Harry and I have never been to London but Hagrid seemed to know where he was going so we followed him but it also seemed he didn't know how to get there the non-magic way. Hagrid got stuck in an underground ticket barrier, complained about the small seats and slow trains. I was looking over the school list when we were walking down a street, 

"All students must be equipped with one brass scales, 1 telescope, 1 set glass, 1 cauldron, a wand," 

"They can bring if they desire either an owl, a cat, or a toad," said Harry looking over his list

"Can we find all this in London Hagrid?" I asked looking up at him

"If you know where to go," said Hagrid

We walked by a regular shop like coffee, clothing, food, and cinemas but there seemed to be nowhere around that would sell a magic wand. As we kept walking, I began to think what if the Dursleys had played a prank on us? Wait the Dursleys have zero sense of humor. Everything that Hagrid had told him war unbelievable but I felt I could trust Hagrid. I looked at Harry who seemed worried, 

"You okay Harry?" I asked linking my arm with him

"Yup, just thinking if the Dursleys pulled a prank," said Harry smiling

"You know they have zero sense of Humor. Its highly unlikely," I laughed 

"True," said Harry

"Ready to conquer the day?" I asked 

"Ready as I'll ever be?" said Harry

"This is it," said Hagrid at a black wooden door that people on the street didn't seem to notice and walked by "The Leaky Cauldron. It's a famous place,"

"For a famous place it's very dark and old," I whispered in Harry's ear. He nodded and laughed. 

The buzz of talking and laughing as we walked in stopped when we walked in. Everyone was looking at Hagrid like they know him; some waved or smiled. The bartender reached for a glass "The usual Hagrid?" He looked like a toothless walnut that was balding. 

"Can't Tom. I'm on Hogwarts business," said Hagrid tapping mine and Harry's shoulders "Helping Young Harry and Y/n here buying their school supplies. 

"Good Lord," said the bartender looking at us,"Its Y/n and Harry Potter," 

As soon as he said our names the whole place was silent you could here a pin drop. The bartender ran around the bar and over to us, "Welcome back. Mr and Ms. Potter, Welcome Back," 

The next moment everyone in the Leaky Cauldron was introducing themselves to us. There were people coming back to meet us twice or even three times which felt weird. A women with a smoking pip was puffing without realizing it was out. Hagrid was smiling at the both of us. 

"Doris Crockford, Mr and Ms Potter, can believe I am meeting you at last,"

"Welcome Back Potters," 

"Y-Y/n an-d H-Harry P-P-otter. C-ant tell you h-how please I am to m-eet y-ou," 

"Professor Quirell. Didnt see you there. Y/n and Harry this is Professor Quirell," said Hagrid

"What kind of magic do you teach Professor?" I asked 

"D-Defense Ag-Against the D-D-Dark arts," stuttered Professor Quirell "Not that you need eh-P-Potters," 

"Best be going now. Lots to buy," said Hagrid

"Good-bye," Harry and I said in unison

We walked out the back a little space that looked like a makeshift small yard,"See Y/n and Harry. Your famous," said Hagrid holding the door
