Chapter 4: Shopping Spree
Jacob's POV
Alice decided it was best we split up to get more shopping done. So she, Esme and Rosalie went to buy some schoolbooks for us. We would have a lot of studying to do. Especially me. They could just look at the book and practically know everything. Even though I hated to admit it, I was actually eager to study. No, don't worry; I haven't turned into a nerd. I just want to learn more spells! I smiled as I thought of all the possible pranks that could be done on Rosalie. You see, I needed to get back at her. Hogwarts is in the UK, so the vampires swam here. She kept teasing me because I only doggie-paddled. I couldn't help it!
Edward, Nessie and Emmett went to buy broomsticks for all of us. Apparently the wizards had a sport of their own, called Quidditch.
Bella and Carlisle were out shopping for Yulio Juice. It was apparently good for strengthening power, and Bella would need to be shielding the entire Hogwarts 24/7. Jasper would only be arriving tomorrow, as he was setting cameras up at the house. He got his wand yesterday already and was putting protective charms on Forks. I don't see how charms will protect it against vampires, but it will help.
This left me alone to do what I pleased. I walked around taking in the strange alley. Everyone seemed cheery. Then I saw the perfect shop. In front of it was a brightly colored sign reading "Weasley's Wizard Wheezes." A prank shop! Perfect!
I excitedly walked in and saw two identical red-head boys behind the counter. "Welcome to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes!" they chorused. "I'm Fred and this is George," one of them said. "How can we help you?"
I grinned. I've always liked red-heads. "I'm okay, thanks."
I walked around the shop. Finally I saw a box of chocolate allsorts. A note next to them said: when eaten, the chocolate allsorts create purple pustules all over face. Lasts 30 minutes.
Once I had bought these, I kept walking around out of interest. A lot of signs referred to a certain "You-Know-Who." I went to the counter and asked.
"Fred? Who is this You-Know-Who character? I'm an exchange student from America, so I don't know these things yet."
He seemed to choke on the donut he was eating, then answered. "A dark wizard that should be kept away from."
"Oh, okay," I answered. "Thank you, and thanks for the chocolates too."
As I turned around to walk out, I saw an incredibly beautiful girl talking to a dorky-looking boy with black hair and glasses. She had long, red hair and stunning brown eyes.
"Harry," she said. "I saw the way Cho was acting…..and well….I guess I would be fine if you two..."
"No!" he cut in. "Forget about her. If she is jealous that's her problem."
The girl saw me looking at them and smiled a sad smile. "I've got to go," she said to Harry. She walked outside and her up her wand, then disappeared into thin air. "Wow," I said.
"It's called apparate," Alice said, suddenly behind me. "I just did it, so fun!"
"You could at least warn me before appearing behind me. You gave me a fright!" I said and she laughed. "Here," she said, giving me a bunch of parcels. "Those are all your books, your wand, your broomstick and your robes."
"We should be getting home," she added. "Tomorrow is going to be a long day, and you need sleep."
