Chapter 2: The Leaky Caldron and Diagon Alley

It's been two weeks since Laura and her family along with her best friend, Drake, moved to London. Karen rented a room at the wizard pub "The Leaky Caldron" for the children while she went to Hogwarts to prepare to the next school year.

Laura kept her eyes to the window watching muggles pass the building on the London's streets while Drake started to read some of his school books. The two boys were playing on a muggle game boys and decided to tune up the volume on them. Laura looked at her brothers with a sigh. "Why did mom let you bring those things?" Laura said to her brothers.

"Because-" One of the boys said

"Mom let you-" Other one said

"Bring Toby" The first boy finished.

"Okay, can you two stop that?" Laura yelled

"Stop what?" Both of them said together. Laura stood up growl at them, and then Drake looked up and saw her brown eyes' change into eyes' of a cat. "Laura, Billy, and Robby, stop it!" Drake said to all them. Laura cooled down a bit and started towards the door.

"I'm going to Diagon Alley for a bit." She said and walked out the door. The brothers laughed lightly, "Oh, She going to get in trouble with mom." The first boy said. Drake looked at the boy, "Billy, just behave." Drake told the boy.

"So, Drake, when are you going to tell her?" The second boy asked put down his game boy.

"What are you talking about, Robby?" Drake said as his face turned red. The two boys looked at each other, "What are we talking, Robby?"

The two boys sat next to Drake, "You know, about your mission and that fact you're not in the same house as her like at Salem." Robby said. Drake looked at both them and stared at them. "How did you two know about that?"

"Well, we over heard mom talking to you before we left America." Billy said. Drake sigh lightly, Oh great, at least Laura doesn't know anything about this.

Laura looked around the shops and sighed lightly, she enjoyed walking around Diagon Alley when her brother annoyed her. Being in the same room as her brothers drove her nuts, at least at home her could go to her hiding spot and play Toby while she was singing her favorite song but she couldn't here.

She visited the Quidditch shop, and then she saw shop she never saw before when she came to Diagon alley when they first came to London. "Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes? I never heard of this place before." Laura said to herself as she entered the shop.

"WELCOME!" The Weasley brothers said to Laura, and almost made her jump out of her shoes. "What can we help you with today?" one of the brothers said. Laura didn't answer. "I'm Fred" The one brother said holding out his hand and the other brother did the same thing, "and I'm George"

"We are the owners" Fred said

"And creators of many of these great products." George said following his brother.

Laura shook both of their hands, "I'm Laura, pleased to meet you." She said calmly and thought Great more twins. George jump of behind the desk, "we have many great items, from fake wands, to these chocolate frogs with a spell to make anyone think they're a frog for least two hours." He said.

Laura had then grew an evil yet mischief like smile on her face, pay back time, she though again. "Okay, I have two annoying little twin brothers who I want to get back at, so, what you got." Laura said as Fred and George looked at her and smiles. "Well, well, we got a new student, George." Fred said.

"We set up you for a low fee." George said as they showed her the best products to get back at them.

Laura returned to the room at the Leaky Caldron with a bag in hand. Drake was still reading his school books and her brothers were still playing their video game. "Hey Billy, Robby, I got something for you." Laura said sweetly.

Drake looked up at Laura and knew she had something up her sleeves. Billy and Robby drop their game and Laura got out two pieces of candy for her brothers. Both of them took the two pieces of candy and ate them without thinking. Drake looked at Laura as she sat down beside him. "Okay, I know you and you don't give your brothers candy unless it's their birthday, what was that candy?" He whispered to her

"Oh, you'll see." Laura replied back as she pick up at one of her school books and started to read. Two minutes later both Billy and Robby started to have nose bleeds, "What the-" Billy quickly said when a drop of blood landed on his game boy and grab a tissue along with Robby. "What was that candy?" Robby said looked at Laura when she started laughing.

"Blood Blisterpods, I got them today when I was looking around Diagon Alley today and I have the cure." She said then Drake start chuckle and little bit too because he knew where she got them at. "Give it to us" Both said in protest but Laura shook her head.

"Nope, I'll just it to you IF you promise to behave, if not, I got more and I can give them to you again if you don't behave." She said and quickly both of the boys shook they heads. "We do anything, and we listen to you." Both said together again.

Laura hand them the cure and just like that the nose bleeds stop on both to the boys. "Okay, now if you two can behave and stay quiet till we go to Hogwarts, I will not give you anymore, got it." Both boys nodded their heads and when back to play they video game as Laura went back to her window and watch the muggles walking on the street by the building again.

Drake came up next to her and sat down beside her, "You don't have anymore, do you?" he whispered to her. Laura smiles lightly at him, "Nope, I just got two so I could lay down the law."

Another two weeks went by before Karen return to see how the kids were. "It's been dull." Billy said. Laura nodded her head, "There's nothing to do here, every time I wanted to get Toby out, I can't find a place here to play in private."

Drake didn't say much, he's been reading his books and Laura did the same thing when she got bored which was everyday. Karen shook her head and smiled, "How about we go to Diagon alley, and I'll get you all a pet or two."

All four of them smile and got around quickly and put on their robes. When everyone was right, Karen lead to Diagon Alley to a shop called Magical Menagerie. A witch greeted them as they all looked at all of the cages. "Can I help you?" She said to Karen as she walked up to her.

"I'm looking to get two pets for my children one for my daughter and one for my sons." Karen said. Both Robby and Billy can up quickly to the witch, "We want a rat." They both said. The witch smiles lightly and places a cage on the counter, "and what about you, dear?" the witch ask Laura, She didn't know what she wanted then she saw a black and white kitten and reminded her of the cat she had before she left for her first year at Salem.

"How about this one," Laura said as she pointed at the kitten and the witch magically unlock the cage and Laura gently picked up the kitten. Drake looked at the witch, "Excuse me, but do you have any barn owls?" He asked and the witch when in the back.

Two minutes later she came out of with a barn owl, "This is my last one, dear." She said to Drake and he nodded his head, "I'll take him, but please I'm paying for my owl."

Karen took all of them out for ice cream and then took them back up to their room. "Well I have to go, I hope you guys had fun today, and Robert, William, I don't want to hear that you let Tank out of his cage to taunt Laura. " Karen said as she apparate out of the room. Laura when back to reading but this time she had a small kitten she called Lia to keep her company, and Drake had his new owl, Polaris, ready to go in his cage and feeding him the owl food he got on Diagon Alley.

Laura looked out the window knowing in a few short weeks, she would be heading to Hogwarts for her new adventure with her friend and brothers.

End notes: Ok I know what you guys are going to say, beside the part I added Fred and George selling Laura Blood Blisterpods so she could get order from her brothers, this chapter was as boring as the first chapter. I promise the next Chapter will have some good laughs in it, and maybe you'll find out one of her favorite songs. Who knows, Stay tune.
