But then she finds it's not Harry she's falling for… It's Ron!! Hogwarts has many new choices in store for young Cassidy. Never has she had tasks so difficult as this.
A/N: Cassidy visits Diagon Alley for the first time, and discovers the amazement of it all

The Slythindor
Ch 1: Diagon Alley
Early morning, Cassidy Crow was awakened by a loud 'thump' on her bedroom window. 'What the-' she sat up quickly, and rushed over to the window. A large tawny owl sat on the roof with an envelope in its beak. Cassidy opened the window to let in the tattered bird. 'Oh, you poor thing', Cassidy cooed, setting the pathetic creature down on her desk, and picking up the envelope. It was addressed to her father. Cassidy looked at the owl. 'You must've gotten lost. Dad's not here today. It's his first day of work.' she explained. 'But you have come a long way.' she continued, looking at the return address.
The Office of Mr. A. Weasley
Ministry of Magic
'You were very close to your destination when you set off. That's too bad.' Cassidy put the envelope on her desk. 'Weasley, eh? Well, I'll have you take this letter back to the Ministry. You'll find the office of Mr. Crow somewhere around there. But let me write a quick note explaining that you got lost. Then you'll be on your way.' Cassidy checked the time. 8:15. "Mum'll be up soon." she thought. "I gotta get this owl back on the job, then we can go to Diagon Alley!"
And so she wrote a quick excuse note for the owl, sent him on his way, got dresses, and practically flew downstairs for breakfast. Mrs. Crow was already up making waffles. 'Is all your stuff together?' she asked.
'Yes, mum. Are we leaving right after breakfast?'
'Yes dear, we are. I wonder how your father's doing at his first day of work.'
'I got a letter this morning from someone working at the Ministry. It was for dad, so I sent the lost owl back.'
'Oh. How strange. An owl getting lost! It must've been a very young one.'
'I guess.' Cassidy replied, gulping down a glass of juice then stuffing waffles in her mouth. Mrs. Crow looked at her daughter, and said thoughtfully,
'Because you're in such a rush to go, let's have breakfast on the way, shall we?' Cassidy smiled.
'Okay!' so they left the kitchen, eating whatever they grabbed off the table at the last minute, and went to the fireplace. Mrs. Crow picked up a handful of floo powder, and Cassidy did the same. Then, one by one, they shouted the words "Diagon Alley", threw down the floo powder, and ended up in Diagon Alley.
Cassidy had travelled by floo powder loads of times. But she'd never been in Diagon Alley before. Cassidy looked around, amazed by the new place. Young witches and wizards, some accompanied by parents, some by friends, all hurrying about the market place from shop to shop, creating a big colourful collage of fascination. Cassidy didn't know where to begin.
'Come along, Cassidy', her mother said. 'we need to get you your supplies for school. Quickly now, hurry!'
Cassidy didn't know why her mum was in such a rush. If she wanted her out of the house that soon, why didn't she just say so?
'Here', said Mrs. Crow, handing her daughter a piece of parchment. 'this is a list of the books you'll need, and…', she paused to count some money. 'here's how much you'll need. Okay, go on then, hurry!' and she shoved her into the bookstore Flourish and Blotts. "Seriously." Cassidy thought. "Why IS she so rushed?"
But she found out as soon as she left Flourish and Blotts with the largest pile of books she could carry.
'Surprise!' her mother's voice said.
'Huh?' Cassidy poked her head around the tall pile of books she was carrying, and nearly dropped them all. 'Oh, wow!', she squealed. 'my very own owl! No way! He's mine? Really? Thanks so much mum!!' Cassidy squealed again, looking the beautiful barn owl over. He was a rather good size, white with flecks of black, and a black outlined, heart-shaped face. This was amazing. Now she could send mail by her very owl pet owl!
