All for the best
Chapter 4
The following morning, Harry was so excited he couldn't even eat.
"Come on Harry, you've got to eat something. We have a big day ahead of us," said Elliot cheerfully, passing Harry some toast.
"Where are you guys going?" asked a little girl.
"Why can't we come?" asked another little girl.
"Because you would be bored. All we're doing is getting school supplies. Come on Harry, we should get going now."
"Alright. Just let me get my key," said Harry with a mouthful of toast. He rushed back to his bed and got his key and letter.
"All set?" asked Elliot, who was already outside.
"Sure am!" said Harry, who couldn't wait to leave.
"Watch out then," said Elliot. He then stuck out his left arm. A giant bus appeared out of nowhere.
"Good day to you. My name is Albert Sickling, conductor of the Knight Bus. Where to?" A balding man greeted them, and he looked very tired, as if he had been driving all night. But nevertheless, he looked very happy to see them.
"We need to go to London. How much will that cost?" Asked Elliot, rummaging through a little blue bag.
"Well, depends. This is the two of you?"
"Yes. We need to go to Diagon Alley to get our things for Hogwarts."
"I see. What year are you two?"
"Well, I'm a second year, and my friend Harry here is a first year."
"Good lord! Can it be? Is that Harry Potter? My word, it is Harry Potter! So nice to meet you sir!" He held out his hand, and Harry shook it.
"Er, nice to meet you, too." Harry didn't know what to make of it. He had no idea he was this famous, that even bus drivers knew his name.
"So, how much will it be? We are in a bit of a hurry."
"Oh right, sorry. Well, seeing as how you two need school supplies, and this is Harry's first trip to the magical world and all, it's on me. Get in, you two!" Albert had completely forgot Elliot was even there.
"Thanks, sir! I'll be right back; I'm going to get my trunk. I think we'll stay at the Leaky Cauldron and just tell the caretakers that the term is starting early this year." Elliot raced back to the orphanage, and arrived 5 minutes later with a big trunk.
"All set? Here we go." With that, Albert closed the door and they set off.
"Elliot, how long will it take us to get to this Diagon Alley place?"
"Not long at all. In fact, I believe we're already there!"
"Alright, here you are. London England. Need help with that trunk?"
"No, thanks, I'm fine."
"Well, nice meeting you two. Have fun at Hogwarts!"
"We will, sir, we will." With that, Harry and Elliot stepped off of the Knight Bus and onto the streets of London.
"Elliot, are you sure we're in the right place? This doesn't look right." Harry looked around… There was a few book stores and a music store.
"Of course we are, come on, in here." He opened up a door to a little pub Harry hadn't even noticed and they stepped inside. "Welcome to the Leaky Cauldron, Harry!"
