Once I had told them that I was going, mama said she going to go clean up and pop's was going to go cash some money from the bank.
You know what those people did. They left me alone with Professor Snape.
Well not really alone since mama was in the next room cleaning up but still we were left in solitude, in the living room, while we waited for my parent's return.
It was awkward.
For me.
He looked rather annoyed but somehow still kept this, nobleish air around him and his magic was calm.
Oh yeah I actually found a way to work on my magic sensing, I actually learned this technique from Naruto. By the way magic and chakra not the same, at all, it is not used the same way nor is it anywhere near the same as chakra since it is spiritual and not spiritual and physical. But the sensing is apparently rather similar since you are sensing the energy around you and in those who are near or faraway from you. Hell, I can even sense the small amount of magic that all muggles seem to possess.
Yes they do have magic, just not enough to use in spells or for it to manifest into accidental magic, there is just enough to keep them alive and healthy. There is even magic in plants, all of them, and while it was over whelming in the beginning, to not continually get a headache from sensing the constant flow of magic. I trained myself to the point where it is always on but it is muffled so it doesn't hurt.
Anyway back to me being alone with Professor Snape, yeah he is really bored right now by the feel of his magic I can even sense slight irritation. You don't even need to sense it really, if you can read the face and body language it is pretty obvious.
He actually isn't bad looking, this isn't weird because my mind is that of a 20 something year old, his hair is greasy but his face ain't half bad looking. His nose is rather long and slightly hooked but it's strong looking and if his face wasn't so gaunt and pale he would look fine hell, even handsome. His hair would look better if he took care of it more and maybe put it into a low ponytail and his body from the quick glimpse I saw of it was rather fit, lean and tall. So yeah, not bad but if he actually tried to do something about it he would be handsome.
But I understand, sort of, the greasy hair could be attributed to the potion fumes, the rather sickly pale skin would be due to staying in the dungeons making the potions, and the gaunt look of his face I would say unhealthy eating habits and maybe night terrors of the war.
'Ah, that really sucks to be plagued by something like that. I can't even handle watching horror movies, I wonder how i'll handle going through all this shit with Harry.' I sigh out loud and Professor Snape looks at me I look up to him and smile slightly at him but then quickly look back down and retreat into my mind. 'Oh well, it'll be interesting and a lot of work that's for sure, but worth it.' I smile to myself and look back up to find Professor Snape, Mama, and Pops all in the living room looking at me with varying degrees of exasperation.
Papa smiles to me, "Come on little dreamer we've got to go to the... " "Diagon Alley" "Right there to get your supplies." I look at him with a sheepish grin, "Ha ha ha, Sorry pops. Got lost in my thoughts for a second there." Mama giggles, "It's alright sugar but anyway we've got to go, Professor Snape is going to be our guide." I smile towards them, "Right. Let's go!" I pump my fist into the air and walk after them to get to the car.
We reach the Alley in about 30 minutes and go straight in after Pofessor Snape shows us where it is so that next year we can comeback ourselves.
We went into the Leaky Cauldron and Professor took us straight to the brick wall.
'This is it I finally get to see Diagon Alley in real life. Hell, I didn't even get to see it in my past life because of time and money.'
He explained to us the trick with the bricks, aha that rhymed,and then they parted.
It was beautiful. Truly Magical.
I was amazed by it. I truly was speechless, oh the buldings were great and even the things floating around were pretty awesome but, the overabundance of magic was what was truly overwhelming. It was just BAM really like the first time someone had left their rural life for the big city you are amzed by just the it , the atmosphere.
"Wow..." I let my amazement slip out verbally, my parents looked just as amazed, Professor clears his throat,"We are going to need to move from the entrace." We looked at him and nodded in almost perfect synchronization which I can tell kind of creeped him out. We walked to our first destination Gringott's, we went there to exchange our money.
While walking there I looked around but didn't gawk, what it's undignified, I tried to keep my amazement to myself but the magic, it was everywhere.
We reached the bank and father exchanged his pounds for galleons about 900 pounds were exchanged into about 183 galleons. My family and I weren't poor but we weren't filthy rich, in fact, pops is a neurosurgeon and earns about 391,375.20 pounds a year or 589,000 dollars.
After that we went to get our supplies first I had to go get my uniform fitted, and wasn't that weird, I never have to get stuff like that fitted I just buy them in stores that make them commercially. After that I went to go buy my supplies for school first the potion set and then the books and last but not least I went to get a owl. How cool was that I got to own an owl, I walked into Eeylop's Owl Emporium. I looked around while mama and pop's waited with Professor outside until I chose one. I walked around to see what they had, so many were there but one caught my eye in particular from what I could tell it was an ordinary barn owl, but it wasn't the species that caught my eye but the color of it's feathers and the look of it's eyes. It had this look that was rather cunning, I liked it. I walked towards the owl to see if it would like to come home with me, when I reached it, it stared at me. It's eyes held a look of understanding and it came closer towards me to let me touch it. I got him, I learned the gender of it after I bought it, I named him Loki. I walked out of the store satisfied with my new companion, "Hey, mama, pop's meet Loki isn't he so awesome!" they turned to look at me and the new addition. They smiled softly at Loki and I, i smiled widely back at them and we continued on, "I think that's everything on the list" I looked up from the list and they all looked at me with slight exasperation on their faces, papa put's his hand on my shoulder,"Sometimes you are the wisest 11 year old I have ever met, but sometimes you worry me with how obtuse you can be." I looked at him with a confused face and slightly irritated smile, "What do ya mean pop's?" mama giggles, "Sugar I think what your father is trying to say is that you forgot to get something." I look at her slightly bewildered then look towards Professor Snape and he's looking at me as if I did a paritcularly stupid thing. I look down and try to figure out what i had forgotten when I realize, "Oops, Ahaha I forgot to get my wand right." I looked up at them with a slight blush on my face and a sheepish smile. Snape looked as if he was about to facepalm and pop's actually did. After that we went to Ollivander's, as we got closer the amount of magic started to feel slightly overwhelming even going past the muffling barriers I put up, the magic it felt old, wild, untamed almost like a wild wolf on a hunt focused yet wild, powerful yet extremely cautioned.
We walked into the store. I was hit with an overwhelming feeling of old magic.
I stumbled slightly backwards and bumped into Professor Snape, he steadied me by the shoulder and looked down at me with slight worry tinging his magic. I look up to him and smile, "Sorry Professor, almost fell on top of you there." he gave me a slight nod to tell me it was okay. I walked deeper into the store and went to the counter to ring the little bell on the front desk, I as about to ring it when Ollivander suddenly appeared right in front of me. I was slightly surprised that an old man could move that fast, but otherwise kept my smile on my face, "Hello there I've comehere to get my wand." The man looked at me with a searching look and then agve me a nod, "Wand arm." I nodded and gained a serious look, I stretched out my right arm. He measured and went to go find the wand, he came back almost immediately with a few boxes, he gave me the first one, "Core of dragon heartstring the wood made of walnut, 12/34 inches. Unyeilding." I tried it out and the vase broke right after I gave it a swish. he took it away and gave me another just as I touched it, he took it away. It happened for a rather long time and I was getting worried i wouldn't find my own wand. "Hazel with dragon heartstring core 12 3/4 inches unyeilding" he handed it to me with a smile on his face, he was enjoying having a challenge to find a wand for me. I tool in a deep breath and took the wand.
Mine.
Blue and silver sparks pour out of it, the warmth of magic went through my entire body that made me feel safe. I had found it.
My Wand.
Ollivander started speaking, "Ah, Hazel absorbs the emotions its owner, and is best suited to one with good emotional control. It produces outstanding magic; and its devotion is legendary, as the wand often "wilts" upon the death of an owner. Hazel also has the unique ability to detect concealed springs and wells. And the core, Dragon heartstring, are noted for producing powerful magic and flamboyant spells. But they are temperamental, being more prone to wild flares of magic that cause accidents. These wands are the easiest of the Supreme Cores to turn to the Dark Arts."
I looked at him in amazement. I smile brightly at him, "Thank you so much for this." he smiles and then chuckles a little,"No worries little one."
"Oh right, How much is it?" he thinks for a moment "10 galleons." I give him the money and wave to him as I walk out."Your parent are waiting for you in your car i will walk you to them." I look at him with a bright smile and nod too excited.
"Hey Professor what do you teach?" he looks down at me, "I teach potions", "Really, what exactly do you do in potions." he continues looking foward and walking, "You will learn that when you come to Hogwarts." I pout slightly and sigh, "Fine, I guess i'll just read the text."
We reach where the car is parked and my parents are already inside, I turn to Professor Snape and smile softly at, "Thank You." he looks slightly bewildered at my gesture but then just nods and walks away.
When we reached home it was near nightfall. I had taken all my things to my room and had put them away and organized them into my trunk which had lightening charm and expansion charm put on it, to make it weightless and big on the inside and small on the outside. I had taken out my books so I could read them and review them before the school starts. 'I wonder if Harry is okay.' He had left today with the Dursley's to the light house, I couldn't even stop it. But it would change to much if I did, so I had to let him go, still it didn't mean I didn't feel like crap for letting them take him. 'he should be finte though Hagrid should be getting to him in a few hours,' i sigh and stand up from my desk and go to take a shower, 'Once I have wash I should be calmer'. Once I exited my shower I was slightly clearer headed, 'Okay time to go to sleep.' I open the window of my bedroom and open Loki's cage, "Hey big guy, make sure to come back okay." and let him fly out into the night to hunt prey.
"Only a month till it all begin's. *sigh* this'll be a story i most definitely will tell my grandchildren" I laugh a little and then go to sleep. My last thought before I fall asleep was,
'Well this will most certainly be a pain in the ass.'
Most definitely will it be worth it.
