From Lily's POV

I jolted awake. Today was the day! August eleventh! We were going to Diagon Alley today! Dad and Teddy had both taken time off today to be there. Today I would get my wand, my books, my robes my… "Lily!" My mum called startling me out of my thoughts. "Are you dressed? We have to go!" I ran to my dresser and pulled out a random t-shirt and some jeans. I ran downstairs where some oatmeal was waiting for me. I poured some honey and dried cranberries in and shoveled it into my mouth.

"Hey Lils, are you excited?" My eldest brother James asked as he ruffled my hair. "Very" I replied. Or that is at least what I tried to say, with my mouth full of oatmeal it came out more like "Vooery" than anything. He laughed as I swallowed. "Very" I corrected myself. My other brother came downstairs and asked the same question. My mouth was full again so I nodded vigorously.

After I had finished eating I mostly ran/jumped around the house excitedly. After everyone else had finished eating we lined up at the fireplace taking turns using the floo network. My father went first, then Teddy, James, Albus and then finally me. My mum turned to me and said "Do you want to give 'em a scare?" I nodded. Another thing that makes me and my mum Ginny Weasley Potter similar besides our looks is our love of pranks. "Alright" she said. "Instead of the normal fireplace in The Leaky Cauldron, go to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, scare George out of his wits too." "Okay, this will be funny" I agreed, "But if anyone asks it was your idea." "Fair enough"

I stepped into our fireplace and yelled "Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes!" as I threw down the powder. And like that I was off. I zoomed through the Floo network and out the fireplace, scaring Uncle George so much nearly jumped out of his skin.

"Why hello Lily,"

"Hi Uncle George"

"Nice of you to drop in, Where is the rest of your family?"

"Not coming, Mum wanted to give 'em a good scare and sent me here,"

"Ah, I should've known Ginny would be up to this."

We walked around the shop, talking and occasionally helping customers until my family walked in.

"LILY LUNA RUBY POTTER!" My father shouted, He used my middle name, I was in deep trouble. My family rushed in accompanied Ron, Hermione, Rose and Hugo. by Luckily there were no customers at the moment. He walked over and towered over me, my mum stood behind him trying not to laugh.

"You are very lucky you ended up here and that we found you quick enough" He said actually somewhat calmly. "You could have landed somewhere dangerous. Say where you want to go clearly next time" He still didn't know yet. I stood up straighter, looked him in the eye and said, "I did say where I wanted to go clearly" Uncle George sniggered. Everybody else looked confused. "You mean you wanted to come here?" "Yes, it was sort of, like a prank." I proudly replied. "Do you know how worried we all were?" He almost shouted. "Mom wasn't worried." I replied. "Of course she was" Aunt Hermione said. "No she wasn't, she knew I was here all along. It was her idea." Uncle Ron burst out laughing, so did Uncle George and my mother, as they couldn't hold it in any longer. Pretty soon everyone was laughing. "Well" said my father, "At least I know my child isn't a delinquent."

After we all calmed down we bid George goodbye, promising to come back later and went off. "Can we buy my wand first?" I asked. "Sure, you and dad go, me James, and albus will go look at the schoolbooks." my mom stated. We walked down to Ollivanders and went inside. "Who do we have here" a voice said. I could not seem to find the owner. "Ah Harry Potter and his daughter," a man with bug eyes and pasty skin said as he walked out of a shadow. "Who is the wand for?" he asked, probably jokingly "Me" I stated in a voice which I had thought was brave, but was really more of a squeak. "The youngest of the Potter clan, Lily Luna, We shall find you a wand." he climbed on a shelf and grabbed a box. "Alder Wood, with a dragon heartstring, 12 ¾ inches. Try it out." I took the wand and flicked my wrist. Nothing happened. "No problem, we will try another one."

It ended up to be a total of ten wands before I found my match. "Aspen wood with Phoenix Feather core, 12 ¾ inches, try this one." I took it in my hand and flicked my wrist (which was getting fairly tired),not expecting anything to happen but something did. A burst of light came out of the end and bounced around the room. Mr. Ollivander looked very surprised. "Curious thing, this is yes." "What do you mean is curious" I asked. "A wizard's wand is the most important thing he can have, an embodiment of his pride. When a wizard has committed a horrible act, mind you this hasn't happened for centuries, his wand gets taken apart and recycled. This shows deep disrespect towards the wizard and brings dishonor. This core, is the same core that was in He-" "Voldemort's wand" My dad interrupted. "Yes Voldemort's" Ollivander agreed.

"The Aspen wood also says a thing or two about it. It is the wood of an accomplished duelist or a destined one, attracted to quests and new orders, for revolutionaries. Even disregarding Voldemort, this is a wand for a very important person. Take care of it Lily Luna. Take care of it."

We payed and walked towards the door to leave. My father stopped. "Tell no one of this Ollivander." "I shall never. Wandmaker-Customer confidentiality." Once we got outside my dad crouched to my level and looked pretty shaken up. "Lily, never tell anyone this, you can tell them what your wand is made out of, but don't tell them the other thing. Not even your brothers." "Okay, Dad" We walked along, "Dad?" I asked, "Are you going to tell the Order?" "Yes" We walked on until we got to Madam Malkin's where we told mom we would meet up. Mom had already gotten the rest of my supplies. We went in and I got measured. We came out and eat lunch. Afterwards we went into the Owl Emporium to get an owl for me. I chose a Tawny Owl, and named her Alfie, short for Alfirinel. I already had a cat I was taking, a calico named Kit. Afterwards we went to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and I was given A Galleon to spend. I got some Extendable Ears, Nosebleed Nougats and some Puking Pastilles. I was tired and we went home quickly. We eat supper and then went to sleep.
