Chapter Three

A week later, just as Rain was putting away her bowl and spoon from breakfast, there was a ring at the doorbell. Before she could move towards the door, she heard Dustin running like a heard of elephants to get to the door first. You'd think he was the one who discovered he had magical powers. She made her way to the door at a more dignified pace—well, as dignified as an over excited fourteen-year-old witch could be.

"'Ello there," Rain heard a gruff voice say. "Is Rainnina at 'ome?"

"RAIN!" Dustin hollered from the doorway.

Rain came around the corner and was about to tell off her younger brother for being so loud first thing in the morning, but was distracted by the man standing in the doorway. He was huge! He was nearly twice the size of a normal man and he had an awful lot of hair covering up most of his face. Rain's first instinct was to be afraid of him, but his eyes were smiling and friendly.

"Hello," she said, stepping up to the door. "I'm Rainnina Bone and this my annoying half-brother, Dustin Mackenzie."

They shook hands. "My name's Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. I'll be taking yer te Diagon Alley today. That is, o' course, with yer parents' permission."

"Sure, alright," said Rain, she turned to her brother. "Dustin, why don't you show Mr. Hagrid into the living room while I go and get mom."

"Kay," he said. He eyed her up and down. "Get dressed while you're at it."

Rain blushed, she was still in her flannel pajamas. "Right."

After she was changed and her parents were downstairs, Rain found it rather difficult to sit still, her excitement coursing through her.

"Righ' then if tha's all, bes' be off," said Hagrid, standing up from the sagging armchair.

"Can I come too?" Dustin asked.

"You're not a wizard, Dustin," Tammy said soothingly.

"Hey, the boy can come if he wants ter, tha' is with yer permission o' course," said Hagrid.

Dustin looked hopefully at his mother.

"Oh alright," she said, almost drowned out by Dustin's excited whoop. "But stay close to your sister."

"I shall stick to her like a Siamese twin," he said, hand over his heart.

"I hope not," said Rain. "That would be hard to go to the bathroom."

An hour later Rain, Dustin and Hagrid were standing on the crowded streets of London. Rain and Dustin, who had never been to London, were staring around, eyes wide.

"Come on, then," said Hagrid. "Yeh haven' seen the bes' part yet."

They walked down a few streets until they came to a street filled with shops.

"Here we are," said Hagrid. They had stopped in front of a dingy-looking pub nestled between a bookstore and a record shop.

Hagrid led the way to the pub. Rain tried to follow, but was jerked to a halt by her brother, who had been holding her hand. He had stopped with a dazed look on his face and wasn't looking at the pub.

"What's the matter, Dustin?" she asked, waving a hand in front of his face.

"Sorry bou' that," said Hagrid. "Forgot ter warn yeh. This place repels Muggles."

"What's wrong with him," Rain accused.

"Nothin's wrong with him, he's jus' a bit confused. Once he's inside, he'll be the same as before."

Getting Dustin to move inside proved difficult, however. Though he moved when tugged, he would veer off course towards either the book shop or the record shop. Eventually, Rain just picked him up, piggyback and carried her brother into the pub. Hagrid offered to do that for her but she wouldn't allow it, he was her brother after all.

He snapped out of it as soon as they were inside.

"Well that was weird," was all he said as he climbed off his sister's back.

"Ah, Hagrid," said the bartender from across the room, reaching for a glass. "The usual?"

"No thanks, Tom, Hogwarts busyness. Maybe later."

Hagrid led the two teenagers across the pub and out the back door. Outside was a small walled courtyard with nothing but a garbage can. Dustbin, Rain corrected herself. Hagrid pulled a flowery pink umbrella from out of nowhere and pointed out a particular brick in the wall.

"Remember this one," he said to a confused Rain. Then he proceeded to tap the brick three times with the point of his umbrella. A hole appeared where he tapped it, the hole grew larger and larger until there was an archway leading out to a street packed with people and shops.

Dustin actually gasped out loud at the sight before them.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley," said Hagrid dramatically. "Yeh got yer list and money, Rainnina?"

"Yep," she choked out, still staring.

"Well, let's get yer robes first," he steered Rain and Dustin towards a shop, whose sign read: Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.

Five minutes later, Rain was standing on a stool while Madam Malkin pinned her robes to the right length. Dustin sniggered in the corner.

"What's so funny?" Rain asked.

"You look funny in that," he said.

"Well everyone here is dressed like this, so I think you're the one who looks funny, little brother," Rain retorted.

A sullen-looking boy walked in, the bell at the door ringing.

"One moment, dear," Madam Malkin said to Rain. She stood to greet her customer, she spoke to him for a few moments before returning to Rain and calling for another witch in the back of the store to help the new customer.

Dustin and Rain watched as the boy, about Rain's age, stepped up onto the stool next to her and got fitted for new robes. He had a long nose and long black hair that looked like it could do with a wash. He noticed their stares.

"What?" he asked.

Rain just smiled, her way of dealing with hostility. "Nothing."

He glared. "You were staring at me," he accused.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

The boy stared, confused. "What's that accent? American?"

Rain nodded. "I'm from Canada originally, but yeah."

"You moved here then?" almost all of the boy's hostility was gone.

"Yep."

"So you're going to go to Hogwarts?" Rain nodded. "What year?"

"Fourth."

"Me too. What house do you think you'll be in?"

"I don't know what that means."

"Oh, I guess you wouldn't. I'm in Slytherin."

"Mmm," said Rain, not knowing what else to say.

"My name's Severus, what's yours?"

"Rainnina, but everyone calls me Rain. Over there is my brother, Dustin."

Severus looked at Dustin, who was watching the conversation. "Why isn't he getting fitted for robes?" he asked.

"Oh, Dustin's not going to Hogwarts, he's a Muggle."

"Hey," said Dustin, a little miffed. "You say that like it's a bad thing."

"You're right, that was insensitive of me, I'm sorry."

"Wait you're Muggleborn?" asked Severus the hostility had returned.

"Yeah, is there a problem with that?"

"Oh, no," he sneered sarcastically. "Nothing at all."

His tone ended the conversation. Dustin glared daggers at him for the next ten minutes until Madam Malkin was done with Rain's robes. As they left, Rain heard Severus mutter under his breath.

"Mudblood."

A/N: Oh no he didn't! I hope you guys liked my take on the Muggle repellent that the Leaky Cauldron has on it. Anyway R&R!
