I fell on the floor face first and broke my glasses.
"Oh no, mum's going to kill me!" I start to panic.Just then my dad comes in.
"I see you broke your glasses there son," he said,chuckling.He waves his wand and my glasses are fixed.
"I really need to remember that spell," I mutter.
"Come on, let's go to Diagon Alley!" my dad exclaims, sounding like a little kid.I roll my eyes at him. I pull out my list of supplies for school.

Darn it.I really wanted to bring my broom.
"Wow," I said, in awe.
"Come on we need to go to the bank," my dad said pulling me along.I am always amazed by Diagon Alley, even though I lived here my whole life!
" James, be a dear-" my dad started to say.
"Dad I can only become a deer if I'm an animagis," I said jokingly.
"That's not what I meant."
"Whatever," I say looking up at my favorite poem.
Enter,stranger,but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
We march right up to the head, or rather looked like the head, goblin.
"I would like to make a withdrawal from the trust vault." My dad pulled out a key.

I walk into Ollivanders' wand shop. It's a little dusty in here.
"Ah, Charles. Pear, 11 1/2 inches, dragon heart string,flexible, and good for Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Yes," my dad said smiling.Ollivander smiled and took a tape measure out.
"Hold out your wand arm." I held out my right hand.
"Well, let see here, willow, 10 inches,flexible, and dragon heart string-" I waved it around.The vase crashed.I set the wand down gently.
"No, that won't do.Ah, yes mahogany,11 inches,pliable, and dragon heart string." Ollivander looked excited.
I felt warmth in my fingers.Red and gold sparks shot out." YES! THIS IS MY WAND!" I shouted excited.
"That would be seven galleons." My dad paid and we left.
"Time to go home, son." I grabbed some Floo powder and threw it in.
"Potter Cave!" I shouted. Time to go home.
