The girls spent the next few hours giggling over candid photos of Lynn's
last few years at Hogwarts. Marie was in total awe at how such flat
pictures could move, capturing the moment. Lynn passed her new sister a
few of her favorite school books, grinning from ear to ear, very excited
that they would be going to the same school together.
"You know Lynn.? This is totally strange. I mean, I was kind of interested in the whole Wicca thing back home. But this.this is no joke!" Marie carefully studied Lynn's wand made of a willow branch and watched in amazement as Lynn flicked a few, easy spells into the air before her. Alright.alright. Now I really believe you!" Marie grinned as she handed back the wand, after learning a small spell from Lynn.
"Just wait until you see Diagon Alley! You will absolutely get a kick out of that place. Mum said that we could go tomorrow to get our school supplies." Lynn pointed the list out to Marie at the bottom of their letters. "It's where all witches and wizards go to get anything! It's right in London too, only hidden. So save your money!" Lynn paused, and then frowned. "Shit, I forgot! You'll have to go to Gringot's Bank to get your money exchanged for galleons. Don't worry.mum will deal with those.uh, things for you."
The night dragged on as Marie lay away with busy thoughts of what she would expect in Diagon Alley. Were the witches and wizards dressed in long robes and pointy hats? Was there going to be magic everywhere, like in Lynn's house? These questions plagued her thoughts as she slowly drifted off to sleep under the large eye of the moon.
