Chapter 2 diagon alley
The next day I walked into a really rundown orphanage, the paint was peeling and almost everything was stained, even some of the kids looked stained. I walked up to the front desk.
"hey, I'm here to see Katie Joe." I said.
"No, Katie is being punished for getting her clothes dirty yesterday." The lady said glaring at me.
"But I have to deliver a letter." I said pulling.
"Then give it here." She said reaching for the letter but I pull it away.
"I am sorry but I can only delver this to her, no one else." I say and her nostrils flare.
"Then she will not receive the letter." I sigh and pulled out my wand.
"Imperio" I say pointing my wand at her a flash of light latter she was under my control.
"You will take me to Katie Joe now." I told her and she got up and lead me through the halls of the building.
Katie's pov
I was sitting in my room I was grounded because my clothes got dirty from Jack and his gang was beating me up. I pulled the silver coin Dierion gave me. It was beautiful, on one side was a dragon flying in front of the moon, on the other was a child with a shadowy figure standing behind him.
I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." I called. The door opened to reveal Miss Argent and… Dierion? I sat up surprised.
"Hey," Dierion said. "what's up." He turned towards Miss Argent and waved his wand. "Leave us." She turned a left.
"How did you do that and Why are you here?" I asked.
"first magic, second to give you this." He pulled out a letter and handed it to me.
It had a symbol a coat of arms with a lion, snake, badger, eagle. I opened the letter.

"So, you coming?" He asked. I Nodded furiously, I felt my heart swell. "Then let's go."
He turned to leave.
"Wait, but I need tell-" I started to say but Dierion cut me off.
"I have taken care of it, so come on." He held his hand out to me.
I nodded and took his hand excited. When I grabbed it I felt like my body was shoved though an extremely tight space then next thing I know I'm standing in front of a build with a sign that said.
THE LEAKY CAULDRON.
It was a tiny, grubby-looking pub. We walked inside it was very dark and shabby. A few old women were sitting in a corner, drinking tiny glasses of sherry. One of them was smoking a long pipe. A little man and a tall one in a top hat was talking to the old bartender, who was quite bald and looked like a toothless walnut. The low buzz of chatter stopped when they walked in.
The tall man saw Dierion and his face flushed with rage.
"YOU!" he Yelled. Dierion sighed and turned to him.
"Hey, Duke." He said.
"YOU STOLE MY MONEY!" Duke yelled.
"We were supposed to split the money, but you tried to kill me. So, I think I deserve ALL the money. But I am a nice person. So, if you apologize I will give you your cut."
"No, you give me all of it!" The man said pulling out his wand and fired a flash of red light.
