The Missing Weasley: The Triplet

Diagon Alley

POV of Four:

Today is the day I get to go to Diagon Alley, school starts in two and a half weeks. I really can't wait to see Diagon Alley, there are not many books on it in the library, I wonder why. I made friends with Hagrid over the summer and he is going to take me. I cannot wait. 

Shoot. I need to get dressed. I put on a pair of black jeans, a blue shirt with black running shoes. I walk out of my room, a few steps out of the doorway I remember to go get my favorite sweater.  

Third Person:

Four walks down the many staircases and in the direction  Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. She knocks on the door and a few seconds later the door is opened by Hagrid. Fang runs up to her and licks her hands.

"Be ready in a few seconds Four"

"Okay," Four tells him, Hagrid pulls on his large overcoat and they walk out of the door, closing it behind them, keeping Fang inside. 

They walk together to Hogsmeade, the wizarding village. They then walk into The Three Broomsticks and walk to the fireplace and pay Madam Rosmerta three knuts to use her floo powder and fireplace. 

Four takes a handful of the powder and clearly saw "Diagon Alley", she stands in front of the fireplace and waits for Hagrid, he comes tumbling out a few moments later, nearly knocking her over. 

They come to a brick wall and Four says "Hagrid, is this a joke?"

"No, it is not," he then pulls his pink umbrella from his cloak and taps four points on the wall. The wall begins to shift open and make a doorway, Four steps though. She is in awe. 

The street is bustling with shoppers and merchants selling products. When they walk in Hagrid hands her the supply list and tells her "We have to find all of this, but first stop in Gringotts"

"But Hagrid, I have no money in the bank"

"But you do, we will be taking from the Hogwarts Scholarship account, that gives enough money to the kids who are orphans or need some"

"Okay" Four tells him as they walk up the white steps into the bank. Four looks around and sees small green hair creatures, and then suddenly she remembers what she had read a few weeks ago about Goblins. She remembers that they want to be respected as equals.  

She and Hagrid walk up to the head goblin, the one who manages the Hogwarts Scholarship account. 

"Sir, may I please take a withdrawal from the Hogwarts Scholarship account" Four asks him in her politest tone.  

He looks at Hagrid, not believing that voice had come from him he looks down onto the ground area, where Four is looking at him, with her blue hair. 

"How old are you little one," The goblin asks her since she still has not grown at her time with Dumbledore. 

"I turned eleven in April" Four replies politely. 

"Name?"

"Four" She replies. 

"Excuse me?"

"My name is Four, and I do not have any last name, sir."

"Well then, do you have Dumbledore's signature?" the goblin asked.

"Yes, you do Four," Hagrid tells her handing the goblin, Ragnok, a sheet of parchment with a loopy signature on it. Ragnok nods his head and signals for a goblin to take us down to the vault with us. He said his name was Gornuk. 

Hagrid and Four ride in the cart to the vault, Hagrid turning green and Four riding it like a roller coaster. They arrive at the vault and inside there are small bags. 

"There is enough money in them for all your supplies and a little extra" Gornuk told her. 

"Thank you, sir."

When Hagrid and Four come out of Gringotts they decide after looking at the supply list to go to Madam Malkins. Hagrid waits outside, while Four enters the shop. She sees a dark haired boy in the waiting area. 

"Hiya, my name is Lee, Lee Jordan"

"Hi, my name is Four," she replies quietly. 

"Are you going to Hogwarts?" to that Four nods her head, her blue hair falling into her eyes, "What house are you hoping for?". 

"I really dunno, I kinda want to go to Gryffindor, but I dunno if I am Gryffindor material"

"Same here, my mom thinks I'll be a Hufflepuff, my dad, well he thinks I'll be a Ravenclaw like him" They sit in silence for a minute, Lee occasionally looking at her. 

"Okay I have a few questions, one why is your hair blue and two why is your name Four?"

"My hair is blue because it is my favorite color and my name is Four cause I like it, it started as kinda a joke but is stuck"

"Oh, okay" Madam Malkins calls us a few seconds later. Four asks her what robes are the cheapest and sturdiest. She points her in the direction of some premade robes. She goes to the very end of the rack, the smallest is much too large for her. She puts it on and Madam Malkin tells her she will make it smaller for free, which is a relief for Four.

Around ten minutes later Four walks outside and meets up with Hagrid, who had gotten her books while she was waiting. They walked toward the cauldron shop and the apothecary to get the supplies for potions. 

Once they had everything it was finally time for a wand, Four had been looking forward to this. She thought it would finally make her feel like a real wizard. Hagrid saw her excitement, her hair rapidly shifting colors. "Calm down Four, the wand will not wander away."
