Lily got ready really quick, and they were off. It took a good half and hour to get to the Leaky cauldron. When they got there they looked like a crazy bunch 2 nervous adults, 1 excited child, and 1 pale frightening child behind the parents. They walked into the pub, and walked to the counter.

"Hi I'm Mr. Evans and this is my wife, and 2 children Petunia, and Lily. Lily is going to Hogwarts, and they said you can help us Mr. ___." Mr. Evans said

"Oh you can just call me Jerry, and the answer to your first question yes I can. Oh yes this is my apprentice you might say Tom." Jerry said looking at Tom" Tom please get the girls a drink, and take them to a table while I give their parents instructions." Jerry said

" Yes Sir." Tom said

" What did I tell you to call me? Jerry said sternly

" Oh right, yes Jerry." Tom said laughing

Tom took Lily, and the nervous Petunia to an empty seat. Tom looked to be 17 he wasn't bad looking he had a very mature face, but a sweet smile.

" Not to sound rude but is there always weird people in here?" lily asked looking around the room.

" Ha. Yeah don't worry there actually quite interesting." Tom laughed, " So are you excited about starting Hogwarts. It's a great place I love it."

" Yes! I can't wait to go. Do you go there?" Lily rambled

" Yep, but I'm in my last year. My uncle got me this job for the summer. Its a lot of fun." Tom said

"How cool" Lily said

" Lily is there something wrong with your sister?" Tome asked looking at petunia weirdly who was very pale, and was biting her nails.

" Oh she hates anything, well anything not normal it scares her, but don't pay attention to her." Lily told him

Lily and Tom talked for a little while longer until Lily's dad called her over to leave.

" Well it was fun talking to you lovely Lily. Hope to see you at Hogwarts." Tom smiled and thought to himself " darn too bad she's 6 years younger than me."

" Yeah see you then, bye." Lily said hurrying Jerry led Lily and her family to a room that had a door that they came in, and then just a brick wall. Jerry went and tapped the bricks in some sort of pattern, and they all moved to show what looked like a little market place with shops all over.
