Disclaimer: I don't own the Harry Potter characters that the wonderful J.K.
Rowling came up with (though I wish I did . . .)
A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews! I don't have much to say except that I'm really sorry that I haven't updated for a LONG time. Though I do have my excuses:
1.My Birthday
2.I went on vacation
3.My keyboard wasn't working
4.I had to do my over-the-summer homework (don't teachers understand the meaning of 'break'?)
And now on to the thank-you's:
Boo922: Thanks! I read your story; it's really good, too.
Catty: Thanks! You're right . . . that would have been hilarious. I was thinking of doing something like that, but I couldn't decide on a good thing to do.
Aislin-Black: It would be bloody brilliant (oh, jeez. I'm talking like Ron and I'm from the US . . . too much Harry Potter, but there isn't such a thing, is there?) to ride in the Knight Bus! Thanks for adding my story to your favorites!
Artemis1860: Actually, I do want to see snow . . . It's been quite hot here in California ;P. Thanks for reviewing!
Spazzerz: Thanks!
Now, on with the story.
Jenny was amazed. Diagon Alley was almost exactly like she imagined it. There was a crooked cobblestone street packed with witches and wizards. On either side of the street there were shops ranging from Olivander's wand shop to Eeylop's Owl Emporium to Quality Quidditch Supplies to Flourish and Blotts to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. And far in the distance there was a huge white marble building; Gringotts.
"Jenny? Hello? Earth to Jenny!" Jenny was snapped out of her trance when Tom snapped his fingers very close to her face.
"What? Oh! Sorry . . ."
"Nothing to be sorry about, let's just get our supplies before we get run over."
"Oh, right . . ." said Jenny in a very far away voice. She had gone back into her trance.
"Uggh . . ." he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her along the street. "Now, I think we should go to Gringotts to exchange our money for galleons."
"That sounds like a good idea," Jenny said and started walking towards the giant white building.
They reached the marble steps and quickly climbed them. On the front doors they saw the familiar poem that warned about what would happen to thieves (A/N: I forgot what the poem is and I don't have my HP books with me). A goblin bowed and opened the door the door for them. Inside looked almost exactly like it did in the Harry Potter movies. They walked up to a goblin sitting a desk labeled 'CURRENCY EXCHANGE'.
"Can I help you?" he asked in a voice that gave Jenny the shivers.
"Yes," said Tom, "We would like to exchange our muggle money for Galleons."
"Very well. Ladies first."
Jenny rummaged in her backpack and found the money that her mother had given her. She gave it to the goblin and he thumbed through it, apparently checking that it wasn't counterfeit.
"Eighty American dollars is 16 galleons, 10 sickles, and 2 knuts," said the goblin and gave Jenny her money in a little leather pouch.
"Thank you."
"Would you like to open an account?"
"Um . . ."
Just at that moment an owl came through the doors and landed in front of Jenny with a letter in its beak. Jenny took the letter and read it.
Dear Jenny,
Since you will now be going to Hogwarts and shopping in the wizard world, your father and I would like to give you our account at Gringotts. Inside this envelope is a little key. That is the key to your vault.
Hope you're having a fun time,
Mom
"Cool! No thanks, I already have a vault. Well it's my parent's vault that they're giving to me," she said to the goblin.
Jenny looked inside the envelope and found a little gold key with the numbers '431' etched on to it.
'Hmm . . . I wonder how much money is in the vault . . .' Jenny thought as she waited for Tom to get his money.
"Come, Jenny. Let's go get our supplies."
"Coming . . ." she mumbled as she hurried to catch up to Tom.
"So . . ." he said, "what's first on the list?"
'List? Oh, that must have been the other piece of parchment in the envelope,' she thought. "Um . . . well the books I guess," she said while looking for her letter and thinking of the Harry Potter books.
"So I guess we should go to Flourish and Blotts . . . the Harry Potter books sure are coming in useful . . ."
They walked over to a crowded bookstore and went inside. There were towers of books everywhere they looked. In one corner there was a banner that read 'HOGWARTS SCHOOL BOOKS'. The majority of the shop was standing there.
Jenny tapped Tom on the shoulder and pointed towards the most crowded section of the bookstore. They made their way to the corner and after squeezing around people for ten minutes, they finally got all their books. They had about 10 large books in their hands, the tower of them blocking their vision.
They started walking over to the register when all of a sudden,
CRASH
"Ow!" Jenny yelped as she flew backwards, all her books coming down on her head.
She moved a copy of 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' that was on her chest and looked around. Tom was right next to her, trying to get his 'One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi' out from under the pile of books. And facing them were three people, two of who she recognized,
"Lizzie?! Sammy?! Jenny?! What are you doing here?" The three friends said at the same time. "Were you accepted to Hogwarts, too?" All three nodded their heads. "OH MY GOD!!!"
"Err . . . Jenny. Do you know these people by any chance?" Tom said while tapping Jenny on the shoulder.
"Huh? Oh! Sorry . . . Tom, these are my two best friends, Lizzie Fox and Sammy Stein. Lizzie and Sammy, this is Tom Felton, I met him on the Knight Bus."
Their jaws dropped. "Tom Felton?" They said quietly. "You mean-"
"Zip it!" Jenny hissed. "Yes, Tom Felton. An ORDINARY kid JUST LIKE US."
"Oh, okay." Lizzie cautiously. "Nice to meet you, Tom," she said while shaking his hand.
Tom gave her a charming smile.
Lizzie gave a longing sigh and blushed when she noticed that everyone was watching her.
Sammy looked too stunned to speak but she managed to squeak a little 'Hi'.
"Well then . . . wait a second. Who are you?" Jenny directed this at the fifth person who looked like she was being entertained by their little conversation.
"Me? I'm Herm-"
"Hermione Granger!" they chorused.
"How did all of you know my name?"
"Looooooooooong story. Actually the books range from like 300 pages to like 900 . . ."
"Books?" Hermione said with a glint in her eyes.
"Yeah, books. Let's get this stuff paid for and then we can talk about it over ice cream," Jenny said, her mouth watering when she mentioned ice cream (A/N: my mouth's watering now . . . mmmm . . . ice cream ^_^).
~***~
"So what you're saying is there is someone who's been writing about Harry's life? How would this author know? Sounds like Rita Skeeter to me . . ."
They had been talking for over an hour about the Harry Potter books, explaining the phenomenon in their world.
"And you're saying there's even movies about us?"
They nodded.
"Tom here actually plays Malfoy in the movies," Sammy said, pointing a finger towards Tom.
"Yeah, and Jenny has pictures of h-OW!" Lizzie blurted before Jenny kicked her in the shin.
"Oops! My mistake . . . thought you were the table," she said, a blush creeping up her cheeks.
"You do?" Hermione said, turning around to look at Tom. "Actually, if you slicked your hair back, you could pass as his twin."
"I do . . . in the movies."
"Do . . . do you have a picture of the girl who plays me?" Hermione asked, rather eagerly for a bookworm.
"Yeah, I do," Tom said pulling out his wallet. He took out a picture and handed it to her. It was a picture of Tom and the other three main stars.
"Blimey . . . she looks just like me. And that's Ron! That boy over there looks just like Harry only his face is a little rounder and his hair is much tidier . . ."
Right on cue, Harry, Ron, and the twins walked out of the shop next door, Quality Quidditch Supplies. One of the twins pointed at Hermione and they started walking towards them.
"Hermione!" Ron exclaimed. "Why didn't you tell us you would be here today?"
Hermione shrugged and gave both Ron and Harry a hug. She then turned to Jenny, Tom, Lizzie, and Sammy.
"There's a few people I'd like you to meet. This is Fred, George, and Ron Weasley. And this is Harry Potter."

So . . . what d'you think? I'm gonna stop here before I get any more reviews begging me to continue . . . though do keep the reviews coming ; ) ! Sorry I haven't updated for so long . . . I've been getting ready for school and stuff . . . plus I've had serious (Waaa! Sirius . . . :( ) writers block. I'll try and write more often. R&R please!
