Lil me was deep in my slumber when I heard a very familiar bitch bain and jumped onto her bed. "Ains!! Wake the heck up!!! We are going to Diagon Alley today!!" It was none other than Nora. "Ah. Get the fuck out I wanna sleep." I groaned proceeding to go back to sleep.

I was dozing off again but then I felt wet as if a bucket of water was dumped on me. I woke up wide-eyed and yelled, "What the actual fuck?" She had the audacity laugh at me.

"Get up we are going somewhere remember?" She said. "So what?! That doesn't mean I should wake up at 7:30 fucking am!" I whined and fell back onto the bed.

She just shook her head and walked out. Great now I can't fall back asleep. I sighed and checked my notifications. I had a few messages from one of my bestest of friends, other than these three. We've been friends since we were in our diapers. She was called Skyler. Skyler Mason.

I sighed and got up from the bed, proceeding to get ready for the day. It didn't take me longer than ten minutes to get ready as I had nothing to do expect for brushing my teeth and taking a shower. It's a very simple routine.

I've left a few of my clothes, which are basically my dad's clothes that doesn't fit him anymore, in a lil cabinet in the room I stay in since I do come over here every now and then. They were a quite large for me but baggy clothes are just my kinda thing so I don't mind it.

After what felt like a blink of an eye, I made my way downtairs to the dining room for breakfast. Getting down the stairs squeezed out every single bit of energy that was left in me.

When I got there, I realised that I was the last one to arrive. Not uttering a single word, I sat beside Nora and began digging in, not caring less about our mothers' nervous expression. They're probably planning on trying to convince us to not leave for Hogwarts since it's too risky and shit but you only live once, don't ya?

"Girls, we are going to Diagon Alley today. And I wrote to Dumbledore about you attending Hogwarts." said Mr. Anderson. I just looked at him, giving him a nod of acknowledgement and continued devouring what was in my plate and eventually, Nora's as well.

Just when it was time to go, we were informed the way we would be traveling. Apparition. That was the last thing I was willing to do. Grumpily, I mumbled, "What else could ruin my morning.".

When we were finally there, I was less than an inch close to puking everything that I had for breakfast then and there. But ya girl ain't gon waste some tasty food so yes, I managed not to.

Nora was all giggly about shopping and stuff while Carla, Iris and I were just following her like lost puppies. We soon found ourselves af Olivanders. We greeted him and it didn't take him long to realise who we were.

"Ms. Anderson, Addams, Davis, and Carlton. A pleasure to meet you. I wondered when you would step in my shop misses." Exclaimed Ollivander. Dude I don't even know who I myself am and these people really do be pulling up with a whole biography on us with just a glimpse of us. Great respect, man.

We all got our wands. Mine was an unicorn tail hair core, cedar wood, 14 ¼". Nora's was a Phoenix feather core, redwood wood, 13 ¼". Carla's was a dragon heartstring, English oak wood, 11 ½". Iris' was a Phoenix too, just like Nora, vine wood, 11 ¾".

We stepped out of the shop with our new wands in our hands. And now, I was awaiting the part I was most excited about. Pets. Cats, to be precise.

I almost screamed when I saw a black kitten with blue eyes. Oh, I already have a name for it. Kuro. Yes, I would call it Kuro. It was pretty simple, actually. Kuro means black in Japanese. The first thing that came to my mind after thinking of the colour black was kuro. Guess my Japanese lessons are working as they should.

Iris' was blonde, it had a star in its left eye pupil. Could be why she named him Aqua. Nora's was snow-white, she named her Snowball while Carla's was black as well and she didn't tell us the name she came up with since she's 'exploring her options'.

It was 20:00 when we got back to Nora's. Our mothers' were giving us some sort of silent treatment but I didn't really mind. I actually liked it that way. They probably wanted us to feel bad and reconsider but even though I would reconsider for my personal concerns, I know damn well Nora wouldn't. Since she would be able to meet her one and only, prince charming, the one that captured her heart, Draco Malfoy.

In the beginning of her becoming a potterhead, sis was heads over heels for Ron. So much that we got into a cat fight just because I said that Ron is not the best looking character. It was obviously Hermione. And then suddenly she just shows up after summer break like 'guys I'm over Ron. Draco is my new man'.

My thoughts were cut off by my father's words. "Dinners ready. And you better not pick out the tomatoes."

And I did exactly that. I was fine with ketchup or raw tomatoes in salads and sandwiches. But when you cook it up, I hate it. Not just tomatoes, all vegetables. I like everything raw. But I wouldn't mind eating cooked vegetables but I definitely do in the case of tomatoes. Maybe, I'll grow out of it as I get older but as of now I hate it with all my might.

I offered the tomatoes that I picked out to Iris and Iris, not being able to stand my charms, ate them. Iris best girl <3

After I was done with dinner I was gone. I could hear the others chatting downstairs but I didn't want to join them. Moreover, I am an introvert. I've been around a lot of people today so I need some alone time to function properly. So I spent an hour out on the balcony, with Kuro and the last song that played, at least what I remember played, was 'I don't understand but I luv u.' Now we know why Ainsley Carlton went to bed at 23:44 with tears streaming down her eyes.
