"Marionie hurry yourself! I want to get to this Diagon Alley before it gets too late." Marionie stood in her room trying to decide what to wear. She knew they would be walking through London so she needed to wear muggle clothes but she didn't know which outfit.

"Alright mother, I'm coming. I'll be down in five minutes. MULIC, DID YOU MESS WITH MY WAND TODAY." Marionie picked up her training wand because Mulic took away her actual wand every summer. All the better though, her wand had gotten old she would need a new one.

"Yes miss, I did!" Marionie giggled as she heard Mulic chuckle himself and pointer wand towards her body.

"Alright, clothes please!" Marionie didn't hear the shudder of disapproval when she requested clothes but the wand puffed out its smoke, which cleared quickly allowing Marionie to look in the mirror and gasp in surprise. "AH, THANK YOU MULIC!!!"

Marionie smiled at what she was wearing. It was the pair of kaki colored shorts that she had gotten on a trip to the United States and toped of with a soft blue colored tank top that her cousin Michael had sent her as a birthday gift.

"I thought that would make you happy Mari." Mulic walked in to her bedroom smiling. "Now, what are you going to do to that puff rag?" Marionie immediately saw what he was talking about. Her hair was all knotted from sleep.

"Mulic, my wand wont do my hair!" Marionie looked at him pouting a little bit hoping he would use his wand on her hair.

"No Mari, not this time!" Mulic shook his head at her quite forcefully, if hadn't been attached to his neck it might have flown right off.

"Fine, I'll do it the muggle way!" Marionie pulled a brush off the stand that was close to were she was standing and began brushing her red hair's knots out. 'Well, I'm actually doing a good job.' She thought as she continued to brush her hair noticing that Mulic was laughing. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing miss, you are doing quite a fair job on the rag mop!" Marionie started laughing as she brushed the last knot out and looked at her very frizzy hair.

"Ugg, how do muggles do this every day?!" Marionie pulled a bottle out of a drawer and messaged it through her hair and finally it fell in delicate spiraling red curls. "There, how does that look Mulic?"

"Very nice miss, now hurry, your mother is waiting for you!" Marionie smiling and ran out of her room down the stairs coming to a sliding stop in front of the door to the sitting area. Slowly she pulled on the glass handles opening the big mahogany doors.

"Hello mum, father!" She ran in jumping onto the couch looking at her parents. "When are we leaving?"

"Marionie, dear, you know we don't like it when you do that!" Marionie's father raised his voice just slightly at his daughter.

"Well, what's the point of expensive furniture if you can't have fun with it?" Marionie wasn't afraid to talk back to her parents anymore. They were snotty enough for her, so she might as well be the sane one that wanted a normal life.

Her mother only looked at her and stood up. "Well Marionie, lets go." Her mother was calm, Marionie decided it was only nerves from what had happened when she was a first year at Westminster and shrugged off her fathers raised voiced.

"Alright mum! I'm ready. Do you know how to get in! I do, I read about it. You go through this tavern… oh, what was the name… oh well… then you…"

"Yes Marionie, I know!" Marionie's mother smiled at her. Everyone knew how much Marionie read and could barely tear her away from the books she was reading.

"But mum! I know so much about it… please!" Marionie stomped her foot just barely before she smiled.

"Marionie Kathryn Hearts… don't start with me!" Celia Hearts started laughing as she walked out of the sitting area.

"Alright mum." Marionie ran in front of her. This was like exploring a whole new world from a different person's body and she wasn't going to miss a second of it. "Are we walking?" Marionie pulled on the handles to the door outside but not enough to walk out because her mother grabbed her shoulder.

"Walking? My sweet little daughter, there is no way we can walk to London." Marionie started laughing again and looked at her mother. "Our neighbors brought over some stuff they called Floo Powder."

"You mean the neighbors down the hill?" Marionie was perplexed she never knew that the neighbors had come to visit them.

"Yes, I believe the woman's name was Molly Weasley. Charming lady if I do say so myself. She has five children… let me see, what were their names? Bill, Charley, Percy, Ron, and Ginny. Ron is your age." Marionie's mother smiled warmly and pulled her towards the fireplace. "They are coming for a visit tomorrow."

"Mother, tomorrow? But, my room it's a disaster, and I haven't packed my trunk yet." Marionie dropped her arms to her side.

"Marionie, you don't have anything to pack in your trunk right now. Mulic has put a cleaning charm on your room so I will be clean when we return home. Don't worry." Marionie's mother reached for a small bag and pulled some sort of powder out. "Now, Molly says to throw this in and say where you want to go!"

"Oh no, I'm not walking into that fire mum! No way!" Marionie put her arms up defensively but received a stern look. "Alright, alright." She took the powder. "Where do I go?"

"She said to say 'The Leaky Cauldron' and to say it very clearly." Celia thought it over in her mind and apparently agreed to what she had said.

"Alright." Marionie threw the powder in the fire and walked into the flames, which actually felt quite cool. "THE LEAKY CAULDRON" It seemed like she had just said it when she rolled out into a tavern and was joined by her mother. She looked around at the people who didn't seem like they had even noticed them.

"Hey, you're Marionie Hearts aren't you?" Marionie stood up and spun around in a complete 180 and looked at the person talking to her. "I don't have your name confused do I?"

"No, that's me. You're Mikaila aren't you?" Marionie blinked, 'Duh, it's Mikaila you dweeb, she's the only one here that knows you.'

"Yep. First time using Floo Powder I see." Mika pointed to a couple of scratches on Marionie's arm.

"Oh, yes. Mum got it from Molly Weasley…" Marionie shrugged her shoulders. "It was fun to try it but now my arm hurts a little bit."

"Oh, why was Mrs. Weasley at your house?" Mika asked just as a pale looked boy snickered from a corner.

"Avalon, leave the poor girl alone. You mudblood." The boy stood up from the table he was sitting at with what must have been his father and walked towards them. "I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."

"Malfoy, if I could I would curse you from here to 6th year." Marionie got the feeling that Draco and Mika didn't really get along.

"I'd like to see you try, you mudblood." Draco sneered at Mika and looked back towards Marionie. "I've never seen you before, what year are you?"

"I'm a third year and I kindly ask you to stop calling my friend here a mudblood." Marionie looked at the boys outstretched hand and didn't take it.

"Did you say Malfoy young man?" Marionie turned around and looked at her mother who had walked up behind them.

"Yes, I am Draco Malfoy, son on Lucius Malfoy." Draco smiled smugly at Marionie's mother.

"You're Lucius' son? Is your father here?" Celia looked around the tavern expectedly.

"Yes ma'am, he's right over there." Draco pointed to a booth and Marionie watched as her mother tapped the man on the shoulder and only caught a few words.

"Lucius, what kept you from visiting?" The man stood up.

"Hello Celia." He nodded politely and looked over at Marionie. "I see my second cousin has hair like yours."

"I'M WHAT?" Draco started laughing satanically.

"Oh, Marionie I didn't tell you? Lucius is my cousin. That makes Draco yours." Before Marionie could say a word Draco had her by the arm and was pulling her with him.

"Come cousin, get away from that mudblood." Marionie looked at Mika who was staring after them.
