As I walked out of Cindell's, I looked right and left, trying to figure out where to go. At random I choose to go left because, well, I don't know why. Walking down the alley, I saw a store with books in the window, called gravitational pull. You could tell the books were slightly worn, but in good shape. Just my kind of place.
I walked into the store and saw shelf's upon shelf's of books. This place is like heaven, I thought to myself. I walked further into the store and started looking at the titles, and picking up ones that seemed interesting.
Throughout the time I was picking out books and putting them into a pile, a woman was watching me. She looked about twenty-five, and had stormy grey eyes. Her hair, down to her waist, was a pretty dark red, and she had an angular face. I could tell she was surprised to see a eleven year old getting books that most adults wouldn't get, but I didn't care.
After about an hour in the shop, I start carting up the books to the desk, and let me tell you, there were a lot of them. So many, in fact, I had to take ten trips to get them all. As I was getting wrung up, the woman asked, "So dear, what would you need all of these books for?" I could tell she was genuinely curious so I answered.
"Well, ma'am, I love to read." At that she smiled," I just thought the more books I got, the more I had to learn. I really like to learn."
"Well, Its good to learn. Not even most Ravenclaw students go this far. So, this'll cost you 56 galleons for all of this." I nod and start to count out how much I needed from my bag, and took out my trunk and wand. Tapping my wand on the case, I thought about the library feature, and sure enough it turned into a trap door to walk into a giant library.
I start carrying the books into the room, as only I could go in, something to do with only my magical signature could get into it or something. Soon, I finished putting away my books and head out of the shop.
After another hour of shopping, getting nothing, I head out of Knockturn alley and go onto Diagon Alley. There, I look for some sort of food shop, since I hadn't had breakfast... Nor dinner the night before. I look around and see a place called Three Broomsticks, and make my way there.
Inside was crowded and warm, if a bit smokey. I walk over to an empty space at the bar, and got the attention of the tender. "Well, hello there little lass, what can I get for you?" He asked me.
"Well... um... I guess I'll just have the special." I tell him since I didn't know what they served.
"What would you like to drink with that?"
"Whatever's fine" I tell him
"Well, how about some butter beer?" When he sees my confusion he clarify's," It's not actual beer. Its just named like that." With that he walks off to get my butter beer and the special.
"Sir, before I leave, could you tell me where the travel agency is?"
"Oh, that is just a few shops down. TerrorTours is the name." He tells me.
I smile at him gratefully and say thank you and walked out. I walked street, and saw the shop that the bar tender told me about. Inside was just a regular looking office-like space, but with no computer. Behind the desk is a man around forty years old. He had graying hair, and laugh lines around his eyes.
"Umm... Hello sir, I'm here to pick up a reservation." I told him.
"What name will be it be under lassie?" He asked me.
"Lily Evens."
"Hmm... Let me go see If I can find it for you." He tells me and goes into the back room. A few minutes later I heard a crash, and then an "AHA! I found it!" A few more minutes later the store clerk came out with a pen. "Okay so, this portkey works by you just clicking the top, and you'll get to where it's keyed. You can use it anywhere and has unlimited uses. It was already paid for, so don't worry about money." He tells me as he hand me the pen.
"Well... Thank you, I'l just be going." And with that I click the pen and found my self hurtling through a void like place. Finally, at last, I landed in a heap in front of a house. It took all my will, but I got up slowly, as to not get sick, and walk over to the door.
After knocking on the door, I waited patiently. After a few minutes, a beautiful red-head answered the door, "can I help you?" she asks with cold indifference.
"Umm... Hi, my mom told me to come to you." I say biting my lip.
"Wait... are you Lily's daughter?"
So there you go! fourth chapter is now out. Sorry about any mistakes made, I literally just wrote it before posting it. Now onto a few other matters. I forgot to mention this before, but thank you to all those who have reviewed, favorited, followed, or added this story to your community. One person I'd like to thank specifically is ptl4ever419 for pointing out my error of spelling angel. Also if you've noticed the third chapter's name changed. That is because I was being stupid at the time, and just realized it should be knockturn alley and not diagon alley.
Always be awesome,
