Life: chapter 3

The next morning Alexander woke up extra early and just sat up in bed, thinking about everything that just happened to him and about the family he's going to get. He knew he find them and soon, because when he saw them he'll, his heart will tell him they are the right choice. Alexander wanted to get out of this bed, he been in it too long, so he stood up and walked over to a mirror to look at myself. He looked into his eyes and saw something in himself, he saw love there, and he knew somewhere out there loved him. Then there came a small knock that broke Alex's concentrations, and in came a small creature, wearing what looked like a tea cozy "Um sir Master Dumbledore asked me to wake you up and see if you needed anything" said the small creature. Alexander thought for a second and then said politely "may I ask who you are" the small creature then said "I'm Elfelda the house elf, but everyone calls me Felda for short." Alexander looked at Felda, and then said "it's nice to meet you Felda, and I like to take up on Dumbledore's offer, I could do with a hot bath, some food, and clean clothes. Felda thought for a second and then said "I know the perfect place for you to take wash up at, the Prefect shower's follow me" Alexander followed Felda out of the Infirmary and into the great staircase, and all he could say was wow an wondered where Felda went. Then with a pop Felda was right next to him, and said "its one floor up, down the hall go to the picture of Victor Waddlebird under a waterfall with a beautiful mermaid and say the password "Zola Themba", and watch out for the steps they like to move and the third step on the second landing is a vanishing step, I'll send you clean clothes, and when your done, go back to the infirmary for breakfast" then again with a loud pop Felda was gone leaving him alone on the landing. He walked over to steps and walked up one landing and than got to the second landing and saw that the steps too go up was not there, and then was somehow was there. He remembered what Felda said and just to make sure he took off his sock and put it on the third step, and it vanished, and he jumped over to the next step and then proceeded into the door that lead into fourth floor. He walked into the hallway and remembered she said go to the portrait of Victor Waddlebird, but didn't understand why because when he got to the portrait there was no door. He looked at the picture and noticed the man was moving, and then noticed all the portraits where moving, he walked back towards the picture of Victor Waddlebird and asked it if this was the Prefects bathroom. The man in the picture looked up and then replied and said "yes, and the password is" Alex looked highly surprised when he heard it talked, but guessed that portraits probably moved and talked a lot and then said the password "Zola Themba" and the portrait moved aside and led into a nice room, it was the bathroom. To tell the truth it didn't look like a bathroom to one side was dozens of golden shower heads and to the other was a gigantic bathtub that looked like a swimming pool and it did have a diving board. Alexander grabbed a towel off a rack and walked over to a bench and sat down and then he looked down at his clothes and for the first time he noticed his clothes must have been ten sizes too big on him. He took another look at the clothes he was wearing and started to undress when he felt it, there was something in his pocket, and pulled it out and realized it was a letter. He didn't know what to do, should he open it, should he not open, could this help him, give him a clue of who he is, but he was nervous maybe he should ask Dumbledore or Jason they might know what to do, but then he saw the neat handwriting and it said To my dearest son, From your mother. Open it on your own. That's when he knew he had to open it, his mother, so it meant he had a mother before this. He read the letter to himself and then walked over to the shower head and it turned on and then the hot water hit his body and he started to think about what the letter said.

Dear Son

Son I know things must be very hard and confusing at this moment, but I hope things will get better. Because I've given you a wonderful chances and opportunity that I know you'd have liked if you remembered who you are. I want to tell you I won't tell you your real name because it will only confuse you more. Believe me when I say I don't regret giving you up, and you shouldn't either, I love you, and I'll always love you. You need to live this new life; you deserve this, because you of all people need a break, a break from life. I don't understand all of what's happening to you or even if it's going to work. You're now living the life you always wanted, this is what you dream about, hope for so enjoy it. I don't know when or where I set you or what will happen to you, but don't stop living just because you're afraid to forget, because soon everything will be all right.

From your mom

P.S included in this letter is a birth certificate and 2100 dollars, which you'll have to change into wizards gold.

The letter made Alexander really think about his choices, should he live the new life or not. It's his real mothers last wished for him to live this life and become a wizard, so he won't let anything get in his way of becoming a wizard. He grabbed a towel and dried himself off and walked over to where I left my old clothes, to find a pile of clean clothes. He got dressed in a royal blue satin shirt and a pair of khaki shorts with blue trim and white sneakers. After he got dressed he made his way down to the infirmary and ate breakfast, where Jason was waiting for him with a large plate of toast, some porridge, kippers, bacon and scrambled eggs with hot tea. "Good morning Alex ready for a scrumptious breakfast, and then I'm to take you to Dumbledore's office because he wants to see you" said Jason. Alex ate a little bit of everything and when he was done, followed Jason up to Dumbledore's office, behind the gargoyle passageway and said the password "Snow Cones" and both of them went up the stairs and into the room. "Good morning Alex, Jason did you have a good shower, and eat enough" said Dumbledore "yes the shower was wonderful and the food here is great, but there's something I want to tell you" said Alex. Alex then explains to them about the letter, the birth certificate and the money and was now 100 sure everything was going to be all right. Dumbledore looked a little surprised, but the shock quickly was gone and then he said "well now I think a visit to Diagon Alley is in order and yes I'll still pay for your school supplies, that money your mom gave you will be for your yearly spending." However before they went they decided to fill out the birth certificate, Name-Alexander Gabriel, Birth date-December 31st, 1959, Father's Name-unknown, Mother's Name-unknown and so on and so on.

After filling out Alexander's birth certificate Dumbledore asked Jason to take him to Diagon Alley to get everything he'll need for Hogwarts and other things he'll need. "And like I said use the Vault you have now for your school things and then switch your money over" said Dumbledore. Then Jason said "ready to go, will be taking Floo Powder to get there, step into the fireplace, take some powder and speak where you want to go and drop the powder I'll go first." Alex watched Jason use the Floo and did exactly like he did, and the next thing he knew he was standing in a packed Bar, and walked over to Jason. Alex and Jason walked into Diagon Alley together and Jason watched how Alex acted to everything, "Where do I get my money" said Alex, "at Gringrotts Bank" answered Jason. They walked down a little farther until they found themselves outside a huge marble white building which had a sign in gold saying Gringrott's Bank. "Jason what is that thing, pointing at the short creature" said Alex "they are goblins, very clever but sneaky, be careful." They walked into Gringrott's up to a goblin and asked to visit the Hogwarts fund vault, and switch this money. The goblin first counted the money out they gave them and told them the full outcome in Galleons he would be getting "total 2100 dollars switches into 200 galleons 50 sickles" said the goblin. "Jason is there any non-magical clothes stores in here, because I think I'll need those too" said Alex "well no, but your right" said Jason "well I like to not switch a hundred dollars, and keep it as it is" said Alex "then you'll have 200 galleons" said the goblin. After everything was settled with money, they went down to the Hogwarts Vault and took out enough money to buy what he needed. They walk out of Gringrotts and starts his shopping, first going into Madam Malkins to get his uniform, then he got his cauldron and the basic potions ingredients, then got his books and a few others, then went and got a telescope, and gloves, and then got his owl, a brown and white tawny which he named Errol. Then he had one more stop and that was to pick out a wand, so he walked into Olivander's however there was someone else in there when he stepped in a boy with messy black hair and hazel eyes wearing glasses was leaving the shop. Ah Jason Abner 11 inches Dragon heartstring and oak, and who is this fine gentlemen. "This is Alex he will be coming to Hogwarts this year" said Jason "wand hand" asked Olivander. "Left hand" said Alex, and then Olivander gave him a wand to try, but didn't work, Alex tried 26 wands and none off them worked. Then it happened, with the next wand he could feel it a warm gentle tingle. "Ah curios very curios, 18inches cherry, with a blue sapphire and a phoenix feather and a hair of something, I don't know what really, 10 galleons." Alex gave him the money, and he followed Jason out of the shop. They walked back towards The Leaky caldron and sat down to eat a little lunch when Alex saw them. It was a man and a woman with red hair and the woman were holding a baby, and where walking towards the fireplace and the woman got in and used the floo powder and could here that she said "the burrow"

Who is the family with the red hair, and the Train ride to come
