Chapter 2 Unexpected or Cliché?
Amie Lee looked to her right, and then to her left. Those voices.
"Like oh my gosh, I still can't believe Tee dumped him Jenna Boke." said a fat girl.
"I know, Heather, like really." said a girl with a pig snout nose.
"Oh my fucking gosh." Amie Lee exclaimed. "I knew this was going to be horrible,"
The two girls from before, Jenna B, with the pig snout nose, and Heather, the girl who was overweight and the one who Amie Lee had made fun a couple of days back, were sitting right there in a three seat row.
The two girls noticed Amie Lee's outrage and looked at her, plainly pissed and mad. Amie looked at her ticket, seat 9, row 8. Then she looked up above the empty seat beside the two girls, and the numbers matched her ticket.
Amie Lee's mouth fell open, she had to sit on this flight with those two. Heather porker, and Pig Snout Jenna, she thought to herself as she sat down. The two girls looked in discuss and began smiling at each other at once. Amie Lee could only imagine all their plans for this flight.
The two girls looked at Amie Lee, thinking, she was wearing spike bracelets, spike necklaces, and she was wearing a lot of earrings, and then had on another black tank top saying "Hatebreed" on it along with some black guy shorts, and a black skull belt.
"Hey, like, what's up with all of the spikes." Heather porker asked.
"Ya, and all of the black clothes, you bitch." Jenna Pig snout added on.
Amie Lee simply pretended to ignore them, even though she wanted to outburst, but it was a plane, no such action would be very good on such tight security. The girls noticing that Amie Lee had not responded sniggered with anger.
"Why are you on a flight to England anyways, shouldn't you be off to your boarding school? " Heather asked, and muttered, "Freak" under her breath.
"I'm on an exchange program for having ma-, er, academic excellence, ya that's it." She smiled innocently.
"Your not serious, you, little bitch, punk, snot, goth, going on an exchange program. Not to mention that's stupid because you are. Who ever did that must have made a mistake or been smoking more than a couple of grams. of weed to themselves."
"That's what I said, " muttered Amie Lee.
"And also to mention that we are going to England for an exchange program, too."
Amie Lee looked up, she thought to herself, 'what if.........-no, they aren't witches, they aren't the other exchange people, that the school was talking about, besides, I thought they were gonna be from my school, too. No, this is stupid, I'm just pissed because of them being here and Crimson and Mage not being here.'
"Have you two ever heard of the word muggle?" Amie Lee asked.
The two girls looked at them. "No," Both replied.
Amie Lee slouched back into her chair, so glad that it wasn't them, but still, who could these other exchange students be? She decided she would find out in time, when they would have to report the Prefect compartment on the "Hogwarts Express".
Amie Lee began to feel sleepy as the flight attendant stood up front with a microphone attached to her repulsively cheery face.
"Good morning." said the cheery flight attendant, " This is flight 146, Regina to London, England, so if you are on the wrong flight, please leave now. If any emergencies happen, then the exits are located, here and here", the flight attendant gestured to her left and right, " and air masks are located in the top box above your seat, and air sick bags are located in the pouch on the seat behind you. If you feel uncomfortable at anytime, or need assistance, please be sure to ask any of the attendants for help. And lastly that we will be taking off soon and to please remain seated and buckled for the entire take off. A light will appear here," guesturing to the red light about her, "thank you."
Amie Lee thanked the Lord that it was over, for the flight attendant had a Barbie feel to her voice that was torture to Amie Lee's ears.
Everyone settled into their seats as the plane began to take off, Amie Lee looked to the people beside her, both looked frightened, and which was sweet sight for Amie Lee's eyes.
Amie tilted her head to the side to fall asleep, and fall asleep she did.............
**************************************************************************** ******
Amie Lee awoke with a start, she looked at her surroundings come into focus. She saw grey seats and a fat girl beside her, snoring, she was still on the plane. She relaxed once more back onto the seat, trying to figure out what had made her wake up and how long she had been asleep.
Amie Lee heard a baby crying in the background as the flight attendant came around with a tray full of stuff.
"Cookie?" she asked Amie Lee.
"Why not," Amie Lee muttered as she took the cookies from the attendant. The flight attendant then pushed on, offering more people cookies.
Amie Lee opened up the cookies and began to eat as the two girls beside her continued snoring.
"Yum," Amie Lee said, "Oreos"
Amie Lee finished the cookies, and sat there, waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. So she just stared into space and let her thoughts take over.
Hmm, wonder what they are doing right now. Mage and Crimson are probably having fun without me, and all the plans. I never told them all of them. I was gonna ask them to help me with that stupid Anigmus project I've been working on. What am I kidding anyways, I'll never be able to be an Anigmus, but meh. If I was, I wonder what type of animal I'd be........Speaking of animals, I wonder how Tigger is doing, the poor thing must be terrified. Maybe I should think of a song. * Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money......*, meh, no Good Charlotte right now, I wish I had brought my Discman with me on the plane, it's in my bag, *This is not my life, this is not my home, this is not me, I hate this* Static X? Meh, my thoughts are screwed. I wonder if I'll meet any guys here, English guys are suppose to be gay, and ugly, I wonder if there's any hott ones......Now Scottish Guys is a different story, they are simply just.....
Amie Lee's disturbing and perplexing thoughts were interrupted by the same Barbie-like flight attendant who had announced they were taking off.
"Can everyone please take their seats, we will be landing in a few short moments."
Amie Lee cringed at her perky voice, it was that bad being perky, but this was beyond perky, it was almost worse than a Patronus. Oh, the disturbing thoughts.
Everyone settled in and the two girls beside Amie Lee woke up with a start and began too look scared again, the plane rattled a bit as the plane began to land.
Amie Lee was slouching in her chair, looking bored and waiting to get off this stupid plane, wondering what she was going to do once she got off.
The plane hit the ground with a rattle, and it continued to wheel down the runway. It finally came to a stop as everyone prepared to get off.
Amie Lee sat up, and began to walk to the exit, and to get as far away from those disgusting girls as fast as possible. She walked as fast as possible out the plane and into the terminal where she found herself in a large building full of people, but one person in particular seem to catch her eye....
A man, he was twice the size of a normal man, three if you go width wise and had a black mangy hair, and beard that covered most of his face, only showing his black beetle eyes. He was covered in a brown old cloak that looked like some type of hide. He was holding a sign that said Aimiee Liee Corbette as people were looking at him.
"What 're ye look'n at?" The tall man said to a passer-by.
Amie Lee walked up to him. "I'm Amie Lee. Spelt A-M-I-E. L-E-E. C-O-R-B- E-T-T."
The tall man looked down upon her, "Well good then, best be off."
The man walked off with almost a waddle, "Wait, I didn't get your name." Amie Lee puffed, trying to keep up width this giant of a man.
"Oh, me names Hagrid." he said as they continued to walk out of the airport, followed by stares.
"What about my luggage?"
"It's already been transported to the pub. We are gonna have to walk to the pub I'ma guessing."
Hagrid said, as he continued to walk.
"Um, what pub?" Amie Lee asked.
"Where your staying at, you know, The Leaky Cauldron? It's one of the passages to Diagon Alley," Hagrid replied.
"Um, ok then." Amie Lee said, still looking perplexed.
"Ok," Hagrid began, " This pub, you will stay at it until it's time to leave for school on September the First, however, until then you can stay at the pub, you can eat there, and the passage to Diagon Alley is just outside of it, and you can do your shopping there."
They kept walking along down a street of shops like Barney's Books, and Mrs. Cozy's Tea Shack. The sky was beginning to get dark, they kept walking until they came to a black door that no one else noticed and they walked in.
Amie Lee came into a dimly lit room, full of strangers that were dressed properly, for once. She followed Hagrid up to the counter, where a man began to ask, "Hagrid, the usual?"
"Oh, no thanks, I'm helping one of the new exchange students from Canada here, she needs her room which is already set, I presume?" Hagrid asked.
"Oh, yes, yes, of course." The man behind the counter answered, slightly intimidated.
"Oh, good then." Hagrid replied.
"Mr. John, please be sure to show our guest her room."
"Certainly sir," said a man who looked about 13 had appeared from a back room. He had medium length black hair with the tips electric blue. He was wearing glasses, but they suited him. He was wearing what looked like a uniform. Somewhat like a bell boy uniform minus the hat, and it was almost completely different shades of black, except for the brilliant gold buttons. The man supposabley, 'Mr. John', lead Amie Lee and Hagrid down a hall. They went up two flights of stairs and down another hall until they came to a door labelled 45. "This will be your room. It's quite late, so I suggest that you go to bed. Your things have already been brought up to your room. I hope you sleep well, good night." He still stood there as he showed Hagrid his room next door.
"Well, g'night missy." Hagrid said, with a warm, friendly smile as he shut the door.
Mr. John was still standing there, "Well goodnight Missy." he said, almost mimicking Hagrid.......and his warm smile.
"You don't have to wait for me you know." Amie Lee said, slightly annoyed.
"Sorry, miss, only to ask your name?" Mr. John said, slightly blushed.
"Amie Lee," she said reluctantly, "Why are you asking anyways, and you look a bit young to even work here 'Mr. John'."
"Well, I work here for the summer, until I go to Hogwarts for school," he started, "One of my relatives owns the place, and well, I just wanted to know who you are."
"Um, ok then...." Amie Lee said surprised, and unfazed.
"Well, good night." Mr. John called back.
"Um.......good night....."
Amie Lee turned the golden handle and walked through the dark oak door. She walked into a room with blue and bronze all around. The bed spread was ocean blue, the walls and the draperies, too. There was a desk and a chair in the corner, beside her stuff where she almost immediately heard a 'Meow' from the kennel.
"Oh Tigger, my poor kitty." she said pulling him out of the kennel. The cat meowed with relief, but still slightly mad that his mistress had left him.
"Don't worry, it's not my fault that you had to go in there." The cat meowed again, Amie Lee set the cat down onto the ocean blue bed.
"Fairly nice place, don't you think?" She asked her cat, almost expecting an answer. The cat looked at her wide eyed, as if he was listening.
"Well it is, besides, the bell boy isn't too bad either...." she sighed, "Too bad Crimson or Mage weren't here to talk about it with me, it's always fun talking about hott boys....."
Amie Lee could almost see a smug smile from the cat, and a glare that was to almost show a laugh.
"What?" she drawled. "No, I don't like him, he is going to Hogwarts, but they probably have houses like our school and I doubt he'll be the one I'm in. Like I'm a sarcastic bitch to most people, I'm nice to my friends, and I enjoy hurting people and I'm power hungry.... And well he seemed quite nice....."
She found that she had a smile on her face, she pet her cat happily and decided to change into her PJ's for a good, long sleep that was free of anyone she hated, but still without being somewhat near anyone she knew or actually cared about....
**************************************************************************** ******
" 'Ar? Missy, you 'here?" Hagrid said, knocking on the door.
Amie Lee woke up, she looked around her, her cat at the head of the bed....... Well, he used to, until Amie Lee kicked him off when she woke up. He was now scowling that she had disturbed his sleep.
" Yes, yes, I'm-I'm here." she' said with a loud yawn.
"Just telling you to get up for breakfast. I'll be waiting for you downstairs." Hagrid called back.
"Alright, I will be down in a minute," she said groggily.
Amie Lee sat up and pushed back the blue silk covers, her cat sat on the floor looking mad and made a growl when she looked at him.
"Sorry." she muttered looking at her cat.
She got dressed into baggy, black jeans, and was wearing, for a change, a dark green tank top. Her hair was a mess, blonde curls sprung from her head in all directions. She started to muttered, 'Curlicimus' but remembered that she couldn't do magic outside of school. So she drenched her head under the sink in bathroom, and all her blonde curls were unfuzzy and in place once her hair had dried. She put on all her jewellery and set off downstairs....
Once she had reached the dimly lit room, she easily spotted where Hagrid was sitting, due to his distinct largeness, eating apples which he probably could have swallowed whole.
"G'morning miss." Hagrid greeted.
"Um, Good morning Hagrid, you could call me Amie Lee, or even Amie, or Lee, but not miss...."
"OK, Amie Lee."
Amie Lee sat down at the small round table Hagrid was at.......well, it looked small when you compared it to Hagrid. Everything did. The room was still dimly lit, but the sun from outside peek through the few windows and made it lighter.
"So, um, Hagrid......what is it that you do at Hogwarts." Said Amie Lee, looking up at Hagrid
Hagrid seemed rather please at the talk of this subject, "Well," he began, "I don't mean to brag, but I'm the new Care of Magical Creatures, you signed up for that right?"
"Um....Yes." Amie Lee said reluctantly, and wished she wouldn't have at this point.
"What other subjects you in?"
"Um, Arithmancy, and Ancient Runes." Amie Lee.
"Well good then....You seem'd to be interested in History." Hagrid said, raising an eyebrow.
"Um, sure..."
"So are you excited about going to Hogwarts?" Hagrid asked.
"Um, I guess."
"Well, hurry up and get something to eat, and we'll be off."
"Off where?" Amie Lee asked, perplexed.
"To Diagon Alley of course, gotta show you 'round."
"Um, ok, how about a muffin?" Amie Lee asked.
"Coming right up." Hagrid said as he left the table, just missing the roof. Then returned a few short moments.
"Here's ya muffin miss." Hagrid laid down a plate with a flat pastry on it.
"WHAT? This isn't a muffin!"
"Your Canada muffins are all poffy, eh?"
"YA! But I'll eat anyways......this is odd, though. English Muffins are ok, too." She said, with a sigh.
Amie Lee ate her muffin reluctantly, it tasted kind of funny, so she only ate half of it.
"Not eating it all, eh? Don't you know how good English Muffins are!!!" Hagrid said, slightly annoyed.
Amie Lee looked up at him, rather intimidated, and began eating the rest of her muffin. After she had finished Hagrid let her run the marathon up to her room to get her money bag and head of to Diagon Alley.
Hagrid walked out of a door at the back side of the pub, which revealed to have a brick wall right in front of it.
"Aren't we going to Diagon Alley?" Amie Lee questioned.
"Yah, hold on 'tere miss."
"Don't call me miss." Amie Lee contained a snigger.
Hagrid got an umbrella out from his larger cloak and taped on the wall, muttering something that sounded vaguely like two up, three over, five times. The bricks began to move and shift, until they pushed away to reveal the archway, to Diagon Alley.
"And here is Diagon Alley."
"Wow..." Amie Lee looked everywhere, there was everything that she could dream of...
"Firstly, I'll show you where to get your robes for Hogwarts, and your books, other than that you can wonder around. I'm sure if you need my help you'll be able to find me through the crowd."
Amie Lee nodded, as she followed Hagrid pass shops like Ollivanders Wands, but they walked into a store called 'Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.'
A squat witch was sitting behind a counter, "Hello." she said smiling.
There were hangers cloaks and a raised part of floor in the middle of the room, which had mirrors at certain sides of it showing three different angles.
"She needs a few new Hogwarts robes, she's an exchange student from Canada."
"Alright then," said the portly witch, turning to Amie Lee.
"What's your size dearie?" The porky witch asked.
"Um, who are you?"Amie Lee asked.
"Oh, I'm Madame Malkin. Size 12? I think that's right."
"Um, ya....how did you-"
"Know? It's a gift." she said as she magically began taking measurements.
"Alright, I'll just stand here..."
"Good, but stay still, too."
Madame Malkin was still taking her measurements as people came in and out, until the lady was finally done. Then Madame Malkin went into a back room and came back with a seven beautiful robes and two cloaks.
"There you are dearie, that will be 22 Galleons and 6 Sickles." Madame Malkin asked politely.
Amie Lee reached into her money bag and pulled out the required money. She took the clothing along with a bag Madame Malkin had given her and went over to the 'small' chair, in which Hagrid had been waiting the whole time.
"Ready to go to the book shop, are yeh?" Hagrid asked.
"Yep, I just need to grab Standard Book of Spells Volume 3, Ancient Math Works, Which Rune? and the Monster Book of Monsters."
"Oh, no need." Hagrid said, as he pulled out a struggling monstrous green book, wrapped tightly into a black belt, "A welcome gift."
Amie Lee was slightly afraid for the fact the book looked like it would bite if it hadn't been bound by the belt, but slightly in gratitude to Hagrid, for actually caring about her.
"Thanks," she said with a warm smile to Hagrid.
Hagrid lead her out of Madame Malkin's shop and they walked down the bustling street until they came to a shop call 'Flourish and Blotts'.
"This is where you buy your books, I'll be off now, I'll see you at supper time a'right miss?" Hagrid asked.
"Ya, alright," Amie Lee said with a smile as Hagrid left.
Amie Lee began to wonder around, she came across shops like 'Quality Quidditch Supplies' where she saw a nice new broom, called the Firebolt, she only wish she could go in and buy it, but wouldn't find any use of it. For the simple fact that she hadn't played Quidditch since ever......
Amie Lee went back Flourish and Blotts, to buy her books. She walked into a room with thousands of bookshelves cover almost every inch of the wall. She wondered around, she looked at a table with a book entitled, 'How to Know When the Worst is Coming.' Amie Lee passed by into a section of books.
They entitled, 'Dark Magic For Beginners', 'How to kill the pests in your house', and 'Dark Magic For Teens'. Amie Lee, intrigued, grabbed Dark Magic for beginners and Dark Magic for Teens. She continued to walk to where the more History books seem to be. She saw books like 'Which Rune?', 'Ancient Math Works', 'The Goblin Rebellion', and 'Important Historical Tid Bits From the Last Thousand Years.' Amie Lee grabbed Which Rune, and Ancient Math Works, as she continued walking along the miscellaneous section.
She tripped over something and fell hard on the ground making all of her books fall out of her hands. The books flew in every direction, and Amie Lee laid there, sprawled on the floor. She slowly sat up, and began to pull herself onto her feet as a hand was held out to her. She looked up and saw 'Mr. John' surprisingly. She took his hand and he helped her up. Mr. John began picking up her books and reading the titles of her books.
"Which Rune? Your in Ancient Runes? Me too. Oh and you have Ancient Math Works, I'm in Arithmancy, too." He began, "Oh, and look at this Dark Magic For Beginners." He looked at her surprised.
Amie Lee quickly grabbed her books, "Those are mine."
"It's ok." He said.
"Why, now you think I'm evil. Which is true...."
"No, I'm just surprised. A blonde, curly haired girl doesn't seem the type you know to be buying Dark Arts Books, you look kind of goody goody. But with your attire, there is an exception. However, I don't really care, for the fact I'm on the fourth book on each of these series."
Amie Lee stood there looking surprised, "I'm seem to have misjudged you." she said smiling.
"Well, being nice doesn't get you out of everything."
"I never got your name yet, 'Mr. John'."
"Oh, it's Nic. Nicolas John."

He still stood there as he showed Hagrid his room next door.
"Well, g'night missy." Hagrid said, with a warm, friendly smile as he shut the door.
Mr. John was still standing there, "Well goodnight Missy." he said, almost mimicking Hagrid.......and his warm smile.
"You don't have to wait for me you know." Amie Lee said, slightly annoyed.
"Sorry, miss, only to ask your name?" Mr. John said, slightly blushed.
"Amie Lee," she said reluctantly, "Why are you asking anyways, and you look a bit young to even work here 'Mr. John'."
"Well, I work here for the summer, until I go to Hogwarts for school," he started, "One of my relatives owns the place, and well, I just wanted to know who you are."
"Um, ok then...." Amie Lee said surprised, and unfazed.
"Well, good night." Mr. John called back.
"Um.......good night....."
Amie Lee turned the golden handle and walked through the dark oak door. She walked into a room with blue and bronze all around. The bed spread was ocean blue, the walls and the draperies, too. There was a desk and a chair in the corner, beside her stuff where she almost immediately heard a 'Meow' from the kennel.
"Oh Tigger, my poor kitty." she said pulling him out of the kennel. The cat meowed with relief, but still slightly mad that his mistress had left him.
"Don't worry, it's not my fault that you had to go in there." The cat meowed again, Amie Lee set the cat down onto the ocean blue bed.
"Fairly nice place, don't you think?" She asked her cat, almost expecting an answer. The cat looked at her wide eyed, as if he was listening.
"Well it is, besides, the bell boy isn't too bad either...." she sighed, "Too bad Crimson or Mage weren't here to talk about it with me, it's always fun talking about hott boys....."
Amie Lee could almost see a smug smile from the cat, and a glare that was to almost show a laugh.
"What?" she drawled. "No, I don't like him, he is going to Hogwarts, but they probably have houses like our school and I doubt he'll be the one I'm in. Like I'm a sarcastic bitch to most people, I'm nice to my friends, and I enjoy hurting people and I'm power hungry.... And well he seemed quite nice....."
She found that she had a smile on her face, she pet her cat happily and decided to change into her PJ's for a good, long sleep that was free of anyone she hated, but still without being somewhat near anyone she knew or actually cared about....
**************************************************************************** ******
" 'Ar? Missy, you 'here?" Hagrid said, knocking on the door.
Amie Lee woke up, she looked around her, her cat at the head of the bed....... Well, he used to, until Amie Lee kicked him off when she woke up. He was now scowling that she had disturbed his sleep.
" Yes, yes, I'm-I'm here." she' said with a loud yawn.
"Just telling you to get up for breakfast. I'll be waiting for you downstairs." Hagrid called back.
"Alright, I will be down in a minute," she said groggily.
Amie Lee sat up and pushed back the blue silk covers, her cat sat on the floor looking mad and made a growl when she looked at him.
"Sorry." she muttered looking at her cat.
She got dressed into baggy, black jeans, and was wearing, for a change, a dark green tank top. Her hair was a mess, blonde curls sprung from her head in all directions. She started to muttered, 'Curlicimus' but remembered that she couldn't do magic outside of school. So she drenched her head under the sink in bathroom, and all her blonde curls were unfuzzy and in place once her hair had dried. She put on all her jewellery and set off downstairs....
Once she had reached the dimly lit room, she easily spotted where Hagrid was sitting, due to his distinct largeness, eating apples which he probably could have swallowed whole.
"G'morning miss." Hagrid greeted.
"Um, Good morning Hagrid, you could call me Amie Lee, or even Amie, or Lee, but not miss...."
"OK, Amie Lee."
Amie Lee sat down at the small round table Hagrid was at.......well, it looked small when you compared it to Hagrid. Everything did. The room was still dimly lit, but the sun from outside peek through the few windows and made it lighter.
"So, um, Hagrid......what is it that you do at Hogwarts." Said Amie Lee, looking up at Hagrid
Hagrid seemed rather please at the talk of this subject, "Well," he began, "I don't mean to brag, but I'm the new Care of Magical Creatures, you signed up for that right?"
"Um....Yes." Amie Lee said reluctantly, and wished she wouldn't have at this point.
"What other subjects you in?"
"Um, Arithmancy, and Ancient Runes." Amie Lee.
"Well good then....You seem'd to be interested in History." Hagrid said, raising an eyebrow.
"Um, sure..."
"So are you excited about going to Hogwarts?" Hagrid asked.
"Um, I guess."
"Well, hurry up and get something to eat, and we'll be off."
"Off where?" Amie Lee asked, perplexed.
"To Diagon Alley of course, gotta show you 'round."
"Um, ok, how about a muffin?" Amie Lee asked.
"Coming right up." Hagrid said as he left the table, just missing the roof. Then returned a few short moments.
"Here's ya muffin miss." Hagrid laid down a plate with a flat pastry on it.
"WHAT? This isn't a muffin!"
"Your Canada muffins are all poffy, eh?"
"YA! But I'll eat anyways......this is odd, though. English Muffins are ok, too." She said, with a sigh.
Amie Lee ate her muffin reluctantly, it tasted kind of funny, so she only ate half of it.
"Not eating it all, eh? Don't you know how good English Muffins are!!!" Hagrid said, slightly annoyed.
Amie Lee looked up at him, rather intimidated, and began eating the rest of her muffin. After she had finished Hagrid let her run the marathon up to her room to get her money bag and head of to Diagon Alley.
Hagrid walked out of a door at the back side of the pub, which revealed to have a brick wall right in front of it.
"Aren't we going to Diagon Alley?" Amie Lee questioned.
"Yah, hold on 'tere miss."
"Don't call me miss." Amie Lee contained a snigger.
Hagrid got an umbrella out from his larger cloak and taped on the wall, muttering something that sounded vaguely like two up, three over, five times. The bricks began to move and shift, until they pushed away to reveal the archway, to Diagon Alley.
"And here is Diagon Alley."
"Wow..." Amie Lee looked everywhere, there was everything that she could dream of...
"Firstly, I'll show you where to get your robes for Hogwarts, and your books, other than that you can wonder around. I'm sure if you need my help you'll be able to find me through the crowd."
Amie Lee nodded, as she followed Hagrid pass shops like Ollivanders Wands, but they walked into a store called 'Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.'
A squat witch was sitting behind a counter, "Hello." she said smiling.
There were hangers cloaks and a raised part of floor in the middle of the room, which had mirrors at certain sides of it showing three different angles.
"She needs a few new Hogwarts robes, she's an exchange student from Canada."
"Alright then," said the portly witch, turning to Amie Lee.
"What's your size dearie?" The porky witch asked.
"Um, who are you?"Amie Lee asked.
"Oh, I'm Madame Malkin. Size 12? I think that's right."
"Um, ya....how did you-"
"Know? It's a gift." she said as she magically began taking measurements.
"Alright, I'll just stand here..."
"Good, but stay still, too."
Madame Malkin was still taking her measurements as people came in and out, until the lady was finally done. Then Madame Malkin went into a back room and came back with a seven beautiful robes and two cloaks.
"There you are dearie, that will be 22 Galleons and 6 Sickles." Madame Malkin asked politely.
Amie Lee reached into her money bag and pulled out the required money. She took the clothing along with a bag Madame Malkin had given her and went over to the 'small' chair, in which Hagrid had been waiting the whole time.
"Ready to go to the book shop, are yeh?" Hagrid asked.
"Yep, I just need to grab Standard Book of Spells Volume 3, Ancient Math Works, Which Rune? and the Monster Book of Monsters."
"Oh, no need." Hagrid said, as he pulled out a struggling monstrous green book, wrapped tightly into a black belt, "A welcome gift."
Amie Lee was slightly afraid for the fact the book looked like it would bite if it hadn't been bound by the belt, but slightly in gratitude to Hagrid, for actually caring about her.
"Thanks," she said with a warm smile to Hagrid.
Hagrid lead her out of Madame Malkin's shop and they walked down the bustling street until they came to a shop call 'Flourish and Blotts'.
"This is where you buy your books, I'll be off now, I'll see you at supper time a'right miss?" Hagrid asked.
"Ya, alright," Amie Lee said with a smile as Hagrid left.
Amie Lee began to wonder around, she came across shops like 'Quality Quidditch Supplies' where she saw a nice new broom, called the Firebolt, she only wish she could go in and buy it, but wouldn't find any use of it. For the simple fact that she hadn't played Quidditch since ever......
Amie Lee went back Flourish and Blotts, to buy her books. She walked into a room with thousands of bookshelves cover almost every inch of the wall. She wondered around, she looked at a table with a book entitled, 'How to Know When the Worst is Coming.' Amie Lee passed by into a section of books.
They entitled, 'Dark Magic For Beginners', 'How to kill the pests in your house', and 'Dark Magic For Teens'. Amie Lee, intrigued, grabbed Dark Magic for beginners and Dark Magic for Teens. She continued to walk to where the more History books seem to be. She saw books like 'Which Rune?', 'Ancient Math Works', 'The Goblin Rebellion', and 'Important Historical Tid Bits From the Last Thousand Years.' Amie Lee grabbed Which Rune, and Ancient Math Works, as she continued walking along the miscellaneous section.
She tripped over something and fell hard on the ground making all of her books fall out of her hands. The books flew in every direction, and Amie Lee laid there, sprawled on the floor. She slowly sat up, and began to pull herself onto her feet as a hand was held out to her. She looked up and saw 'Mr. John' surprisingly. She took his hand and he helped her up. Mr. John began picking up her books and reading the titles of her books.
"Which Rune? Your in Ancient Runes? Me too. Oh and you have Ancient Math Works, I'm in Arithmancy, too." He began, "Oh, and look at this Dark Magic For Beginners." He looked at her surprised.
Amie Lee quickly grabbed her books, "Those are mine."
"It's ok." He said.
"Why, now you think I'm evil. Which is true...."
"No, I'm just surprised. A blonde, curly haired girl doesn't seem the type you know to be buying Dark Arts Books, you look kind of goody goody. But with your attire, there is an exception. However, I don't really care, for the fact I'm on the fourth book on each of these series."
Amie Lee stood there looking surprised, "I'm seem to have misjudged you." she said smiling.
"Well, being nice doesn't get you out of everything."
"I never got your name yet, 'Mr. John'."
"Oh, it's Nic. Nicolas John."
