Hazels eyes slid away from the letter she had clutched in her hands. Who would of thought.. Hazel…A witch?

"Right dear" Her mother said as she entered the kitchen "I gave the reply to the Owl and I think its best we get you some stuff for school. Now pass the school list"

"Wow" Hazel muttered, "That's quiet a lot of stuff"
"Its okay" Mrs Trope smiled "We will manage, Your Auntie send 5 Galleons to go towards your stuff."
"Galleons?" Hazel said puzzled.
"Oh, Wizard money. Not to much different from muggle money I suppose." She took the list from in front of hazel and placed it in her pocket "Now dear, run along and get changed! Were going to get your school stuff"
Hazel nodded and ran upstairs. Only to bump into Carly. "Oh Morning!" Her sister just grinned and walked back into her room, she had never been the social type.
Hazel Searched through her drawers and found some suitable clothing ( some jeans and a jumper) and after putting then on ran back down stairs to see her mother.
"Carlys awake by the way" Hazel said grasped her coat and slid it on. "So are we going by car or bus or what?"
Mrs Trope giggled "No love, we are going to use the floo network today"
"Floo – whatty?" Hazel questioned
"Just a quick way of travelling that's all, now the only place we can get all your stuff from is diagon alley. Now come, gather round the fire" She said as she lifted a small plant pot filed with what looked like fine soil. "Now go stand in the fire place"
Hazel looked at her blank faced "You want me to stand in the fire?"
"Yes, just trust me"
Hazel stood in the mouth of the fire with a uneasy look about her face.
"Now" Mrs trope thrusted the pot in Hazels vision" Take a handful and when your ready throw it on the fire and say diagon alley. And be really clear when you say it, because you don't want to end up somewhere else."
Hazel nodded "Right. I think"
"When your ready" Mrs Trope said
Hazel stood there glaring at her Mother
"What are you waiting for?" Mrs Trope Questioned
"I've never done this before you know!"
"Well Hurry up! We do not have all day!"
Hazel threw the floo power downwards and said "Diagon Alley!" She felt her self spinning around and was getting dizzy; flashing lights everywhere and … THUMP she landed on the ground. Hazel blinked and looked about, she was in a small room with wooden floor boards and it was overall very dusty.
Within 10 seconds a familiar figure landed beside her. "Hello there, how was it?" Mrs Trope said
Hazel stood up and dusted her jeans "It was okay, where are we?"
Mrs Trope also stood up "Where in the Gringotts floo powder landing room"
The 11 year old glared at her " W.. Where?"
"Gringotts bank, they have a special place for floo powder travellers, its pretty new."
"Right, Do we need to get some money?"
Hazel mother advanced towards the door " I think I have enough on me to cover it all, so come on lets get a move on. And remember not to stare at the people here, some of them may be a bit weird."
"Everyone's weird here. PEOPLE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE MAGICAL POWERS"
"Hazel, shut up and get a move on"
She grabbed Hazel's hand and lead her out of the room and through many marble corridors until they ended up in a massive room filled with high tables with little goblins writing at them. They exited through the big doors at the end.
Hazel Yet again looked about taking everything in. She was at the top of some stairs looking down at a massive street filled with colourfully clothed people and many bright shops. Hazel's mother beckoned Hazel to follow her down the stairs. "Right now first I think we shall head off to Ollivanders and get you a wand." So hazel followed her mother through the bustling crowds until they go to a narrow and shabby small shop which a sign that said; "Ollivander's - Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC"
"In we go" Mrs trope pushed hazel though the door and in to the shop. The walls were lined with thousands of boxes and there was a small desk with a old man standing behind. "how can I help you" He Bared his crooked teeth into a smile. Mrs trope Raised her voice as she knew from previous occasions this man was slightly deaf " I need a wand for my daughter for she is starting Hogwarts next term."
"hmm" The man tilted his head and examined Hazel "Try this" He said fetching a box down from a low shelf. " Willow 12 ¼ single unicorn hair" Hazel grasped the wand and wiggled it about a bit. Ollivander watched closely until a tiny spark came out the end " that'll do just fine."
Hazels mother dug into her pocket and retrieved 7 gold coins. "How much?"
The old man ruffled his silver hair "lets call it 3 galleons"
She nodded and handed him 3 shiny gold coins "thanks" She passed the wand to Hazel who put it in her bag. Mrs trope winked at the man "Thanks, now come along hazel. We shall get you some robes" she grabbed hazels arm and lead her down the street a bit.
"Right here". They went into a shop entitled Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. A small witch wearing mauve robes greeted them. " Hello, Hogwarts robes? Well come on then." She said dragging Hazel through to the back to get her robes fitted.
"Penelope! Long time no see" Mrs trope turned round to see one of her old friends Mivnia.
"Oh!" Mrs trope said surprised "Yes I suppose, long time no see."
"How have you been keeping" Mivnia Questioned
"Just fine, fine" Mrs Trope said " And what about you?"
"Im great thanks" Mivnia drew her lips into a tight smile "So I see Hazel shall be starting hogwarts"
Mrs trope nodded vigorously.
"Well our Demelza shall be starting next term as well," she said sinisterly. At this point Hazel had returned back with a bundle of robes.
"Here, mother. I'll put these in my bag"
Mrs trope sighed, "Yes dear, Now How much would this all cost?"
The witch wearing the mauve robes returned and stood behind a counter "Lets see," She started to mumble to her self then said. "5 Galleons, 10 sickles and 9 knuts"
Hazels mother placed her hand in her pocket and got out a bundle of gold, silver and bronze coins. She then counted out the total and handed it over to the witch.
"Thank you"
Mrs trope looked at Mivnia "Nice to see you again." She then left the shop with Hazel; who was still confused about what was going on. "Hmm" She paused for a moment. "Florish and blotts I think now love"
