Chapter 5: Shopping and An Encounter (Rachel's POV)

We left Grimmwauld Place after we had eaten. We took the underground to a cheap store and bought some clothes for us Animorphs. I, of course, was a bit disappointed because there were no designer clothes, but I made do.

Next we headed to a place called The Leaky Cauldron. Harry told us that it was the entrance to Diagon Alley, where we could buy our school supplies.

First, we Animorphs demorphed and remorphed in the bathroom. Then Mrs. Weasly took us into Diagon Alley.

"First we need to go to Gringgotts," Mrs. Weasly told us. "Harry, dear, will you please lend the new students some money to buy their supplies?"

"Yeah," Harry replied.

Once we exited Gringgotts, we split up. I went with Tobias, Harry, Hermione, and Jake, to buy our robes. The others went with Mrs. Weasly to buy other equipment; they would buy all of our other supplies.

"Welcome!" The shop witch said. "Follow me."

We each were told to stand on a stool to be fitted. Once we had done that, we left to meet the others at the wand shop, they'd get their robes later.

"Everything go alright?" Mrs. Weasly asked us.

"Yeah, it went okay," I replied.

We entered the shop. "Welcome to Ollivanders." An old man welcomed us in, "Now who shall be going first?"

"I am," I replied, stepping forward.

He went to the shelves and pulled off about seven or eight small, long boxes. He handed me one, "Eleven inches, holly, unicorn tail hair."

I waved it, a loud bang erupted, and the window broke. "Reparo!" The man said, pointing his wand at the window. It flew back, and repaired itself.

He took the wand and gave me another. "Twelve inches, maple, dragon heartstring."

This time when I waved it, sparks flew out of the end. "That's your wand. Next."

Jake stepped forward. His wand was ten inches, elm, unicorn hair.

Tobias' was eleven inches, willow, phoenix feather.

Ax's was twelve inches, maple, dragon heartstring.

Cassie's was ten inches, cherry tree, unicorn hair.

Marco's was thirteen inches, willow, phoenix feather.

After Harry had paid for our wands, we left the shop. We waited for the others to return with their robes. Harry bought us each ice creams.

I looked around. Plenty of people were staring at Harry; which he seemed to ignore. I spotted a newspaper on a nearby table and darted out and grabbed it before sitting down.

The Daily Prophet didn't seem very interesting, it just reported some odd disappearances and some suspicious deaths.

I put the paper down and found myself looking at a sleek blonde haired boy. I looked around and noticed that Harry and Hermione were giving him looks of deepest loathing. I stood up. I only came to his shoulder; kinda intimidating but I'd been intimidated by better people then him.

"What do YOU want?" I asked snappily.

"Shut up Mudblood!" he replied.

"What did you call me?" I shrieked at him.

Jake grabbed my arm and shook his head. I shot the boy a look of pure loathing, before Jake yanked me away.

"C'mon Rachel, you can't pick a fight every ten minutes," he muttered wearily.

I grumbled at him.

After demorphing and remorphing in a cramped bathroom stall; we left Diagon Alley and went back to Grimmwauld Place.

Mrs. Weasly made us pack up as we'd be leaving tomorrow morning; and she wanted us prepared.

I was exhausted and I demorphed before heading back up too my room with Hermione and Ginny after a filling dinner.

Well, I'm terribly sorry about the length, but I had writer's block on this particuler chapter, I couldn't decide on what should happen; because I hadn't read the book the time I started this.
I've also started school so expect some regular updates and delays in the actual publish time. I might finish it but published a week or a month (if I'm that unlucky)later. Sorry about the delay.
