When McGonagall explained some things to Sakura's parents, they finally understood what was going on. Here's a brief summary;

Sakura had magical potential since the day she was born, being able to identify and learn any memes in a split second. Her parents thought she was like that because they work as memers, people who produced memes for the internet and earned a living from it, they didn't know it was magic.

Dumbledore saw this and decided to enroll her into the school.

"We weren't always like this though," Sakura's father explained as he patted Sakura on the head, "Before, we used to be able to afford anything. But ever since some strange things happened, we lost quite amount of fortune, now we're back to square one."

"We're sorry that we can't buy the things on the booklist for our dear daughter." Sakura's mother bowed her head down sincerely.

"Oh it's quite fine, I think Hogwarts can help pay for your expenses." McGonagall said, Sakura's parents' eyes lit up and thanked her profusely.

Just like that, Sakura was off, McGonagall took out her wand and apparated to Diagon Alley with her.

She could tell everyone was busy trying to get school supplies, most of the people at Diagon Alley were kids. Some accompanied by adults, others on their own.

Not too far off the distance, she could see a strangely large man, he looked taller and larger than a regular human being. He seemed to be walking with someone else, but she couldn't see who.

McGonagall beckoned Sakura to follow her and so she did, forgetting about the tall man.

They both entered a shop that seemed to be for wands, a man stood behind a counter and was talking with someone. A girl her age, who had odd accessories in her hair, an icicle and snowflake, her hair was tied back and poofy white. She looked pale and stern, her eyes shining cold blue.

"9 inches, snowflakes of broken dreams." The man handed the wand to the girl, who took it warily and did a flick. Sakura didn't know how to tell if a wand was a correct wand, but she guessed from the girl and man's reaction, the wand was perfect.

The girl was just about to leave when she met eyes with Sakura, Sakura waved excitingly at her but the girl only looked away rudely. She seemed flustered.

"Hello, Ollivander, we need a wand for this young witch." McGonagall gestured to Sakura, who stared at the man, Ollivander, with curious but excited eyes.

Ollivander nodded and went to get a box, he took out the wand and handed it to Sakura. "11 inches, unicorn horn and hair. Just give it a flick, my dear."

Sakura did as she was told, flicking the wand swiftly. She knew this was the right wand, she felt it in her
guts, and it seemed her guts were right. Ollivander smiled and waited for payment, Sakura flicking the wand more playfully.

"Stop playing, we must continue to get your other things." McGonagall said sharply, Sakura stopped in embarrassment and scurried along with the professor.

As the two witches got the books, Sakura passed by a shop that sold animals like owls and toads. Sakura physically stopped to stare at a kitten, she recognized it as a Scottish fold and wanted it badly.

McGonagall noticed this and turned to look at the kitten, she sighed and handed Sakura some galleons, letting her buy the kitten. Sakura's eyes twinkled in happiness and rushed into the store, coming out soon with a cute kitten that had grey fur and black eyes.

Once they were done shopping for Sakura's items, they went back to Sakura's small house to drop off the things. Just as McGonagall was about to leave, Sakura asked for one last request.

"Can I bring my phone into Hogwarts?" Sakura held up her pink phone, the phone itself was rose gold and the phone cover was pastel pink. McGonagall took a moment to register the question before answering with an "Okay."

"Hand me your... phone." McGonagall said, Sakura did what she was told, McGonagall whispered a silent spell and tapped the phone. "Check your Mobile Data and Storage, I'll be off then."

McGonagall apparated away, leaving Sakura confuzzled. She checked her data and storage and realised it had an infinity sign. She gasped and squealed. McGonagall had officially became her favourite professor.
