~ Diagon Alley ~

[The next day, in the streets of London.]

[The next scene, Hagrid and Aurora are walking down the streets.]

Aurora: All students must be equipped with...one standard size two pewter cauldron and may bring if they desire either an owl, a cat or a toad. Could we find all this in London?

Hagrid: If you know where to go.

[They walk towards a corner store and as they get closer, the sign above it has "The Leaky Cauldron" magically appearing. They enter the Leaky Cauldron. There was music and several patrons that are speaking to each other.]

Tom: Ah, Hagrid! The usual, I presume?

Hagrid: No thanks, Tom. I'm on official Hogwarts business today. Just helping young Aurora here buy her school supplies.

Tom: Bless my soul. It's Aurora Potter.

[The pub immediately goes silent and everyone notices. A man comes up and shakes Aurora's hand.]

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗯 𝗴𝗼𝘁.

Man: Welcome back, Miss. Potter, welcome back.

[A witch comes up and shakes Aurora's hand, as well.]

"𝗢𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗲." 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘀𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿.

"𝗜'𝗺 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 it?" 𝗔𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝗺.

Witch: Doris Crockford, Miss. Potter. I can't believe I'm meeting you at last.

[A man in robes with a turban on his head appears. It is Professor Quirrell.]

Quirrell: Aurora P-potter. C-can't tell you how pleased I am to meet you.

Hagrid: Hello, Professor. I didn't see you there. Aurora, this is Professor Quirrell. He'll be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts.

Aurora: Oh, nice to meet you. [puts out her hand, offering a handshake with Quirrell. But he looks at Aurora's head and hesitatingly refuses]

Quirrell: F-fearfully fascinating subject. N-not that you need it, e-eh, Potter? Heheh.

𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀.

Hagrid: Yes, well, must be going now. Lots to buy. Heh.

Harry: Goodbye.

[The two leave into a back room winery in front of a brick wall.]

Hagrid: See, Harry, you're famous!

Aurora: But why am I famous, Hagrid? All those people back there, how is it they know who I am?

Hagrid: I'm not exactly sure I'm the right person to tell you that, Harry. [Taps the brick wall clockwise with his umbrella. The blocks then magically shift and open up to reveal a hidden, busy street called Diagon Alley.] Welcome, Aurora, to Diagon Alley. [Aurora grins broadly as they step into the street and walk down it. An owl screeches.] Here's where you'll get your quills and ink, and over there all your bits and bobs for doing your wizardry.

[Aurora is amazed as they pass by shops and owls and bats. The camera pans on a broom store, where a group of boys are crowded around a shiny broom.]

Boy: It's a world class racing broom. Look at it, it's the new Nimbus 2000! It's the fastest model yet. [the camera pans to see the broom's model name on the handle]
