I woke up with Harry Potter being at my breakfast table. "Hullo" he says and quickly I say hello back sitting at the empty chair. Shoveling food in because heaven knows something will interrupt it and as if on cue Dad starts asking Harry all about muggle rubber ducks.

"How'd you get here anyway?" He turns his head over to me. That seems to set mum off because she says.

"That reminds me, your sons drove that flying car of yours all the way to sorry and back to get Harry." I smile because mum looks very concerned. If anything I'm annoyed Ron didn't invite me. But I get it, there's no room in a four person car plus all Harry's stuff. Again as if on cue Ginny comes in asking about her jumper. Mum responds saying it's on the cat and Ginny pauses and runs away when she sees Harry. Over the summer Ginny has developed this crush on Harry. She only talked to him once, she doesn't even know him. I just don't get it. He's just a boy.

"Post is here!" Percy then goes and gets it, it's our Hogwarts letters including Harry's. Dad makes a comment of how "Dumbledore always knows." And I just roll my eyes. I look over at the supply list and it looks quite pricey, before I can make a comment about it Fred beats me to it.

"This lot won't come cheap mum." And mum brushes him off simply saying we'll figure it out.

"There's only one place we're going to get all of this, Diagon alley."

After a long time of waiting for Ron I finally yelled at him.

"I swear on Merlin's beard if you don't get down here Ron!" I hear two footsteps rumbling down.

"I'm coming, i'm coming, don't get your knickers in a twist." Merlin he's such an arse. Mum scolds Ron about being rude and I grin at him.

"Harry, you go first." Harry seems to pause as if he's a deer caught in headlights.

"Mum, I don't think Harry knows how." I say because clearly mum forgot that Harry was raised by muggles.

"Right, right, well you go first Ron so you can show Harry how it's done." Ron steps up and uses the floo.

"Diagon alley!" Once he does it's again that Harry looks like he's caught in headlights because he's terrified to go next. He steps up to the fireplace and says.

"Diginilly!" I crinkle my brow once he disappears in a poof of smoke. Mum and dad discuss what he says and quickly rushes us all into the fireplace.

It's a rush as soon as we get in Diagon Alley, since me and Ginny are the youngest and we need all the new things mum tells dad to take us to get our wands and robes. After the rush of people going their separate ways and mum saying she'll be on the lookout for Harry, we head to Madam Malkin's.

It takes quite a while to get our robes, way more than I ever thought needed, but Ginny 'needs it to be perfect.' So after I pick my robes after trying it out once I just wait in a chair till Ginny finds what she needs.

"You look quite bored in that chair." I look up and see a beautiful blond girl who doesn't seem all that much older than me. Her hair is straight but somehow still curly. Then I look at her robe over her clearly expensive clothing and see the patch of green.

"Ya, uh my sister has been looking for robes for a while." I look down at my clothes and just now realize how inadequate they look. I straighten my back.

"Trust me I'm sure I'll feel the same way next year! My sister is coming and she can be quite the handful sometimes. Anyway I'm sure you're wondering my name I'm Daphne, Daphne Greengrass." She smiles at me and despite what I've always been told about Slytherins, that they're cold and unrelenting. She seems like she's actually kind.

"I'm Ella Weasley, and I must say your robes are quite beautiful. I'm assuming you're older than me?"

"Yes I'm in my second year and as you've already noticed I'm a Slytherin. I've got to get going but I'll see you around. And by the way, you should get that in red, it'll work with your skin tone." Shes gone and I go get up to get different robes.
