Here it is: Chapter Six. It's my shortest chapter so far, but oh well. I really would appreciate it if you decided to review, you know. I also like ideas; maybe I could include them in my writing. Or perhaps I wouldn't. Oh, the question on the bottom, you guessed right, it's just there to make you review (well, that's not the ONLY reason, but it is the main reason), but don't tell, okay? I bet you don't read this anyways, but if you do you'd better review!

Chapter Six:

Diagon Alley

She stepped through the newly opened archway gasping in delight. A cauldron shop on her left faced an apothecary on her right. She wanted to look for a library, to see if she could find out something about this new world. She passed a store with owls in cages, a store called Quality Quidditch Supplies, whatever that was, and there was a broom portrayed in the window. She saw a stationery shop before stopping in front of a store that portrayed books.

Flourish & Blott's, Chloe remarked as she entered, what a strange name! She immediately noticed that this was not a library, but indeed a book shop.

"Excuse me." Chloe stopped in front of a witch with uniform robes. "Do you happen to know where I can find a library?"

"Sorry, miss, but we don't have any public libraries around here. There are private libraries, though, like Hogwart's, but the books are charmed so they can't leave the school."

"Is it that way here too? The books are charmed so they can't leave the store unless they're paid for?"

"Yep. So what can I do for you?"

"Um, do you happen to have any books that would explain the Wizarding World to muggles/muggleborns? Something that covers a little bit of everything."

"Would you like it used or new?"

"Used, I think, as long as the words are still visible."

"Ahh, what about this? All About the Wizarding World for Dummies written by a muggleborn. 12 sickles."

"Sickles? Wizards have their own money? Where can I exchange?" The witch pointed Chloe down the street.

"On this side!" she called after her.

"Ok!" she yelled beck. "Thank you!"

Chloe passed a goblin when she walked through the bronze doors. Stopping, she read the engraving on the silver doors:

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.

"Wow," she breathed softly. Passing through these silver doors, flanked by goblins, she entered a vast marble hall. It sparkled!

"What can I do for you, little girl? Lost?" It was easy to tell that the goblin had no respect for her.

"Forgive me if I'm not supposed to be here. I merely came to see if I could exchange muggle money for wizard."

The goblin regarded her curiously. He hadn't expected her to speak like that!

Chloe held back a chuckle when she heard his thoughts.

"How much?"

Chloe looked in her purse, pulled out about half of her savings and put them on the counter. I knew there was a reason why I saved all my allowance.

"Here you go miss. You may also have a money bag for only 3 knuts since it's you're first time here."

"Sure," Chloe replied pleasantly. "Thanks!" The goblin handed her the money bag with a couple galleons, plenty of sickles, and even more knuts inside. She nodded politely and left, casting a charm on her money bag to make it invisible. She hurried down the street, back to the bookstore.

"My book still here?" Chloe asked the witch teasingly and she spun around, glaring.

"That was not funny!"

"Sorry, I thought it was," Chloe replied, smirking "So, book, please?"

"Of course," the witch replied, rolling her eyes. "This it?" she asked, handing her All About the Wizarding World for Dummies.

"Yes, for now. I'll just look around for a bit. Expect me back later!" Chloe stepped out of the shop, putting her money bag in her pocket and grabbing her book tightly, settling down outside Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. She opened her book and started reading.

"'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded in ca. 1000 a.d. by Gordic Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. They all shared a dream and became known as the four greatest wizards and witches of . . . Quidditch is a sport played in the air on broomsticks. There are four balls and seven players on each team; a keeper, three chasers, two beaters, and a seeker. The beaters have . . . October 31, 1981, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named disappeared after trying to kill Happry Potter. Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived . . ."

Chloe sighed and stretched. Judging from the sun, it was about 10:26, so she should be getting back to Sunny in about an hour. She had scanned through the book, making sure she got all the important facts. She'd read it more thoroughly later.

Standing up, Chloe decided to go back to Flourish and Blott's and grab a couple of beginner's books. Just in case she'd need them.

She stepped into the shop and heard a voice speak behind her. "Hands up, child!"

Chloe stopped dead, frightened.

Dun dun dun! This chapter is dedicated to me for writing it even though no one reviews. (Yes, I understand it's really hard to press that little button and type a few words... NOT! So please review!)

CQ: Who do you think is the owner of the voice that says "Hands up, child"?
