Chapter 5 Potter Manor and Diagon Alley

Everyone woke in their rooms in the hotel and met in Remus's room with their luggage.

Remus was holding a flashlight and explained, "This is a port key; it will take us to Harry's house. Everyone grab on."

The six teens grabbed hold of it and were transported to the red and gold living room of Potter Manor.

Remus said happily, "Harry, Welcome home."

Harry exclaimed, "WOW AMAZING!"

They all went into the dinning room were they the rest of the Weasleys, Dumbledore, and members of the Order of Phoenix at the table.

Dumbledore said, "Danny, Sam, and Tucker, you three are going to Hogwarts with Harry, Ron, and Hermione as students. Tucker, the week of the full moon, you will get a potion from Prof. Snape who kindly agreed to provide the Wolfsbane Potion for you and Prof. Lupin, and you will go with Prof. Lupin to Shrieking Shack for safety reasons Harry, the Potter family owns a broom company."

Harry asked excitedly, "What broom company do I own?"

Dumbledore said, "Comet."

Mrs. Weasley asked, "Are you six ready to go?"

The teenagers nodded.

Remus explained, "We are going to use floo powder; all you have to do as throw the powder in the fire and say Diagon Alley. Molly and I will apparate there. Everyone can go into the fireplace at the same time."

The six teenagers threw the floo powder and said, "Diagon Alley."

They all landed in Diagon Alley where Molly and Remus were waiting. They all got their robes for school.

Danny said excitedly, "Come on lets get our wands."

They all went into Olivlander's after they got money from Gringnots.

Mr. Olivlander said in a mysterious voice, "Ms. Manson, Mr. Fotley, and Mr. Fenton, I've been excepting you. Ms. Manson, what is your wand hand?"

Sam replied, "I'm left handed."

Mr. Olivlander handed her a wand and said, "It is a 14 inches mahogany wand with a core of a unicorn's tail hair, very good for transfiguration. Go ahead, wave it."

Sam waved it and gold sparks came out of it.

Mr. Olivlander said, "Prefect. That will be ten sickles. Mr. Fotley, what is your wand hand?" Sam paid for it and then went with Hermione to the bookstore.

Tucker said, "Right."

Mr. Olivlander said, "Try this, it is 13 inches mahogany wand with a core of a bog myrtle, very good for transfiguration."

Tucker waved it and gold stars shot out of it. He paid and walked outside to get some air.

Mr. Olivlander asked, "Mr. Fenton, what is your wand hand?"

Danny answered, "Right."

Mr. Olivlander handed Danny a wand and said, "It is 12 ½ inches cherry wand with a core of a wood rose."

Danny knocked boxes off the shelves. Mr. Olivlander snatched it away from him and said as handing him another wand, "Try this one, it is 16 inches Solid Lignum Vitae wand with a core of a dragon's whisker, very good for healing charms."

Danny waved it and glass broke. Mr. Olivlander said, "Try this one, it is a 14 inches willow wand with a core of a unicorn tail hair. Good for divination."

Danny waved it and it made a hole in the wall. Mr. Olivlander said as handing him another wand, "Try this wand; it is 14 ¼ inches rosewood wand with a core of a unicorn's mane hair. Good for healing charms."

Danny waved it and it shrunk.

Mr. Olivlander said as rummaging the shelves, "Um, a tricky costumer; a lot like Mr. Potter."

Harry suggested, "Danny can try my wand."

Mr. Olivlander said, "Never let another wizard use your wand. Mr. Fenton, I know I have the prefect wand for you. Try this one, it is 14 ½ Solid Oak with Red Cedar Handle, good for warding off dark arts."

Danny waved it and it flipped over. Danny said, "I'll have better luck if I make my own wand."

Mr. Olivlander said as handing Danny a wand, "Try this one; it is 12 ¾ inches black walnut/maple wand. Very good for charm work and warding off the Dark Arts."

Danny waved it and gold circles shot out of it. Mr. Olivlander said, "Very Good, Mr. Fenton. Very unusual combination, your wand is a brother to one of the Death Eaters, Peter Pettigrew. I can accept great things from you; Peter did great things at school but went bad. Mr. Potter, I have something that might be of a use to you."

Harry asked, "What is it?"

Mr. Olivlander answered as handing him a wand, "Dumbledore got the Ministry's permission to let you have two wands because of You-Know-Who. It is 12 ½ Holly and Ebony wand with a core of a griffin's feather, brother of Gryffindor's wand. Very good for spoken spells."

Harry waved it and gold, red, and green sparks shot out of it. Harry paid for it and left. They all went into the bookstore to get their school books, and then they went into Wizardly Wheezes.

Fred and George said in a joking manner, "Hello, how may we help you?"

Harry said, "We would like some skiving sick boxes."

Fred said, "We give you each a variety pack filled with skiving sick boxes and a lot of other joke stuff for only 5 galleons."

Harry paid the twins, and they all went into the pet store where Sam got a black cat that she named Merlin, and Harry bought a red and gold phoenix that he named Indy. They went to the owl store where Danny got a snowy owl that he named Darius, and Tucker got a brown barn owl that he named Morgana. They walked to the Quality Quiditch Supplies with Remus behind them.

Danny asked Harry curiously, "What's Quiditch?"

Harry explained, "It is like soccer but played on broomsticks with four balls. I am the Seeker which means I catch little golden ball with wings on it and the game's over. They're two Beaters who block the Bludgers, brown hard balls; they're three Chasers who score with the Quafle, a red ball about the size of a basketball. Finally, there is a Keeper which Ron's job who block goals from the other team. I am the captian."

Danny said, "Maybe I will try out for a Beater position."

Sam said, "I'll try out a chaser position."

Tucker asked Remus, "Can I play Quiditch too because of you know what?"

Remus answered, "Yes, you can."

Tucker said, "I want play Beater."

Hermione said, "Maybe I'll try out for a Chaser, so I'm getting a broom. Sam, I'll buy you one too."

Harry said nicely, "Wait a minute, I own a broom company. It is located in Diagon Alley. It will be a lot cheaper."

Ron asked, "What broom company do you own?"

Harry said as he saw a brick building with the word Comet on it, "Comet."

They walked into the building and saw a woman with blonde hair and hazel eyes working on brooms.

The woman said, "I'm Gwen Meddleson. Harry Potter, very nice meeting you."

Harry asked politely, "Do you have any good brooms for my friends and me?"

Gwen answered, "Why don't you tell me what you want? I'll make them right away."

Harry said, "Gwen, I was thinking making brooms for each position of Quiditch."

Gwen handing a broom with gold letters that Comet Seeker on it to Harry, "It is a specialty designed for quick dives and movements of the Seeker. I also have Comet Beaters which are indestructible and not terribly fast for the Beaters; I have Comet Chasers which are designed for the speed of Chasers trying to score goals. Last, I have Comet Keepers which are designed for the blocking of goals. It's all free."

Gwen shrunk the brooms to pocket size, and the six teenagers had dinner in the Leaky Cauldron. They all flooed back to Harry's house where they went to bed, and all the rooms were red and green with four poster beds, wardrobes, and wooden desks.
