I am typing this on the same day as the last chapter so I hope that this chapter will be up the same day we will see though. Especially since I'm using a better system to type (Thanks BunnyRabbit313!) So on with the story!
Disclaimer: You think I'm J. ? I laugh at you.
Lily was staring out the window of the car like she had been doing for the last hour and a half. Her parents were driving her to Diagon Alley two days before before term started and they were about 5 minutes away. Lily yawned and stretched before glancing at the empty seat beside with regret. Petunia had refused to come along because she insisted it was unnatural and she had plans anyways. Severus couldn't come along either because he already had all his things and his parents were fighting again.
"Alright we're here!" her mother exclaimed. Lily got out of the car and her eyes were immediately drawn the gruby Leaky Cauldron door. "So where is this door, Lily?" Her parents eyes kept going directly over it without seeing it. Lily said "That's why you have me!" Lily took both of her parents hands in hers and pulled them through the door.
As soon as they were through the door Lily dropped her parents hands. Mr. and Mrs. Evans looked around with awe and said "Wow I can't I didn't see this before!" in many aspects until Lily pulled them out of the pub into the street filled with many, crazy different shops. They all stood shocked until Lily finally recovered enough to start walking down the street towards the bank so that her parents had to follow her.
When she walked in the marble bank she gasped. Goblins she thought as she walked past them. Lily strode up to one of the goblins behind the desk and asked to start a vault to put money in. Lily also asked to trade in some muggle money for some wizarding coins. The goblin gave her the wizarding coins and a key to her new vault. Lily thanked the goblin and returned to her parents who were watching with keen eyes. "Well now that I have money and understand how the conversions work let's get all the stuff on my list."
First Lily and her parents went to Madam Malkin's to get robes, gloves and a black hat. After she paid for her things there they went to Apothecary to get all of her potion supplies. Lily was quite glad to leave that shop as the smells were quite unpleasant. They went to Eeylops Owl Emporium where they got an owl named Spark, she was a very light brown and had a white chest, and all the other stuff that went with getting an owl. Finally what Lily had been waiting for the whole trip had come; the book shop called Flourish and Blotts. When she stepped the door she finally knew that the magical world was for her. She was surrounded by so many books about it that she was now convinced that it was the right thing to do. Lily spent more time in that store than any other and when she left it was only because it was getting later and she still needed her wand.
When Lily walked into Ollivanders shop feeling excited and slightly nervous as no one appeared to be in the store. "Hello?" she called her nervousness increasing even more. "Ah hello! I do not recognize you, you are muggleborn?" It was both not a question and one at the same time. "Yes I am muggleborn" Lily said her voice gaining back confidence. "And my name is Lily, Lily Evans." Ollivander said something to his tape measure and it began measuring Lily. "What is your wand arm?" Ollivander asked. Lily assumed it was the same as handedness and replied "Right." Ollivander then stepped closer to Lily and said "No two Ollivander wands are the same just like powerful substances as the core are never quite the same. Same with the wood. The wand will always chose the wizard remember that." Lily watched as Mr. Ollivander pull down about 5 or 6 boxes of wands and had her try all of them until one was suddenly warm in her hand and made Mr. Ollivanders quills dance in a circle. "Brilliant Ms. Evans! This wand is just right for charms and ten and a quarter long, swishy and made of willow!" Lily looked at the wand in her hand fondly until she put it back in the box, paid for it and left the shop.
"How was your first excursion into the magical world?" her dad asked as they were driving away in the car. "Perfect" Lily replied with a smile still on her face as she reflected on the day's events.
Thanks to Vannessa Fangirl for reviewing and giving me a tip on how to write better. Always appreciated!
