We arrived in Diagon Alley to find everyone already there. I was practically jumping up and down. I ran up to Ginny to give her a giant hug. I then did the same thing with Hermione. I gave Harry, Ron,Fred, and George awkward but good hugs.
I then went back over to the girls and we started to walk and talk as the boys just rolled their eyes and followed us. The parents were laughing and starting to go after us. I went back to my mom and dad to get some money for my supplies so I could go off with the girls since I wasn’t a first year anymore. First, we headed to the pet store because I was promised that I could get my own owl.
I picked out a beautiful black and white elf owl. She was so small that I just had to get her. Her name is Nika and I love her already.
We got the rest of our supplies then went to the ice cream shoppe because we each had extra money. We got a table outside and we were talking when someone walked up to our table. I looked at who it was and rolled my eyes.
It was Draco Malfoy. He was probably here to mess with us like usual. I immediately cut to the point and said “Draco, just leave. You’re here to mess with us and we don’t feel like listening to you today.”He just stood there shocked so we grabbed our things and left. He wasn’t going to leave so we did.
We met back up with our parents in front of the bookstore where the boys were. Wow they are slow. I mean we even got ice cream while they are just now finishing their shopping. The boys finally got done so I said goodbye to my parents until the train station in two days.
We got to Ginny’s house and the girls went up to her room right away. We had to catch up on girl things you know. Mrs. Weasley made sure that we knew that dinner was at 5 o’clock sharp. We stayed in Ginny’s room until dinner.
Dinner was delicious and we were all full from it. All of the kids decided to play a boardgame since we were bored and all wanted to do something. We ended up having a wizard chess tournament. I used to play regular chess at my muggle school when I was little so I was one of the top people. I came in second place while Ron came in first and Harry in third.
We finished the game around 10:30 so we all went up to bed so that we could have more fun the next day.
The next day, we played Quidditch in the backyard. Hermione and I weren’t very good but everyone else was so the girls decided to sit out and watch.Ginny didn’t want to be an odd number out so she decided to sit with us. At one point I looked over into the garden that Mrs. Weasley keeps and saw a garden gnome walking around. I turned towards Ginny and whispered what I wanted to do in her ear. She nodded and we silently crept away from Hermione who was engrossed in a book.
We walked into the garden and saw even more gnomes. Mrs. Weasley had been talking about how she wanted her garden degnomed so we decided to play who can throw the gnome the farthest. It was really funny to hear the gnomes shout profanity as we launched them through the air. By the time that we had stopped laughing, everyone had gathered at the gates to see what we were laughing about. We showed them what we were doing and how to do it. Soon, everyone was joining in on the laughing and fun. I wish that our life could always be as easy as this. Sadly, it isn’t it was one of those very disasters that led me to meet these guys.
I was in my first year and I was walking down the hallway with my Transfiguration book in my hands, I had stopped at a picture and was looking at myself in the glass. I saw these bright yellow eyes that looked like snake eyes. I tried to run but I couldn’t. I was frozen. I still had all my senses but I couldn’t move a muscle. When everyone was getting better, the group came to see Hermione. I didn’t have anyone to visit me because A) it was my first year and I didn’t have any friends and B) I wasn’t from England so I didn’t have an accent. I was made fun of for that too. Ginny came over from where Hermione was and talked to me. The rest was history after that.
I went to bed that night just reminiscing over that memory and different memories that I have with all my friends. I knew that tomorrow we would be going back to Hogwarts, the one place where we all felt complete and really at home. I guess you could say that we were all going home.
