(Author's Note – The response for this story is brilliant. Thanks to Everyone for reading this. Oh, if you lot happen to find any mistakes in the story, please let me know. I have a habit of rushing things and not checking it over before I post it up. So, as before, I don't own Harry Potter, only the OCs that appear in the story. Enjoy!)
Last time
"Welcome Sophie, to Diagon Alley" He said with a smile.
I looked the multiple shops that looks like a dream comes true. They were people dress up in these fancy clothes, and there were old school friends meeting up to catch up on their school holidays. There was book shops, some broom shop? Eh, it doesn't matter to me, I never been to a place that has been this packed or interesting. I look at Little Bell and I can tell from her flurry face that she was lapping this up too. I look at the list of school supplies that I need and I see that it's all very expensive.
"Um Thomas, how can I afford this? I don't have any money." I asked him.
"Well, we can find your money in Gringotts, the wizardry bank. Aren't no safer place, well, of course, expect for Hogwarts." Thomas answered.
Well, if I had money, I wouldn't had much anyway. We entered the this bank and it was just a massive, dark place, looks like the Orphanage I stay at, oh the bad memories. Also, there were short people but they didn't look like. They had pointy ears and big noses and they don't look very friendly.
"Um, W-what are those?" I ask.
"Goblins, clever little creatures, but will stabbed you in the back. Never trust them." He said coldly. We approach the big desk and saw a little goblin, heh, what a show off.
"Excuse me, Miss Lestrange wishes to make a withdrawal." Nitro tells the globin.
The goblin looks down at me and said. "Ah, Miss Sophie, a spitting image of your mother. I assume the she has her key?"
"Oh hang on, got it here somewhere." Nitro said. He looks down in his bag and grabs a gold key and hands it to the globin.
"Alright, if you will follow me." He said. We follow to find a old cart and a track that sort of resembles a amusement ride. We sot down inside down and we took off. I didn't know how long we were on the ride but by the end of it I was feeling dizzy, and sick. "Vault 235" The goblin shouted out. We got off and I wasn't feeling good, and I wanted to vomit.
"Are you okay, Sophie?" Thomas asked me
"I'm fine" I squeaked out
"Key, please" The goblin asked. Nitro handed him the key and the goblin put it inside the rather large door. All the weird combinations were locks and the door opened and I couldn't help but stare. There was bronze, silver, and gold coins. By the looks of it, there was thousands of them.
"Now, you think your parents would leave you with nothing, now did ya?" Thomas said. I said nothing, right now, I'm still reeling in the fact, I had so much money.
(#Break)
After making a withdrawal and leaving the bank, I had a look at the list, I needed the school uniform. Thomas took me to Madam Mikin's robe shop.
"Go get your robes sorted out, and gets your books from flourish and Botts Bookshop. I'll got a few things I have to do." He said. I nodded to him we went out our separate ways. I stepped inside the shop and see a old lady appeared out of nowhere.
"Okay, stand over there little one, I'll fix you up in a minute." She said. I walk over to the stand and she started to measure me, saying all these weird things that I didn't understand. Eventually, she handed me my school uniform, which is a grey jumper, a white button up shirt, a black tie, a grey skirt, grey socks and shoes. "That will be six gallons please" she said. I gave her the money and left the shop.
I entered the bookstore and seen what easily could be a library that has been jammed in. There had a range from novels to autobiography, even fairy-tale books. The sight was so much but I had to grab my school books and get out of here. I looked for the first thing that appeared on the list. I found the first bookshelf, and guess what, I found Transfiguration book but I wasn't looking where I was going and I bump into someone and knock them to the ground. I looked down to see a young girl, bushy-haired, brown eyes and some buck front teeth.
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there" I said.
"Oh, that's okay" But the girl started to trail off. She look like she was astounded by me. I felt uncomfortable and she realizes it.
"Oh, I'm sorry I should introduce myself, I'm Hermione Granger." She said.
"Hello Hermione, nice to meet you, I'm Sophie Andrews, I mean Lestrange." I corrected myself. Straight away, I felt eyes right on me. I looked around to try and find the source and I found it. A black and blonde woman, wearing a green long dress. She looked shocked to hear my name. Did she know me or something, cause I never seen here before. I was shake out of my thoughts by Thomas appearing right into front of me.
"Hello Sophie, have you got your books?" He said.
"Uh, yes. Yes I do." I responded.
"Now come on, we need to get your wand. Hello Hermione." He said
"Hello. Well It's nice to meet you, Sophie. Hope to see you at Hogwarts." Hermione said.
"Yeah, me too." I said. I paid for the books and exited the shops.
(Now, going to Third person view.)
Narcissa Malfoy, the youngest black, and married to Lucius Malfoy, was down at Diagon Alley with her son, Draco, who is getting ready for his first year of Hogwarts. She made a stop at Flourish & Botts Bookshop to grab Draco's books when she heard a voice that sounder so familiar. "My name is Sophie Andrews, I mean Lestrange." The girl said. Narcissa quickly turned around and what she saw, shocked her to the core. She saw an spitting image of her eldest sister. She had found, Bellatrix's beautiful daughter, her niece.
"Oh my god." She said as Sophie lay eyes on her. The young, black hair girl was trying to work out who she was. She was interrupted by Nitro entering the conversation and taking the young girl and boy bid farewell to the bushy-haired girl and left. Then something flew into the back of her mind.
Pure & Mud females meet
They become one
Together, they will fight the dark
Never to die, never to fall
Always together, until they reach heaven's gates
Oh god, please not her, She thought.
(And now back to Sophie's view)
I left the shop with a confused mind. Who was that lady, and why did she knew who I was? I snapped out of my thoughts by realizing I still need a wand. We stop in front of a shop called Garrick Ollivander's wand shop. We enter and I was startled by a old man, sliding across the ladder.
"I was wondering when I will be seeing you, Miss Lestrange" He said with a croaky voice. "It seems only yesterday, that your mother and father were in here, buying their first wands. Ah. Bendy, old feather, eight and a half inches." He handed the wand over to me. I gave it a flick and I broke some glass.
"Nope, definitely not." He said. "Ah, how about this one." I gave a flick and some of the wand boxes flew right off and were aimed right at Thomas, lucky he ducked out of the way.
"No, and definitely not that one. Ah, straight, Dragon-heartstring, eleven and a quarter inches." He said. I grab the wand and I felt a warmth shoot straight threw my body. It felt like the wand had found me and I felt a strong connection.
"Ah, there we go. That will be seven Gallons, please" Olivander said. I paid the man and we left the shop.
"Okay, that's everything now" I said happily.
"That's great to hear, now let's head back to the cauldron." He said. By the time we got back, it was night. After a spot of dinner? Thomas took me upstairs to my room.
Okay, I booked a room for the night, here's the key. Now, tomorrow the train leaves at 11:00 O'clock, so around 10:00, I'll be coming to take you to take to the station. Now, have a good night and I'll see you tomorrow. Okay, good night." He said.
"Bye" I said and I walk into my room. It was a small bed and even though it didn't have much light, there was a window and it had a brilliant view of London. I looked outside and saw a beautiful moonlight. Oh my god, magic is real and tomorrow I be going to Hogwarts. Only problem though, my parents won't be there and I cried softly. I've spend nearly eleven years without any parents to guide me. At that point, Little Bell saw me crying and quickly jumped on my lap and snuggled up to me. I smiled at that as I watch the traffic down below, every now and then, some drivers have a go at one another. I looked up at the clock and it read out 10:30. I decide to go to bed. I slipped under the covers, with Little Bell jumping up and sat next to me. Eventually, an half a hour later, I finally fall asleep.
(Author's Note – that's sad. Poor Sophie is going to Hogwarts but she still doesn't have a family. Will this have a effect on the story, I guess we will have to wait and see. Next time, Sophie boards the train to Hogwarts and meets the Boy-who-Lived. Like and review if you have any questions. Until next time, Kizzard245 out!)
