Nope still not mine. sigh
The first thing Harry noticed when they entered Diagon Alley was that all of the adult wizards and most of the kids a year older than him and up looked like they were some how related to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Before he could start looking at anything else Colonel Hagrid started to talk to him again.
"First things first, we need to go to Gringotts."
"Gringotts? What's Gringotts?" asked Harry.
"What planet are you from Cadet? Gringotts is the wizarding bank."
"Cadet?"
"Yes Cadet. That is what you will be referred to when you enter Hogwarts."
"Oh."
When they entered Gringotts Harry looked around amazed and a little freaked out after reading the warning on the door. He got his key from the goblins and found his vault. Then Harry had to add to the list of odd things about Colonel Hagrid. They had stopped at an extra vault when they were down getting money from Harry's vault. This vault had a lot of extra security for it. It had a door that can only be opened by a goblin and was located at the bottom of Gringotts. Harry wondered what Hagrid needed from the vault, but when he asked all he got as a reply was a, "Classified." Harry thought it was better not to ask again. Soon they found themselves outside of Gringotts and walking through Diagon Alley again.
"Time to get your uniforms." said Hagrid.
"Uniforms? As in plural?" asked Harry a tad bit confused.
"Yes plural! You don't know anything about Hogwarts do you." Colonel Hagrid said gruffly.
"Ummm-"
"Never mind" Colonel Hagrid said as he cut Harry off. "You will need to get your fatigues, your robes, and you flight suit."
"Flight suit?!"
"Yes flight suit. Hogwarts is based off of the muggle Flight…no Plane… well their flying military." said Colonel Hagrid.
"The Air Force?"
"That's it!" Colonel Hagrid said acting a lot like Lucy form the Peanuts. (Who doesn't like that movie?)
"You mean I have to fly?" asked Harry.
"Of course you do. I'll have to find someone to explain it all to you."
"Why cant you?"
"Trust me you wouldn't like that." said Colonel Hagrid as he grinned.
They came to a store called Madam Malkin's Robes, Fatigues, and Flight Suits and for all Occasions and walked in. Madam Malkin was friendlier looking than Hagrid. She fitted Harry in his flight suit, fatigues and robes. While he was trying on his robes he met another boy who was getting his uniforms for Hogwarts. Harry didn't really like the guy. He didn't seem nice, but it could have been because he didn't understand half of what he was saying. Maybe he would find someone nice when he got to Hogwarts.
Colonel Hagrid led Harry into another store, but Harry couldn't tell what was in the store by reading the name like he could the last store. This store was called Ollivandes. Colonel Hagrid told him it was a wand and magical weaponry store. It took Harry a while to find his wand. Colonel Hagrid told him he wouldn't need to buy any weapons until his second year because they would be provided by the school.
While Harry and Colonel Hagrid were shopping for the rest of his school supplies, they passed by a store full of owls and other animals. Harry saw a snowy owl that seemed to really like him. He went in and bought her and named her Hedwig. When he came back out Colonel Hagrid saw what he had bought and approved.
"Good choice Cadet, having an owl will be really useful." said Colonel Hagrid.
"Why would having an owl be useful? I just got her because she really likes me and seemed like she needed me. I have also always wanted a pet, but the Dursly's would never let me get one." replied Harry a tad bit confused.
"What?! Of course an owl would be useful! That's how we send letters to each other in the wizarding world!"
"Ohhhh."
"You mean you didn't know that?"
"No. I didn't even know wizards existed until yesterday."
"The Dursly's didn't tell you anything? I knew it was a bad idea to leave you with those muggles."
Ok! Hope you liked it mabey some of you cough kitarisilverdragon cought will decide to review next time. : )
