"And is Gringotts really run by goblins?" Lily's voice had a hint of fear in it.
"Yeah, but don't worry they wont hurt us or anything, I'll make sure of that." Severus made Lily feel secure. She trusted his word, and knowledge of magical world.
"OK I'll trust you Sev." As she said his name there was a shadow of a smile on his face. After they got some money out the two young children walked around Diagon Alley, buying what they needed and dreaming about buying things they didnt need. After a while they only had one thing left to buy.
"And now, all we have left to get are our wands, over there," he pointed to an old looking shop with dirty windows, "that's Olivander's, he's the best wand maker in this region, his whole family has been making wands since the mid-evil times, maybe even before! Come on, let's go." Severus and Lily rushed over to the aged building and ran inside.
They came to an abrupt stop, and it was almost as if the air was too stiff to move in. There were wand boxes perched precariously all around the small shop and they didn't want to knock anything over. They both jumped as a young man stepped out of a row of wands. He had dark brown hair and deep grey eyes, his eyes were so mysterious, they scared both Severus and Lily, yet they were mesmerizing, and Severus thought that, had the man turned around and asked who wanted to get their wand first, he wouldn't have been able to look away. But Lily volunteered, and after she had gotten and paid for her wand, it was Severus's turn. Once he felt the wand he knew would belonged in his hand, he counted out the right amount of money, gave it to Olivander, then he and Lily quickly scurried back outside into the sunlight.
"Did you see his eyes?" Lily was quite shaken by their short trip into the wand-makers store.
"Yea I did, they made me feel like I was being hypnotized. They were creepy, I hope I don't have to go in there often." Severus wasn't as shaken as Lily, but he still wished he never had to stare into Olivander's eyes again. "But enough about that, lets go get your owl!"
After a long day of shopping, and seeing new sights Lily and Severus were tired out. When they came back to their nieghborhood they went thier separate ways. When he got home Severus went past his father who was on the couch with an empty beer bottle in his hand, and past his mother who was stareing blankly at one spot on a page of a book, and straight up to his room, he deposited his things, and fell asleep fully clothed. Where as Lily came home put her things down and went to find her family to show them all the new stuff she had gotten, and tell them about her day. After all of that, however, she too went to her bed and fell asleep, a small smile still on her face as she dreamed of young witches and wizards in a fantastic castle.
