As I followed the professor down the rickety stairs I couldn't help but wonder how much my life was now going change.

I just didn't know how much.

As I stood at the bottom step leaning on the banister I couldn't help but hear into to the conversation that the professor was having with Mrs Beckett.

He was telling her that I had to come back at least for the summer holidays for the next seven years but I had to option of staying for the Christmas and Easter ones which I was glad at I knew already were I wished to stay.

Once they had finished Dumbledore turned around to face me.

"come now Bella" he said stretching out his arm "we must depart"

I hesitated for a few seconds because I was unsure of what to do then I realized that I had to place my hand on his arm for a some odd reason. Scrunching up my nose I placed my hand on his frail arm.

I can't explain the horrific sensation I felt. I was sure I had just left my stomach behind me back at the orphanage. When the feeling stopped I couldn't help but stagger forward and lean on a nearby brick wall trying my best not to throw up.

"You did exceptionally well apparating, most people vomit the first time" the professor said.

"Can't imagine why" I answered sarcastically.

To my annoyance the man only chuckled.

"Where even are we?" I asked him looking down at the dark rundown alleyway "this can't be Diagon alley.!?"

"No it's not Diagon alley, we just just have to nip in here for a few minutes" he said.

"Where?" I asked because all I  could see was an old bookshop and a black building named the leaky cauldron wait a minute that wasn't there before!?"

"Lady's first Miss Riddle Dumbledore said opening the door.

It was a crowded place inside with barely any light. The people at the bar slowly turned around and stared at us with shocked expressions on their faces. Whispers started as Dumbledore firmly gripped my shoulder.

"What do we owe the pleasure of having you here professor Dumbledore?" Asked the barman.

"Good Afternoon Tom I'm just taking Miss Riddle here to buy supplies for her first year" The professor replied.

The whispers started again to my dismay.

"Riddle? Did he just say Riddle"

"The rumors are true then! You know who really did have a child"

"She's beautiful! I never would have guessed you know who's daughter could be beautiful"

"Oh please your all over reacting Riddle is a very common muggle name"

But that was all I heard because Dumbledore and I had escaped the crowded inn before any of the comments got nasty. We had walked through a door which was located at the back of the pub.

I have to admit I was a bit downhearted I was hoping for something that would blow me away something really special.  To my dismay all I had gotten was a Ruddy, old, manky, disgusting, brick wall.

Wow so magical I thought sarcastically

"I was disappointed the first time as well Isabella" The professor said smiling.
