Chapter 5

Annaleise's POV

I am out the castle, in Diagon Alley, about to get my school things, WOW! I feel like screaming and jumping and going hypo all at once, it's an awesome feeling. Professor McGonagall then took my hand and pulled me towards the little, quaint village.

One thought whizzed through my head. Wow. The village looked old, but beautiful. All the buildings and the ground had snow on top, even though it is the middle of summer. I looked around, and everyone was staring at me. WTF? I looked at Prof. McGonagall questioningly. She just replied with a confused look. I huddled in my green sweater that was a shade darker than my eyes, this was going to be fun, note the sarcasm.

My auburn hair blew in my face as we made our way to a robe store... Madam Malkins, I think it is called. We walked into the shop, which had robes of every colour you could think of, and the lady walked over to us, "Hello, my name is Madam Malkin, and I will help you find your robes, sweetie" She said me.  Madam Malkin the whispered something in Prof. McGonagalls ear, I caught the words 'sister', 'lily', 'potter' and 'dead', which made about as much sense as dragon's dung.  I waited in the corner of the bright shop patiently until their conversation finshed and the lady handed me a heap of robes with the Hogwarts crest on the front.

After an hour, I had bought and paid for all my robes with the last of my money, so we decided to go to Gringotts Wizarding Bank. To be honest, it wasn't my most favourite place in the world, as the Goblins always looked scary to me, so I stuck close to Prof. McGonagall until I got out to fetch a bag of gold, silver and bronze coloured coins. I know the names of the coins, but I just can't remember them. I happily hopped in the fast, unsafe cart to go back to the entrance to finish our shopping. I closed my eyes once again, imagining I was safely on my feet, as the cart sped off down the tunnels of Gringotts.

When I saw sunlight through my eyelids, I opened my eyes and got out the cart unsteadily. Me and Prof. McGonagall giggled stupidly because we both couldn't stand still or upright yet, so we were stumbling down the huge Gringotts hall. Passers-by grinned at me when I looked up at them, but the Goblins just looked down on me with disgust, kinda reminding me of Professor Snape. When we reached the exit/entrance, me and Prof. McGonagall straighted up, shared a large grin and stepped back out into the crowded Diagon Alley.

"I was thinking Anna.." Prof. McGonagall began. "Uh oh" I replied cheekily with a sly grin. She grinnned back at me before continuing her sentence "I was thinking that, if you would like, you could call me Auntie Minerva, instead of Professor, as I love you like my own" I was shocked, truely shell-shocked, but I replied with a happy "Ok Auntie Minerva!" and grabbed her hand. After half an hour of gathering cauldrons, quills and other necessary items for first years, we came to the last thing on the list, a wand.

We walked in silence to Olliviander's Wand Shop on the corner of the street. Luckily, the shop was completely empty so I don't have to wait in a line. At the entrance, Auntie Minerva told me to get a wand and meet her at the icecream shop in 15 minutes, sharp. I quickly agreed and skipped inside the dusty shop, the door's bell ringing as I pushed the door open. Nobody was there. I called out "Hello?" until a man with messy white hair and bright grey eyes walzed around the corner, carrying many boxes. He looked at me for a second a said "Hello Miss James, I mean Snape, I've been expecting you" in a mysterious voice. I studied him curiously until he went round the corner again, bringing out a pure white box, which stood out from all the brown boxes dramitically. He took out a exquisitely beautiful wand which was a pale brown, almost white, with rubies along the far end of the wand. I was speechless. He then told me "I wonder if this wand will be yours? After all the wand chooses the wizard.. Go on! Give it a wave!" He said, handing me the wand. I flicked it with my wrist and a pure white light flooded the room, blowing my hair upwards and sending a streak of light to surround me, curling around me like a pet snake. I watched in wonder, too amazed to say anything. Mr Olliviander took the wand from me when the light started to fade and placed it back in it's box. "That's definately yours" He muttered, along with other things I didn't hear. I payed for my wand and walked to the icecream shop.

 I found Auntie Minerva and told her about my wand, getting it out to show her. When Auntie Minerva went to buy some magical icecream, I saw.. well... a giant! He was walking along, his overgrown beard hanging to his chest and a thick pile of long, matted hair sitting on his shoulders. His wide, burly body must have been the size of a small car! Next to him was a boy around my age. He had green eyes like mine and messy black hair with a lightning bolt shaped scar just showing under his hair. He looked so excited I nearly smiled. I saw him look at me curiously, oh bum! He saw me looking at him! I shyly looked away until he disappeared in the crowd. He looks kinda like me... Where have I seen him before? I tried to think back to where I'd seen him, but at that moment Auntie Minerva come back with 2 icecreams the size of Jupiter! I tucked into my icecream until I couldn't eat anymore, and when I was finished, it vanished into thin air with a popping noise. I patted my stomach gingerly, wow... Food Baby! I laughed at my joke and Auntie Minerva gave me a curious look, as she had been finished over 10 minutes ago. I got up off my comfortable seat, along with Auntie Minerva, and we headed back through the shops to a fireplace. I took a handful of Floo Powder, along with Auntie Minerva, and we stepped into seperate fires, shouted "Hogwarts" and I took a deep breath before I felt like I was being pulled through a blizzard of ash. I felt my feet land on solid ground and my knees buckled beneath me. I was home!

I ran to my room before collapsing on my bed. What a day! With a pop, all my shopping landed next to my desk. OMFG, I START HOGWARTS TOMORROW! I sat up straight and watched as Harley and 2 other house-elves put my things in my wardrobe and cupboards. "Thanks" I smiled at them, before eyeing the cupboard where my bedclothes lay. I decided that I was too tired to change into my Pyjamas. Tired.. or lazy, I chucked before laying down and thinking about school. All those years of being teased by the older students, now I will be joining them. I smiled before rolling on my side and pulling the covers over me and letting sleep take me.
