Andrew Rayes
Andrew opened his eyes, all he could see on his room walls were posters, posters of the three different Quidditch teams, he and his brothers went for.
One side of the room was covered in Black and white, the colour of the Montrose Magpie's, Andrew's team. One side was covered in green and yellow, the Kenmare Kestrels, Jarred, Andrew's eight year-old brother's, quidditch team. And the last side was covered in the blue and silver of Jake's team, the Appleby Arrows.
Andrew and his family were all mad quidditch players, every year they had a fierce rivalry to see who's team won the competition. His younger sister went for the Holyhead Harpies because it was an all girls team.
Andrew yawned and stretched out his arms before getting out of bed. He walked down the hallway of their small apartment to reach their kitchen.
"Morning Andrew," his mother said tiredly as he walked in. Lucy and Nikki, his six and four year-old sisters, were chasing each other around the table.
"Lucy, Nikki, please stop," his mother said to them, yawning loudly. Andrew knew his mother had trouble looking after six kids and running a Herbology Shop in Diagon Alley.
"Andrew, get ready then go help you father downstairs, we recieved a new shipment of plants." His mother said to him.
"Yes mum," he said in a bored tone, reaching over to grab a bowl of cereal.
"Are you going shopping today?" His ten year-old sister Georgia, asked.
"Probably." He replied, he still hadn't gotten round to getting his school supplies.
There was a loud knock on a window, Andrew rushed into his room and opened his window, his best friend Callum was leaning out of it. They were neighbours and because most of the shops and houses in Diagon Alley were squished together. They could talk from their different rooms.
"Hey Andrew, are you getting your supplies today?" Callum asked.
"Hang on, I'll ask my mum," Andrew replied. "Mum! Can I get my Hogwarts stuff today?" He shouted down the hallway.
"Sure," his mother replied.
Andrew crossed back to the window. "Yeah, do you want to go together?" He asked.
"Sure, I'll meet you outside Gringotts in an hour." Callum replied.
Andrew quickly got dressed and ready, he was excited to be getting his Hogwarts supplies.
"Andrew, can we come with you?" Two voices asked behind him, Andrew turned around to see his identical twin little brothers, Jarred and Jake.
"Fine," Andrew replied. He wouldn't admit it, but he really liked his brothers tagging along and they adored their older brother.
"Yes!" The twins said at the same time and rushed off to get ready.
They were the minutes late arriving at Gringotts, Andrew's parents had already given him money to get his supplies.
"You ready?" Callum asked as they arrived, "Where should we go first?" He asked.
"Why don't we get our school books," Andrew replied.
"But that's boring." Jarred complained.
"Well you shouldn't have come then." Andrew replied.
A while later they emerged from Flourish and Blotts, there arms full of books. "Let's go drop these off at our houses and then go and do something else." Callum said.
They walked back to the two shops side by side. The Herbology Shop and Quality Quiddicth Supplies, which Callum's parents owned. Andrew had always been jealous that Callum lived in a Quidditch shop, Andrew loved Quidditch.
"Where should we go now?" Andrew asked.
"Oh! Can we please go to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes?" Jake asked. Andrew grinned, that was his favourite shop in Diagon Alley, he loved playing pranks even more than he loved Quidditch.
"Sure, maybe Fred'll be there." Callum said.
They crossed the street to the shop, it was on a corner so it was one of the bigger shops. It was early in the morning so the shop wasn't very crowded. Andrew and Callum walked right in, they were frequent visitors of the shop.
"Hello boy, what can I do for you today?" George, one of their parents friends, asked.
"We're just here to look around, is Fred here?" Andrew asked, Fred was George's son and a second-year at Hogwarts.
"Yep. Fred! Callum and Andrew are here!" He called, looking up at the ceiling.
Fred rushed downstairs, he didn't look much like his father. He had brown hair and olive skin, not the red hair like his father.
"Hey guys, have you been shopping?" He asked as he arrived downstairs.
"Yeah, we got all our school books," Callum replied.
Fred rolled his eyes, "I bet that was heavy." He said. "So, what do you want to do?" Fred asked. Callum and Andrew shrugged, they didn't need to buy much else, Callum had two older brother he got hand-me-downs from and Andrew had a bajillion cousins who gave him clothes for Hogwarts.
"We need to get wands!" Callum said suddenly. Andrew wondered how he could have forgotten that, he'd been looking forward to getting a wand for years.
"Let's go!" Andrew said excitedly and the five of them ran out of the shop and down the street towards Ollivanders.
Inside it was empty, nobody seemed to be here.
"Where is he?" Callum asked.
"Don't worry, he'll appear out of nowhere soon," Fred replied, for some reason they were all whispering.
Fred was right, soon after, Ollivander appeared out of nowhere.
"Greetings, I assume that you are here to purchase wands for Hogwarts?" He asked.
Callum and Andrew nodded, Ollivander was seemed to be very mysterious. He was one of the only shopkeepers they didn't know in Diagon Alley, he seemed to never leave his shop.
"Hmmm, I'll be back." He said, disappearing into his heap of shelves of wands.
"Try these," he said as he returned. Handing a wand each to Callum and Andrew.
They waved their wands. Callum shouted excitedly as sparks flew out of his wand, but Andrew was disappointed. His wand had not done anything.
"Oh, well done. That wand is Phoenix feather and maple, 8 inches, very stiff." Ollivander said, handing Callum the wand.
Andrew tried another wand, hoping it would work. He was terrified that possibly, he was a squib. Luckily the next wand worked for him.
"Ah, that wand is dragon heartstring and yew, 12 inches, quite powerful." Ollivander said, raising an eyebrow at Andrew. Andrew was shocked that his wand was powerful, would that mean he would be good at magic?
"Remember, the wand chooses the wizard." Ollivander continued, not taking his eyes off Andrew. "That'll be seven galleons each." He said.
Callum and Andrew handed over the gold coins and left the shop, still in awe of Ollivander.
