Disclaimer: I OWN HARRY POTTER!!! MUAHAHAHA!!! *Slap* Ok, ok, I don't.
But it was a nice dream.
A/N: I'm so glad you guys like my story! I'm changing something for the purpose of this story. I also made a few changes to the chapters before this. 1: Tom Felton is 12 years old. 2: Harry and his friends are 12 years old. 3: Nothing in the 2nd book happens, it happens at another time. (I know this is confusing but here is what happens so my story will make sense: There is one world when Harry goes through the events of the second book, and one where he goes through the events in my story. But at the end of each year the memories are all filled into one person (Harry). It's sort of like being in 2 places at once, if you know what I mean. If you don't understand this and think that it's a lame explanation, then please tell me a way which you thing is better and I'll be happy to consider it.) Phew! That was long. Even I don't really get what I wrote :P..but I had to put something. Thank you to my reviewers!!!
Aislin-Black: I'm glad you like my story and my story line!
Artemis1860: I'm happy you don't think it's lame and that you're hooked!
Catty: I'm glad you like my twist! Yay! I'm now on the favorite authors list of 2 people!!!
Now, back to the story.

Chapter 3
Jenny woke on Monday morning to her mom calling from downstairs.
"Jenny, dear, wake up! You're going to be late! You need to catch the bus to Diagon Alley!"
Jenny turned over and looked at her clock. Her mom was right, it was already 11:30.
She stumbled out of bed and took a quick shower. She then got dried her hair and got dressed by putting on a pair of flared jeans, a cute shirt, her comfy sneakers, and her jean jacket; she didn't know how cold it would be in London, especially on another world. She took with her backpack that had her money and everything she needed in there.
She grabbed the Hogwarts envelope from her bedside table, and stuffed it in her pocket. She then rushed downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Why do you have your backpack, Jenny?" asked her annoying little brother as she sat down at the table
"I'm going shopping for school supplies today." She replied simply as she grabbed a piece of toast. Jenny didn't feel like telling her brother about Hogwarts; not yet. She put some jam on her toast, and then quickly ate it. She then drank down her orange juice and wiped her mouth.
"Honey, you'd better go outside and wait for the bus. It should be here any minute."
"Okay," Jenny said as she got up and went to kiss her mom goodbye. "Did you tell dad?" she whispered.
"Yes. He's very proud of you, and so am I." Mrs. Levin said with a smile.
"Bye!" she called as she walked out the front door.
Jenny sat on the bench outside their house and looked at her watch. 'It should be here any minute now,' she thought.
"5..4..3..2..1.."
BANG!
"Ahhh!" Jenny screamed as she jumped out of the way of a violent purple, triple-decker bus.
A boy in his late teens with many freckles on his face came out of the bus, looked down at her and said, "Whatcha lyin' there for? Common, ge' in the bus!"
Jenny slowly got up and climbed up the stairs that led to the inside of the bus. There were mismatched armchairs strewn around behind the driver's seat, and people who were previously sitting in them who were getting up, off the floor.
"Hi, I'm Stan Shunpike. An' this here's Ern, he's the driver." He pointed to an old man who looked like he was stuck to the driver's seat. "Now..what's yer name?"
"Jenny, Jenny Levin."
"An' where you goin'?" he asked writing her name down on a piece of parchment.
"Diagon Alley."
"For Hogwarts?"
"Yeah."
"That'll be 12 sickles, unless you want 'ot chocolate, that's 2 more sickles."
"Um..I don't want any hot chocolate, but I don't have any wizard money.."
"Oh, that's alright! Don't you worry! We'll send you an owl-bill." He said while scribbling something on the parchment.
"Thanks. Um..where exactly can I sit?"
All the chairs on the bus that people weren't sitting in were either overturned or magical ones that were trying franticly to turn right side up.
"Oh! Here," Sam said, leading her to a seat and turning it over, as well as the one next to it, "right here."
"Thank you."
Sam went back to the front of the bus and said, "Next stop's Surrey, England!"
BANG
"Ahhh!" Jenny squealed as she flew backwards off her chair. "Stupid Knight Bus.." she mumbled as she got up and picked her chair back up. 'Hmm..' she thought, 'I'd better put my chair against the back wall so it won't tip over again.' She did just that.
Jenny looked out the window and saw the landscape zooming by. One second they were flying through the country side, the next the bus had sprouted wings and they were zooming over the ocean. With another BANG they landed in Surrey, England.
A boy with platinum blond hair got on to the bus and was talking to Stan with his back to Jenny. 'Hmmm..I recognize him from somewhere..but who does he remind me of..'
Her thoughts were interrupted by Stan bringing the blonde boy to the seat next to her. "Jenny, this is Tom. He's also going to Hogwarts."
Jenny instantly knew who he was; Tom Felton, her favorite actor from the Harry Potter movies (A/N: LUCKY JENNY!!! LUCKY, LUCKY JENNY!!!).
For a few seconds she just stared at him with her eyebrows raised. Then her manners got the best of her. She stood up abruptly and said, "Hi, my names Jenny, Jenny Levin. Nice to meet you," she said while shaking his hand.
"Like wise. My name's Tom, Tom Felton," he said with a charming smile.
"Well, we'd best be on our way," said Stan as he left the two to themselves. "Next stop, Cape Town, South Africa."
BANG
They sat down on the two seats positioned against the back wall. Jenny turned in her seat and blurted out, "Are you really Tom Felton, the one who plays Draco Malfoy?"
"What? Oh, yeah.." He didn't sound too happy about Jenny asking him that.
"Is there something wrong?" she asked.
"Well..there's always people following me around, asking for my autograph and stuff, and I thought I could get away from that when I went to the magical world," he said, a little sadly. "Don't get me wrong," he added quickly, "I love acting. It's just that the fans sometimes get a little too..obsessed."
Jenny was struck by the thought of her room and locker covered by the Tom Felton pictures. She made a mental note to take them down as soon as she got home.
"Don't worry," she said reassuringly, "I won't treat you like that and more than half the kids won't know who you are..Except the ones from our world." Jenny eyed a few girls who were turned around in their seats staring at Tom with a longing expression on their faces.
BANG
They were now in South Africa.
"Thanks. That makes me feel much better. So..where do you live?"
"In California, USA."
"Cool. But, don't you miss not having snow?"
"Actually, I've never seen snow..(A/N: that little tidbit was based on me. I've really never seen snow! Poor me..:P)
"You're joking! Well, if I've read the Harry Potter books correctly, than that'll change this year."
"Yeah..wait! I've just realized something. How are we gonna explain our absences from our world for the whole school year?"
"Haven't you sent off your reply to Hogwarts ye-"
"Oh my gosh! I forgot all about that! Hopefully there's a post office in Diagon Alley.."
BANG
"Wow!"
"Cool!"
"Blimey!"
"Awesome!"
"Wicked!"
The bus was spinning around in a whirl of color. One second there was a tree passing by; the next there was a wand shooting out sparks. With another BANG they landed on a main London street. There were many people around but none of them seemed to realize that a violent purple, triple- decker bus had just appeared out of nowhere.
"We are now in London, England on the magical world! Go through that little pub, the Leaky Cauldron." Stan pointed to a shabby little pub that no one seemed to notice. On a little plaque above the door was scribbled 'THE LEAKY CAULDRON'.
Jenny picked up her backpack and followed Tom out the bus doors. They walked to The Leaky Cauldron surrounded by many people who were going the same way. Tom opened the door and let Jenny in before him like a real gentleman. Even though Jenny only knew him for a few minutes, she could tell he was more of the jokester type than the gentleman. She just chuckled and stepped inside.
All she could do was gasp. The Leaky Cauldron was almost exactly like its movie self. There was the bar with witches and wizards seated around it with a barman serving and chatting with them. There were also some circular tables scattered around the floor. Everyone from the Knight Bus walked towards a door at the back, some saying hellos to old friends. When they reached the door they went through it and found themselves in a small courtyard with only a garbage pail in it. An elderly woman reached out and tapped the wall with her wand; 3 up and 2 across(A/N: It's either that or 2 up and 3 across, I'm not sure). The last brick wriggled and a hole formed in the wall. It steadily grew bigger and bigger until it made an archway.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley!"
