Chapter 2: Into the World of Magic

A groan was heard then there were eyes blinking.

I stared at the cement ground before emitting another groan.

"Oh bloody hell." I moaned, feeling a headache that was slowly forming.

I then scrunched up my face as if I had tasted something horrible. Well actually, tiny rocks and dirt had entered in my mouth.

"Bleh!" I spat out the terrible substance, wiping the substance that had remained.

"Where the heck am I?" I muttered.

I squinted my eyes since the moment I looked up, the sun glared at me, making me to flinch from the light.

"Are you alright?" a voice that sounded annoyed and impatient drawled.

I grunted. "Go away."

"Ugh. I don't see why you're wasting you're time on her! She's probably just a filthy mudblood."

"A filthy mudblood?!" I screeched: this time, I was fully awake and turned on my heels sharply in order to see who was speaking.

Though, when I screeched, it made the other people to cringe.

Once I finished my full rotation, I stopped and had my eyes wide.

Oh you have got to be kidding, I thought, moaning mentally.

Of course, the first person in which I had to meet was the one and only...

Draco Malfoy.

Just my bloody luck.

I gave a dirty look to the pug-face person...why, yes. It was Pansy Parkinson-the character in which I hate with my guts!

"Why, hello dearie." I drawled.

Might as well have some fun while I'm at it, I mused.

Pansy just threw me an annoyed (and a dirty) look.

"Come on, Draco. She's not worth it."

I scowled while racking my brains for an comeback.

"You dare to speak to me like that?"

Once again, Pansy gave me an annoyed look.

"What? Are you someone special or something? Oh please, don't make me laugh."

"Why yes I am!" I snapped. "I'm a pure blood, if you must know. I belong to the Ekstom family."

Draco, or ah the pale blonde guy, had his eyes wide as if he recognized the name. Please don't tell me that he-

"Wait Ekstom? The famous rich pureblooded family?"

Shoot.

"Yeah...um that one..."

He suddenly frowned. "I never knew they had a daughter..."

Crap, crap, crap...

"Uhm...yeah...they don't like to talk a lot about me...something about being a disgrace to the family." I quickly said, recalling the many fanfictions with that background for characters.

"Ah."

Mentally, I made a smug look since Pansy didn't talked at all. Well, ever since I spoke that lie...

Which got me to think...where will the sorting hat put me?

"Sooo...I need to go...you know, buy stuff for Hogwarts." I replied hurriedly and began to waltz away...only to be stopped from him.

Really?!

"Oh you're going to Hogwarts too?"

I rolled my eyes. "No Mal-my...my...I decided to randomly go buy stuff for fun." I said, sarcastically.

I didn't think he was happy about it since he scowled.

"Come on, Malfoy! We gotta go to Diagon Alley!"

I eyed the third voice that shouted. It belonged to...ah crap.

Flint.

Malfoy threw an annoyed look (seriously, what's up with throwing annoyed looks?) to the guy.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. See you later." he grunted before finally walking away.

Freedom!

I turned to the opposite side only to realize that I had no idea where to go...

Sighing, I turned to the group that was somewhat far away from me.

Wait...didn't they said something about Diagon Alley?

I'm sooo gonna regret this.

"Hey um wait up!"

I panted, placing my hands on my knees so that I can try to catch my breath.

Never ever go with a group of Slytherin...even if you're lost. Its honestly your worst nightmare that came to life.

But on the other hand, I got to Diagon Alley without being lost or being tricked...

Actually, I lied.

Stupid Flint decided to have a little fun with me. He said that there was a shortcut and I of course believed him (since I was that gullible) and went through a patch of field (the path was covered with a lot of bushes so I didn't know what laid ahead)...only to fall into a river...

I swear I'll get him one day...

After I got my breath, I straighten up and waltzed out of my spot and grinned from ear to ear.

Welcome, Alex...to Diagon Alley!

I greeted myself mentally like how Hagrid had introduced to Harry for the first time.

Speaking about the boy...

I stood on my tip-toes, peering over the many heads that filled this place. I grinned after spotting a giant and I mean giant man with loads of bushy hair and a mustache that practically covered his face though I was still able to see his eyes.

Next to him was none other than...Harry Potter!

He was a scrawny little kid with messy jet black hair, round glasses and behind those glasses, it held his beautiful blue-green eyes.

I had always admired his eyes.

And of course, we can't forget the scar-the scar in which it had made him famous...

Well, actually he's famous because he finished Voldemort as a baby but you get my point...

I also observed that he hadn't got his Hedwig yet so that must mean that the two are probably (most likely) will be going to Ollivanders. Going with that, I hid myself in the crowd while peering over the heads every now and then to make sure that I hadn't lost them.

To be honest though, anyone would be able to see the giant man even if they're small or not.

We soon reached the place and I waited for a while until I was ready to come out of my hiding spot. When that time came, I trekked down the path that led to the place and entered in.

The bell rang throughout the room, signalling that a newcomer had come in. I stopped after I realized that Harry and Ollivander were still in here.

Um...hi?

Er...stay cool, Alex. Don't freak out because Harry is in here. Don't freak out-ah crap.

"Hey! You're Harry Potter!" I exclaimed.

"Oh that guy? Uh I mean yes that's me." he said, a bit awkward.

"Ah I suppose you're here to buy your wand?" Ollivander asked, breaking the silence that had settled upon us.

Thank you, Ollie.

I just nodded, unable to trust my words that would come out of my mouth.

"Now then. What is your wand hand?"

"Right."

He then started to measure all the things he needed before he finally decided to let me try the wands. Now I know how Harry felt when he had first got his wand...

It took about four bloody wands until on my fifth try, I had gotten it. It was blackthorn with Dragon heartstring.

"The wand always chooses the wizard." he would say. " It isn't always clear as to why."

I always loved that quote.

"That would be seven galleons, my dear."

I froze, mentally slapping myself for not having money. Shoot.

"Uhm-"

However, something gold was placed on Ollie's desk and I realized that it was the galleons. Eyes wide, I swiftly turned around to see Harry shrugging as if it wasn't a big deal.

"You..."

"Don't worry about it. And you don't have to pay me back." he said quickly.

"But-"

He just shook his head and motioned for me to go. I thanked Ollie before scurrying away in order to catch up with him.

"Hey Harry. Thanks," I said after we got out of the shop.

"It's no big deal. I still got loads."

"I know." I muttered.

"What's that?"

"Ah...um...Merci Beaucoup?"

He blinked, titling his head to the side in confusion.

"Um, thanks I meant." I said, awkwardly.

He just nodded. "Hey Hagrid!"

"Hello Harry! Finished your stuff?" a booming voice shouted down, literally making me to jump with startle.

"Yeah I did."

"Good. I got sumethin for ya." the giant showed Harry his first birthday present and it made his eyes to go wide with shock and surprised.

The giant held a cage and inside the cage was Hedwig! She was more beautiful in real life than in the movies. I stared in awe at her snowy white skin while her piercing eyes stared right back at me.

"Hagrid...you didn't have to." he insisted.

"Take it. It's your birthday today, isn't it? Well actually it was yesterday so here's your present. Happy Birthday, Harry."

"Take it, Harry. Trust me. You won't regret it." I said

After he had finally got defeated (sheesh, he's picky), he took the owl and thanked Hagrid non-stop.

"Oh hello there. I don't think we have met before. I'm Hagrid and this is Harry. I'm sure you knew that." Hagrid said, eyeing me for the first time.

"Pleasure to meet you." I greeted him, placing my hand into his large one.

"Say, you're going to Hogwarts too, right?" Harry suddenly asked, earning me to nod. "Where's your other things? Have you brought it already?"

I froze. Even though I knew the list off by heart, I had completely forgotten about it.

"Um no... This is ah my first thing that I have right now..." I said, sheepishly.

"Oh. I can come with you if you like." he offered.

Wait...I'm going shopping with Harry Potter? Sweet!

I nodded, graciously. "Thanks! I would like that!"

"And I would pay."

"What? No you won't!"

"Yes, I will!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"You haven't got any money! Well...as far as I know."

Damn. Why did he have to bring that up?

-Madame Malkins-

After that long argument, Harry had agreed to buy the stuff for me but I had also told him that I would pay everything back to him. Of course, he was being too noble and insisted that it wasn't nesecarry. But since we're talking about me, he finally gave in and reluctantly agreed that I would pay him back.

Which was why, as of right now, I was mentally calculating how much money I own him so far.

I waited for my turn since there was a person that was currently being measured.

"Funny meeting you here again. You didn't get lost, did you?"

I groaned, instantly knowing who that voice belonged to.

I whirled around to see Malfoy leaning against the wall, lazily with his arms being crossed over his chest.

"Aren't you snobby?" I sneered.

Even though, he's my favorite character, he's right down real prat.

He rolled his eyes. "I'm not. I was just simply worried that you might've gotten lost since you lack of direction."

I scowled. "Excuse me."

"I see that you have got your wand." he observed my pocket.

I pulled down my shirt to cover it even though it was useless already.

"Your point?"

He shrugged. "Felt like pointing it out. What is it?"

"Huh?"

He gave me an exasperated look. "Honestly, if you're going to Hogwarts, you have to know what your wand is. Now, what is the type?" he put it bluntly.

"Oh. Uh blackthorn with dragon heartstring." I answered.

"Not bad."

"And I suppose your's isn't?"

He smirked. "Nope. By the way, I don't think we have been introduced here."

I snorted, waving my hand. "Oh please. You don't need to." I grunted. "I don't have time for pricks."

He scowled.

"Next!" the sewer barked.

"Bye." I stated before walking towards the lady who asked me questions and measured me.

"So we just need a pet for you." Harry muttered, reading the list.

We have gotten everything except for the pet. I honestly don't know what to buy for a pet. A cat or an owl or something...

I'm actually leaning towards the owl but there's Harry's owl. I can just borrow his if I ever need to write but the high chances of me writing to someone is unlikely...

"Hmm maybe a cat or something." I responded, gazing at the Magical Menagerie.

We entered the shop and the first thing that greeted me was the...horrible smell. Ugh, I get that it's a pet shop but couldn't they try and control the smell? No? Okay...

I gazed around the shop, trying to find the perfect animal that could be my pet. To be honest, I always felt awkward and weird whenever I say the word pet. Like, it just doesn't fit right, you know?

For example, when you buy a pet, it's like a part of you...like it's a part of your family...

"Seen anything?" Harry asked, joining me sometime later.

My eyes scanned around the place for a few short minutes until, they had landed on a black cat. My eyes soften at it and I knew that it was the one.

"That one." I replied, gazing at the black cat that was staring at me with an intense gaze.

The owner of the shop came along after we called her and she got the cat I wanted.

"9 galleons." she told us.

And Harry had paid.

I still feel gulity...

I need to go and get a job if I am going to pay him back...hmm...maybe I can get a job at the Fred's shop even though it's not out yet...Damn.

And so, the shopping trip continued for the rest of day...it only ended when I had gotten everything.

A/N: So, Alex had met Harry Potter! And of course, Hagrid. But things didn't work quite well when she had first met Draco. Also, Alex still has to pay Harry back somehow...more things happen in the next chapter! R&R!
