My father could not be bothered to take me to Diagon Alley. So I stole money from his desk and knocked on Angelina's door the very next day. She answered it, thankfully.

"Hey Angel." I whispered. "I'm going to pretend to be someone else and come shopping with you today to get my school stuff."

"Ok!" she replied. "Do you need a wig, or-"

I changed my hair to Brown and my eyes to blue.

"I can change my appearance."
I explained. "I'm not really sure why though.."

"You might be a Metamorphmagi."
she said quietly. "My dads told me about them."

"Cool!" I exclaimed quietly.
Just then her mum appeared at the door.

"Well who's this Angel?" she asked.

"This is Emma, mum." she lied. "Her parents couldn't take her to Diagon Alley today, but as we are going today, she came to ask if she can come with us."

"Well ok!" she said cheerily. "Who are your parents then dear? I might know them from work."

"Elouise and Ted Banks." I said quickly, thinking on my feet. "You won't know them; we only just moved here last week. I met Angel in the lanes the other day, and she said I was welcome at your house, so I asked my parents and they said it was fine."

"Oh, ok!" she replied. "Well, should we get going then?"

"Yes!" Angelina and I exclaimed excitedly.
