Chapter 4

After a good night's sleep, James Potter was waking up his annoyed parents at seven in the morning. After bugging them for about fifteen minutes, they arose to an agreement, that Trish and Rob, James parents, could sleep another hour, and they would then get to Diagon Alley as soon as possible.

After an hour of waiting, and eating, in the kitchen, conversing with Trixie, James bolted to his parent's room and shook them awake.

"We're getting up James!" Rob growled as he slowly got out of bed, and with a flick of his wand, was dressed in clean robes, and his hair as neat as it was ever going to be, and walked James back to the kitchen, so that Trish could 'freshen up'.

After James parents ate a quick breakfast, James nagging them to hurry up the whole time, they entered the living room and opened the box where they kept Floo Powder.

"Remember James; keep your elbows tucked in." Trish reminded her son.

"I know, mum, I know," James complained and then shouted, "Diagon Alley!" in a clear, commanding voice. His parents followed suit after him.

James tumbled out another fireplace and went skidding across the floor. When he looked up, he found himself in the Leaky Cauldron, the pub next to Diagon Alley. When his parents arrived he was cleaning the soot of his glasses, then, together, the Potter family walked into a shabby looking square of land, with bricks surrounding it. Rob took out his wand and tapped three times on the bricks, and the started to squirm, until they formed an archway, leading to a windy jam-packed street, full of strange shops.

"We got some gold from Gringots yesterday, so we can just start shopping, what would you like to start with?"

"Wand," James said simply pointing at Ollivanders.

So the entered the tiny shop. A shabby, black-haired boy was getting his wand, and James felt his dad tense up beside him.

"The Black's," Rob whispered darkly, "I forgot that they had a son your age."

James, nodded, as a jet of red and gold sparks shot out of his wand, his mother started freaking out about how every member of their family's wands had shot out green and silver sparks and ended up in Slytherin, a house at Hogwarts.

"Mum!" the boy shouted, surprising every person in the shop, "I don't want to be in Slytherin! I am not interested in the Dark Arts, get it through you thick skull!"

"Why you ungrateful little-" she started but stopped, as she saw everyone staring at her, so she grabbed he son's arm, and paraded out of the shop, throwing a few Galleons over her shoulder.

"Then again," his father muttered," maybe that ones not that bad."

"I wondered when I'd see you Mister Potter," the man whispered, "It seems like yesterday that your mother and father were here buying t heir first wands. Rob Potter! Willow, 12 inches unicorn hair, wasn't it? Melissa, 11 3/4 inches, oak, dragon heartstring, yes?"

"Yes, Mr. Ollivander," Rob and Melissa chorused together.

"Okay, Mr. Potter, try this wand. Phoenix tail feather, 12 inches, Oak. Excellent for transfiguration. Give it a wave."

When James touched the wand, a warming sensation went through his whole body as he waved the wand around, (feeling quite silly) and everyone in the store clapped.

"Well done Mr. Potter that will be eight Galleons please." said Mr. Ollivander.

After they paid, they left the shop and decided to go into the robe shop a bit further down the street. When he entered, he spotted another boy who looked about his age, with sandy-blonde hair and blue eyes. He was extremely pale and looked very sick.

"Hi! I'm James Potter, what's your name?" James said cheerfully.

"I'm Remus Lupin. Are you going to Hogwarts too? I'm entering my first year." Remus said nervously.

"That's so cool! I'll be in my first year to!" James said as Madam Malkin put him on one of the stools.

The two boys started discussing the Hogwarts houses, they both wanted to be in Gryffindor, but Remus did not think that he was brave enough. After that, they discussed everything about Hogwarts that popped into their minds.

"You are both done now." Madam Malkin said.

"Okay, thank you," the boys said.

They paid for their new robes and promised to meet each other on the Hogwarts Express.

After that, James bought all his school supplies, and there was just one thing he needed to get. An owl.

Walking into Eelopps Owl Emporium, he saw a large variation of owls, finally choosing a beautiful snowy owl, and he called her Snowball. Then they headed back to the Leaky Cauldron and headed home.
