Now it's time for robes! I thought to myself making my way over to Madam Malkin's with Snape. When I entered I changed into actual appearance except for making my hair black and my eyes purple, Snape insisted. I also had to hide the scar on my forehead. When I was done changing my appearance I looked like this.

A second after I was done a middle aged woman hurried over to me and started taking my measurements

A second after I was done a middle aged woman hurried over to me and started taking my measurements.

"Hello dear, what do you need today?" She asked in a kind voice.

I smiled, "I need a new wardrobe of clothes. All of mine are too small."

She gave me a reassuring smile, "not to worry dear. I'll just put charms on all of the clothes you buy so they will grow with you. But, it will cost more."

"Thank you. Money isn't a problem." I said shyly.

I got clothes that went from casual to complete over the top ball gowns. Yeah, I know I got too much stuff, but Madam Malkin's insisted when she realized I only had the dress I was wearing and few other clothes from the bank. I also got sneakers, heels, and flats.

Anyway, I thanked Madam Malkin and put away all the clothes and shoes. Walking out of the store I changed back to how looked before entering and grabbed Snape's hand. Next stop Magical Menagerie.

I entered the store and nearly got knocked off my feet when a huge owl came up to me and landed on my shoulder. She then looked at everyone around her, daring them to get her to move.

She was beautiful, after regaining my balance I asked, "hello there, would you like to be my owl?"

She was beautiful, after regaining my balance I asked, "hello there, would you like to be my owl?"

She puffed up her chest in a way that said, 'why else do you think I'm here?"

I smiled and walked up to employee at the desk, "I would like this owl and everything she will need." I said calmly.

The employee nodded, "that will be 15 galleons, another ten if you want food, a cage, and a perch." He said sleepily.

"I'll take the food, cage, and perch," I replied.

"Alright, wait here a moment and I'll get your items," he said lazily standing up and walking away.

I put the correct amount of money on the desk as he went to grab what I needed from the back of the store. When I was done I looked at the beautiful owl, "I think I will name you Athena. Do you like it?" I asked shyly, she hooted her agreement making me smile happily.

A few minutes later he returned, "here you are." He said handing me my stuff before sitting back down and putting away the money.

"Thank you," I said before putting the perch and food inside my trunk. I turned to my new owl and opened the cage saying, "do you mind staying in here for a bit, Athena? I'll let you out when we get back to the house."

She nodded and reluctantly went inside, I closed the cage before gently putting her into my trunk. When I was done I picked up the trunk and left.

All that's needed now is a wand. Snape said that because I have way more magic then most people my age a wand will help me release my excess magic safely and not harmfully. So we made our way to Ollivanders.

The shop was quite dim. But I walked up to to the desk and rang the bell. "Hello there, I wondered when I'd be seeing you Mrs. Potter though you are here a bit early," said Ollivander mistily. He literally appeared out of nowhere!

I nodded, "yes I have too much magic and need a way to safely channel it. Mr. Snape thought I should get my wand early," I replied.

"Alright, let's start with the woods," he said taking out a box. "Now place your hand over this box and flare out your magic. All the woods that go into your hand will be used in your wand"

I nodded before following her instructions. When I flared my magic about a dozen types of wood soared into my hand. Ugh, talk about going overboard.

He looked shocked and giddy while he reached for the woods in my hand.

"You have Elder, Rowan, Acacia, Alder, Aspen, Beech, Blackthorn, Cherry, Ebony, Fir, Hawthorn, Redwood, Red Oak, Pine, Holly, and Pear. Well, this will be an interesting wand to make. Now we will do the liquid cores." He said taking out out another box.

Repeating the process I felt a few jars fly into my hand.

He took them from me, "let's see Boomslang Venom, Unicorn Blood, Basilisk Venom, Dragon Blood, Werewolf Saliva, and Phoenix Tears. They perfectly balance each other other out, this will be quite a powerful wand indeed." He said happily, "Now for the solid cores," and so, he took out the third box.

Nooooo! Why does my wand need so many overpowered ingredients!

I repeated the process the process for the last time and felt a dozen or so cores in my hand.

"Hmm, we have Thestral Hair, Phoenix Feather, Werewolf Fang, Dragon Heartstring, Basilisk Horn, Veela Hair, Thunderbird Tail Feather, Augurey Tail Feather, Mermaid Scale, Basilisk Skin, Chimera Scale Fragment, Demiguise Hair, Doxy Wings, Fairy Wings, Hippogriff Feather, and Mermaid hair. Alright, this wand will be done in an hour." He said.

I have no words to say on the matter of my wand.

Sighing I nodded, "do you mind if I wait here? I'll be inside my trunk if you need me. I'll just go tell Mr. Snape."

He agreed and began working on making my wand.

I went out of the shop, "the wand will be done in an hour. Can I spend it in my trunk?" I asked Snape.

"That is fine just come back after the hour is up," he replied.

I quickly went back inside the shop and into my trunk I saw all of the stuff I had bought and Athena on the front porch, I smiled at her. Putting a hand through the cage opening I petted her and gave her a treat, she hooted her thanks before eating the offered treat.

While she was munching away I grabbed a book on potions for beginners and started reading. After all, if I want to help Remus I have to know anything and everything about the subject. And with that thought in mind I started to read.
