THE WISH OF A MILLION:

A/N: Sorry it took so long, I lost the binder I kept the story in! 50 pages gone! But, I found it so all is well!

Chapter 3: Finally, the Plot!

Lana opened her eyes, tempted to bite her finger, just to see if she wasn't dreaming, or on some sedative, after all. A small fortune, just like Harry, Lana thought, No, not a small fortune, a GIGANTIC fortune. Lana went into the chamber, trying to take in the mountains of gold coins, hills of silver, and the mounds of copper. "Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts" Lana whispered. And a letter. A letter in thick parchment. With green ink. Stating "To Miss LaCigam, formerly of the Muggle world. I must have died to have all this, Lana thought. Surprisingly, this didn't sadden Lana. IF this was what it seemed to be, this was the greatest moment in her whole life. She reached out with a trembling hand and opened the letter,

Hogwarts School of Advanced Studies

She folded the letter and realized that she was fully immersed in this world now, but first she'd get her supplies.

Harlequin handed her a drawstring bag with the Gringotts emblem on it. "Complimentary purse?" He asked, she nodded her thanks and filled her bag with galleons, sickles and knuts, not even denting the mounds of currency. She re-slung her backpack and felt the comforting weight in her pocket of the money bag.

Lana went through Madam Malkin's store bought Casual, Dress, School, and just plain good-looking robes, and was lugging the humongous cloth bag when she realized she would nave to find a place to store her stuff and sleep. The Leaky Cauldron! She could check-in, borrow an owl, confirm her going go to Hogwarts and wait the two weeks till school started. She rushed towards the alley in which she first appeared at, knowing that the pub would be near.

Lana threw herself on the bed, savoring the moment. She had bought her books from Flourish and Blotts, and picked up a few Astronomy books, knowing that she'd want to take it the following year. She'd gotten the potion supplies sixth years would need, and spent the afternoon studying the potions, hoping to impress Snape even though she had five years of work to catch up on. All she had left was her wand. After she got it, she'd spend the rest of her first week going over the school books she bought, years one-five were filling her closet. She got up, feeling a tingle of excitement as she slipped into some forest green robes, and headed out the door.
