The next day Harry and AJ found out about Diagon Alley. They soon arrived at the Leakey Caldron.
"Why are we here?" Harry asked. "Yeah?" AJ agreed.
"Just wait." Hagrid said as they walked out the back door. "This is why we're here." He tapped a few bricks on the wall and then stood back. The bricks on the wall started to shift revealing a large market place crowded with people. "This is Diagon Alley!"
"Wow." Said Harry. "There's so manny people!" AJ squealed being her normal optimistic self.
"Well what's the first thing on the list?" Hagrid asked. "Oh, uh. It says three sets of plain work robes (black)." AJ answered. "Well off to Madam Malkins!"
"There is is Harry." AJ said. "Ollivanders." The two were standing in front of Ollivanders, makers of fine wands since 382 B.C. "Let's go in!" She said, rushing through the door. Unknown to AJ another girl was on the other side. WHAM! The two girls collided falling to the floor.
"Hey watch where your going." The girl groaned. "I am so sorry, are you okay?" AJ asked. "Yeah I'm fine. My names Rose, by the way. Rose McGonagall."
"Hey are you related to Minerva McGonagall?" Harry asked.
"Yeah." Rose said as she got up. "She's my grandm-" she stopped talking when she saw Harry. "I, uh, I have to go!" She said quickly picking up her books leaving.
"What was that all about?" Harry asked his sister. "You'll find out!"
"Magical Menagerie!" AJ screamed. She rushed inside, careful not to run into someone, with Harry right behind her. Every inch of every wall was covered with cages of animals from small orange snails to a giant jewel encrusted tortoise. "I'm thinking of getting an owl, how about you AJ?" Harry asked but it was too late. AJ had already found a small black and white, blue eyed Siamese kitten cradled in her arms. Harry sighed. "What are you going to name it?" He asked. "I don't know." She answered.
"Excuse me, how much is this kitten?" Harry asked the lady at the counter. "Eleven galleons!"
"We'll take it!"
