So this is the 2nd chapter already, I meant to post it yesterday actually but i wasn't able to finish typing it. Thank you everyone who reviewed! You have no idea how excited it made me!

Chapter 2

"Alex, get up! We have to go!" Justin called up to her from the bottom of the stairs. It was noon and they were supposed to be going to Diagon Alley today to get her new school supplies.

"Ready," Alex said from behind him, she had flashed herself downstairs fully dressed holding a bowl of cereal. "Bye Mom bye Dad!" She called, walking out the door with Justin rolling his eye following her.

"Where do you think you are going?" Justin asked her.

"To Diagon Alley, duh'

"Well we can't walk there, it's in London. Come on," then he grabbed her arm and transported them both there.

"Wow," Alex said looking around her, "This is so cool."

"Sure, it is. Now let's just get your things so we can leave. I really don't want to be here."

Alex looked back at her brother, "What's the rush? Can't we just look around for a bit? Oh I get it, you're jealous that you don't get to go!"

"No. Now, what's the first thing on the list?" Justin asked trying to change the subject. "Why don't we get your school books first? Lets see, I think the book store was this way," he trailed off mostly talking to himself now. Alex followed reluctantly, rolling her eyes.

Alex followed Justin all the way to Flourish and Blotts, looking at all the old buildings in awe while Justin kept his head in the map he had, trying to avoid anymore questions from Alex.

"Here it is!" Justin called out excitedly, stopping suddenly causing Alex to bump into him.

"Watch where you're going," Alex said annoyed, as she stepped back and fixed her hair. "Lead the way," she said, looking at her reflection in the window.

Justin gave her a look, but continued into the shop. Alex followed, eyeing the odd books in the window.

Inside it was unlike any book store they had ever seen. Along all the shelves were endless books on all of the magical topics you could think of, and the shelves covered every wall.

"Which book do you want to get first?" Justin asked, checking the list.

"I don't know, you have the list," Alex replied, giving him a dirty look and crossing her arms.

"Right, then lets start over here."

They walked around the old book store for about 40 minutes, finding all the books she would need for this year, and then some. When Justin got in a heated debate with a sales clerk over whether magic carpets or brooms were better for the environment Alex went to sit down. Who knew this was going to be so much work, she thought, at Wiz Tech all they had to do was show up; at least that's all she did. But this was going to be worth it.

Her gaze drifted across the room to a very pale, blond boy who was just entering the shop with his parents. Alex followed him with her eyes as he wondered all around, getting only what he needed. As soon as his parents had gone off to pay for the books, Alex stood up to go over and ask him his name. She was almost out of her seat when she was interrupted by someone stepping in front of her.

"Hello, I haven't seen you around here before. My name is Neville Longbottom," Alex sat back down now glaring at the dorky kid. She couldn't help but notice, the boy she had been planning to talk too just moments before, was now watching her as this freak tried to make friends with her, how humiliating.

"What's yours?" Neville asked, snapping back Alex's attention.

"My what? Oh, Alex, Alex Russo. I'm not from here."

"Then where are you from?" the blond boy walked out the door, shoot.

"America, I'm shopping for school books. I'm switching to Hogwarts."

"No way! I go there!"

"Wow that's so cool," Alex said in a sarcastic tone, she was now getting extremely short tempered with this kid. "Well maybe I will see you there. I need to find my brother."

"Okay, we should sit together on the train!" Alex nodded, not really knowing what he meant by that, and walked away looking for Justin.

"Alex, over here," Justin called out to her from over by the door. Alex made her way over to him, barely noticing Neville waving to her. "Already making friends I see? Who was that?"

"Some kid who tried to talk to me, like, Nellie or something," Alex said looking bored, fixing her nails.

"Well does he go to Hogwarts?" Justin asked as they made their way out.

"I don't know, probably."

"Okay then…. Well I think we should get you a wand next."

"But I already have a wa-"

"I know, but you are required to have one of these for this type of magic."

"Well that's stupid." Alex said as they walked into the place that must be where they get wands, except she didn't see any….

"Whoops wrong store!" Justin said, quickly turning around and walking out; Alex followed him across the street.

"This looks better," Alex said when they got inside. "You got the map upside down or something?"

Justin glared back at her, "Just go get a wand."

"But I don't know how-"

"Ah, hello. I don't believe I've ever seen you around here," came the voice of Ollivander from behind the shelves, as he was saying this his head appeared into view. Coming out to stand behind the counter, he continued. "Now what can I help you with? Here to get a wand I would assume?"

Alex nodded, she couldn't really find the words to say anything, and this guy was kind of giving her the creeps; his white hair sticking out all over the place.

"And what would your name be?" he asked, staring into her soul.

"Alex Russo, I'm from America."

"Ah, I see. Well let me find something," he went over to the shelf closest to him and pulled out a box, carefully unwrapping the wand inside. "Here, try this."

Alex took it, kind of self conscious because everyone was watching her. "What am I supposed to do?" she asked, tapping it against her hand. Suddenly the light bulb above her broke, shattering into a million pieces all around her, causing her to flinch.

"Hmm, not that one," said Ollivander, brushing off his shoulder and taking the wand. They went through the same process many more times until they finally found one that worked and then paid and left.

"That was a lot of work. Why couldn't we have just ordered one off the internet or something?" Alex asked.

"Because, we had to get one that was special to you, and now you do."

They finished the rest of their shopping and Alex got everything she needed plus a brown owl she ended up naming Poopy. A couple of times they were spotted by someone from Hogwarts who would watch her curiously, but the only person she really wanted to was the blond boy she saw earlier, but they never did. Then they went back home, and after her and Justin told their parents all about their day, Alex went to bed and dreamt of her new school, but mostly of a pale blond boy rescuing her from her dorky stalker.

Well I hoped you enjoyed it! I don't know how long it will be until i get the next chapter posted because i haven't finished writing it yet so we will see. Also I was asked if this was going to be a Harry/Alex story, to be honest, I'm not really sure yet. What do you all think?
