My Malfoy

Chapter 2: Diagon Ally

Father led me through the deserted path and into a museum looking building. Little creatures with pointy ears and sharp teeth sat at high desks writing away with quills and ink. They looked like the animals from the stories mother used to read me. "what are these little creatures father?" I asked timidly. "They are goblins y/n, smart and wise creatures. They own Gringotts bank. That's where
your galleons are kept" he replied. "Galleons? What are they?" I questioned. "Galleons are the currency in the wizarding world. We don't use pound coins like the muggles do" he said. "what are muggles?" I asked. "People who don't have the skill of magic" He said as we walked to the end of the building.

While father talked to the little goblin man I thought about what Hogwarts would look like. The bedrooms, The people, The teachers and all sorts of things. Father grabbed my arm and pulled me to a cart. The goblin got in and off we went past waterfalls and giant vaults. The cart stopped and the three of us stepped out. Father handed a key to the goblin and he opened a vault. The golden coins gleamed in my face. Piles on top of piles. "this is what your mother left for you...your a very lucky girl" father said. We collected the coins and headed out of the building. Father pointed to a shop "go to that shop and get a wand" he said. "but father, I have one!!" I replied. "yes but you need one that suits you, now chop chop! ill meet you back here in 2 hours". "alright" I said as I walked over to the shop named 'Olivanders'.

I walked nervously into the old beaten up shop. As i looked around I could see long thin boxes stacked on top of each other and browsing through them was a tall white haired man. He turned around and his wide eyes met mine. "Oh my! If it isn't Y/N" He said with a giddy voice. I walked closer to the desk he was perched behind and smiled a timid smile. "I've been waiting for your father to bring you here!" He said excitedly. He scurried off to the back and pulled out a box. I tried to peer around the corner to see where he had gone but he came running back. "Try this one! . Pine wood, 11 inches with a unicorn hair core" He said while handing me the wand. "give it a whirl then".

I swished the wand at the vase in the corner of the room and it shattered into pieces. "Nope, No! Definitely not!" He yanked the wand out of my hand and ran back around the corner. "Hmm maybe this one" He said as he walked back towards me. "Willow, 7 inches and a phoenix feather core" He handed me the wand and I swished it at the stack of books behind him and watched as they cluttered to the floor. "Nope. Not right" He grabbed the wand and went back out of sight. "Ah! I should have guessed!!" He came back with yet another wand and handed it to me "Cypress, 10 inches and dragon heartstring core. Very similar to your fathers" He explained. I swished the wand and a rush of warmth spread throughout my body as little confetti pieces fluttered out of the wand and fell to the ground in-front of me. The old man clapped in excitement. "That will be 14 Galleons!" He said. I handed him 14 shiny golden coins and walked out of the shop.

I sat on a small wooden bench next to the shop and waited for father. He came trotting back a while later with a snow-white owl, a stack of books and a huge cauldron. "So, what wand did you get?!" He said excitedly. "Umm if i remember correctly it's a Cypress, 10 inch dragon heartstring core" I replied. "I'm not surprised" he said with a smile spread across his face. "well we best get you to the kings cross! your train leaves in 1 hour!" He said and lead me out and back through the small pub and onto a train.

We got to the station and Father loaded all my things into a trunk and placed them onto a cart. "I'm sadly not going to be able to come to the platform with you but ik say my goodbyes here" He said glumly. "why's that father?" i asked. "no questions Y/n" He said sternly. "Yes Father, sorry" I replied. Father said good bye and kisses me on the cheek. "oh yes! to get to the platform you need to run into the wall between platform 9 and 10!" He said. I looked over at the two platforms "but father how-" i turned back around and he was gone. I felt stranded..
