A/N: I love Diagon Ally; it has so many things in it that just make you wish it actually existed, so I will be making quite the impression on the scene.

ENJOY!

Chapter 2: Crap! Snape

After the meeting with Snape, I was given the key to Mrs Figg's vault to use when I got to Gringott's; I was excited at the possibility of meeting an actual goblin.

Snape was… Snape, he hardly said a word to me unless it was to check if I forgot something or to tell me to hurry up, I wasn't even sorted yet and he was already unbearable.

I would enjoy every prank the Weasley Twin's play on him.

The trip to London was, well, awkward; it was like someone stuffed an elephant in the same car as us, I asked why we couldn't use magical means and said he was not in the mood to answer questions.

We eventually got to London and Snape coldly waited for me to get out of the taxi, we then got to the Leaky Cauldron, it was dank and depressing looking from the outside, but I when we went in I heard shouts of laughter and strong scents of alcohol wavering around the place.

We went past them and through the backdoor, the whole stone wall in sequence thing happened and the walls opened by up to reveal Diagon Ally.

It was… magical, I knew how dumb that line sounded but I couldn't help it, it just was, I saw so many things that made my head spin from lack of logic despite it being buried for five years.

The owls hooted from the Magical Menagerie, numerous kids were outside the Quidditch supply shop goggling at the newest models of broom (I wonder if I could join the team…), and best of all, many kids that were chowing away at their magic world sweets, the Fizzing Whizz Bees were making my mouth water from the sight of it.

Snape took out a list of my school supplies, first of all was money of course so we went to the Gringott's Wizarding Bank, I read the words on the door like it said on the book.

Enter, stranger, but take heed

Of what awaits the sin of greed,

For those who take, but do not earn,

Must pay most dearly in their turn,

So if you seek beneath our floors

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned, beware

Of finding more than treasure there.

"Mad to try to rob it…" I mumbled, and realised I will have to go insane with the next seven years if I was ever going to get the Cup of Hufflepuff, I laughed inside my head at the joke.

The Goblins were quite weird, they looked at me from the corner of their eyes like I was a slab of meat, I shivered at the thought, we got to the end of the torture at both sides of the hall to the lead goblin guy, after giving him the key, me and Snape got escorted by Griphook to Mrs Figg's vault, 231.

"I should warn you" I said to Snape as we got on the cart, "I was never good on rollercoasters"

I was sad to say that I puked in the middle of the twisting, turning passages of the ride, I was happy to report however, that a bit went on Snape's coat, and best of all, he couldn't even blame me because it was 'not my fault' and it was 'accidental' I was saved from the Griphook in the front with these words.

After picking up my jaw at the vault that seemed to pass ungodly wealth, I got a bag and proceeded to shovel as much Galleons into it as I could into it, and all my pockets, as well as persuading Snape with puppy dog eyes to give my an extra bag, it was small but it made me richer.

"Greedy aren't you?"

"Shut up DD, go play ballerina or something"

"I don't see how you are getting at me at comparing me to an idiot in a tutu who feels the need to push buttons"

"My point exactly"

"…WAIT!"

"Just got it didn't you?"

Any-who, we then went around the place getting everything for Hogwarts; we worked from the top to the bottom,

The robes were pretty nice; I had a little private fangirl scream at holding actual Hogwarts robes while I got all of them in the shop, thankfully I didn't have to meet Draco like Harry did in the book, so I enjoyed the absence of little, blond, whiny girl in my general area.

I actually got the pointed hat like in the list; I noted that I never really seen much of them being mentioned much in the book and movies, except Ms McGonagall, but she's a teacher, I thought to

We got all the books from Flourish and Blots, they were basic stuff typical for first year, and a quick look through the Standard book of Spells confirmed I already knew them all, I decided to read the others at a later date.

I decided to leave the wand till the end as I went through equipment; I bought two cauldrons just in case I melted the first one, as well as two sets of crystal vials, just in case, brass scales, telescope were normal except I got the special telescope that could shrink into my pocket and had a longer range of sight.

Snape would have passed the Magical Menagerie if it hadn't been for me begging, and threatening to bring one of Mrs Figg's cats in its place, considering how he was glared at by them when he was back at the house; he did a 180 and walked towards the shop.

I was bombarded with screeches, hoots, growls, barks and howls as I walked into the door, there were so many it would have been torturous to choose between them all, thankfully, I became kind of a cat person as I lived with them for five years, so I managed to narrow it down to them, so I went from cat to cat to see which fit me best.

My eyes finally fell on a peachy-gold cat sitting on top of the counter, she was beautiful, and I resisted all urge glomp the little guy as I looked at her.

Her fur was what I describe to be Puffy-Fluffy, and I already knew the name at the thought.

"Fluffy" I said as I looked at her, it was a common thing, as I grew up I always naming my toys after what they looked like, but I swear I saw a slight look of irritation at my on-the-second-name for her, remembering Mrs Figg's cats, I turned to the shop owner.

"Is she part Kneazle?" I asked,

"Yes, she doesn't like names that are too cutesy as well" he grinned at my slip-up.

I caught the sight of Snape outside the window gesturing for me to either steal the two owls that were the size of my hands, or to hurry up, I guessed it was the latter.

I turned and bowed apologetically to the cat, "Sorry, you can choose the name if you want"

The cat tilted her head to the side curiously, and nodded slightly, all the while the shopkeeper watched us both with a wide eyed expression.

"That is quite strange, she has never really liked any of her previous buyers before, she usually runs away after a few days you know" he then grins at me, "I think you will find she favours the name Autumn, it is her favourite season as well"

I looked toward the she-cat and she nodded again to confirm it.

"Okay then" I smile, "then your name is Autumn, pleased to meet you, my name is Pamela"

I then paid 24 Galleons for Autumn and went out the shop before Snape could break the window with his impatient tapping.

And then our final destination was Ollivander's, for my wand, I was actually skipping to the place in glee, while Snape dragged behind, looking miserable.

I went into the shop as Snape stayed outside again, and looked around for Ollivander, I had a sneaking suspicion that he was actually a ninja, after all, he can just pop out of-

"Hello"

HOLY!

I whipped around to see Ollivander behind me as he was lighting a candle, I was sure that he wasn't there before.

Ninja…

He then calmly walked over to the counter and got behind it, he then looks back at me.

"Pamela Joy I presume" he then cracked a wide smile, "I remember your parents when they came to buy their first wands, Julian Fleming, 9 inches, beech, Dragon Heartstring, quite strong, and Trisha Joy, 10 inches, willow, Unicorn Hair, they were a rowdy bunch both of them if I recall correctly"

Scary…

"H-h-h-hello" I stuttered scared at the old man, he didn't show any sign of noticing however and took out a tape measure and took measurements of everything of my body,

"Which is your wand arm?" he asks as he uncomfortably measured my chest,

"R-right"

From one of the numerous little boxes everywhere he took out a wand.

"Try this one, cherry, 8 inches, Dragon Heartstring"

I took it and waved it slightly, it caused some of the floorboards under me to break in half.

I lay the wand on the counter, VERY carefully.

"Let's try this one, 11 inches, darkthorn, Kneazle hair, weaker, yet bonds easier" he said as he gave me another, I heard Autumn hiss slightly at the remark.

I waved it again and I was sure that I heard the foundation crack from under the house.

"Not that one" Ollivander grinned as he took out yet another.

I then got reminded at how Harry was looking for his wand in the book, and just like him, I had my own pile of wands slowly stacking up, as well as numerous windows and walls breaking because of me.

And just like the book, Ollivander just smiled even more with each one.

He then went to the back of the shop, hearing him mutter how I was just as hard to find a wand for like Harry, and then he lapsed into silence as he found what he wanted.

He came back with a very old looking box, and he blew the dust off it as he opened it slowly.

Inside was a beautifully crafted masterpiece, it swirled around in complex designs with a silver colour that seemed to make it glow.

Ollivander looked at me with a careful look, "12 inches, Silver lime, Unicorn Hair, the last one at least in my stores" He carefully took it out and put it in my hands.

I looked at its artistic body before I gave it a hesitant wave, I then felt a warm felling spreading from my hand to the rest of my body, and then I heard a sound as if paper was tearing backwards and looked to see all the accidents that were caused from the previous wands were slowly fixing themselves.

As I watched it all happen, I could hear Ollivander humming contently.

"I have had that in my shop since the time of my grandfather; Silver Lime is incredibly rare you know, doesn't exist in new wands nowadays" I looked back at his smiling face, "and not only that, early in my and my father's career, we had tried that wand on nearly every young witch and wizard, never found anyone who could wield it however"

"Does that mean it's expensive?" I hoped it wasn't something like one hundred Galleon's, I could afford it, but I didn't want to seem like a rich snob.

"Well normally it would, but consider it a gift, after all, it was actually my grandfather's wish to have it given to the right owner," he then smiled at me, "I hope to see great things from you Miss Joy"

I then left with my new wand in my pocket, Snape told me to get into the taxi and we went back to my house, Mrs Figg's and me talked about several things of Hogwarts after Snape and then I went to my bedroom.

"If anyone is wondering why she is not putting in Snape's voice, it is because she is scared of him"

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are so!"

"Not!"

"Are!"

"Not!"

"Are!"

"Not! And if you say I am again, I will set the entire Justin Bieber soundtrack on you"

"You wouldn't dare"

"Baby, Baby, Baby Ooooooo…"

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH"

Back to my story, I looked over my school uniform and realised I had some work to do, using a transfiguration spell I turned all the ugly skirts into a pairs of trousers, and then I went to my sewing kit box, where I put some dark purple patches on the elbows of all the shirts, and then I put a small badge on each of the arms with a 'P' on it, I got a bright blue and orange scarf and put it around my neck also wearing the rest of one of my uniforms.

I looked at my mirror and thought something was missing, I then looked through my drawer and found an ordinary belt and transfiguring it, the belt was gold coloured and the buckle was silver, I put it around my waist and looked in the mirror, and smiled, perfect.

I vaguely wondered what everyone's reactions would be when I went in looking like this, but I shrugged and didn't worry too much.

I then stripped down and put on my PJ's to go to bed, I drifted off to sleep, while DD screamed at the mental signal I was sending to him.

Sweet music…

Time Skip

I was here, Kings Cross Station, and I had more than enough strange looks as I stood there with Mrs Figg's at my side, couldn't blame them, with the trolley holding a cat and several trunks, Autumn on a side note was snuggling into my witch hat like a big bed, and sleeping on top of my trolley.

"Now dear" Mrs Figg's says as we walk down the platform towards the barrier, "remember to be careful as you are there, don't give any grief to your teachers, especially that Snape man, he seems like those rotter's who hold a grudge"

"Yes gran" I say, a man stares at us as we walk past, and Mrs Figg's notices this,

"What the heck you looking at!" he yells at him, the man jumps and hurries on his way.

She turns back to me, "Also, don't experiment too much, nasty business that is, and never go near the Forbidden Forest, don't talk to them Weasley twins, heard a lot about them let me tell you, brush your teeth every day, make sure when you tell a boy no, it means NO And-

"Gran!" I nearly yell as she was rambling, she stops and realises she was rambling and blushed slightly, we then found ourselves at the barrier.

Before we could walk in, I saw the Weasley family coming up behind us; it is strange that they don't be more quiet saying Wizarding things in front of normal folk, especially since they are getting more attention because of their bizarre appearance.

"Okay, you first Percy" says Mrs Weasley as they get the barrier, the tallest red head, Percy, walks forward with his trolley and goes through the stone wall, I cast a glance behind me and confirmed that Harry was looking hopelessly dumbfounded at the sight.

The twins then confused their mother with the whole Forge, Gred routine, I didn't see the problem; I could tell them apart quite easily.

Finally, Harry comes out of hiding, but instead of asking the Weasley's for help, he comes up to me.

"Done stalking yet Harry?" I asked with a cheeky grin,

"Huh?" he replies unconvincingly,

I looked at Ginny, who had heard us talking and cast a curious look towards us, with knowledge that both of them would be snog-buddies in the future, I grinned even wider.

I dropped my voice lower, "The little red haired girl is a keeper, better start early right?"

Harry took on an interesting shade of red, Mrs Figg's chuckled and she moved towards the barrier, going in herself, after telling me to come in when I was done.

"I-it's nothing like that!" he shouts,

"That's so cute…"

"So your one of those girls"

"And what does that mean?"

"The kind that teases until they are a gibbering wreck of course"

"You give the info of every couple in the future and you expect me to NOT use it, you must be out of your mind DD"

I then showed Harry how to walk into the barrier, with Mrs Weasley throwing in her two cents at starting off in a run, we then found ourselves and Platform Nine-and-three-Quarters, I glanced at Harry who was enraptured at the sight of the Hogwarts Express, with a quick scan of the crowd I could see several familiar faces that I never met before, Neville with what I assume to be his grandmother, a bushy head of hair belonging to Hermione struggling with her trunk, and I was sure I caught the glimpse of a blond, Dracula-Styled hairdo somewhere in the mass of new first years.

I took in a deep breath, I was going to really start a year in Hogwarts, I cast a sound-proof bubble around my head and screamed into it when no one was looking my way, then dispelled it, good.

"By the way, when do I get my new power?"

"When you get sorted of course, it may be wise considering which house you may be in"

"But I want to be Gryffindor"

"Always with the house of the Brave and Stupid isn't it?"

"Shut up DD"

I then helped Harry with his luggage thanks to a Feather-Weight Charm, and got on the train.

A/N: Sorry it took so long, I was getting distracted by, well, life, exams and general writers block.

I have the power planned this year so you will have to wait next chapter for what it is, so as the Japanese say, Sayonara!
