The Untold Reborn

Chapter-2 : The First Glimpse Of Magic

The sun was shining brightly over Cirencester, casting a warm glow on the charming town. The Harrison home, with its ivy-clad walls and blooming garden, was abuzz with activity. Today was a day of great significance for their adopted daughter, Aurelia. The excitement in the air was palpable as Margaret and Edward Harrison prepared for their daughter's first foray into the magical world.

Margaret Harrison was bustling around the kitchen, her face a mixture of excitement and nervous anticipation. She was arranging a small basket of snacks for the journey and ensuring that everything was perfect. Edward Harrison was checking the time and occasionally glancing out the window, his eagerness evident.

"We need to make sure we're ready to meet Eliza on time," Edward said, glancing at the clock. "It's going to be quite an experience for Aurelia."

Margaret nodded, her hands moving deftly as she adjusted the items in the basket. "Yes, I just hope everything goes smoothly. This is such a big step for her."

Aurelia, standing nearby, couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. Today was her first visit to Diagon Alley, and she was eager to explore the magical world she had only heard about in stories.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Margaret hurried to answer it. Eliza Moon, a friendly witch with a lively demeanor, stood on the doorstep. Her robes were adorned with subtle magical embellishments that sparkled in the sunlight, and her wand was elegantly tucked into her belt.

"Good morning, Margaret! Edward!" Eliza greeted warmly. "And you must be Aurelia Potter. I'm Eliza Moon. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Aurelia looked up at Eliza with a mixture of curiosity and awe. "Hello. It's nice to meet you too."

Eliza's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I've heard a lot about you and your brother!"

Aurelia's interest was immediately piqued. "My brother? Harry? What have you heard about him?"

Eliza's smile grew a bit wistful. "Well, Harry's quite a hero in the wizarding world. He's known for his bravery and skill. I'm sure you'll know all about him once you're at Hogwarts."

Aurelia's curiosity was not fully satisfied. "That's all?"

Eliza hesitated, her expression shifting slightly. "Harry's story is well-known, but it's best if you experience Hogwarts and your own adventures there. You'll learn more about him as you go along."

Feeling a bit let down but trying to stay optimistic, Aurelia nodded. "I suppose I'll learn more when I get there."

With the final preparations made, the group set out. Eliza led them down a hidden alleyway in Cirencester. She tapped her wand against a brick wall, and the bricks began to shift and slide, revealing a concealed archway.

Aurelia's eyes widened with wonder as she stepped through the archway, finding herself in Diagon Alley. The street was alive with color and magic. Witches and wizards moved through the cobblestone streets, shops overflowed with enchanting goods, and the air was filled with the scents of potions and fresh parchment. Aurelia was mesmerized.

First Eliza led them to Gringotts, the wizarding bank. It was truly amazing for Aurelia to see goblins working as humans. This was her first time seeing such a species.

After exchanging money, Eliza guided them to Ollivanders, the renowned wand shop. The bell above the door chimed softly as they entered. The shop's interior was a labyrinth of wand boxes, and the air was tinged with the scent of aged wood and magic. Mr. Ollivander, the shop's enigmatic owner, looked up from behind the counter with an intrigued expression.

"Good day," Mr. Ollivander said, his voice smooth and practiced. "You must be Aurelia Potter. I've been expecting you."

Aurelia felt a surge of both pride and anxiety. "Yes, that's me."
