Chapter 8
Diagon Alley
"Uncle sev, I got my Hogwarts letter!" I said excitedly while running towards him. He just smile and told me to calm down. I smile sheepishly. He told me we will go to Diagon Alley after having breakfast. I nodded.
"Eat slowly or you might choke." He scolded me when he saw how I ate. I grinned and apologized for it. I managed to calm myself and finished my breakfast without problems.
"We will go by Floo Network. You will go with me so that I know that you will end up at the right place." He said looking at me.
"Ok, uncle sev!" I answered. I went stand with him. He put his hand on my left shoulder to make sure I will not separated with him.
"Diagon Alley!" He stated while throwing the floo powder.
"Uhuk! Ough!" I spat the floo powder that managed to get in my mouth. He took out his wand and cleaned me. I nodded to show my gratitude.
"Which shops first, uncle sev?" I asked, looking at the shops. He told me that we will get my wand first. I saw 'Ollivander's wand' sign in front of the shop. Snape and me walk into that shop. Wow! It's looked like in the movie. My wide eyes looked around the shop. I jumped when I heard 'Hello'. I saw Ollivander who looks like an ancient wizard or should I said homeless because his appearance.
"Hello!" I greeted him. He looked at me for a few seconds. Dude. It's creepy. I didn't realise that I had taken a few steps back until my back collide with Snape. He touched my shoulder and squeeze it. I looked up and saw him just nodded to show that there is nothing to fear.
"I think it is best to proceed, Mr Ollivander." He said to Ollivander with blank face.
"Yes, yes. Why not? Who are you young man?" He asked while the tape is measuring me. I told him my name and his eyes widen before returning to normal.
I tried all the wand that been given to me. So far there are not matched.
"Interesting. Very interesting. Wait here." He left and came back a few minutes later with a box. He told me to tried it. When I grabbed that wand, it produces a beautiful spark and sound. Is that pheonix sound?
"Marvelous! This wand is your match. Ice pheonix's feather, basilisk venom, Unicorn hairs and also a thestral tail hairs. What a unique combination. It also the most complex wand to create." He stated while looking at me with shines eyes. Professor Snape paid the wand and we walk out from the shop. But, I feel that Ollivander's eyes still following me. What a creepy guy.
After that, we went to Madam Malkin's Robes, Apothecary and Stationary Store. He told me to go buy books because he had to go somewhere for a while. I just nodded and went to Obscurus Books. When I am trying to decided whether I want to buy books that are not on the school lists, I saw Harry Potter. I am lucky because he received his Hogwarts letters quite late. Oh My God! He looked so thin and shorter than me. Suddenly, an idea come in my mind. I 'accidently' collide with him. He fall.
"Oh, I am sorry. Are you ok?" I asked, helping him up.
"It's fine. No harm done." Harry Potter answered softly, accepting my help. I introduced myself and from that I learn his name. We talked about School, Wizarding politics and Houses before went separated way. Well, mostly I am the one who doing the talk because he do not know about Wizarding World before this. I told him to do Inheritance Test at Wizard Bank so he will know about his money and get heir ring. Seriously? I can say he is really ignorant about it. I sighed.
"Are you done buying the books?" I startled. I turn around and saw my uncle Snape with an eagle. Wow! He told me it is a Happy Birthday's gift. I grinned and thanks him.
"I am done." I answered. He told me it is time to go home. I wanted to say something about Harry Potter but I am not sure if it is ok. He may do not want to hear about it considered what Harry's father had done to him in the past. He touched my shoulder and apparated us.
Notes: Thank you for reading my story. I will try to update it later but I may not be able to write it as much as I can because soon I will start my class.
