Magic of the Heart
First Meeting

We have been in England for about 3 weeks now and school starts in one week. I finally got my letter from Hogwarts saying that my transfer was accepted and a list of the school supplies I needed. My family had found the Leaky Cauldron not long after we arrived. We live in muggle London. I'm excited to be living there instead of the wizarding London. My best friend back home was a muggle-born and she taught me loads about them. I was truly distraught when I left her. She was like a sister to me. We write every week. She is so excited that I got into Hogwarts since the famous Harry Potter goes there. She has always had a superstar crush on him. She's crazy sometimes.

Anyways today my mom and I are going to Diagon Alley to get my supplies and get my wand fixed. I kind of had a little mishap and it splintered a little. But that isn't my first stop that is at Gringgott's to get some money. The goblins there are much nicer than the ones back home but they are still goblins need I say more.

Next I take my wand to Ollivander's they say he is the best at wands.

I walk in but I don't see anybody so I ring the bell on the desk. Ding ding

"Oh sorry my dear, I was lost in thought. So many wands so little time." An old man pops out from behind a shelf of wand boxes. He's a cute old man, slightly hunched over with crazy white hair sprouting out all over his head. He laughs and he walks towards me. "So want can I help you with on this fine day?" he smiles I hand him my wand.

"I was wondering if you could fix my wand. I had a little accident." I laugh and show him my wand.

"Hmm I see this should be easy to fix. Come back a few hours and I will have it ready for you."

"Oh thank you so much Mr. Ollivander. I'll see you soon"

"You are quite welcome my dear have fun shopping." He smiles and then returns to looking over my wand. I smile and exit the shop

I am in awe by this place there isn't anything quite like Diagon Alley in the US. I continue to look around and don't see where I am going. I run into someone and fall to the ground causing my glasses to fall off and scrape across the cobble stone.

"Oh my goodness! I am so sorry are you OK?" I hear the sweetest voice I have ever heard. I look up and see a gorgeous blur. Without my glasses I can't see very clear.

"Y…y…yeah I…I'm fine." I stutter. "I am so sorry it was all my fault." I apologize as I start to feel around for my glasses. My hand reached them the same time this mystery girl's hand does. Our hands touch and I feel a spark between us and shivers go up and down my spine. I move my hand away and stand up as she picks up my glasses. I dust myself off and look at her she hands me my glasses. I put them on but I can't see a thing my lenses have been scratched beyond repair. "Ugh now I have to wear my old pair till I can get these fixed." I sigh.

"Oh I can fix them for you." I can't see her smile but I know she is.

"O…OK" I say. She draws her wand and points it at me.

"Oculus reparo" she says and the scratches on my glasses disappear.

"Wow thanks. I always forget about that one." I smile she laughs. Now I can see her clearly. She has heavenly long wavy brown hair with natural highlights, and her chocolate brown eyes looking back at me. I look at her pink plump lips and I just want to kiss them. Wait what I just met this girl and I want to kiss her. I don't even know her name.

"Are you OK?" she waves her hand in front of my face as I have spaced out.

"Huh, what? Yeah I'm fine sorry I got lost in your smile." I smile at her and blush. She blushes back.

She giggles a little. Then she speaks again in her lovely accent. I have always had a thing for accents especially British accents. "I'm Hermione by the way, Hermione Granger." She sticks her hand out. I take it and shake it. We both feel a spark but just ignore it.

"I'm Anna, Anna Larson, pleasure to meet you Hermione."

"You're American." she smiles brightly.

"Yes"

"That's cool. I've always been fascinated about foreign wizarding cultures but I guess yours isn't much different from here."

"No no you are wrong about that it is completely different. There isn't an old world feeling like there is here. The wizarding world has kind of moved along with the muggle world. We don't use candles much anymore to light; we use electricity and other modern conveniences like telephones, but still no computers or internet. We still stick to the old owls and floos." I smile

"Oh wow, are you a muggle-born then?" she asks.

"No I am pureblood. Though I think maybe my great-great-great grandmother was a muggle-born." I get a serious look on my face as I think.

"Oh." she seems a little disappointed that I am pureblood, thinking I am like most purebloods and despise any non-purebloods. "Well I better let you go then. It was a pleasure meeting you." she nods and moves to walk away.

"Do you have to go? I was hoping maybe you could show me around." I look deep in her eyes and smile at her.

"You mean you want to be seen with a muggle-born?"

"Why wouldn't I? Just because your parents are muggles doesn't mean I don't want to get to know you." I wink at her and place my hand on her shoulder. "I wasn't raised like other purebloods. In fact my girlfriend back home is a muggle-born." Hermione smiles but when she hears me say girlfriend it disappears.

"Oh, your girlfriend?"

"Yeah we've been friends since we were little. She is so jealous I am going to Hogwarts with THE Harry Potter. She has the biggest crush on him from his stories and also being the Gryffindor Quiddich captain. I swear all the guys she tries to date she does just because they look like him." I laugh.

"Oh, so she not your girlfriend?" Hermione is confused.

"Oh no no she's just a friend we just call each other girlfriend." I smile realizing that Hermione was interested in me. Hermione smiles back. "I am as single as single is." She giggles.

"So you are going to Hogwarts. What year are you going to be in?"

"I am going to be a 6th year. I just turned 17 in June. So I feel a little young I mean most students in my grade at home have been 17 for most of the year." I smile.

"Well that makes me feel older. I'm going to me turning 18 in soon I should be a 7th year but my parents weren't sure about the whole wizarding thing at first so held me back but I don't mind."

"That's cool." I say. "Well at least now I know someone in my own year. I hope you can show me around." I wink.

"I would love to." Hermione steps a little closer to me. I feel her body heat against my body. I hold back a moan.

"So what made you come across the pond?"

"My dad got a job at the ministry. He really likes it so I am glad. I really didn't want to come here but now that I have met you I'm glad I did." I slide my hand into hers and she squeezes it. I don't know why I am being so forward with her I am usually so shy around girls I find attractive.

"I'm glad I met you too Anna." Hermione says as she looks deep in my eyes and smiles. And slowly moves a little closer.

"Oi! Hermi, come on!" a boy shouts from behind me and our trance is broken. Hermione looks over my shoulder; I turn my head and see a red headed boy, standing outside of Gambol & Japes.

"Ok Ron one minute" she shouts.

"Ok." He yells back.

"Sorry that's Ron I better get going."

"Ok" I feel crushed we have been flirting this whole time and she has a boyfriend. Then she leans in and whispers into my ear.

"I'll save you a seat on the train." And she kisses my cheek. I blush and she runs off. I lift my hand to my cheek; I can still feel the warmth of her lips I sigh. I feel a hand on my shoulder and jump nearly 5 feet off the ground. I turn to see my mom.

"Anna? You ok?"

"F…f…fine mom"

"You sure you look flushed."

"I am absolutely wonderful." I look in the direction that Hermione went and see her glance back at me and smile as she disappears with Ron and some other raven haired boy into the crowd. "I am absolutely wonderful."
