Ch 2
Renee flew to London 4 days after she received her letter. Her mother said she wanted to get some sight-seeing, and 'mother-daughter' time in before Renee had to go to school. It had been hard on Renee to leave all of her friends behind, and she was certain that she wouldn't make any at the school. The one thing she was glad of was that she was able to take her cat, Whiskers.
That Wednesday, they headed to the Diagon Alley. Before shopping, they stopped in the Leaky Cauldron to have a mug of butterbeer. They talked about how Renee would get home for Christmas, and her mom assured her that she would be waiting at the station for her.
Renee felt as if she was the only non-magic born student going to Hogwarts. She was ENTIRELY wrong about the whole thing, and as she would soon find out, NOTHING was as she thought it was. She was in for a real shock.
Back at the Burrow, Mrs. Weasley reached for a flowerpot off the mantel.
She offered Harry the pot, and he just stared at them all wondering what to do.
"Oh. Sorry, Harry, I forgot. Mum, he's never traveled by Floo powder before," Ron suddenly stated.
"Ahh. Well then, you can go first, Ron. Show him how it's done," Mrs. Weasley said.
Taking a handful of sparkling powder out of the flower pot, he threw it into the flames. With a loud roar, the fire grew higher, and turned green. Ron stepped right into them, and shouted, "Diagon Alley!" then disappeared.
"You next, Harry dear," Mrs. Weasley said, offering him the pot once more. He took a small handful and threw it into the into the blaze, took a deep breath, and stepped into the flames.
He coughed right when he was saying "Diagon Alley."
When Harry didn't show up, the Weasleys were very worried. Then then Ginny saw Hagrid leading Harry up to where there were standing.
"Look mum!" she said pointing at Harry.
"Oh thank goodness! We were so worried!" said Mrs. Weasley, squeezing him to death, "Where was he Hagrid?"
"Knockturn Alley," the abnormally tall man told her.
"Knockturn Alley?" The twins asked with wide eyes, "What was it like? We've never been allowed in."
Harry laughed, and they headed into the Ice Cream shop for a sundae, where they met Hermione.
Renee and her mother had headed to Gringotts, and exchanged ordinary U.S. cash, for wizard money. Then, they had set out back into Diagon Alley with a pouch of galleons, knuts, and sickles.
She was looking over the many shelves of books at Flourish and Blotts, when a red-haired girl, about the same age as her walked up.
"Hi," she said offering her hand, "I'm Ginny Weasley."
Renee shook Ginny's hand and said, "Renee O'Conner."
Ginny's face twisted into a funny expression.
"What?" Renee asked, wondering what she had done wrong.
"You talk funny."
Renee didn't know whether to laugh it off or scowl. Her expression was blank.
Ginny, sensing Renee's confusion then said, "Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset, it's just that your accent is strange. You're not British, are you?"
Renee laughed, "No, I'm American."
"Wow. An American witch! I've never met one before!"
Renee smiled and grabbed a copy of Hogwarts: A History off of the shelf and adding it to her basket, that was already full of new Gilderoy Lockhart books.
"Are you going to Hogwarts?" Ginny asked her.
"Awesome! Me too!! Do you want to come meet my brothers, and some friends?"
"Sure," Renee nodded. Maybe she'd have friends there after all.
