Chapter 6: Diagon Alley
After sauntering up to bed last night, Harry woke up very rested and feeling the best he had in a long time. When he walked downstairs, he found everyone but Fred, George and Ron at the breakfast table. Ron was right behind Harry on the steps. As they sat down at the table Mrs. Weasley told them all that their Hogwarts Letters had arrived and were on the table. This years list of books and other materials consisted of:

"Wicked, I got 8 O.W.L.S." Said Harry excitedly.
"Nice one Harry. I got 7 O.W.L.S." Said Ron seeming sad, "I wonder how many Hermione got?"
"I got 11 O.W.L.S!!" Said Hermione.
"Did anyone notice that we have new clases?" Said Harry, "I have a dueling class and an animagus class!"
"Nice! I don't have Divination this year! SWEET!" Said Ron happily.
"Ok, everyone, I think its time we left to go to Diagon Alley." Said Mrs. Weasley.
As they all discussed their results and classes, they flooed to Diagon Alley and got their books and other necessities. When Harry and Ron walked past the Quidditch Store, they opened their moutchs and started stammering. In the window was the newest racing broom from the Firebolt Company. The Zomnious. The card under the Zomnious read: The ZOMNIOUS: The fastest racing broom ever. 0-100 in 3.8 seconds. Has an anti-theft charm, has an unbreakable charm. Price: 65 Galleons.
"WHOA!" Said Ron who had started to drool, "65 GALLEON!!! What! That's insane!!!"
"I NEED A ZOMNIOUS!!!" Said Harry HARRY! Wake the fuck up, you have a perfectly good broom already, you don't need a new one. OH YES I DO! Harry screamed inside his head. All that he had to do was to go to Gringrotts, go to his vault and take out money.
As Harry walked away from the Quidditch Sotre, he thought about what he was going to o with his old broom. Maybe I'll donate it to charity. Yeah, that's what I'll do. Harry entered Grngrotts and told the goblin at the front desk that he wanted to make a withdrawal. When he got to his vault he took 70 galleons and went back to the Quidditch Store.
"Hello. How may I help you?" Said the store manager.
"Hi. I would like to buy a Zomnious." Said Harry confidently.
"Are you serious?" asked the man.
"Yeah. Here's the money."
"Ok, here you go."
"Thank you,"
Harry met everyone at Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes after he had gotten his broom. The store looked incredible. They had all types of tricks and other crazy stuff.
"Hey Harry, I see that you kept our secret." Said Fred who was manning the cash register.
"No problem Fred," said Harry, "I was glad to do it."
As Harry looked around the store he found the one thing that he wanted to get. He saw the fireworks that Fred and George used last year to create a diversion so that Harry could get into the cow's office (UMBRIDGE! EWWWW!!!). He had dcided to get the large crate. The item next to the fireworks were Switchamero Wands. These wands, when used, transformed you into the person the you last touched. Harry got 5 of them. After getting the crate of fireworks and the wands, he went up to Fred at the cash register and paid 4 galleons for everything.
After saying goodbye to Fred and George, Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione left with two bags each and they headed back to Grimmwauld place. When they got back, they all showed off their purchases. Ron had gotten 2 Switchamero Wands, two bags of Stink Pellets and 3 sets of Skiving Snackboxes. Ginny had also gotten 3 sets of Skiving Snackboxes, she also got a small crate of fireworks. Hermione got a book of pranks (typical Hermione), and surprisingly enough, she got a set of Skiving Snackboxes.
"Hermione got Skiving Sanckboxes!" Said Ron in amazment, "I can't believe it!"
"Well, I've decided to take it much more slowly, and possibly not study as...much." She said.
"COOL, Hermione is going to be one of us now! YAY!!!" Said Ron.
"No, Ron, I'm not going to be like you. You, barely study until a week before exams, I on the other hand will still study for things, but not 3 months ahead of time." Said Hermione.
"Oh, but will you start to skip some classes?" Asked Ron.
"Once a month I will, but if the teacher is horrible, then maybe twice s month." She replied.
After the discussion of Hermiones school life, they went to bed earlier than usual because they were going to start their training tomorrow. Harry fell asleep with a slight headache, but he overlooked it because he was excited about learning how to fight.
