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

[Iris and Hagrid are in the underground tube.]

Iris: [reading the list] First year students will require: three sets of work robes, one wand.

[She turns to Hagrid]

Hagrid: Essential bit of equipment, Iris.

Iris: One pair of dragon-hide gloves. [she turns to Hagrid again] Hagrid, do they mean for a real dragon?

Hagrid: Well, they don't mean for a penguin, do they? Heh. Crikey, but not a dragon.

Iris: But you like a dragon?

Hagrid: Fast and misunderstood beasts, Iris. Fast and misunderstood.

[He suddenly eyes a woman and then he nods. The woman returns to reading her paper.]

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

Iris: 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?

"If you know where to go", Dumbledore answers subconsciously.

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 Iris here buy his school supplies.

"Oh no"

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

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

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

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

Witch: Doris Crockford, Ms. 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: Iris P-potter. C-can't tell you how pleased I am to meet you.

"Yeah, bet you were pleased to meet her", Aries mumbles as he kissed Iris' forehead.

Those who heard him-minus the future generation-sent him confuse glances.

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

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

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

"Just because she defeated he-who-must-not-be-named doesn't mean she doesn't need the subject"

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

Iris: Goodbye.

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

Hagrid: See, Iris, you're famous!

Iris: 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, Iris. [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, Iris, to Diagon Alley. [Iris 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.

[Iris 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]

The quidditch fans drool at the sight of the broom.
