The Exchange Student ( A Harry Potter Fan Fiction)

Chapter 2- Madame Malkin's

Claire wandered around the shop looking for her mother, she finally spotted her mother at the cash register, purchasing the books that were needed.

" Did you find your Charms book?" her mother asked while rummaging for a galleon in her coin pouch.

" No, this girl 'ot the last copy" Claire pouted.

" Is there anyway we could get this book before she goes to Hogwarts?" Mrs. Fournier asked the cashier.

" Yes, we can order one from an owl, I guarantee it will be here before September 1st" he said. Claire's mother thanked the cashier and Claire and her went to Madame Malkin's shop to buy robes.

The crystal clear windows revealed racks and racks of different colored robes for all occasions, hence the store's name. Claire felt a pang of excitement for trying on robes, she opened the heavy door and gasped at the racks and selves of robes, she was dumbfounded that all of those robes could fit into one tiny shop.

" Hello dear, I'm Madame Malkin, the owner of this shop. Is there anything you need in particular?" the tall dark-haired witch named Madame Malkin asked.

" I just 'eed a robe for 'Ogwarts" Claire said.

" You must be from Beauxbatons, transferring to Hogwarts?" Madame Malkin asked.

Claire nodded and Madame Malkin showed her all the designs and patterns of all sorts. Madame Malkin measured Claire and went out to the storage area to get Claire some robes that'll fit her. Claire heard the front door of the shop open, she heard a familiar voice but she couldn't think of who it was.

The sound got closer and closer, Claire was startled at who it was, it was Kaylee Johnson the girl who Claire despised after meeting her once.

" Buying robes to are you?" Kaylee sneered.

" 'es got a problem with 'hat" Claire said enraged.

" There's no problem, oh wait I take that back there is a problem, you're buying robes at the same time as me, tsk tsk, now leave." Kaylee spat.

Claire felt enraged and hot-headed, she's usually a nice person but then someone ticks her off it turns ugly. " 'O I'm the problem now?!" Claire yelled.

" Yes, you've always been the problem" Kaylee sneered with pleasure.

Claire was speechless, was she really the problem? What did she ever do to Kaylee? She only just met her at Flourish and Blotts.

" Ladies, is there a problem?" Madame Malkin said with a handful of robes.

" No, there's no problem Madame Malkin" Kaylee said in an innocent but convincing voice.

" Well, here are some robes to try on Miss" Madame Malkin said while giving the robes to Claire.

Kaylee turned away and gave Claire the evil eye and finally left the store without any robes purchased.

Claire tried on the selected robes, and picked the robes that fit. She purchased it from Madame Malkin for 5 galleons.
