Chapter 2: Meeting Hagrid

For the next few days, Erica kept getting acceptance letters from Hogwarts. Aunt Lucy didn't tell Uncle Aaron about it. One stormy day, someone pounded on the door. Uncle Aaron opened it, and gasped. A man (or thing) stepped in. He was 8 feet tall, had a shaggy beard, and long, tangly hair.

"Hullo, Erica." the thing said.

"Um, hullo. Er...Who are you?" Erica replied.

"I'm Rubeus Hagrid, Gamekeeper and Keeper of the Keys at Hogwarts. I trust you know all about Hogwarts." he said.

"I only know that my parents went there." Erica told him.

"Well, yeh're comin' aren't yeh?" Hagrid asked.

"I want to." Erica answered him.

"But you're not going to!" said Aunt Lucy.

"That is her decision, not yours, Lucy." Hagrid said. Well, that shut her up!

"So are yeh comin' or not?" Hagrid asked. Erica ran downstairs and got on a jacket. She grabbed her backpack. She stuffed clothes, her hair brush, her toothbrush, and her toothpaste in there. She put on her socks and shoes and ran back upstairs.

"I'm ready." she said to Hagrid.

They walked down the streets of London.

"Hagrid, where am I going to get all of this stuff?" Erica asked Hagrid.

"You'll see." he answered, smiling.

They kept walking, and Hagrid led her to a place in an alley. There was a sign. It said The Leaky Cauldron. Hagrid walked in with Erica right behind him. They walked straight to the back of the building. Hagrid tapped some bricks on the wall and an archway started forming. Once it completely formed, there were people rushing to buy things on a busy street.

"Erica, welcome to Diagon Alley." Hagrid said. Erica was amazed. She couldn't believe it. There was such a thing as magic! They stepped onto the cobblestone and walked to Ollivander's Wand Shop. They got her wand. It was Holly Wood, Unicorn Hair, 13 inches. They stopped at Flourish & Blotts and got all her books. They got her an owl, a cauldron, everything she needed. Once they got done, they went back to the Leaky Cauldron and had supper. Erica read as she ate. When she got to her room, she tried all the spells that she studied and was perfect at them (Oh look, it's Harry and Hermione mixed all in one girl. Hah.)
