"I wonder what mum and dad want." said Sirius "I hope I'm not in trouble."
"I doubt it." said Sarah as Sirius opened the envelope.
"Look it's a key!" howled Sirius.
"That's not just any key" said Leon as he leaped across the table. "That's a Gringotts key!"
"Gringotts?" asked Sirius. "But I don't have any money."
"Do you think your parents would not give you something to spend at Diagon Alley?" said Mrs. Weasly.
"There is a letter also." said Sirius
Dear Sirius,
Me and your mum are so happy that you are going
to Hogwarts. We have deposited some money at Gringotts for
you to spend on school supplies. Please do not waste it all on
Weasly Wizard Wheezes! Also you need to get a right smart owl
like Hedwig. I want you to write to us when you get to Hogwarts.
Study hard and have a nice term. Hopefully we will see you at
Christmas.
Love,
Mum and Dad
"Wow!" said Sirius putting the letter in his pocket. "I can't wait, and I get my own owl too!"
"I think I will get an owl also, Sirius because my dad said that he had a toad at school
and it tried to get away any chance it got." said Leon.
"I think that I will get a cat." said Sarah looking at her Hogwarts letter. "My mum has
one and it is very smart."
"I wish we could play Quidditch in our first year." said Sirius staring out the window looking at the gnomes.
Over the next few days Diagon Alley and Hogwarts were all they talked about.
"What kind of wand do you want Sirius?" asked Leon while sitting down to the breakfast table.
"I don't know, I haven't really thought about it much." "What kinds are there?"
"Loads!" said Sarah "My father had a unicorn hair in his first year but broke it on his second."
"Well my dad" started Sirius "Had a phoenix tail feather in his; it was the same as Voldemort."
"Did you know that there is a new shop at Diagon Alley that sells wands?" asked Leon.
"No what's it called?" said Sirius now finishing his bacon.
"I think my dad called it Lionhearts."
"Lionhearts?" said Sarah, "Isn't that the wand store that replace Ollivanders?"
"Yeah I belive so."
"What subject are you looking forward to the most at Hogwars Sirius?" asked Sarah
"I want to learn about how to defend yourself against the dark arts!" said Sirius a little excited. "My dad
says that he got an Outstanding in D.A.D.A. exam."
"My dad is really into herbology but I think I want to study Potions the most." said Leon.
"If you ask me" said Sarah getting up from the table "I can't wait to study Transfiguration!"
"Yeah Sarah, but nobody asked you." said Leon.
"I was just giving you my opinion LEON so just back off!"
Sarah then marched out of the room and went outside and started reading
a book under a tree.
"I'm telling yah" said Leon "That girl is a little touchy." "I mean I was just joking."
"Well she will be over it soon,i hope." said Sirius looking out the window towards Sarah.
The next morning Mrs.Weasly woke the boys and Sarah up and rushed
them down to the living room.
"Well kids I would like you to meet a very good friend of Harrys." said Mrs.Weasly
looking very excited. "This is Dobby the house elf, he will be helping me around
the house since Arthur is always busy at work."
"Dobby is honored to help a dear friend of Harry Potter!" said Dobby as he started
to make breakfast. "After all Harry Potter freed Dobby from his terrible master!"
"I would like to thank you Dobby for leaving Hogwarts for a while to help me." said Mrs.Weasly.
"Yes since you are a friend of Harry Potter I will work for free." he said
"No I don't think so , I will pay you two galleons and hour." said Mrs.Weasly cheerful.
"So this is the house elf my dad was always talking about,Dobby!" interupted Sirius.
"Harry Potter talks about Dobby sir?"
"Oh yeah he is always saying how you helped him out in Hogwarts all the time." said Sirius.
"This makes Dobby so proud!" "Please sir tell Harry Potter that I said hello."
"I will Dobby"
And the three of them walked outside under the big oak tree.
"Hey I have an idea!" said Leon after about half an hour of doing nothing "Let's go to Weaslys' Wizard Wheezes joke shop down the road!"
"Yeah that sounds like a good idea to me." said Sarah
"I bet they will have some great sales since its the grand opening." said Leon getting up.
"What kinds of stuff do they have there Leon?" said Sirius
"Oh, loads of stuff like Skivving Snack Boxes, it makes you sick so you can get out
of class."
"Well what are we waiting for, we have nothing else to do?" said Sarah
The three of them headed down the road and through the little village
until they reached a wide cottage looking building that had giant neon lights that
read Weaslys's Wizard Wheezes. They walked in which was very hard to do
because of the massive crowd of people inside. When they reached the back
of the store they saw two middle aged wizards in magenta colored robes with
blue name tags that read Fred and George.
"Hey Sarah!" said Fred as he wrapped his arms around her. "we were hoping that
you lot would stop buy."
"Yeah we really wanted to see you Sirius." said George "It's been way too long."
"Anyway" interupted Fred "when ever you see you father again Sirius, tell
him that his order of our new invisibility robes and shield shirts are here"
"Will do"
What new good products do you have in this week George?" said Leon looking
at some old fake wands."
"Well we have some good invisible sugar quills so you can eat it during class
without teachers even seeing."
"Cool how much are they?" said Leon picking one up.
"These are seven sickles each." said Fred
"All you have to do if whenever you want to eat it is tap it with your wand and
say invisilum." said George.
"What on earth are these?" said Sirius looking at a large bottle of what appeared
to have thousands of small brown bugs.
"This is one of our favorite peices." said George picking up the bottle.
"Terminating Termites!" cut in Fred looking proud. "Let these babies loose and
it will eat everything in the classroom that will bound to give you at least a day
out of that class."
"I don't know if I want those." said Sirius.
"How about these?" said Fred pointing at a huge basket"
"Weaslys' Wonderful Wizarding Treats?" said Sarah reading the label.
"Yes this basket has every single Wizardig Treat know to, well wizards." said George.
"I'll take it!" said Sarah and Sirius at almost the same exact time.
"Great" said George holding out his hand, "That will be five galleons each."
"Well I guess will see you later." said Sarah as they we walking towards the door.
"Will see you at Christmas because were staying here for a little while." said Fred.
"Hope to see you again" said Sirius
"Goodbye!" said George.
The three of them headed home and when they got inside they were greeted with
a great three course dinner provided by Dobby.
After they finished their dinner they changed into their night gowns.
Sirius stayed up for what felt like hours wondering what his mum and dad were
doing and what Diagon Alley would be like.
Sirius finally went to sleep and started dreaming about the day ahead of him.
The day he finally went to Hogwarts.
