Diaclaimer:Nope, don't own anything.
*~*Chapter 2:Dreams at Diagon Alley*~*
Harry Potter, the boy who lived, was used to having strange dreams at night. But, the ones he usually had were frightening or painful. Strangely, this one was not.
*~*Dream Sequence*~*
He found himself on the roof of a strange buliding. He wasn't in London, as his first suspected. In fact, now that he was positive it wasn't London, he didn't know where he was. The city he was in sparkled in the night sky. He looked across to the roof in front of him, and saw a figure, standing in front of the moon.
The figure turned to him. He could not see the face, only the eyes. Those bright green eyes stared at him playfully. She carried a long staff with a star at the top. He could tell it was a girl. She smiled at him brightly and waved. He waved back, not sure of he was supposed to or not. Two more figures appeared beside the girl. Both were boys, he could tell by the sturdy outlines. One, carried a long, flashing sword and had piercing amber eyes. His eyes flashed at him for a moment before he started to watch the other boy come forward.The other wore glasses and had soft, violet eyes. He held a staff similar to the one the girl carried, except, his had the sun and the moon instead of a star.
Now that the three had come together, the girl took out a deck of long cards. She held them out to the boys as the cards started to glow. They flew into the air and started to dance around the three figures. The girl laughed as Harry heard a voice calling his name.
"Harry...Harry..." He turned around and saw a beautiful woman standing brfore him. She had a soft golden light around her and long flowing hair. She spoke to him, even though her mouth did not move.
"Protect my Little Star, Harry Potter....Protect my Little Star...."
*~*End Dream Sequence*~*
Harry slowly opened his eyes and stared at the roof of his room. *That was a really strange dream...'Protect my Little Star.....?' What is that supposed to mean?* He shook his head and got out of bed. It was time for him to get out of bed anyway. He stared out the window and watched as Diagon Alley slowly started to wake up. He had arrived at Diagon Alley a week prior because he couldn't stand to be at his Aunt and Uncle's house any longer. He had gotten a ride on the Knight Bus. His friends, Hermione and Ron had arrived yesterday.
Shop keepers opened the doors to welcome a new day, the owls in the shop(forgot its name) settled down for a day of rest. He yawned and put his clothes on. Those girl's green eyes kept on dancing through his head. *She had pretty eyes...* He shook the thought from his head and got ready to go "shopping. "Heh. Maybe if I dress fast enough, I'll be able to annoy Ron. Hee hee!" He ran down the hall to Ron's room and pounded on the door playfully. "Ron! Time to get up!!"
*~*Later that day*~*
"Harry, want to go look at the brooms? I'm really bored." Harry shook his head.
"No, I'm a bit hungry myself. Besides, your parents are supposed to pick us up at the ice cream parlour, right? Today is September first." Ron sighed.
"Fine, but you pay." Hermione looked at the books in the bookstore window as they passed.
"Oooohh. I need to buy that book! It's a book about advanced Arithmancy! That would really help me in my class!! See you two later!" and with that, Hermione Granger ran off to Flourish and Blots. Harry and Ron stared at her.
"Honestly! That woman will never stop untill she buys every book in London! Well, come on Harry. Harry?" But Harry wasn't listening. Instead, he was staring at a brown haired girl with emerald green eyes in the bookstore.
"Those eyes..." Ron started to get really annoyed.
"HARRY POTTER!!!!" Harry snapped out of his daze and glared at his friend angrily.
"Do you mind? I'm doing something important." He looked back into the store, but the girl was gone. Ron stared at him in amazement.
"I will never understand you. What in the name of bloody hell were you looking at?" Harry didn't answer. He just shrugged it off and walked to the parlour.
"Just come on. It was nothing."
*~*~*
Sakura, Li, and Eriol had already gotten their money from Gringotts and were waiting as Mr. Featherbottom, the ministry officer that had picked them up that morning, bought their books and supplies. "I can't beleave Clow Reed went to Hogwarts. That must mean it's a good school!" Sakura said. Eriol smiled at her.
"Yah, and it's a good thing that he left us all a "little" something for our stay." Actually the "little" something was three seperate vaults, each filled to the top with mounds of coins. Mr. Featherbottom had returned and handed them each three small bags.
"There. All you will need at Hogwarts, except for your pets and wands. Just use an Engorgement charm to get them back to normal size. Shall we go now?" He scurried off with the trio behind him. Li scowled at the ministry officer.
"Ugh. This guy is worse than my Aunt Rebecca." Sakura laughed.
"Syaoran! That wasn't nice!" He blushed, but continued to grumble about what a moron they had gotten stuck with.
They arrived at Olivanders and all got their wands(Sakura:13 inches Unicorn hair. whippy. Li:14 inches dragon heartstring. stiff. Eriol: 11 and a half inches, dragon heartstring. pliable. Sorry. I'm just getting sleepy and don't want to get into the whole Olivander's thing.).
Next, they went to get owls. Sakura found a pretty female horned owl and named her Reed, after Clow Reed of course! Her owl's eyes had reminded her of him, hense the name. Syaoran got a large male barn owl that didn't seem to like him at all. His owl had tried to nibble Syaoran's finger as a sign of friendship, but Li took it the wrong way and thought that it was going to bite him. Sakura named his owl Kero because their relationship was like Syaoran and Kero's relationship, not a very good one. Eriol, however found a beautiful black owl with amber eyes and named him Clow, after the Clow cards. Also, because it looked like Clow Reed, owl form! Mr. Featherbottom then shoved them into a car and drove off to King's Cross Station. He lead them through the barriar (which Sakura fell through in a clatter) and waited with them untill the train left, some 10 minutes later.
Meanwhile, Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys were rushing through King's cross in an effort to get on the train. "Hurry up! Hurry up! The train leaves in five minutes!! Come on!!" Mr. Weasley pushed them all through the barrier and then shoved the children, trunks and all, into the last compartment of the train. Harry removed his glasses to clean them off as Hedwig and Pigwidgeon screeched loudly.
"Alright already!! Be quiet! I'll let you out later!" he shouted at the two birds. The twins grabbed their trunks and headed down the train.
"Lee Jordan invited us to stay in his compartment. See ya Harry!" they called as they pushed their trunks down the narrow hallway. Finally, after ten, long minutes, the small space was quiet. Harry was staring out the window, imagining about what this year at Hogwarts had waiting for him. Ron and Ginny were playing Exploding Snap as Hermione watched over the rim of her book. The train had already left the station and was now on route to Hogwarts.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~~~~~~
Welp. Done with that! Sorry if this chapter seems all rushed and stuff. I just wanted to get them on the train as fast as I could, and I realize that it feels rushed. There is alot of errors I bet, but I don't care. The next chapter is called, "In the train compartment." You better get ready!
