long in quality. He was left with enough money from the insurance to get maybe one broom, his books and a new wand that he desperately needed. By this time Ron and Hermoine had entered the shop and after knocking down a display of snitch gloves they where talking to a boy with a mop top of hair and glasses.

Zach walked over to introduce himself when he got there he knew it was Harry right off from the description from Hermoine, "Hi I'm Zach ." he said in a quick spurt holding out his hand. "Oh hi I'm Harry, pleasure to meet you. Hermoine told me about you." Harry said shaking his hand. They talked for an hour at the shop, mostly about Quidditch (Hermoine had no part in it). Until Hermoine's mother came and broke the chatting up "Moine, dear we have to go get the rest of your stuff. Zach are you going to stay here while we get your stuff?" Zach responded quickly, "I'll just buy a broom and I'll go with you." he looked at a Nimbus 2000 and decided to buy it.

They shopped for several hours before they decided to go home carrying books and a new broom. Zach had got himself a new wand and had spotted a message falcon at the pet shop. Hermoine was so tired in the car that she almost instantly fell asleep. She had the weirdest dream, it was set at the Gryffindor common. Zach was there and it was late and he was just looking into her eyes not saying anything. She woke startled by Zach who had awoken her when they got to the granger residence. She avoided Zach for the rest of the day.

Dang that wasn't the greatest writing but bare with me, I have a bad case of writers block. He next chapter is going to be even better. It involves Draco, Crabb and Goyle on the Hogwarts Express. Thanks for reading.
