A/N This is going to be a very long chapter. I'm trying to make all of my
chapters longer, but I think this is my longest one yet. So be prepared.
I've already got 1956 words and I'm not even half way through the chapter
yet. Um. in the last chapter Hermione played a trick on the Weasley's and
on Harry. then at the end Ron and Hermione get teased because they like
each other.. Long story.. So ya. just to tell you. This story of
Diamond/Harry/Ron/Hermione is going to be rather long. And going back from
one view to another.. Now, with out further delay..

Time to be Me
Chapter 4
"So, where are we going?" I asked my dad.
"We're going to Diagon Alley." He replied.
Great, I thought. I get to go to a place that I've never heard about before. But the question was, how were we going to get there. I mean, my father didn't come by car, or plane. There was no way I was going to just disappear into thin air like he seemed to be doing a lot.
"Hey dad?"
"what?"
"How are we getting to this Diagon Alley? I mean, I'm not disappearing into thin air!" I replied.
"Well, we are going to travel by flow powder. You of course will be very frightened by this. It's travel by fire. But of course you won't be burned in any way." He pulled out a sack from his big coat.
"what's that for?" I don't like this, I thought. I don't want to travel like this at all.
"That's what you through into the fire place. You see, you get into the fire place, say were you are going, then throw the powder to the ground. Are you okay with this?" He asked.
"I guess. Am I going first?" I wanted to know.
"Yes. Now, all you have to remember is to speak clearly. Okay?"
"Okay." I walked to the fire place and grabbed some of the dust. "It's pixy dust!" I proclaimed. It seemed that my father doesn't know what the heck I'm talking about. "Diagon Alley!" I yelled. I started to spin really really fast. I opened my eyes and saw a lot of smoke and dust. My elbows were hitting into something. All of a sudden I was thrown out and onto a cold floor.
"Uh."
"Are you okay?" someone asked.
I opened my eyes and saw a lady with light brown hair tied up in a bun. She wore an ugly pointed hat on her head. It looked like something someone would were on Halloween.
"I'm fine, thanks." I replied.
"Are you here with anyone?" She asked.
"Um, I'm here with my." all of a sudden my father had came out of the fire place.
"She's here with me. It's nice to see you again Professor McGonogall."
"Hello Snape. Is this that student that is here from America?" she asked. Great, I thought, everyone knows about me.
"Yes, she is."
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* _*_*_*_*_
(professor McGonogall's view)
What an outcast! I thought. She just had to be wearing the most outrageous clothes ever. She was wearing a black tank top with a fishnet over shirt. She was also wearing tight black pants. Her eye shadow was black. The only normal thing about her was her hair, which was strait.
"You will be explaining everything to her, I presume?" I said.
"Explain what? That I'm a witch? That I'm going to a school somewhere in London. And may I add that this school isn't even on the internet! But of course, I'm not allowed to bring anything electronic to this school. So the only fun thing I brought with me was my guitar!"
"She's having a bad day." Snape said.
"I can tell." I replied. I guess that this child was going to be a lot of fun. Just like the Weasley twins, but in one person.
"Well, I think we had better be on our way, I'll see you later, McGonogall."
"The same to you, Snape." (Sorry, I don't know all of the names right now!)
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* _*_*_*_*_
(Diamond's perspective)
"Great, was that one of my many Professors?" I asked. Dad nodded. "Well, I don't think she likes me. She looked at me like I was going to kill something."
"Well, she is very how you could say, strict about everything. Shall we be going?"
"Sure." We walked out through the back and into an alley way. "What are we doing out here?"
"Be patient!" he said. He took out a stick and tapped the stone wall in three places. Then, all of a sudden the stones started to rearrange themselves into a huge arch way.
"WOW!" I said. "That is impressive."
"That's nothing, dear, just wait till you get your own wand. Speaking of wands." he said as we started walking down the crowded street. "We'll stop to get that first."
"And are you paying for all of this? Because I have no money what-so-ever." I told him. There was no way that my father would get away with not paying for anything.
"Well, of course I'm paying for it. There's not much of a choice is there."
We passed a store where lots of kids were crowding around the window. It was very strange to see teenage boys looking at a broomstick.
"It's the new Lightning Bolt 1000!" a boy said.
"The best in the world I heard." another boy said.
"Well, I heard that it's even better than the Fire Bolt, and is mainly for seekers!" the first one said.
"Harry, Ron, come on! We have to go get our books!"
"That's all you ever think about!" Ron said.
"Are you saying that you don't want to go out with me because I'm into books too much?" she said.
"Well, well, well." my dad said as we came up to them. "It's the magnificent trio. It's too bad the famous Harry Potter is a third wheel now." He said.
"Just because you were doesn't mean I am." Harry said.
"That will be-"
"Excuse me, Professor Snape, but you can't take house points if you are not at Hogwarts, and school hasn't even started yet. It's in the handbook." She said.
"Well, aren't you just a little book worm!" I said.
"Diamond, don't get in this. Ms. Granger, watch who you are talking to. I'll be making sure that no one," he said as he looked at Harry. "steps out of line this year."
"Wait a minute. Are you Diamond Nelson?" she asked.
"So what if I am." I replied. How on earth could this preppy little book worm have known my name.
"I'm Hermione Granger. I'm going to be showing you around Hogwarts."
"What's that, the dump?"
"Ms. Nelson, Hogwarts is the school in which you will be going to. Ms. Granger, some how, is the Head Girl. You have all of your classes together. And most of them are with Weasley and Potter too." he said with disgust in his voice.
"Well, then, I guess I'll have to become friends with you sooner or later. I of course am Diamond Nelson, I know that your Hermione Granger. But I don't know you two." I replied. I loved being the weird one.
"I'm Ron Weasley." he said. He had red hair and a lot of freckles. His long black jacket was just a little too short.
"I'm Harry Potter." the other said. He had brown tangled hair. And a scar on his forehead.
"Well, why are you famous, as Professor Snape has put it?" I asked.
"Because he is a complete idiot." someone said from behind.
"Malfoy." Harry said.
"Potter. How pleasant, are you giving out autographs again? Telling your life's story? How touching."
"Get a life of your own." I said. I didn't like this guy. He had blonde hair and a silk long coat.
"Well, who is this?" he asked.
"Malfoy, what are you doing here. Are you with anyone?" my dad asked.
"Professor Snape, how nice to see you again. I'm here with my mother, she needed some books so I came to explore." he said.
"How interesting." dad replied.
"I don't care if you came with an elephant, you have no right to be a snob." I said.
"Diamond!" dad said.
"Yes Professor?" I asked sweetly.
"No, Professor, I want to know what Diamond has to say." Malfoy said.
"Fist of all, Malfoy, you look like you think you're the best. You probably walk around everywhere pretending you own the place. Secondly, get that smirk off your face. I don't like you one bit and I don't care what you think about me."
"Please excuse her, she's American." Dad said. I gave him an evil glare.
"Well, Diamond, since that's a pretty name. Are your parents pure bloods?" Malfoy asked.
"That's all you think about isn't it Malfoy." Hermione said. "If a person isn't pure blood then you hate them right?"
"Only a mud blood like you would know."
"I think it's time to go, don't you think. Draco, I'll bring you to your mother." My dad said.
"Professor, I wanted to see a fist fight, you ruin the fun." I complained.
"Wait till you get to school," Draco said. "You'll be seeing a fight every day between Potter and me."
"I don't think I like you at all." I said. "you're an arrogant brat."
"So, about your parents." Draco said ignoring her.
"My father and mother died. My father was a wizard, but my mother was non magical." I replied.
"Well, that sucks. Your mother was a filthy mud blood."
I stopped in my tracks. "Never insult my mother like that!" I said. I turned looked at him and punched him in the nose. He was so shocked that he fell on his butt.
"You bi-"
"Malfoy, that's enough. Diamond, apologize." my dad said.
"Why? He should have never said that." I said with a grin.
"Apologize!" he repeated.
"your not my father." I replied nicely. And I walked off.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* _*_*_*_*_
(Snape's view)
I can't believe she did that. I can't believe he said that. But I can't give away that I'm her father. Especially to a Death Eater's son. Even though Malfoy Senior is in Azkaban.
"Malfoy, I'm sorry she punched you. She's the new transfer student from America. You know how American's are. I'll talk to her. You will be apologized to." I said. It was the best I could do.
Just then she came strolling back.
"Um, Professor, I don't know where I am going. Didn't you say something about getting me a wand?" I asked.
"You don't even have a wand?" Malfoy said. "That's pathetic. And your going to be in all the advanced classes with Granger. Good luck!"
"I'll do just fine, thank you. No help from anyone else, either." Diamond replied.
"Okay, into the store, the both of you." I said. We had just reached an old looking bookstore. We walked in and saw walls and walls of books. Sorts of books that my daughter would never have seen before.
"Ah, Mrs. Malfoy, how are you today?" I asked.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* _*_*_*_*_
(Draco's view)
"Fine, thanks," said my mom. "And how about you?" she was still looking down at a book.
"Fine. I just thought I would bring back your son." he said. Great I'm in trouble now, I thought.
"And were did he linger off to today?" she asked, looking up this time.
"He just thought he would check out the new quittitch supplies. I found him though." he replied.
"Draco, why is your nose bleeding?" mom asked.
"I'm sorry ma'am. That was my doing. You see, your son insulted my deceased mother. So, me, being American, I punched him. I'm saying sorry to you because I refuse to say sorry to him." I can't believe she just said that. She is going to get me into so much trouble. My father would have been pleased but my mother hated when I did that.
"Draco, will you apologize to this young lady?" she said more as an order than a question.
"I'm sorry Diamond." I said defeated.
"Your apology is excepted." she said.
"Well, thank you for bringing my son back to me, Snape, I hope to see you soon." My mom said.
Snape just nodded as Mrs. Malfoy and Draco left the store.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* _*_*_*_*_
(Diamond's view)
"Well, what now?" I asked happily.
"Well, since we are here we might as well get your books." he said. "let's see, you need just about everything since you missed so much."
"Can I help you?" an older looking guy asked. (Older looking as in 30's)
"We need a lot of books." I said.
"Well Miss, which ones would that be." He asked.
"We need everything on this list." dad said as he passed the guy the list.
The list was very long:
The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1-6) By Miranda Goshawk
A History of Magic By Bathilda Bagshot
Magical Theory By Adalbert Waffling
A Beginners' Guide to Transfiguration By Emeric Switch
One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi By Phyllida Spore
Magical Drafts and Potions By Arsenius Jigger
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them By Newt Scamander
The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self Protection By Quentin Trimble
Hogwarts: A History By Lemony Snicker
Newt Level: Potions By George Strait
Newt Level: Transfiguration By LeAnn Rimes
Newt Level: Defense Against the Dark Arts By Faith Hill
Newt Level: Runes By Tom Toshiba
Newt Level: Care for Magical Creatures By Rubeus Hagrid
Newt Level: Herbology By Julie Hart
Newt Level: Astronomy By John Colin
"That's a long list." I told my father.
"Well, you need to get caught up don't you. " he replied. We had about four bags full of books. "I want you to wait in that store while I bring all of these books home, okay?" He asked.
"Alright." I said, but just then he disappeared again. I walked into what looked like a clothes store. There were many coats like the long ones those kids were wearing.
"May I help you?" a lady asked.
"Um, I guess so." I didn't really know what I was supposed to do in this store. My father had only told me to come in here and wait.
"Are you going to Hogwarts?" She asked.
"Yes I am. What am I supposed to get in here?" I asked.
"Well, your robes of course. Come now stand on this stool." she lead me to a stool by a huge mirror. "What kind of robes would you like to have dear?"
"She'll have three silk, three cotton, and three wool. She also needs a winter jacket and dress robes." My father had just came into the store. He looked rather tired. His eyes were always looking around.
"Professor Snape, how nice to see you here. Would that be all for the young lady?" She asked.
"Yes." he said.
It took about a half an hour to get measured, and fit into every robe. My father wanted everything to be perfect. It was weird that we were out of there in just a short time. I had gotten nine pairs of black robes and a nice light blue robe. They seemed to call a dress robe.
"Where are we headed on?" I asked my father.
"I want to get you a broom." he replied.
"Why, it's not like I'm going to be sweeping the school." I added. "I'm not Cinderella."
"Cinder who?" he asked.
"Never mind. Forget it, okay." geese, he wouldn't even know the stories I've been told when I was a child. This was going to be a hard year. This man knew nothing about me. He didn't even know my favorite color.
"You'll need a broom for quittitch."
"What the hell is that?" I asked. It sounded like some kind of battle.
"Well, it's a game sort of like muggle soccer. Except it's played in the air. It's complicated. I'll let your new friends explain it to you."
We walked up to the broom store and went inside. My father got me that new model, the Lightning Bolt 1000. I didn't really want it, but it was a present form my father. I couldn't refuse.
After we went to numerous stores to get very weird instruments we entered a store that said: Olavanders: Maker of fine wands since 543 B.C.
"Ah, Mr. Snape. Nice to see you here. I haven't seen you here since you had broken your first wand in a fight with James Potter. 13 inches with a wear wolves hair. Nice touch I think. So, how can I help you?" he asked.
There were thin boxes everywhere. On shelves, on desks, and even on stools. It was very strange.
"I'm here to get a student her wand. Her name is-"
"Diamond Nelson, it's nice to meet you my deer." he said.
"How did you know my name?" it was strange that he would know my name when no one else did.
"I know everyone that is in need of a wand, Ms. Nelson. Lets see, lets start you out with one of these," he said as he handed me a black stick.
"What do I do with it?"
"Just give it a little wave." he said.
This is so stupid. nothing is going to happen if I just wave the stick. I gave it a swish and many of the boxes on the shelves fell off.
"No, I don't think so." Mr. Olavander said. We went through twenty wands. Some black, some brown. Finally he gave me a different wand. This one was white, with sliver inscriptions on the side. When he handed it to me the room lit up so much.
"I think that something is wrong with this one." I said.
"No, Ms. Nelson, I think that it's perfect for you. The wand picks the person, dear. Now, this wand is very special. It has a hair of a veela. Very special if you ask me. I think it's safe to say that we should be seeing a lot of magic out of you, even if it is your first year." he said.
Dad paid the guy and then we left. I was very happy to be leaving that place.
"That guy freaks me out." I said.
"Get used to it. Many people will be 'freaking you out.' you'll just have to deal with it." he said.
"Where are we going now?" I asked him.
"We are going to your new home." dad said.
"Do I get my own room?" I asked.
"Yes, Diamond, you do." and with that we walked back into the old looking pub again. Went to the fire place and entered my new home.
A/N: Sorry it was sooo long. I tried to sum it up. hope you enjoyed it.. I tried to make it a little exciting. Enjoy! R&R! I will only be doing Diamond and Hermione's views for now on. Thanks for the first two reviews I got. Even though one was a flame. IF YOU WANT TO FLAME ME: I will be reading your stories and deciding if they should be flamed too. thanks! WOW 3217 words in this chapter! Sorry for all of the misspelled words from the book. I was unpacking and I couldn't find a single one of my Harry Potter books. so this is all of what I can remember. Thanks! Keep reading!
Love always

Time to be Me
Chapter 4
"So, where are we going?" I asked my dad.
"We're going to Diagon Alley." He replied.
Great, I thought. I get to go to a place that I've never heard about before. But the question was, how were we going to get there. I mean, my father didn't come by car, or plane. There was no way I was going to just disappear into thin air like he seemed to be doing a lot.
"Hey dad?"
"what?"
"How are we getting to this Diagon Alley? I mean, I'm not disappearing into thin air!" I replied.
"Well, we are going to travel by flow powder. You of course will be very frightened by this. It's travel by fire. But of course you won't be burned in any way." He pulled out a sack from his big coat.
"what's that for?" I don't like this, I thought. I don't want to travel like this at all.

"Hello Snape. Is this that student that is here from America?" she asked. Great, I thought, everyone knows about me.

I can't believe she did that. I can't believe he said that. But I can't give away that I'm her father. Especially to a Death Eater's son. Even though Malfoy Senior is in Azkaban.

"Fine, thanks," said my mom. "And how about you?" she was still looking down at a book.
"Fine. I just thought I would bring back your son." he said. Great I'm in trouble now, I thought.
"And were did he linger off to today?" she asked, looking up this time.

"Draco, will you apologize to this young lady?" she said more as an order than a question.
"I'm sorry Diamond." I said defeated.
"Your apology is excepted." she said.
"Well, thank you for bringing my son back to me, Snape, I hope to see you soon." My mom said.
Snape just nodded as Mrs. Malfoy and Draco left the store.

"Well, what now?" I asked happily.
"Well, since we are here we might as well get your books." he said. "let's see, you need just about everything since you missed so much."
"Can I help you?" an older looking guy asked. (Older looking as in 30's)
"We need a lot of books." I said.
"Well Miss, which ones would that be." He asked.
"We need everything on this list." dad said as he passed the guy the list.
The list was very long:

"That's a long list." I told my father.
"Well, you need to get caught up don't you. " he replied. We had about four bags full of books. "I want you to wait in that store while I bring all of these books home, okay?" He asked.
"Alright." I said, but just then he disappeared again. I walked into what looked like a clothes store. There were many coats like the long ones those kids were wearing.
"May I help you?" a lady asked.
"Um, I guess so." I didn't really know what I was supposed to do in this store. My father had only told me to come in here and wait.
"Are you going to Hogwarts?" She asked.
"Yes I am. What am I supposed to get in here?" I asked.
"Well, your robes of course. Come now stand on this stool." she lead me to a stool by a huge mirror. "What kind of robes would you like to have dear?"
"She'll have three silk, three cotton, and three wool. She also needs a winter jacket and dress robes." My father had just came into the store. He looked rather tired. His eyes were always looking around.
"Professor Snape, how nice to see you here. Would that be all for the young lady?" She asked.
"Yes." he said.
It took about a half an hour to get measured, and fit into every robe. My father wanted everything to be perfect. It was weird that we were out of there in just a short time. I had gotten nine pairs of black robes and a nice light blue robe. They seemed to call a dress robe.
"Where are we headed on?" I asked my father.
"I want to get you a broom." he replied.
"Why, it's not like I'm going to be sweeping the school." I added. "I'm not Cinderella."
"Cinder who?" he asked.
"Never mind. Forget it, okay." geese, he wouldn't even know the stories I've been told when I was a child. This was going to be a hard year. This man knew nothing about me. He didn't even know my favorite color.
"You'll need a broom for quittitch."
"What the hell is that?" I asked. It sounded like some kind of battle.
"Well, it's a game sort of like muggle soccer. Except it's played in the air. It's complicated. I'll let your new friends explain it to you."
We walked up to the broom store and went inside. My father got me that new model, the Lightning Bolt 1000. I didn't really want it, but it was a present form my father. I couldn't refuse.
After we went to numerous stores to get very weird instruments we entered a store that said: Olavanders: Maker of fine wands since 543 B.C.
"Ah, Mr. Snape. Nice to see you here. I haven't seen you here since you had broken your first wand in a fight with James Potter. 13 inches with a wear wolves hair. Nice touch I think. So, how can I help you?" he asked.
There were thin boxes everywhere. On shelves, on desks, and even on stools. It was very strange.
"I'm here to get a student her wand. Her name is-"
"Diamond Nelson, it's nice to meet you my deer." he said.
"How did you know my name?" it was strange that he would know my name when no one else did.
"I know everyone that is in need of a wand, Ms. Nelson. Lets see, lets start you out with one of these," he said as he handed me a black stick.
"What do I do with it?"
"Just give it a little wave." he said.
This is so stupid. nothing is going to happen if I just wave the stick. I gave it a swish and many of the boxes on the shelves fell off.
"No, I don't think so." Mr. Olavander said. We went through twenty wands. Some black, some brown. Finally he gave me a different wand. This one was white, with sliver inscriptions on the side. When he handed it to me the room lit up so much.
"I think that something is wrong with this one." I said.
"No, Ms. Nelson, I think that it's perfect for you. The wand picks the person, dear. Now, this wand is very special. It has a hair of a veela. Very special if you ask me. I think it's safe to say that we should be seeing a lot of magic out of you, even if it is your first year." he said.
Dad paid the guy and then we left. I was very happy to be leaving that place.
"That guy freaks me out." I said.
"Get used to it. Many people will be 'freaking you out.' you'll just have to deal with it." he said.
"Where are we going now?" I asked him.
"We are going to your new home." dad said.
"Do I get my own room?" I asked.
"Yes, Diamond, you do." and with that we walked back into the old looking pub again. Went to the fire place and entered my new home.
A/N: Sorry it was sooo long. I tried to sum it up. hope you enjoyed it.. I tried to make it a little exciting. Enjoy! R&R! I will only be doing Diamond and Hermione's views for now on. Thanks for the first two reviews I got. Even though one was a flame. IF YOU WANT TO FLAME ME: I will be reading your stories and deciding if they should be flamed too. thanks! WOW 3217 words in this chapter! Sorry for all of the misspelled words from the book. I was unpacking and I couldn't find a single one of my Harry Potter books. so this is all of what I can remember. Thanks! Keep reading!
