The Girl from the Streets

McG

The Time had passed, and I was just about to go home when a Stern looking Woman appeared in the middle of our Classroom out of nowhere. "Good day, Kelly, is it? My Name is Minerva McGonagall, and I am the deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts. I am here to take you to Diagon Alley, the Leaky Cauldron to be precise were you will work and as payback they will give you free Food, a Bedroom and enough Money to buy your Hogwarts supplies plus some more for clothes and stuff like that. Of course, we would be more than happy to buy this for you but Children that come out of an Environment like you have been known to react very insulted to that." I just starred at the Strange Woman, contemplating if she was joking, mad or is indeed I was mad. "So.... You pop up in my school, tell me Magic is real and expect me to come with you, a complete Stranger, because why again?" She gave me a look, that I could not quite place, it was something between approval and annoyance. She huffed, pulled out a stick and pointed it at a Chair. To my immense surprise it started floating, she lowered it down again and put the Stick- or was it a Wand!?- back into her cloak. "Prove enough?" "For now, Ma-am" "Good, so how about you home and collect the rest of your stuff? I then will apparition you to the Leaky Cauldron were you can start working and on the last day of the Holidays-the 31 August- I will help you collect all your supplies." I just nodded weakly and went home. Half an hour later I was back with all of my stuff, and she offered me her Hand which I reluctantly took. Immediately a horrible feeling came over me like I was pressed into a small tube, when it stopped a feeling of nausea came over me and I staggered a few steps bevor I managed to get my act together again. I took in my surroundings, a rundown pub with loads of strange people. "Ah, you must be Kelly, your job will be serving the customers." I nodded and gave McG as I had decided to call her a last nod which she returned and left. "I will show you your Room where you can put your stuff and then start working tomorrow, 12 Sickles a day. To get all your supplied you will be needing 20 Galleons which is the amount of about 27 Day of work, and you have 33 so that means you will have enough for some new clothes too. Sundays are of. I would spend them y going around writing down how much what costs and writing down for what stuff you have enough Money. There is a nice second-hand shop where you can get most of your stuff second hand so it will cost even less and then you will also have enough for some background reading books to." All of this was told me by an old man while bringing me to a pretty run down room but still much better than my old home. "I'm Tom by the way" he said. "Nice to meet you Tom, and thanks for all those tips I think this will be exactly what I'll do. But I still have some Muggle Money too you don't know where I could change that to wizardry Money? How does Wizardry Money work?" "Well, you have Knut's, there little bronze ones. 29 Knut's are 1 Sickle, and 16 sickles are 1 Galleon. You can change your Money in Gringotts a big Marble Building at the end of Diagon Alley you can't miss it." "Thanks Tom." I said smiling as I started unpacking my Stuff, I put the water away as I gathered, I won't be needing it anytime soon. When I had finished it took out my Money and counted it 5 Pounds in total. As I made my way down Diagon Alley my Mouth was agape all the time and I wished I had about eight more eyes to take in all of my surroundings. Just as Tom had said there was a large Marble building at the end of the Street. Going inside I saw a strange creature that bowed to me, not wanting to be impolite I bowed back and walked in. Inside even more of the strange creatures were working on desks, one of those desks had a sign which said; "Muggle Money to Galleons." I went there and put my 5 Pounds on the desk. The thing eyed me carefully before testing the Money for faults, then he said, "That is One Galleon for you" And handed me a piece of Gold with lots of Numbers engraved into it. I thanked him and made my way back to the leaky Cauldron, then I put my Money securely away and for the second time going down into Diagon Alley but this time much more slowly. Taking in my Surroundings and looking into the Windows of every single shop.

After a long Day with a lot of surprises I went back into the Leaky Cauldron and got a nice warm Meal which was pretty crazy as I got that about once a year. Afterwards I went into my Room looking the Door, lying down into my extremely comfy bed and immediately falling asleep.
