Chapter 2. Diagon Alley

Lily went into The Leaky Cauldron and looked around. 'What is this place?' she was thinking.

"Hello Miss, do you need some help?" a man with almost no teeth said.

"Um…Yes, I've come to buy my school things."

"Right this way Miss." The toothless man said. He led her to the back of the small pub and opened a door. He then pulled out a long piece of wood Lily was guessing it was his wand, and tapped the third brick on the wall. The bricks started to move and Diagon Alley appeared in front of them.

"There you go! My name's Tom by the way." Tom said.

"Thanks so much!" Lily said.

Lily stepped into Diagon Alley and looked around. She then saw a huge white building and walked towards it. As she got closer she saw that it said Gringotts Bank on the building. She went in the building and walked to one of the counters that were there. There was a weird looking creature at the counter.

"Um hello… Can I change some of this money into wizard money?" Lily asked.

"Very well, you're a muggle I suppose?" the bank worker said.

"Well, no one in my family is magical." Lily told him.

"I guess I'll have to teach you about the money. My name is Griphook welcome to Gringotts Bank."

"Thank you" Lily said, you could tell she was a bit nervous.

After learning about Galleons, Sickles and Knuts, Lily got her money exchanged and went to back into Diagon Alley. She went to a store called Flourish and Blotts.

Flourish and Blotts was the bookstore. She got all the books she needed and another book to learn a bit more about the wizarding world. She went to get all her supplies from the other stores then went to 'Ollivanders'.

Ollivanders was the wand shop. She went in and saw an old man sitting at the counter.

"Hello Miss, come to get your wand?" Mr. Ollivander asked.

"Yes" Lily told him.

"Come here then, I will get your measurements."

Lily went over to him and he took many measurements.

"Hmm…Let's see what will work for you." Mr. Ollivander said.

He went and got a few long boxes and put them on the counter.

"Try one of them Ms Evans." He said.

Lily obeyed and took the first wand. Nothing happened. She took the second wand and sparks flew out from the top of the wand.

"The wand will be 7 galleons." Mr. Olivander said. "Your wand is made of willow and its core is a unicorn tail hair."

Lily paid for the wand and went to explore the rest of Diagon Alley. She saw that a crowd had formed around the broom shop so she went to see what everyone was looking at. She then saw that there was a broomstick on display, it must've been a new model. She looked at the crowd and spotted a boy, he looked to be her age and he was teasing a boy with black hair that looked as though it had not been washed for a few months. She made her way over to them.

"Stop picking on him" She said, as bravely as she could.

"Why should I?" The boy said. "Snivellus was being rude."

"That's no reason to play tricks on him!" Lily almost shouted.

"Oh well, that's ok." The boy told her.

Lily huffed off and went back to the muggle world where her father was supposed to pick her up in 5 minutes.

Lily spotted her father's car and waved. The car then came towards her and she got in.

"How was your day honey?" Henry asked.

"It was wonderful!" Lily said.

When they arrived home Lily went to put all her school supplies in her room. As she passed by her sister's room she heard Petunia say,

"Great, the freak is back."

Lily ignored that comment and went down to the kitchen for supper. At supper her parents asked about her day and what the wizard world was like. She answered all their questions enthusiastically. Petunia however, ate her food and started to leave the table when her mother asked.

"Petunia, where are you going?"

"To my room. I don't want to be near that freak if I can help it" Petunia said.

"PETUNIA EVANS! DO NOT CALL YOUR SISTER A FREAK!"

"Well she is!"

With that Petunia stomped up the stairs, went to her room and slammed the door.

So how did you like it?
