I'm not a coward, just shy (Hogwarts fanfic)

ch 2 - don't travel by floo powder

(Song is She will be loved by maroon 5 covered by Ashley Laderer)

I have discovered that traveling by floo powered is not my favorite way to travel. I felt a hand on my shoulder from where I kneeled down, trying not to lose my lunch.

"You ok, bubby. You will get used to that" Miss Young said, "I am got your money for gringotts" She said.

"What money" I asked and looked at her smiling face. She was very pretty but you could see her years were catching up with her, the odd grey hair in sheer blonde waves.

"The wizard money from your mother's family bank, You are the sole air of a long line of Fleets. Did you think your mother would leave you with nothing" she said taking me by the arm and forcing me to my feet. "Now get up, we have stuff to get and shopping to do" She said and turned to Mrs Weasley, "We will meet up with you in two hours" She smiled.

"Ok Kate, be safe" She said dragging Fred and George by their ears.

"Where too first" I asked when they were of sight.

"How about a wand" She said she said pointing to a shop that said "Ollivander's makers of fine wands".

"Ollivander, how long has it been" Miss young said as she entered the store.

"Why if it isn't Kate young, Holly, dragon heartstring, 10 inches, bendy, if I am correct" An very older man with wispy white hair said from behind the counter.

"We need a wand" she smiled and he then noticed me even though I had tried to hide behind Miss young.

"Why you must be Mr Fleet, you look just like your mother, even have her eyes but your fathers hair colour, I have been waiting to give you a wand" he smiled before walking over to one of the walls of boxes with were balanced in such a way it was a miracle they didn't crash to the floor. "I know what wand will suit you, I have been saving it" the man came back holding a long, dusty box that was once navy blue. He opened the box and sat in side was a light coloured wood wand. Tiny music notes etched random into the wood.

"Pick it up and give it a wave" Ollivander said and I reached in the box and picked it up. It was light and it felt right, like a bird finding it's wings for the first time. I had barely waved it when golden light pulsed from the wand. It only happened for a few second at most but every second seem to slow in a minute.

"I knew that was the one" Ollivander smiled. "Ash, Unicorn hair, 12 inches, light and springy" I grinned at him.

"Know much" I smiled.

"Ten Gallons" he said and Miss young fished in as small bag and handed him ten large coins. We left as Miss Young was explaining wizard money.

"I have to do something, So why don't you go in there and get some school robes" She said pointing to a shop, the sign reading "Madam Malkin's robes for all occasion". Miss young hand me enough money to pay and sent me in.

When I walked in I was greeted by a pump witch who was holding to sets of robes.

"Hogwarts robes, I am guessing" she asked, I nodded my head. "Come this way, Sadly there is no privacy isn't there are two boys in their"

"That's fine, Miss" I said walking into the fitting room. There were two other boys in there. One had round glasses and messy black hair and very green eyes. The other had almost white hair and an up turned nose and looked Like thought everything was below him.

"Boys, would be so kind to turn around while this young lady is fitted" She said and I was rather shocked.

"Miss, there is no need for that, I am a guy" I rather quickly going bright red.
