Chapter 2: Leene

A/N: Thanks Muchos ThePaperclip for reviewing!

Disclaimer: Me own nothing of the Harry Potter sort - WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

The Potions Master stared at me, and then said, "So, you wanna be a witch?" It was the third day of his staying and he was obviously very bored. He had a book of complex potions out from his previously unnoticed trunk. "Or maybe a cat?" he asked, flipping the page.

"No, no wait – go back to the witch part." I said, feeling a sudden twinge of mischievousness.

Snape's lip curled in equal mischievousness, "But, Anna, the potion needs at least two drinkers, possibly three to work best." I nodded, I knew just who to invite into my little plan.

Although Kaitylan was as true to the Hermione standpoint of riskyness as one could be, I was sure she would not pass up the chance to truly enter the Wizarding World. My other friend that I was inviting was Leene. She was as gung-ho for adventures as I was – so I couldn't really see any difficulty in convincing her. I was sad, however, that I could not invite my friend Chelsena, she had many animals to take care of on her farm and I was sure that she would not be allowed to come. It was odd that after expressing this concern to Snape and he had replied that four would work I could not get a hold of Chelsena. I tried calling, emailing, and snail mailing – all to no avail.

The date for the three of us to meet was Tuesday. We would all be gathering in my home so I had to run around and tidy up. Snape, meanwhile, was preparing the potion. He had informed me that we would all need a way to afford our supplies. We had come up with the idea of a bake sale in the Magical Community. And as soon as Snape found out where that was (we were in America) we had all begun baking things at our houses. Tuesday soon arrived.

The doorbell rang – it was Leene. She still did not know of the entire plan, but she knew a good deal of it. "Well Anna, I'm here…. So – you sounded so giddy on the phone one would think you've got Snape tied up in one of your closets!" she then spotted Snape stirring the potion in the kitchen and said, "Or he's in your kitchen – that works too." It was then that I told her the entire plan. "Well that's fricken awesome." She said just as the doorbell rang again. It was Kaitylan.

"So what's this about? And what is Snape making in your kitchen?" she said, as I led her through my living room and to the kitchen where the others were. Snape was now feverously stirring a pot of highly peppermint fumage.

"You and me and Leene are all going to become witches by way of that potion over there." I said matter o' factly.

"Are you sure that's such a good idea? I mean, what if something goes wrong and we get chicken feathers or something?"

"Hermione….. I mean Kaitylan - no worries – it was brewed by a Potions Master. The best potions master." I grinned at Snape, who took no notice.

Kaitylan shrugged – it had seemed that I was right. "It's ready." Snape called, satisfied.

We stood in a circle and drank while Snape looked on curiously. A smile crept onto his face when Kaitylan stated blandly, " I don't feel any different."

"That," Snape hissed, " is a good thing. If you had felt any different the potion would've had an error in it, causing you to die." The two girls glared at me, but before I could say anything Snape continued with, "Anna did not know this – only I did. If I had not been confident of this potion I would not have given it to you. And besides – I know it worked – I can sense your magical energy."

"So when do we get out wands?" Leene asked, looking at her drained cup in amazement. We were all becoming slowly aware that we could sense each others power, faintly.

"After the bake sale." replied Snape, " You all brought something, did you not?" They nodded and he went on with, "Good. Then I suggest we get going, I have a table reserved for us at the market."

And with that Snape bid us to clutch tightly to him, as we were going to apparate by way of him. We gathered our things, held onto him and were off. We hurtled through time and space, which was a rather black mess of nothingness, and found our selves at the entrance to an ally. The sign above the entrance read, "Lettervale Ally". As we followed Snape through the ally we saw shops and such of the like that we had never come in contact with before, "Mishingbott's Wand Shop", "Kinderfeld Potions Apothecary", "Midnight Whispers, Books and Parchment", as well as "A Wizard's Best Friend" and "Robes, Robes We Won't Measure Your Nose."

As we walked along things seemed to be getting more and more crowded, and I sensed that we were approaching the market area. As it was our table wasn't even close to the outskirts. So we pushed and pushed through the crowd until we came to a rather same, rickety table.

"This is it?" Kaitylan snorted, incredulously.

"Yes, it is. Now I suggest you unpack – unless you dunderheads think you can perform magic without a wand first off?" Snape replied curtly, the crowd was trying his patience greatly.

And with much grumbling we unpacked. I and Kaitylan unpacked rather quickly, but Snape and Leene took far much more time. Leene enjoyed cooking, I knew, but there seemed to be a cuisine from every place on the planet in her bag. Snape, who had nicely accepted to help out as well, was the same as Leene. There was not much action on mine or Kaitylan's piles until a few hours in. Leene's and Snape's things were flying off the rickety table at speeds that made me worry that the table might fall to splinters. It took a great while for all the things to disappear from our table. When finally every last cream puff, rice dish, and egg role assorted were gone we had accumulated enough Galleons to role in happily. We of course didn't. It was now time for us to go shopping.

A/N Dun, dun, dun! What will happen now as the brave characters go shopping?

More to come soon, but first a little message…… Review, PLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEE!
