AUTUMNS POV:

I caught up with my brother,Seth, as he was just about to leave for Diagon Alley. My mum came outside wearing a pair of jeans and a black blazer. She hopped into the car and me and my brother followed slowly. 20 minutes later we arrived at Diagonal Alley and all but kicked us out of the car. I laughed as she sped off and my brother handed me a pouch full of multicolored coins. I looked at them and stared at them weirdly.

"You really don't know what these are do you, Autumn?" My brother commented.

I shook my head and he explained that the gold ones were Galleons, the silver ones were Sickles, and the bronze one was a..... knut, I think. We walked through the busy street down to an old pub. I looked at Seth and he just rushed me forward. We entered and I saw a few strange people but the one that stuck out most was an older man with a weird looking turban on. He looked scared for some reason.

" Who is that" I whispered to my brother pointing at the guy with the turban on.

He simply said "Professor Quirrel"

I just tried to shrug off the eerie feeling I had and walked forward with my brother. We walked around and Dow to a brick wall. I looked at him like he was insane but he simply tapped on the wall and it opened showing a different variety of people including a small boy holding a toad and tearing up. My brother noticed two of his friends and walked faster and I just followed trying to dodge all of the people rushing around trying to buy supplies. When we reached the two red headed boys that I knew for a while I smiled politely at them, scared that I would be their test subject for another prank. They both laughed and hugged me, probably knowing that I was nervous.

The boys urged me forward and i stuck my tounge out at the twins. We walked together and went directly to a book store. I walked and saw all kinds of crazy books that moved and even growled at me! I was amazed at how big the store was too! The boys just laughed at my awe-stricken expression and I turned to glare at them.

They grabbed my books all to quickly and I realized that being a witch wasn't that bad and it didn't directly mean I was a freak, just different and maybe even in a good way. We made our way over to get my "robes" for school.

A lady invited me over to a stool and I stood on it willingly. She grabbed a measuring tape, tapped it with her wand, and it danced around my waist quickly. When I stepped off the stool the lady nodded her head mumbling something incoherent.

The I walked up to the front desk and paid for my robes that I tucked under my arm. I made my way outside and found my brother and Fred and George eating ice cream. Seth was holding and extra one and I grabbed for it before I put my robes down on the bench.

"Hey, I was gonna eat that!" My brother cried.

I bit into the cone loudly just to make him jealous and then sat down, humming.

After, we went to a bunch of stores for potions class and finally it was time to get my wand.I ran ahead of my brother, seeing how he was leading the line, and ran into the store.

" Hello, darling. Autumn, is it?" A man said.

I turned and saw him sitting behind a desk with a pair of glasses and white hair. By now my brother and the twins had walked in.

"Hello, ollivander." My brother said, tiredly

"My, my how are you, Seth?" Ollivander said.

"Good, I need to get a wand for my sister" my brother said, while slinging an arm around my shoulder.

"Of course, now I remember sitting here with your father. He was a great man, his wand was oak wood, 9 inches, dragon scale core, slightly springy" he replied, with a dazed look in his eyes.

I smiled, already liking this man. He sat me down on a stool and measured my left arm. Then he hurried off bringing 3 cases. He told me to wave my wand around and when i did nothing happened. I sat there sorta bummed and sad. After about 10 wand he ran to the back of the store and pulled out a black case with gold trimmings.

He pulled pulled out one and told merit was 11 1/2 inches, oak wood, basilisk scale core, and springy. I eagerly picked it up and spun it around when red, orange, and gold sparks flew creating a waterfall of color. I looked up surprised and ollivander, Fred, George, and seth clapped.
