Chapter 4 – Diagon Alley

"Come on get up, we want to get to Diagon Alley early." Mrs Weasleys voice sounded throughout the house.

"What time is it?" Harry asked Ron.

"Quarter to eight." Groaned Ron as he pulled the covers back over him.

"Hurry up you two we are waiting on you." Said Hermione.

"Looks like we have to get up mate," said Harry

Twenty minutes later they were downstairs. "About time," Said Mrs Weasley.

"How we getting there," asked Ron

"Flooing," said Lupin as he entered the kitchen. There was a tapping on the window. Lupin went over and opened it and a barn owl flew in left a stack of letters and flew off again.

"Hogwarts letters and you threes OWL results." Said Lupin.

"There you are Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Wendy." Said Lupin as he passed them out."

"I suppose that will be your book list Wendy," said Lillian.

Ginny ripped hers open and screamed. "Yes," she said

"What is it dear?" asked Mrs Weasley.

"I made Prefect!"

"Oh wonderful dear." Said Mrs Weasley as she engulfed her only daughter in a bone-crushing hug. Harry, Ron and Hermione didn't even realise this was happening. They just stood there, holding their letters as if it might attack at any minute.

"Did you here that Ron? Ginny's made prefect"

"That's great Ginny," he said still staring at his letter.

"Well are you three going to open your letters and tell us what you got?" asked Lupin.

"Together," said Harry. "1...2...3." They all opened their letters and smiled.

"So what did you get?" asked Lupin.

"Seven," said Harry

"Six," said Ron

"Ten," mumbled Hermione

"WHAT!" screamed Ron?

"That's brilliant Hermione," said Lupin.

"What's wrong Harry? That's great results." Said Lupin

"Yeah, but what surprises me is that I got an O in potions, probably because Snape wasn't there"

"That's good isn't it?" said Ginny

"Yeah but I have to spend two more years with Snape"

"Sorry about that mate." Said Ron "at least you haven't got Trelawny." He mumbled the last bit, but Harry still heard him.

"You still have Trelawny? I thought you said you messed that up?" said Harry

"Yeah I thought so too, what classes are you in Wendy?" he asked.

Wendy opened her letter. "Defence Against The Dark Arts, Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, History of Magic, Transfiguration, Herbology and Charms."

"Great you're in most of our classes." Said Harry smiling

"Dumbledore said he had to pick your classes for you, he has picked the classes that he thinks you will do best in." said Lupin

"Come on lets get going. We're already behind." Said Mrs Weasley.

"Professor Dumbledore must have found a new Defence teacher. I hope they aren't as bad as Umbridge." Said Harry

"I hope I'm not," said Lupin thoughtfully

"You're the new defence teacher," said Ginny smiling.

"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Harry.

"I only found out yesterday, now come on we have already wasted enough time." He replied.

They stepped in the fire one by one and emerged in Diagon Alley. Harry looked around him, it was the quietest he had ever seen Diagon Alley. There were very few people and they were all huddled together moving fast.

"Stay close everyone," whispered Lupin, "we have the Order standing by in case there is any trouble,"

"Is that possible?" asked Wendy nervously.

"Anything's possible in the wizarding world." Said Lupin.

"Ok we'll have to head to Gringotts so that Wendy and Hermione can get money changed first," said Lupin

"I have some money that your parents gave me for you here," said Lillian.

They walked down the deserted Alley towards a large building. Lillian took Hermione and Wendy to get money changed and the others went to make withdrawals.

When they had finished in the bank they went down to Ollivanders so that Wendy could get a wand. They entered the dusty and deserted shop and went up to the counter. Harry recalled his first time in here when he went through what felt like every wand in the shop he finally found one that suited him and it just happened to be the brother of the wand that Voldemort had.

"Ahh miss Browne, I see you have finally been let in on the secret of magic." Said Mr Ollivander. "Here try this wand this make is very popular in your family." As he handed her a wand, Harry felt that there wasn't something right. But he ignored it, maybe Tonks was right, maybe he was around Moody too long.

"Rosewood, 11 and a quarter inches, Unicorn Tail Hair, give it a wave."

As she did this doves shot out of the end of her wand and flew out the door.

"Wow" was all she could say.

"I think we will take this one." Said Lillian.

They exited the shop and headed down towards Flourish and Blotts bookstore. They passed the pet shop and Wendy saw a beautiful European eagle owl sitting on a perch outside.

"Awww isn't he beautiful," she said

"I knew you couldn't pass a pet shop without wanting something." Said Lillian smiling.

"Can I get him please?" She pleaded.

"Hurry up." Said Lillian. She ran into the pet shop and the shop assistant came out and got the owl and put it in a cage for her. She left the shop with her purchase feeling very happy.

"Wendy, over here." Harry called. He was in front of Quality Quidditch supplies.

"What's Quidditch?" asked Wendy.

"Only like the greatest game in the world." Said Ron.

Harry started explaining the basics to her all the way up to Flourish and Blotts. In the shop they went and got their appropriate books and left the shop with their moneybags lighter.

"I have a portkey here that Dumbledore gave us." Said Molly as she reached into her bag.

"Does anyone else feel weird?" asked Ron.

Harry knew exactly what was happening.

"Dementors." He whispered
