Okay, so I won't post the winner of the art contest until I get enough fan art or whatever for it, so keep trying! So far I've only gotten one! But then again, art takes a long time, haha! Especially when there's no real picture for you guys to go off of! Hehe, and now we're on to Diagon Alley! I actually have something planned for this which is why I'm making it so America and everyone else doesn't learn about Hogwarts until after Harry goes to Hogwarts. Don't you think it'll be hilarious? Oh wait, you don't know what I'm planning… NEVER MIND!
(RANDOM LITTLE SIDE NOTE BECAUSE SOMEONE (not me) FEELS LIKE COMPLAINING TO YOU PEOPLEZ: Falling on your side HURTS! Dude, I fell during my play rehearsal yesterday and now I have a bruise on my hip and a floor burn on my elbow!)
Anyways, enjoy, R&R, favorite, follow, and submit your Harry Williams-Beilschmidt art!
Chapter 2
Harry's POV
I was following papa and vater as we made our way to Diagon Alley, or the wall in which we go to Diagon Alley. I was excited, believe me, but then I would be separated from papa and vater! Maybe they can convince the headmaster to let them come with me? They can teach History of Magic and Muggle Studies! Yeah, I can ask the headmaster! Oh wait… Papa told me that the headmaster wants to control me…
"Harry, we're here," I heard papa say to me quietly. I looked up at him and smiled brightly.
"Okay, where do we go first?" I asked excitedly.
"We're going to Gringotts!" Vater announced. "We're going to see those totally awesome yet weird goblin dudes!" I laughed.
"Okay vater!" I said as I followed them to Gringotts. I'd gone there once when cousin Peter (Sealand) was going to Hogwarts for his first year. Oh! I think he's a second year now! Yay, I get to see cousin Peter!
"Vault 5 please," Papa told the goblin, who looked at him suspiciously. Of course, goblins know about us nations and we have the first vaults, but we need our keys to convince them. If not, they do an inheritance test or cast the nation revealing spell. I can't seem to recall it…
"Key?" The goblin asked. Papa took out a golden key and handed it to the goblin.
"This way Mr. Williams," he said, leading him to the rollercoaster type thing. I don't really know what it is. I felt sick by the time we got off of it though…
I was amazed when we entered the vault. There were so many galleons, sickles, and knuts! Well, we are nations, so I guess we have to be rich, even in the wizarding world.
"Hey Papa, did any of the other provinces or towns go to Hogwarts?" I asked Papa while he and vater gathered all the money.
"No, you're the first one," Papa replied before thanking the goblin.
We went to the pet place next. I had Kuro next to me in order for him to help me pick out an animal. I didn't want an animal that would be afraid of my precious snake. A bunch of wizards and witches looked at me like the expected me to be a dark wizard or something. Jeez, and this is all about a snake? Biased, I tell you. Biased.
"What do you think Kuro?" I asked Kuro in Parseltongue. "Do any of thesssse ssseem like good enough petsss to you?" Kuro looked around and thoroughly intimidated all the animals around us.
"No masssster," Kuro replied. "They are all sssssso afraid of me." I made my way deeper into the shop and finally, I found more intimidating and brave creatures. They were mostly birds, but there were some others like cats and… panthers? Okay…
"How about here?" I hissed. "Any animal you like here? They don't ssssseem afraid of you like the otherssss. And don't call me masssster." Kuro looked around once more and spotted a pretty hawk that was looking straight at us.
"That one isssss acceptable," Kuro hissed. "She issss looking ssssstraight at ussss." I walked over to the hawk and held out a hand to it.
"I wouldn't touch that one if I were you," the shopkeeper warned when he noticed me putting my hand in the cage. "She's a feisty one. She hasn't let a single person touch her since we found her." That didn't seem right, considering that the hawk instantly rubbed her head against my hand.
"She seems pretty nice to me," I said, shrugging. "Can I have her?" The shopkeeper nodded dumbly and I smiled happily as I made my way to my parents with the cage.
"Papa, vater, I chose my pet!" I exclaimed. "She's a… umm…" Papa observed my hawk closely. While he was doing this, I noticed that a few people were weirded out about the fact that my parents were both male. I don't really find anything odd about that, but then again, I grow up around homosexuals.
"Harry, this is a Cooper's Hawk!" He told me. "She's found in m- err, Canada! She must know who you are!"
"Awesome choice Cub!" Vater said, grinning at me. "What're you gonna name her?" I thought about that. My hawk looked fierce, and she was already from Canada, so how about a German name, since Prussia (sadly) doesn't exist anymore. BUT MY VATER'S LEGACY LIVED ON!"
"I think I'll name her… Marelda," I decided. "It means 'renowned warrior' in German, right vater?" Dad nodded and grinned.
"How much for her?" Vater asked the shopkeeper.
"Five galleons," the shopkeeper replied. Papa paid for Marelda and we headed out of the shop;.
"Okay, umm, books next I think," Papa said quietly. "And then we'll get your robes and your wand." At the word 'books,' I instantly began dragging my parents to the book shop. I love books so much! I ended up getting more books than I was supposed to though…
Nothing really happened in the robes shop, but I met this nice boy named Draco! He seemed to like me for me (even though he doesn't know that my 'real' name is Harry Potter) and he didn't seem to sneer at me for my parents being both guys. I also met a met a girl named Hermione there! She was really nice and loved books like me! She got sorta confused at my personality though because I started out acting really shy and then suddenly I'm being loud and obnoxious and saying how awesome I am!
When I got to the wand place, the man, Ollivander, seemed to know my real name! Papa said that he had a strange aura, so maybe he was one of those people with 'The Sight.' Or maybe he was a seer! Anyways, apparently there were two wands compatible with me. Like, I had taken one that was apparently Voldemort's brother wand- Okay, let me just stop there for a second. Flight of Death? Seriously? SO UNAWESOME! What was he thinking? Uncle Badly-Made-Scones (Don't tell him I called him that) says that his real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, and I figured out pretty quickly (with the help of Papa) that his name was an anagram! Seriously? UNAWESOME DUDE! And I'm pretty sure Light from Death Note killed more people in a year than Moldyshorts did in the war. I'm just guessing.
-Anyways, back to what happened, the wand lit up and stuff, but then another box began glowing FAAAAARRRRR in the back and Ollivander had gone to see what was up. Apparently it was made from an old sycamore tree found in Ontario, Canada (Yay!) and was 10 ½ inches, supple. The core was unique, made from thestral tail hair that had traces of polar bear fur and Prussian eagle feathers in it. Apparently it had been made a long time ago and was placed in the back of everyone's minds. Needless to say, I got two wands and an extra wand holder! Hurray! (I just made up the entire wand thing because I am terrible at coming up with things)
That was basically what happened. I'm pretty sure vater got kicked out of a bar because they didn't have his favorite beer or something on our way back home though. I'm gonna go beg Papa and Vater to come with me to Hogwarts! THEY HAVE TO COME WITH ME!
Haha, okay, so fast update. I know updated like, a few days ago, but I just love writing this! I know it's a short chapter, but I really couldn't write anything else for Diagon Alley. Like, seriously. And I don't have the first Harry Potter book with me so I can copy a few things down, like what actually happened in Diagon Alley in the original book so that I can adjust a few things.
Also, to all you people who are going to PM me the link to your fan art, put it on your profile and then PM me that the link is on your profile because when you PM me, the link won't come up. So yeah, that's all I have to say!
No wait, did anyone else realize how RANDOM I was in this chapter? Like, not even kidding! Harry has strange rants in his head… Haha, it's weird how when I don't try to be funny, I end up doing the most random things! And when I do try to be funny, it turns out just… NOT GOOD. Next time: Train Ride to Hogwarts!
