Chapter 3: Diagon Alley and the Trip to Hogwarts
As Harry stepped out onto the bustling Diagon Alley, he felt free. Harry made a mental note of the things he needed. I need new robes, Potion kit refills, books, quills, and a fair amount of parchment, he said to himself.
Harry started by going to his vault in Gringotts to refill his moneybag. He then moved onto Madame Malkin's robes for all occasions to get his new robes and winter cloak. After they had been folded and packed into a bag, he thanked Madame Malkin, before leaving the shop.
Harry followed that by going to the apothecary to refill his potion kit. After that, he went into Stationary 4 School, a new shop next to Eeylop's Owl Emporium. He went into it, and brought some new quills and heaps of parchment.
He quickly dropped into Eeylop's Owl Emporium to get some owl treats for Hedwig, before making his way to Flourish and Blotts.
He brought all his books he needed, and brought two others. They were called Curses and counter-curses, by Professor Vindictus Virdian.
The other was called Quidditch Techniques used by the Quidditch greats, by Wendell Fling.
Afterwards, Harry sat down outside Florean Fortescue's Ice-cream Parlour and ordered a double-chocolate Sundae. He was almost finished, when he saw Lupin and Kingsley appear at the end of Diagon Alley. He quickly got up and walked into the inside of Florean Fortescue's, which was very crowded. He paid for his sundae and stayed in the crowd until they had passed him.
Harry went back to the Leaky Cauldron. Harry bolted up to his room. He dropped his shopping on the ground. He started pacing back and forth across the wooden floor of the room. Harry started running his hands through his hair. He needed to think of a plan, fast. 'Calm down' Harry said to himself. There was no need to panic. Harry took a deep breath. Harry picked up his shopping off the ground and placed it on his bed. Harry went and had a shower to cool off. After he got out, Harry decided to do his homework. By the time he finished, it was dark.
Harry cautiously went down the stairs. He looked around; making sure No one he knew was there. Harry sighed in relief. He ordered his dinner and sat down in a very remote corner. Harry quickly ate his food. He paid for it and went back up to his room. Harry got changed into his pyjamas. He put his shopping in the corner, before climbing into bed, where he fell asleep as his head hit the pillow.
He was falling, falling through the sky. He hit water. He plummeted through it. Harry looked around. There were things in this water, bodies. In an instant, they came alive. Harry's eyes widened in shock. They looked like his Parents, Cedric, people he did not know and.... Sirius. They started coming over to Harry. They started murmuring. Harry started to panic. "You killed us, we'll kill you". He grabbed hold of him. He could not breathe. Just as quickly, as they grabbed him, they were off him. Sirius had his wand out. "Goodbye Harry" he said. A green light came out of the end of Sirius' wand. Just as it was about to hit him, Harry awoke.
Harry woke up breathing hard. He was all sweaty. Harry got up out of bed. He went over to his trunk. Harry searched through it until he found what he was looking for. He pulled out a shattered mirror. It was a gift that Sirius gave him. He stood up, "Sirius, Sirius Black" he said. But nothing happened. Harry hurled it at the wall, where it hit, and broke completely. Harry laid back on his bed.
The time passed as Harry stayed in Diagon Alley. He only left his room for food and for the occasional nighttime stroll in muggle London. Before Long, It was time to go to King's Cross-to catch the Hogwarts Express. Harry packed his trunk, making sure he did not forget anything. He pulled his trunk down the stairs and into the pub. Harry almost died of shock. There talking to tom, the innkeeper, was none other but Albus Dumbledore and Remus Lupin. Harry quickly pulled his Trunk out of the pub and into muggle London, found his trunk was a lot heavier than he expected.
Remus looked up, just in time to see a raven-haired boy pull his Trunk out of the Pub. He whispered to Dumbledore, who nodded. They excused themselves and followed Harry out. When they got out of the pub the saw Harry putting his trunk in a boot of a taxi and was about to get in, when he saw them. Panic crossed the teenager's face. Harry quickly jumped into the taxi and drove away. The two older men were left standing on the pavement.
Harry arrived at Kings Cross a short time later. He paid the taxi driver with the money he had exchanged and got out off the taxi. Harry got his trunk and put it on a trolley, before continuing on his way to platform 9 ¾. When Harry got onto the platform, He put his trunk on the train and went to the last carriage on the train. About 15 minutes later, he felt the soft movement of the train.
The compartment door opened and Hermione and Ron walked in. Harry looked at them as they sat down. "So how was your summer, Harry?", Hermione asked earnestly. "Fine" Harry said back. An uncomfortable silence followed. "So what have you been up to?" Harry asked finally, looking at both of them. Ron's ears started to go red. "Oh, nothing really. Just hanging around, doing homework and stuff" Hermione said rather quickly. Again, there was a silence. Hermione started to fidget, as if she wanted to say something, but Ron shook his head. "We've been really worried about you Harry" Hermione said finally. "You don't have to worry, I'm fine" Harry said angrily. Just then, Malfoy and his goons walked in. "What do you want, Malfoy?" Harry said, standing up. "Oh, nothing we were just wondering how your dear godfather is" Malfoy sneered. In seconds, Harry had Malfoy by the collar of his shirt. "Harry, NO!" Hermione yelled. But that did not stop Harry. He drew his hand back and punched Malfoy in the face. He did it repeatedly. He let Malfoy go after about half a dozen and sat back down on the train seat. Malfoy stood up and quickly walking out, Crabbe and Goyle following him. Hermione sat, gaping at Harry.
There was a knock on the door, and Ginny walked in. "Prefect meeting" she said in a rather bored tone. "Okay, Thanks" Ron said. Ginny gave them a weird look, before walking out. "Harry we need to go" Hermione said. "You do that," Harry said in a voice of boredom. Hermione and Ron walked out, leaving Harry alone, just what Harry wanted.
Time passed slowly on the train. Harry changed into his robes about ¾ through the trip. He did not see Ron and Hermione until he got off. They stood next to him, all the way up to Hogwarts. They sat down in the great hall.
