Chapter 2:

That afternoon, the owl showed up welcoming Ava to Hogwarts and informing her of the schoolbooks she would need. Although she begged her mother to take her to Diagon Alley right that moment to get the books, Hermione insisted they wait till that coming Saturday so they could go with Ginny's girls to get their supplies as well. Of all Ava's many many cousins, she liked Ginny and Harry's daughters, Selena and Gwenyth,the best though they were a couple years older than her. For many generations the Weasley family had only produced male children. However, with Molly Weasley's birth to Ginny, a floodgate had apparently been broken. Since then, the Weasleys had produced plenty of girls, 14 in all, with only 4 boys. The children had essentially been raised together in one massive, mischievous redheaded bunch. Ava, Selena, and Gwen, though, were especially good friends due to the closeness of their parents. Ava was so excited to finally join her favorite cousins at Hogwarts in Gryffindor House. They, however, were more than a little hesitant for their spoiled younger cousin to be at school with them. Though they were best friends on summer vacation and the Christmas holidays, both girls had friends at school who might be less than excited for Ava to join them.

As the three girls walked through Diagon Alley arm in arm with their mothers following at a respectable distance, Ava questioned Selena and Gwen for the umpteenth time about Hogwarts.They answered her back, obviously exasperated as they hurried from shop to shop gathering their schoolbooks and supplies. Selena and Gwen stopped in front of Madame Maulkin's robe shop where they were going to pick up new school robes. Ava looked disappointed. She had convinced her mother to get her her very first pair of school robes days ago so she really didn't need to follow her cousins inside. Little did she know that she had much more exciting things to buy than plain old school robes.

"Ginny, dear, Ava and I are going to head over to Ollivander's. We'll catch up with you later alright," Hermione said to her sister-in-law. Ginny nodded her agreement and followed her daughters inside the robe shop.

"Mum, what's Ollivander's?" Ava inquired as she followed her mother down the street.

"The wand shop, dear," Hermione answered with a smile, knowing exactly how her daughter would respond.

"Ohhhhh! Oh my very own wand! Oh I can't wait!" Ava squealed. Hermione looked down affectionately at her daughter. At times like these, she could hardly believe it was the same stubborn, haughty little girl she was so used to.

Once inside Ollivander's Ava's already wide eyes became wider. The tinkle of the bells on the door brought a tiny, old man to the front of the shop. His eyes sparkled at the sight of another pint-sized Weasley. He had provided them all with their wands and was extremely proud of the fact. He went straight to work measuring and pondering and selecting boxes for Ava. Being doted on in such a way brought out the less pleasant side of the little girl. Her little pointy nose rose in such an aristocraticmanner that Hermione actually blushed. She had no idea how her daughter had picked up these little ways of hers, so uncharacteristic of the Weasley family. She couldn't imagine how Ava had become so incredibly proud of her heritage coming from a Muggle family and a Muggle-loving family, but Hermione imagined it had something to do with all the stories Ron, Harry, Fred, and George were constantly telling her about their "glory days" at Hogwarts.

A/N: Hey guys, sorry this is so short. I need a short little chapter before Ava went off to Hogwarts. I'll update again soon, stay tuned! Oh! And please review!
