The Night We Met

Snake On The Lose & Diagon Alley

Y/n groaned as she woke up to her alarm. She yawned and turned it off, her hair messy.

"Y/n!" Her mother called up the stairs, walking into the room, "Ah you're awake, hoped I'd catch you before the alarm,"

The girl shook her head groggily, "I'm as awake as can be, what is it?"

Her mother smiled and sat on the edge of her bed, "Well, I was thinking, as your brother has his quidditch match and your father is coaching him and it's just you and me..."

"...that you want to do something?" Y/n said hesitantly, "Like what,"

"Well anything really," Mrs Y/ln smiled, "I know you're probably bored of spending days on days at the club with me after having been in France for three weeks but..."

"But..." Y/n said.

"Well you pick," Mrs Y/ln got off of the bed, "Anything, let me know when you're down for breakfast, your father grandmother's crepes,"

Y/n smiled tiredly and rubbed the sleep from her eyes, getting out and rummaging for something to wear.

She picked out a nice outfit and walked to the bathroom to wash her face but was interrupted by her brother running into the bathroom before her.

"Beat you to it!" He sneered, shutting the door.

"Mon dieu Daniel!" She scowled, "Quand tu auras ton propre salle de bain fixe?!"

"Y/n!" Her mother scowled up the stairs, "Mais bien joue pour paler francais,"

"De rien," Y/n muttered as her brother walked out sniggering.

She washed her face, used the bathroom and headed downstairs, "Mmmmm deliceux papa," She kissed her father on the cheek, "Merci pour ca,"

"C'est mon pleasure," Her father replied, "Your french is getting better by the day, soon you'll be able to gossip with cousin Manon,"

"Oui," She sighed, digging in to her crepes, "J'espere,"

"Alors," Her mum leant over the table to Y/n, speaking back into english, "What are we doing today,"

Y/n paused, "Something muggley,"

"What," Daniel said through mouthfuls of Nutella and crepe, "That's insane,"

"Tais toi Daniel," She scowled, "Listen I just want to pretend to be a muggle for a day, I know we do some muggle things, we have a nice car, a supermarket we visit, you play tennis with your muggle friends..."

"Alright," Mrs Y/n put her hands down on the table, "We'll do it, something muggle's do, anything,"

"Oooh," Her dad flipped the crepe, "His head slightly turned to their table, "That's risky Anna, remember the last time you promis-,"

"And I'm a woman of my word," She nodded sternly, "What shall it be for the ladies today Y/n?"

"A zoo," Y/n said, "Not some swanky wizard one full to the brim of magical animals but a plain, boring one,"

Her mother nodded, "Zoo it is dear, which one exactly?"

"Any that'll take us this late," She chuckled as her mother kissed her on the head and walked over to the telephone to ring up some numbers.

Daniel grumbled, "Lucky, whereas I have to go and play some local quidditch match against the Trowbridge Terrors, us Devizes Devils really have it coming for us,"

"Don't worry," Robert served a final crepe onto Daniel's plate, "You'll do brilliantly,"

"Hey Y/n," Her mother put down the phone, "I found us a zoo,"
