After breakfast, they did a last minute check to see if they had everything. "Got everything?" Asked Remus.

"Yeah" was everyone's reply. "How are we getting there?" Asked Harry.

"Floo Powder" replied Remus.

"I thought it wasn't safe to travel by Floo anymore." Said Harry.

"Well since the ministry is now accepting the fact that the Voldemort is back they've increased security on the network," said Sirius. "But it's still only safe to travel to public areas."

"What's Floo Powder?" Regan asked.

Then Harry quickly explained it to her, "then take a pinch and shout Diagon Ally."

Regan took a little and threw it in the fire "Diagon Ally" she shouted then stepped hesitantly into the fire with Liam in her arms. A few minutes later she found herself tumbling out of a fireplace covered in soot. Harry, Remus, and Sirius came soon after coughing and muttering. Liam started crying because of the confusion but Regan soon had him quieted down. The bartender looked up for a second and returned to his bar. Sirius led the way to a small area behind the pub and tapped the brick wall with his wand. Regan was in awe of the place; it was amazing. There were all sorts of curios shops and people wearing the same strange robes as she saw the staff of Hogwarts in.

"Here we are" said Harry as they stopped in front of a large white building.

"We'll stay here with Liam," said Sirius. "The cart ride may be to much for him." Regan looked at him quizzically, then handed Liam over to him and followed Harry into the bank."

"Harry what are these things?" Regan asked looking at the goblins.

"They're goblins," replied Harry.

"Oookaaay" said Regan still trying to process that goblins were real.

Harry walked to a free goblin and said, "Harry and Regan Potter to take money out of our vaults."

"Do you both have your keys?" Harry pulled out his key and handed it to the goblin, Regan not sure what to do followed Harry's example. Then a new goblin led them through a door and through a passageway to a cart. The ride in the cart was exhilarating and Regan enjoyed every minute of it, while Harry looked a little green. They stopped at Regan's vault first and she was surprised at how much was there. The mounds of gold, silver, and bronze. "All of this is mine?" She asked.

"Yes" said Harry. "I have my own vault." He noticed that Regan had a slightly larger amount but he chalked it up to the fact that he had been taking money out of his vault for the last five years. Regan quickly filled the moneybag that was waiting there with the gold, sliver, and bronze. They went back to the cart and Harry started explaining the money. "The gold ones are Galleons, the silver are Sickles, and the bronze are Knuts." Harry explained, "There are twenty-nine Knuts to a Sickle, and seventeen Sickles to a Galleon."

"Alrighty then." She said still not quite sure. They then stopped at Harry's vault and again Regan was amazed at how much was there.

Sirius took the time that he had away from Regan to spoil his new nephew. "Ok next stop Florean Fortescue's," he said with a mischievous grin.

"Do you think that's such a good idea?" asked Remus.

"Why not?" Sirius asked. "Liam do you want ice cream?"

"Pwease" the little boy answered.

"Finally we hear the boy talk" said Sirius.

"I just hope your willing to face the consequences of giving Liam ice cream this early." Started Remus; "Regan seems to be the type of mother that wouldn't appreciate you spoil her son like this." Sirius just shrugged and went on his way.

Half an hour later Harry and Regan found them; Regan was looking a little pissed off. "What is he doing eating ice cream? It's been less than two hours since breakfast." She asked Sirius. Then turned to Remus "How could you let him?"

"In my defense I warned him," said Remus sheepishly.

"And I just wanted a crack at spoiling him." Said Sirius with a smile.

"You know," she said to Sirius "your name doesn't fit, you not serious at all."

"Thanks" he replied.

"So what now?" Regan asked as she was picking up Liam.

"Well you need to get you wand and both you and I need to get out school supplies." Harry said.

"Well lead the way." Regan answered and Harry led the group to Ollivander's

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AS they stopped in the shop an old man appeared and spoke with a soft voice "Ah Miss Potter I was wondering when I would see you, now let's see." The man started to pull boxes off the shelves. Here try this one, eleven and a quarter inches oak with a dragon heartstring." He handed her the wand, she gave it a wave and nothing happened. " Mr. Ollivander snatched it away and started looking through different boxes. Several wands later Mr. Ollivander said "I think I found the right one, twelve inches rosewood with unicorn hair; nice and flexible." Regan gave it a wave and sparks flew. "Ah the right one" he shouted with delight. "Curios."

"What's curios" asked Regan.

This wand is very special, it contains two unicorn hairs, The first one was from a mother showing her gratitude when her foal was saved the second is from the foal. Now I don't use hairs from foals because they can be tricky to work with but this foal was very insistent that he give a hair. That will be eight Galleons please."

Regan paid the man and they left. "Well that was a little strange," she said as the walked into Madame Malkin's. Both Harry and she were fitted for their school robes. Madame Malkin cooed over Liam and Regan bought a few robes for him as well as dress robes for her self since they were on her school list. Then they headed to the bookstore where after getting their schoolbooks Harry and Sirius went over to the joke and prank section while Regan, Remus, and Liam went over to the mythology section.

"Regan?" Asked Remus.

"What?"

"Why is Liam so quiet?" He asked. "He hardly talks."

"Its because he doesn't know you yet." She replied. "Before moving here he was a chatterbox but with new people he doesn't talk much. Just give him a few days and then you'll wish he wouldn't stop. Thank you by the way.

"For what?"

"For staying with me, those nightmare are horrible."

"Do you want to talk about them?"

"Not right now."

"Ready to go?" Asked Sirius as he and Harry came towards them.

"Yeah" said Regan. As they paid for their purchases Regan also got a book on potions finding it to be interesting and a book on mythical beasts. They made the rest of trip without incident as they picked up the rest of Harry and Regan's school things. Then they went back into the pub and went back to Hogwarts.
