Chapter Eight...

Diagon Alley...

The Morning started out like every other morning for Harry and Susan, but today they're going to get their wands. they woke up feeling amazing from last week, every morning, they start out snogging after waking up. "Good morning, my love." said Harry. getting out of bed naked as the day he was born. Susan opens her eyes not long after to see him putting on a pair of briefs and jeans.

"Good morning, My love." thought Susan. getting out of bed still naked under the sheet. she walks over to her dresser to sit down in a chair, she grabbed her hairbrush, and did her hair then put on a clean bra and knickers with a skirt.

Harry walked over to her and kissed her lips, then tried to tame his messy hairdo. while Susan put on a shirt and a headband.

As she was doing this, Harry put on a long sleeve shirt and walked out of the room, she got up and followed him down the stairs to go into the kitchen. They sit down while Millie placed plates on the table. "Hmm, Millie, can you tell us about the Phoenix Flame?" asked Susan.

Millie started telling them about the Bond and how to control it with touching, until they get to where it's complete. while she's explaining everything that she knows, Amelia and Andromeda walk into the kitchen with the journal and the letter from Susan's father. She hands Susan the letter and said. "Look at this. it'll explain everything that has been going on."

Susan looked at the letter and had a tear in her eye. then noticed the journal in Amelia's hand. "What's that about?"

"This is a journal that has notes between your mum and Harry's." said Amelia. "We'll go through these together, soon."

"your School list is here, you two." said Andromeda.

Harry unfolded a piece of paper he hadn't noticed on his birthday, and read:

After reading the list, Harry looked at Susan's list to see that it's the same. "What did you expect, Harry? my school list is the same as yours." Thought Susan. Harry looked at her and back to the list, then nodded.

"So, when do we head out?" asked Harry, handing Susan her list.

"Here in a moment, Eat first." said Amelia.

after finishing with their food, They get to the Fireplace and floo over to Diagon Alley, to get their supplies. Harry and Susan come out of the fireplace to see everyone staring at them. Amelia comes right behind them.

"Ah, Madam Bones, come to take your niece to get her school books?" asked Tom.

"Yes, her and Heir Potter are getting their books, Robes and wands." said Amelia.

Madam Malkin was waiting in her shop, as Harry and Susan walked in.

"Hello Dears, Hogwarts?" she asked.

"Mmm, yes, we're going to Hogwarts." said Harry.

"Well, come stand up on this stool, and I'll measure you." said Malkin.

As they stood on the stool, Harry stuck his tongue out at Susan to tease her. A boy was standing next to him.

"Hello," said the boy. "Hogwarts too?"

"Yes, we're going to Hogwarts." said Harry.

"My father's next door buying my books and Mother's up the street looking at wands." said the boy. "Ever fly a Broom?"

"Yes, i have actually." said Harry. "As a matter of fact i'm a good flyer. Still i don't like to show off."

"Ever play Quidditch at all?" asked the boy. Harry shook his head to indicate that he's never heard of Quidditch.

"All finished dearie. you can step down now." said Madam Malkin.

"Anyway where are your Parents?" asked the boy.

"They've been dead for ten years." said Harry. "But i'm living with my Aunt."

"Oh, Sorry," said the boy, not sounding sorry at all. "But they were our kind, weren't they?"

"They were a witch and Wizard, if that's what you mean."

"All done, you can step down now." said Makin.

As Harry stepped down and let Susan get fitted for her robes, the boy looked at the redhead and said, "You look familiar." Susan looked at him, arched her eyebrow and said, "And you're rude."

The Blonde boy bowed his head, and tried to apologize. But Susan wasn't having any of it. "Look, i know who you are. Because you just insulted the Heir of a Most Ancient and Noble House." she growled. The blonde boy looked back at Harry and said, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry won't cut it, now come on Harry. we've got more shopping to do." said Susan, taking his hand to lead him out the door.

As they left Madam Malkins, Susan took Harry to walk down the Alley. she looked at his facial expression. so they walked over to the ice cream parlor, and sat down.

"What's bothering you, Harry?" asked Susan.

"Nothing." Harry lied. They ordered two chocolate ice creams with nuts. as they ate, he said. "Susan, what's Quidditch?"

"It's our sport. Wizard sport. It's like- like soccer in the Muggle world, everyone follows Quidditch, played up in the air on broomsticks and there's four balls. But maybe auntie can explain it more than me." said Susan.

"And what are Slytherin and Hufflepuff?"

"School houses. Their's four houses." said Susan.

"Oh, I bet i'm in Hufflepuff." Harry muttered.

"Anyway, we still need to get our books and wands." said Susan. as she got up off the bench, She sees Amelia walking over to them.

"Is everything okay?" she asked.

"Yes, Auntie, but Harry needs more education on Wizarding Etiquette," said Susan turning to Harry kissing his cheek. "Oh there's Hannah!"

The girl in question walked over to them with her parents following from behind. "Susan! there you are." she said, as she ran over to them. "Who is this?"

Susan looked over at Harry and said "That's Harry. Harry, This is Hannah Abbott." Harry took her hand and shook it. as nervous as he was, he felt comfortable making friends. "Nice to meet you,Hannah." he said.

"Likewise, Harry." said Hannah. she turned to Susan, "Anyway, i'm excited for Hogwarts. i wonder what house we'll be in."

"Probably Gryffindor or Hufflepuff." said Susan.

"Well, i hope it's not Slytherin." said Hannah.

"I hope not." said Susan as the three of them walked to Ollivander's wand shop.

As they entered the wand shop.

"Ah, I wondered when I'd expect to see you here, Mr. Potter." said Ollivander, from behind the counter. "It feels like it was only yesterday that your mother and father purchased their first wand from me."

"Hmm, Mr. Ollivander, Auror Moody was supposed to be in here yesterday." said Amelia. "Did he give you the right measurements?"

"Of course, Madam Bones. Now Mr. Potter, let's see what wand will work for you." said Ollivander. "How about yew 11' inches with a phoenix feather."

Harry waved it, but it wasn't right for him.

"No! No! that's not it." said Ollivander. "Here try this, Maple and Phoenix feather, Seven inches, Quite whippy. Try-"

Harry tried, but he had hardly raised the wand when it too, was snatched back by Mr. Ollivander.

"No, no- here, ebony and unicorn hair, eight and a half inches, springy. Go on, go on, try it out."

Harry tried. and tried. He had no idea what Mr. Ollivander was waiting for. The pile of tried wands was mounting higher and higher on the spindly chair, but the more wands Mr. Ollivander pulled from the shelves, the happier he seemed to become.

"Tricky customer, eh? Not to worry, we'll find the perfect match here somewhere- I wonder, Now- yes, why not- unusual combination- eleven inches, Mahogany wood, with a phoenix tail feather. pliable and excellent for transfiguration."

Harry took the wand. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. He raised the wand above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls.

"Oh, bravo! Yes, indeed, oh, very good. Well, well, well... how curious... how very curious..."

"hmm, sorry, but what's curious?" asked Harry.

"Well, I remember every wand i ever sold, Mr. Potter. Every single wand. It's curious that you're destined for this wand when it's brother gave you that scar." said Ollivander. " the phoenix whose tail feather in your wand, also gave another feather.

"Hmm, thank you, Mr.Ollivander." said Harry. as he stepped away.

Susan walked over to the counter and did the same thing.

"Hmm, maybe..." said Ollivander. as he got to the shelf and pulled out a black wand box. "Oak, unicorn tail, 7 1/2", firm."

Susan swished down through the dusty air, and felt it warm into her hand. "Wow, this feels amazing." she thought.

"Hmm, curious, Simply curious..." said Ollivander. "Seems to me that wand is very similar to another wand that i've sold."

"What do you mean?" asked Susan.

"I can see a glow between the two of you," said Ollivander. "i'm starting to wonder if... no, it can't be."

"What is it?" asked Amelia. "You see something, don't you?"

"Yes, yes... it seems to me that they've got a bond." said Ollivander. "No, it can't be, there hasn't been one since 1945."

"So, you know about Bonds?" asked Susan. Mr. Ollivander nodded to her.

"But, this one seems to have been blocked by a mind block." said Ollivander.
