Dear Harry,

This life is very weird isn't it? Giles told me about this community that is in secret. The only reason he knows about it, is that his brother was one. I mean I didn't even know he had a brother.

Giles told me he is what is called a muggle as is Dawn, well he said in theory as in Dawn so I guess there is a chance that she could be not a muggle. Does this make sense? He said that there is a different kind of magic which is used through wands. Willow, I didn't tell because well maybe I did tell you no I didn't did I ? Willow is a Wicca witch which means she uses her magic from the ground whereas this other magic uses wands.

God if you were really reading this you would be freaking out. So there are these Witches and there are Wizards and whole community of them. Giles' brother was our tour guide. He took us, including Dawn to this Alley called diagon Alley.

But before that we had to go through this bar (I suppose you would call it a pub, see I haven't totally forgotten your teachings) called "the leaky Cauldron", stupid name right. I mean seriously what a stupid pun. Anyway then we went around the back and he touched the bricks with his flimsy looking wand, wouldn't make a good stake you know. Dawn was all like wicked cool and I just stared mildly interested. I have seen enough of the mystical; I just don't give a damn anymore.

We went through the streets looking at all the stuff; it was even to me pretty cool. I mean they seriously fly on broomsticks here and play this weird game; I have no idea how to spell it, quiditch? Weird! Anyway there was also a pet shop, so hard to get Dawn out of that one. She was all over this kitten with massive green eyes, it was kind of cute.

Then we went and saw this wand shop. Didn't much like it, set my slayer senses on the crazy. I sometimes well most of the time I can sense the evil. It is like this tickling feeling on the back of my neck, lets me know when I am in for some trouble. This store well lets imagine someone raking their nails down the sides of your neck and then you will have some idea of what it felt like. Anyway, Ollivander that is the dude in the stores came out and stood there staring at me and Dawn. He then was like "So the Summers Girls have come at last, have you come for your wands?" Me and Dawn were all like huh with our mouths open.

I think Giles was like dumbfounded as well because he just stood there gaping at the guy. I was the first to recover and I thought you would have been proud because I just said "Um yeah, we are. What have you got for us". Dawn was so funny staring at me with this look akin to awe. So cute for a nearly 11 year old. Anyway so while Giles and his brother walked outside to talk quietly about this new development, Ollivander went about measuring us with this creepy tape. He then was all like "I actually was expecting you, quite awhile ago, did you not receive the letter?" I looked at him strangely and just said "What letter". He then went on to explain that we should have got a letter to go to some place called Hogwarts.

I guess because we were living here at the time or something but then I never turned up. And that is when it struck me. We received a letter for me to go to a boarding school when we living next to you. Of course my parents weren't going to let me, I mean me living in a boarding I don't think so. Not too sure what happened after that. He did tell us that Dawn will probably get a letter.

Anyway back to the whole wand searching. He did Dawn first, didn't take long either. All wands have a magical core, right, so Dawn's magical core, well it was kind of funny because her magical core was well a slayers hair. Ollivander was all like in awe at her. Dawn just looked at me smugly before turning to him and asking how in the world he got a hair of a slayer. Ollivander blushed and said "Someone sent it to him." Dawn then asked what colour it was and he replied with "blonde". Dawn just laughed, and stood there looking at me pointingly before I finally said "Whatever, hurry up."

He then went all rushing around giving me all these wands to wave. It took freaking forever. In the end he gave a wand very carefully like it was precious. When I gave it wave, it was like this warm feeling rushed through, like a part of me was back. He gave me this warm smug smile and said "Your wand has the hair of the boy who lived." I just stared at him like oookkk cause that made a lot of sense. I didn't bother asking him what the hell that was supposed to mean, I just grabbed Dawn and told the creepy guy that our guardian would be in to pay in a second and I dragged her out of there.

Hair of the boy who lived, and me being the girl who died strange that one.

Giles didn't take long in paying and coming out. He looked at me curiously and I highly suspect that he knows what is in our wand cores. Anyway after that we went back to the bar where we got rooms to stay the rest of the week. Apparently where we are going after that is some sort of surprise,. Guess Giles just likes pissing a slayer off course those surprises never really go well for me. Anyway so now we have a week left to explore this place. Giles said we need to buy robes and stuff to fit in and Dawn is trying to badger him to buy her a pet. I have on doubt that she will resort to the Summers pout and get her way.

But I guess that will wait for another letter.

Author note: Just so you know there will be stuff that isn't just letter stuff in Chapter 11, actually from Chapter 11 it will most likely be switching back and forth, but since I haven't written past chapter 12, I don't actually know yet. I hope you guys liked this whole intro to England magic life thing. And since I can never say it enough, thanks for the reviews guys, you all rock.
