"is that Harry Potter?" said Trey
"Harry who?" said Alexia. Zane stared at her in disbelief.
"the one who brought around the down-fall of you-know-who!" said Zane.
"you-know-who?" said Alexia.
"we'll fill you in later, we need Hagrid to open the wall," said Ace. They watched Harry shake hands and Hagrid finally got him outside where Zane, Ace, Alexia, and Trey were waiting.
"Hagrid!" said Zane. Hagrid looked down.
"Zane! Ace! Bless you, cause almost as much trouble as the Weasley twins!" said Hagrid happily.
"you taking Harry to get his school stuff?" asked Ace.
"yeah," said Harry quietly. Zane stepped forward mockingly.
"mister Potter, forgive me for being so rude!" said Zane in a house-elf voice. "these are Zane's friends, Ace, Alexia, and Trey," to top it off he bowed.
"Zane, cut it out while I open this damned wall.." said Hagrid. They watched as Hagrid tapped the bricks. A shop-lined street was revealed behind the wall, a buzzing hive of people.
"where are you going first?" asked Ace
"Gringotts," said Hagrid.
"we're going to get books first, we'll see you around," said Zane. They went their separate ways and went into Flourish and Blott's.
"Hogwarts? First year?" asked the manager.
"you know it!" said Trey. The manager lead them over to a table with several spell books on it.
"there should be enough for the lot of you here," said The manager. Alexia pulled out a list and checked off which books they had, She had to go ask for a copy of The Standard Book of Spells. They paid and bought potion ingredients, protective gloves, scales, and the only things left on the lists was robes and wands.
"where to next?" said Trey.
"madame Malcom's" said Zane. They went into the robe shop and stood on stools while women pinned robes up on them. Alexia was put on a stool next to some blonde with a drawling voice, she didn't pay attention to a word he said. Something about brooms and muggles. When they finally got outside they started laughing about everything the boy had said.
"I think I'll bully my father into buying me a broom and smuggle it in so I can crash into trees," said Alexia. It was a feeble attempt at a joke, but it was good that she was smiling and joking. Finally they got to Ollivander's wand shop. Zane and Ace gulped.
"I heard this guy's real creepy," said Ace quietly, as they came through the door.
"creepy indeed," said an old man. He looked at Trey. "redwood, unicorn tail hair, eleven inches!" he said pulling a box from one of the cluttered shelves and opening it. Trey took the wand.
"well, wave it!" said Zane. Trey waved it. Blue sparks shot out.
"well, well, we have a match, I just sold a wand to mister Potter you know," said Mr. Ollivander. "very difficult customer,"
"Harry was here?" said Zane.
" willow, dragon heartstring, fourteen inches," said Mr. Ollivander, pulling another wand from the shelf and handing it to Zane. "wave it!". A frog flew across the room from the tip of Zane's wand.
"yet another match!" He looked over at Ace. "dragon heart string , ash, thirteen inches." He handed Ace a wand, sure enough it worked, a little white bunny popped out of the wand. Finally he got to Alexia.
"ebony, phoenix tail feather, twelve inches," he said at almost a whisper. He handed her a wand. She waved it. A silver puff of smoke came from the wand, it turned into a unicorn, reared up, and vanished.
"well, done!" said Mr. Ollivander. They payed their galleons and went back to the leaky cauldron. But when they got back only Rosemerta was waiting for them.
"yer parent /sibling, have arranged that you two are going to stay with me and the boys until it's time for school," said Rosemerta. "and I expect you two on your best behavior!" she said, eyeing the twins.
"Harry who?" said Alexia. Zane stared at her in disbelief.
"the one who brought around the down-fall of you-know-who!" said Zane.
"you-know-who?" said Alexia.
"we'll fill you in later, we need Hagrid to open the wall," said Ace. They watched Harry shake hands and Hagrid finally got him outside where Zane, Ace, Alexia, and Trey were waiting.
