Chapter Two
With my mother right beside me, we arrived overseas at about 9 am (considering the time differences). Looking all around at my new surroundings, I heard my mom's name being called. "Lynn!" Both of us were looking for the source of the deep manly voice when I spotted an 8 foot monster of a man coming our way. My mother spotted this also and began walk toward him with a smile on her face.
"HAGRID! How are you? It's been too long!" My mom hugged the huge man then stepped away.
"Oy, its been as good as to be expected I spose. And who might we have 'ere?" He said looking down to me.
"Oh yes of course. This would be my daughter, Madison Jade. Madison, I would like you to meet my good ol' friend, Hagrid." She beamed to me as I shook his hand. "He will be taking you to Diagon Alley for all of your needed supplies and then he will take you on to Hogwarts. I sent him a letter yesterday telling him about you and what all you would need."
"But o' course. My, you look just like ye mother! Always beautiful and cunning." Unable to keep from it, I blushed as he continued. "Well I spose we'll be getting' along now. Wouldn't want to be late!"
"I love you mom. I'll write to you and tell you everything." I said while giving my mom a huge hug.
"Ok dear. Have fun, and Hagrid." my mom looked up, "take care of her for me."
"Oy Lynn, no worries. She'll be jus fine." he smiled to her as we began to walk away and I waved a final good-bye. I was on my way to Hogwarts.
After leading me from the airport and making small talk along the way, he led me up to a shop called The Leaky Cauldron. Thinking curiously about the name, I still followed the monstrous man. We didn't stop to even glance around the store, just walked straight through it to what seemed like a back door. But after stepping out of the door, all I could see was a large brick wall blocking any passage way.
Staring in wonder, I watched as Hagrid brought out an umbrella and tapped a few stones in a patterned motion. There before my eyes I saw the bricks begin to fold away, revealing a passage way into a lively yet friendly looking alley way.
"Well, me dear. Welcome to Diagon Alley." Hagrid beamed with a smile.
"Wow." I said as I looked around me. People coming in and out of shops carrying many things, some which were stranger than others.
"Ye mother told me to go and draw some money out of your dads old account for you to buy your supplies with. He left you quite a bit. If you ever need any, come 'n find ol' Hagrid and I'll get it out for ye." he smiled.
"Thanks." I said as he handed me the money.
"Come with me. We'll go right ahead and get you a pet." he said with a sparkle in his eye.
After walking into the shop, I spotted the most beautiful owl. It was snow white with the iciest baby blue eyes you've ever seen. "ooh Hagrid! I want her!" I pointed.
"Well alright then!" he smiled and went to find the clerk as I walked over to her cage and examined the magnificent creature. It was there I decided to name her Mystic for her mysterious and beautiful looks. I paid for Mystic then we proceeded to the next shops.
An hour past as I went to all the other stores. While going through all of these I came up with my robes, school books, a 9 inch wand with a Phoenix's feather and cherry wood, and a small cauldron.
"Wow, got a lil carried away 'ere with the shoppin' and huntin'! Didn't realize the time." Hagrid sounded surprised as he gazed at his watch. "I suppose we should get you to Platform 9 ¾!"
It was 10 minutes till 11, which was when the Hogwarts train left the station. We walked through to the space between Platform 9 and 10. Hagrid handed me my ticket and told me to watch these two boys about my age. As I watched them, they stood back and ran full force towards the brick wall and VANISHED! My eyes grew to the size of golf balls and my chin hit the floor. "Did they....I mean...they didn't...." I stumbled
Hagrid chuckled. "Go right ahead, once ye pass through the wall the train is right in front of ye!" He bent down to my height, "I'll see ye there, and have fun!" He stood straight again and watched as I took off in a sprint to the wall and came out right in front of the train!
