12:30 pm.

The rest of the train ride was spent In a horrible silence, and I was more than relieved when we finally got off...I was finally able to walk and stretch my legs while we waited on the platform.

Potter was reorganizing his things, and I was fixing my hair. J couldn't go out with it a mess, so I spent the thirty minimum on the platform with a mirror, comb, and gell. Potter cringed when I told him to 'give me a damn minute' because I couldn't get it right.

"We are wasting time!" He yelled at me, and I cringed, finally putting everything away. I couldn't deal with his obsessive nagging. It was annoying, and for a moment, I thought I would be the one to kill Harry Potter today.

"Right right. I'm coming. let's go before you give yourself an aneurysm." I scoffed. He led me off of the platform and into the station, and he guided me out and into the streets, which were crowded and filled with Maggie cars and bikes...People walked everywhere, and no one seemed to have any sence of manners when it came to crossing with others.

Potter had to grab my wrist and pull me through the dence crowds, leading me to The Leaky Calderon- then into Diagon Alley. He said there was a place where we could exchange the coins we had for pounds- which was the type of money they used in London. Since I was here, I assumed I would be paying for mostly everything since Potter didn't have the funds to match mine...But, in the end, we both god about the same amount.

It felt like we were rushing. we arrived at Diagon, then left just as soon. I was pulled through the city, across the streets, into alley ways, down staircases, and into buildings until we reached a calmer, colder part of the city. According to Potter, it was where most food shops and grocery centers were, but we had no need for that. Potter was looking for the place he mentioned earlier, where you paid a large sum and they took you to do things you wouldn't be able to do while you were still alive in a risk free way.

"Are we almost there? I didn't wear the right shoes for all this blasted walking you're making me do." My voice whined, and I could tell it irritated him by the low grunt he gave me as a response. Harsh, but I get it. He was rushing, and I wasn't making this any bit easier since I had no clue what was going on.

"According to this map, the place we want is just a few blocks this way...do you want to stop somewhere for food before we go?" Potter looked at me, but I shook my head.

"Food? I don't think we'll be needing it today." I answered simply, and he nodded. We were surviving off of the large meals we had eaten on the train here.

"Right then...don't wonder off. follow me." I nodded, and we indulged in yet another long walk...in reality, it was MAYBE ten minutes, but my wary soul would of said it was more. We all know how I love to over complicate things....

When we arrived, the building was huge, and in front displayed a large, neon sign. It read "Make-A-Moment" It flashed and displayed many bright colours with odd, bright lights. It made me nervous, if I'm being honest. When we went inside, the waiting area was empty- I assume they have speedy service due to the kind of people they serve. The woman at the front desk looked up at us.

"Welcome to Make-A-Moment. what are you two looking to do on your last day with us?"

"What are the options?" Potter said, and the woman handed him a large notebook that was filled with everything we could do. I sat down next to him in the chairs, peeking over his shoulder.

"Skydiving seems fun, doesn't it?" He said, and I shrugged. I hadn't a clue what that was- even if the name was incredibly obvious.

"What's that one?" I pointed to a page that had a tall cliff on it.

"Cliff jumping. Apparently it has a pool and a platform. You put on a VR headset, and it makes it seem like it's a lot higher up. The fans in the rooms make it seem like you're falling a lot further." He explained.

"What if we drown?"

"It says here that life guards are on duty the entire time we are in the simulation. They jump in as soon as we hit the water to drag us out." That made sence.

"Let's do that one."

"Alright then...' We bother stood up and went back to the counter. We had to fill out a ton of paperwork for liability and risks that come with the simulation, even though I thought it was supposed to be risk FREE. Potter told me it costed 200 pounds each, and he helped me divide 200 from my money. He paid for his own, then we were taken back.

There were at least a hundred rooms that we passed by. All had different things going on. One room had a man in a race car with a funny looking goggle set on his face. He was yelling and smiling. Another room had a couple making out in a hot hair balloon, which only really lifted off the ground a few feet. they also had Weird goggles on.

Our room looked a lot like the Prefrct bathroom. It had a large pool at the bottom, then a ladder that led up to a long platform about 20 feet up. When we got up there, Potter handed me a set of those weird goggles that the other people had on.

"Put these on. It will make 5he experience a lot better."

I dont know if I should trust that, but I slid them onto my face as a man strapped me into a vest. It was freaky...as soon as I put the goggles on, the room turned bright and colourful. it looked like I was at a beach side cliff, and the water looked like the ocean. A woman's voice boomed overhead on what Potter called 'speakers'

"You are both ready to go. Jump whenever you like. take your time!"

"are you ready?" I heard Potter beside me, and I felt his hand grab my sleeve. I nodded, even though I couldn't see him, I heard him jump off of the platform. He yelled for a moment, but the room was filled with his own shrill laughter thag encouraged me to jump.

so I did.

When my feet left the platform, I felt the high volume fans flowing against me, which kept me falling for at least a little bit longer...And when I hit the water...I felt a lair of hands grab my shoulders and pull me out of the pool, but I was laughing too hard with Potter to actually realize the simulation shutting off. My eyes hurt when I took the goggles off.

"Brilliant, isn't it?!" He shouted, a dry towel now wrapped around him. I nodded, taking my own towel and drying myself off. It was good that I packed an extra set of clothes.

"is that all?" I look at the lady who brought us here, and she nodded. What a shame. 200 pounds for thirty seconds of fun- But I guess that was the point. "Where do we go next?" I looked over at Potter.

"We change, then we find something else to do." I followed him out, and we changed in the locker room in the next hallway.

Muggles have an odd way of having fun.
