Annabel

Chapter 4: Diagon Alley

Annabel woke up the next day with a blond girl slightly shaking her

"Annabel if you don't wake up right now I'm gonna jinx you..." said Dominique with a giggle while she tried to put Annabel in a sitting position

"Alright I'm up, I'm up." said Annabel while she got up.

The 11 year old looked down and saw the green book along with Hogwarts: a History on the floor, the blonde girl walked out of the library and Annabel picked up the two books, before putting the one she finished back on the shelf and walking back to the girls bedroom, finding her trunk exactly where it was the other day.
Two little girls were still asleep in their beds, and the older ones were getting ready, brushing their hair and picking up clothes... Annabel silently opened her trunk and put the book there, picking up a sweater and some jeans before heading to the girls bathroom. It was pretty cute, the walls were pink and it smelled like strawberry; she quickly took a shower and put the clothes she had picked before brushing her hair and going downstairs.
Everybody was already there, and when she entered the living room, Hermione, who was laughing with Ginny at something Luna had said, got up and started talking.

"So, everybody, yesterday night Harry, Ron and Neville went to Gringotts to take some money from your vaults for you, because it would take an eternity to visit every single vault of every single one of you today. So... Here it is..." she said lookig at the man while they handed each one of the kids a small bag with a few coins in it.

Someone had put A LOT of side notes on Hogwarts: a History, and Annabel knew that every family had a vault in Gringotts, the wizards bank, and she knew there were galleons, sickles and knuts.

"30 galleons for each one of you it's probably more than enough, so... Let's go? We're apparating, I want everybody to grab an adult's arm." said Hermione, offering her two arms.

Teddy was with Neville, Dominique was with Luna, Louis and Lorcan with Harry, Lysander with Ginny, Fred with Ron, leaving her and Victorie to go with Hermione.

"Okay... as you all know, strong grip on our arms. Annabel, don't let go of my arm, it's your first time, right?" Annabel nodded and Hermione continued

"It's pretty quick, alright, see y'all there."

With that Annabel heard a loud crack, and felt Hermione's arm twist away from her and she re-doubled her grip: the next thing she knew everything went black; she was pressed very hard from all directions; she could not breathe, there were iron bands tightening around her chest; her eyeballs were being forced back into her head; her ear-drums were being pushed deeper into her skull, and her feet touched the ground making her stumble and fall, still feeling dizzy.
She opened her eyes and saw that they were no longer in the living room, but in an very crowded and colorful alley. Inside the Alley was an assortment of restaurants, shops, and other sights; some even had tables out front with coloured umbrellas. A lot of witches and wizards walked up and down, with their pointed hats and long robes, kids buying candy and school supplies, and a lot of people were selling their things outside the stores.

"Alright! First stop with the kids... let's see... Madam Malkin's, let's go people! I wanna be back before lunch! Ron, go buy their books and send them to their rooms back home; Neville, could you go buy their potions supplies yeah? Harry, here's a list, buy these supplies please, a telescope, notebooks, pencils... Meet us at Olivanders. Me, Luna and Hermione will go with them to Madam Malkin's, to the pet shop, and to Olivanders." said Ginny with a small list of supplies on her hand.

They all started walking when Louis turned to Annabel
"Olivanders is the best stop, we'll be able to buy our wands! Too bad we don't know our houses yet, our uniforms are going to be plain black, we will only know our colors after the sorting ceremony..."
