Okay Brie sorry about the last chapter I was in North Carolina during the hurricane and I had to write it on the ipad and sadly that doesn't have spell check, sooooo hope this is grammar/spelling correct enough for ya. As for pulling you in, I'm sorry if it didn't pull you in put I'm leaving the chapter the way it is because it pulled others in and I myself liked. Thanks for reviewing though and I am grateful for feedback.

This is for Ellen- Thx for reviewing and plz keep reading!

Molly- I love your story and you have to update!

Hales- you like your character's name?

"Honey!" my mother screeched up the stairs.

"Yes mother?" I answered.

"Hurry up! We need to get to Diagon Alley soon or we will miss all the good sales!"

"Coming!" I screamed. I grabbed my Tilt jeans ( that's for you Hales) my black society t-shirt, and my silver ring. I literally threw my combat boots on and thundered out the door.

"Tala, what did I say about running?" my mom clucked.

"It's not ladylike," I said with a roll of my eyes.

"Precisely," she said, steering me towards the fireplace, "Come along darling."

We arrived in the Leaky Cauldron in a whirl of flames. Mother told me to run along and meet her late that night back here. I said I would and mentally made a note to just get a room here now and avoid her for the next few days. I talked to Tom the bartender and secured a suite then headed out back.

I tapped the bricks above the trash can and stepped into the infamous Diagon Alley. I looked down at my school list and decided to get books first. It was a few days after the World Cup (witch had been amazing) and everyone was chatting about the surprising ending. I for one thought Krum had been smart to end the match. Anyways, I made my way to the bookshop and asked for assistance in finding schoolbooks. After that was done I replenished my potions ingredients and bought a new quill along with turquoise ink.

The last thing on my list was a pair of dress robes. What the hell did we need dress robes for?

I walked briskly over to Madam Malkins and opened the door. I saw Madam Malkin at the back of the store with, guess who, Narcissa and Draco Malfoy. She would try to fit the handsome dark green robes to him and he kept complaining and wouldn't stay still. I cleared my throat and they all looked up at the same time. Draco flushed bright red and Narcissa gave a little squeal, ran toward me and gave me an air kiss. Madam Malkin scurried over.

"How can I help you, Tala, is it?"

I nodded and smiled, "It says here that this year I will need a set of dress robes," I said uncertainly.

"Yes, yes, come stand over honey, and I will be with you in just a minute," she said, looking somewhat hassled.

Draco stood still for the rest of the fitting, head held high. Narcissa started looking through the fabric racks, and I got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

"All done!" Madam Malkin exclaimed, bustling over to me.

"What do you think about this color on you?" Narcissa asked, holding up a girly pink fabric with jewels.

"Err, umm, I-"

"Yes, this will look beautiful on you Tala," she interrupted, shoving the fabric into Madam Malkin's hands. I cringed as the fabric touched the skin. Pink. Pink is the most awful, horrible color ever! How could she possibly think I would like this?

Madam Malkin went to work, fitting the robes somewhat like a muggle prom dress. I couldn't help spazzing every time I saw myself in the mirror. I looked horrible in them! I didn't look like myself at all, in fact, I looked a lot like Pansy Parkinson.

Draco sat back and chuckled every time I made a face at my appearance. "Well Mother, you certainly have an eye for the special fashion choices."

She gave him a death glare and then turned back to me. The fitting was done and I was forced to buy the hideous robes. I managed a smile and thanked Narcissa for her fashion advice. I left the shop quickly and made for Gringotts. After withdrawing some leisure spending money, I walked down the street to Florean Fortesque's Ice Cream Shop and got a double chocolate raspberry waffle cone.

"Whooooeeeee! Look at Tallahassee with her big ol' waffle cone! Lemme guess, choco-rasberry?" said a voice from behind me. I turned around.

"Hunter!" I yelled, standing up and throwing myself at my friend. She smiled and rested her elbow on my shoulder. "Where have you been? I haven't seen you in forever!"

"Here and there," she answered, shrugging, " the real question is where have you been missy?

"You know me Hunt, I've been trying to do everything at once."

We both laughed and sat down. She got a water, and after I finished my Ice Cream we wandered the street for awhile until we got to the Quidditch store. I zoomed inside and almost flew to the stand holding the Firebolt, the broom I'd been wanting for a year now.

"If you want it so much just buy it Tala," Hunt said from behind me. I bit my lip and took out my money. I handed it to the cashier and took one of the Firebolts from the rack. I squealed in excitement and hopped up and down, accidentally bumping into a guy behind me.

"Watch it!" he said irritatedly.

"Sorry," I said in a sarcastic tone. people were so rude sometimes!

He started to say something else but decided against it and went back to looking at a broom servicing kit.

'Oooooo, Tallahassee made a guy friend," Hunter taunted as we walked out. I thought about it: He was maybe 5 inches taller than me, with black hair and bright blue eyes. Nothing very special.

"Haha Hunter, I don't think so," I replied, dismissing him from my mind.

We spent the rest of our time in muggle London, shopping for clothes and books. She shared my room with me and we caught a cab to King's Cross station.

We wheeled our carts towards the barrier of platform nine- and -three- quarters. We split up because Hunter had to meet up with her parents. I loaded my luggage onto the train and started looking for a compartment. I could tell which compartment I would sit in ten steps before I could see it. There was so much noise coming from it I was surprised no one was complaining.

I walked in and saw my other best friends Scarlet with her bushy red hair to match her name, and Kohl, the spunky brunette, mock dueling. When they saw me, they turned, shooting jets of light at me, which I ducked. They instantly were on me, hugging me and saying hellos.

Kohl wanted to talk about dress robes, while scarlet tried to explain to me the plot of a manga book. Hunter walked in and said hey to them, and we set about our usual insane activities.

I smiled to myself. It was good to be going home...
