Chapter 4
Letter from WHERE?!?!
Lily reached her home and was already missing Ash. She was home for the summer until School started (AN: IM still talking muggle school she hasn't got her letter…YET) 'Its already July thirty-first and I never called Ash after camp!' thought Lily as she thought back to those days at camp and she had honestly admitted to her mum and dab that she did have an OK time at camp only because of Ash though. "MUM can I call Ash" yelled Lily from her room. "OK just don't take to long" Yelled Jenica as a reply. The next second you would have sworn that it was a heard of elephants storming down the stairs as Lily raced into the kitchen for the phone and pressed three. Lily had put Ash on speed dial as soon as she had got home from the bus. Lily dialed three and Ash's number was automatically dialed 'Just like magic' she thought as the phone rang. "Hello" said the voice of a 26 year old woman. "Ummmmmmmmmmm is Ash there" asked Lily. "One moment I'll get her." Said the voice Lily hear the lady yell "ASH PHONE." Lily waited as Ash thundered down the stairs and thanked her mother. "Hello" said Ash. "Guess who" said Lily "LILY" squealed Ash "I haven't talked to you in like a week what's going on?" "I missed you so I decided to call" Lily replied. They talked for about half an hour before…
AN: That's all there is there is no more!!! Lol jk that would be soooooo evil!!!
An owl swooped in through the window and dropped a letter at Lily/Ash's feet "Ash I just had an owl fly inside and drop a very thick letter at my feet" said Lily shakily. "Me to" said Ash. "Call me back after you open it ok" said Lily. "Ok bye bye" said Ash.
After hanging up the phone Lily turned her letter over in her hand and saw a very odd crest holding the envelope shut. Lily's hand shook as she opened her letter. Inside it saidDear Ms. Evans,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That was all Lily read before screaming and fainting.
Ash opened her letter as soon as she hung up the phone with lily. Dear Ms. Paiton,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ash re-read the letter a few times before screaming "MOM GET DOWN HERE YOU'LL NEVER BELIVE WHAT I JUST GOT" screamed Ash. Her mom ran down the stairs and read her letter "wow" was all she could say. "I've got to call Lily back" said Ash as she dialed the phone with an incredible speed. "Lily picked up the phone and sounded shaky "Ash I'm a witch" stammered Lily. "Me to" said Ash excitedly. "Well maybe we should go to Diagon Alley together on Friday so we can get everything" said Ash. "Ok meet me in London center" said Lily "OK" Said Ash.
Friday came around and Ash and Lily could be found hugging in London center at about 9:30. "Well there's the Leakey Cauldron so let's go in there" said Lily. "Ok" said Ash. They entered the Leakey Cauldron and walked up to the bar and the old bar tender. "Ummmmmmmmmmm excuse me but how do we get into Diagon Alley" asked Ash. The old man turned to face them and said "I'll show you if you follow me." They followed him into the back where the girls saw a small door he walked through it. He tapped some bricks with his wand and said "There you are Ladies have fun shopping." The girls walked through the door and were stunned at what they saw. "Well we need money and according to my letter it says to go to Girngots and exchange our money" said Lily. "There it is" said Ash as she pointed to a large white marble building. Lily and Ash walked over to the building and walked through the doors. "What are those" Ash asked Lily quietly as they walked over to the booth that said "EXCHANGE." "No clue" said Lily then she turned to the thing and gave it her money it gave her a dirty look and handed her some large gold coins. Ash did the same thing and they left the bank muttering about the "things." "Well we need a standard size two pewter cauldron, the whole book list, a pet, a wand and what ever else interests us" said Ash. "Let's go get our wands" Said Lily "Ok"agreed Ash as they headed off towards Olivanders wand shop.
The girls entered the wand shop to find an old man with pure blue eyes who said "Lets start with you Lily what hand do you write with" "My right" Lily said as a magical tape measure appeared and began measuring some very odd places. After Mr. Olivander walked away and came back with three small boxes here try this one 9 inch cherry with a dragon heart string. Lily took it and waved it, a vase exploded. "nope that wont do at all" said Mr. Olivander. Mr. Olivander walked over to the rows of wands that were in the back of the store and picked up a scarlet box "I wonder" he murmured as he returned to Lily and Ash "Try this one 11 inch phoenix feather imbedded in redwood." Lily took the wand out of the old mans had and gave it wave as red and gold sparks flew out of the end. "That's good very good" said Mr. Olivander and then he repeated the process with Ash who got a 12 inch willow and with a unicorn tail hair. The girls paid 15 galleons each and continued on their way they shopped for robes, books, and everything else on their lists. Lily and Ash's final purchases were owls Lily's was a whit owl with green eyes named Emerald and Ash's owl was black with blue eyes and was named Midnight. The girls left the ally and met their parents in the heart of London. "Se you on September 1st" said Lily. "Ok lets sit together on the train" said Ash. The girls hugged and both left with their parents.
NOW FOR JAMES AND SIRIUS
James and Sirius were both at James house for the remainder of the summer and both boys were anxiously awaiting their Hogwarts Letters. "Let's go to Diagon Alley as soon as we get our letters" said James in an excited tone. "Ok" said Sirius. "BOYS the OWLS ARE HERE" screamed Mrs. Potter. The boys ran down the stairs as fast as they could and opened their letters. Dear MR. Potter/Black,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That was all the boys needed they quickly found their supplies lists and made a mad dash for the fire place. But Mrs. Potter stepped in front of them and said "where do you two think you're going" with a smile on her face. "We're going to Diagon Alley" exclaimed James with a pleased look on his face. "Do you boys really think I would let you go alone" Mrs. Potter asked clearly amused at the idea of James and Sirius causing hell in Diagon Alley and getting the entire content of their lists. "Ummmmmmmmmmm yes" Sirius said casually and obviously hoping that it would work. "Well think again but not to hard you both shouldn't go to Hogwarts with anymore brain damage" chuckled Mrs. Potter "Just let me get my coat and we'll be off." The boys scowled and tapped their feet impatiently and pretended to be unexcited but they were both bursting with excitement. "Let's go boys" said Mrs. Potter as she walked into the main hall ready to go. "ME FIRST" both boys screamed running towards the fireplace. "Boys only one at a time and lets have James go first so I can keep an eye on you Sirius" said Mrs. Potter "Hey" objected Sirius "James is JUST as bad as I am if not worse." Mrs. Potter ignored Sirius's protests and turned to a grinning James "James you know that you are to Floo DIRECTLY to the Leakey Cauldron and Tom will be waiting for you and Sirius" said Mrs. Potter firmly. "Yup I got it Mum" replied James as he threw a handful of powder in to the fire and waited for it to turn green before stepping inside and yelling "The Leakey Cauldron" he vanished. "Now Sirius the same rules that applied to James Apply to YOU" said Mrs. Potter "Ok" replied Sirius as he followed James's Lead and disappeared. "God I should have had Harold stay he can at least control those two Beasts" sighed Mrs. Potter as she apperated in to the little Pub where a very disgruntled James Sirius and a annoyed and slightly singed Tom stood waiting for her this was going to be a living hell. "I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU THREW A DUNGBOMB AT TOM HE WAS NOT TO BE HARMED!!!" screamed Mrs. Potter as James and Sirius cowered in the corner of the Leakey Cauldron clearly horrified of Mrs. Potter's wrath. "We're sorry" mumbled the boys, "Don't tell ME that apologies to TOM" roared Mrs. Potter now beginning to turn Red in the face. The boys got up and mumbled a quiet "sorry" to Tom then were led out f the pub by a fuming Mrs. Potter. "Well I was going to send you off to get your wand while I go to Gringotts but until I talk to Mr. Olivander I won't be able to do that" said Mrs. Potter icily. The boys followed the fuming Mrs. Potter silently as she briskly walked to the wand shop. "Hello Mrs. Potter" said Mr. Olivander "How may I help you?" "Would it be Ok to leave the boys here to get their wands while I get some money for them?" asked Mrs. Potter. "That would be fine I'll start taking Sirius's measurements" he replied and whipped out a tape measurer that magically measured everywhere before returning to Mr. Olivander's hand. "Mr. Black you are left handed am I correct" asked Mr. Olivander. "Yup" said Sirius clearly not seeing his point. "I'll be right back" he said as he hurried off to the back of the store he grabbed five boxes the first four were TOTAL disasters Sirius broke a flower pot singed two cats and almost set Mr. Olivander's eyebrows on fire. "Well this is the last of my left handed wands Mr. Black" said Mr. Olivander as he removed it from its case and handed it to Sirius "Twelve inch Dragon Heartstring in birch wood, PLEASE aim at the Pillows this time" said Mr. Olivander. Sirius gave it a wave and there were no explosions and no singed anything all the wand did was produce a long stream of Gold and Red sparks that formed a cloud. "Very good Mr. Black that wand is great of DADA (Defense Against the Dark Arts)" said Mr. Olivander then he turned to James who had already been measured and was waiting in the fertile position clearly afraid of Sirius's wand. "James your right handed" said Mr. Olivander as he retreated to the back of the shop. "Yes" called James after him as he threw a look at Sirius who was busy kissing his wand "what in bloody hell are you doing" James asked a little scared by his mate's behavior. "I can finally curse Regulus and make it look like an accident well at least until September and then I'll be watched" said Sirius almost too happily. James was about to reply when Mr. Olivander came back and shoved a long wand in his hands James waved it and a window broke it repaired it's self immediately. It took James almost ten times until Mr. Olivander came back and said "Try this one it's 13 inch phoenix feather imbedded in mahogany." James waved his wand and pointed it at a pillow and the pillow turned into a rabbit for a minute before turning into a pillow once again. "Terrific" exclaimed Mr. Olivander "look here comes your Mum let make our way to the counter shall we?" The boys spent 24 galleons together and then moved on to finish their shopping. Their last stop of the day was Quality Quiditch Supplies. James's Mum purchased James a top of the line Lightning Bolt. Sirius bought one also and they flooed back to the Potter Manor where Mrs. Black was waiting "come along Sirius you have to pack for Hogwarts" she said Sirius gathered his belongings and his new brown eagle owl "Gingersnap" and stepped back into the fire place after thanking Mrs. Potter and James for having him. He disappeared in a large green fire spin. "Go to bed James I'll charm your stuff to follow you until you get to your room" said Mrs. Potter and with a flick of her wand James stuff was following him up the large marble staircase and to his room. He sat up for a while that night dreaming about Hogwarts and some of the pranks he and Sirius were going to pull, before going to bed he turned to his snowy owl and said "goodnight coconut" and with that he fell into a deep slumber.
