Friendship At First Sight (The Philosopher's Stone)

Chapter 4

After they reached shore, Hagrid called for an owl and gave it a letter, Harry and Lea watched as it flied away into the sunrise, still not believing everything that just happened with the Dursleys and the concept of them being a witch and wizard and being able to cast spells. After some time of Hagrid calling her Amelia did Lea too shim that he could call her Lea, she was so used of Harry calling her by her nickname it felt weird something calling her by her real name. They all walked for miles until they reached the underground. Inside people glanced at Hagrid, who had tarn two seats, but he only paid attention to the Potters, who were sitting in front of them, listening as Harry read some of his materials out loud.

"First year students will require three sets of plain work robes, one wand..." The boy trailed off as he looked up at the giant man, "That essential bit of equipment, Harry" The man simply said as he gave a nod to continue. Harry looked down at the list and did so, "One pair of dragon hide gloves-" Harry stopped as he and Lea both stared at the man in shock, "Hagrid, do they mean from a real dragon?" Lea asked curiously and got excited at the thought of a real dragon. 

"Well they don't mean from a penguin do they?" Hagrid joked as he chuckled, raising his head and looking into the distance, "Crickey, I'd love a dragon", "You'd like a dragon?" Harry asked with a small smile playing on his face, "Little misunderstood creatures beasts, Harry" He replied, shaking his head a bit, "Misunderstood"

Lea wasn't sure about that as dragons breathe fire and well...attack people on sight but maybe there were some that don't do that, I mean there has to be, right? She looked up just in time to nod his head in greeting at a blonde woman that has been staring at him for some minutes, the woman only shook her head and continuing on reading the news, he only raised his eyebrows at the two children as they smiled even bigger. 

A few minutes later, the three of them were walking down London streets as Lea now read their required  materials for Hogwarts, "Student will require one pewter, standard size 2 cauldron and bring either they desire an owl, a cat or a toad" Lea turned to look up at Hagrid, "Can we find all this is London?" Harry was also gazing up at the tall man, who only leaned closer to them and said in a hushed voice, "If you now where to go" 

Then they stopped in front of a black building with black windows and no sign, it appears to be a broken-down old shop, others were just passing them, not noticing the two eleven year olds with a giant man, Hagrid opened the door for them, closing it after them as Harry and Lea entered the building to hear chattering among other people in robes and point hats, it looked like a dark, shabby pub and inn for wizards. 

"Ah, Hagrid!" A man behind the bar says as he sees the giant walking closer, 'He looked like a barkeeper' Lea thought as she gazed at him and the room 'probably is' . "No thanks, Tom" Hagrid says as they stop in front of the man and a few witches and wizards, "I'm on official Hogwarts business today. Just helping young Harry and Lea here buy their school supplies" He finished as he patted the twins on their shoulders, Lea offered a warm smile at the man but it faltered as the man drops his smile and looks at her brother. 

"Bless my soul. It's Harry Potter" Tom says as the pubs goes silent and everyone looks towards where the Potters were standing, Lea turns her head as a man approaches Harry and takes a hold of his hand, shaking it, "Welcome back, Mr. Potter, welcome back" A witch comes up and shakes his hand as well but also shaking Lea's, "Doris Crockford, Mr. and Ms.Potter. I can't believe I'm meeting you two at last" The woman says this as the siblings turn to each other with bewildered looks on their faces. 

Some other witches and wizards comes up and shakes Harry's hand, ignoring Lea as if she wasn't there, she feels something in her stomach and dismisses it, assuming she was hungry, they take a few steps before a pale young man made his way forward, very nervously. One of his eyes was twitching, "Harry and Lea P-potter" The man stuttered as he said this, "C-can't tell you how pleased I am to meet you"
