I walked into the shopping street again and I noticed there weren’t a lot of people on the streets anymore. I walked around a little more and patted some owls I passed a shop with books and stepped inside. The woman behind the counter looked at me but nodded friendly. I walked up to her and smiled at her.

“Can you help me please?” I asked her politely she nodded and walked up to me.

“Where do you need help with young lady.” She asked me, she looked around probably searching for a parent so I had to play it out.

“I can buy a book with spells for beginners so I can practice at home.” I said innocently. She looked at me.

“Aren’t you a little too young to receive a wand and to learn spells?” she asked. Really I am 9 almost 10 how old do you have to be? Well now I have to lie about the wand I received. Great!!

“I received a wand special for young children today and my mom went to buy some potion ingredients for a potion for my dad so I to go here and ask you about the book of spells. Don’t you have it anymore?” I asked and pouted my lips. She smiled.

“Yes I know now what you meant my apologies about the misunderstanding young lady. I’ll get it for you.” The lady walked away and I looked around the shop. It was quite a lovely shop with lots of books. The lady came back and handed me the book with spells and she walked to the counter.

“Shall I wrapped it in?” I shook my head and pointed to my bag and she nodded.

“Well that is 1 galleon and 2 sickles please.” I went with my hand in my bag and grabbed some money they used here and placed it on the counter. The lady grabbed it and shoved money what was not needed back to me.

“Well have fun with it young lady and have a good day.” I grabbed the book and waved at her.

I walked into another shop with all kinds of sweets and bought some. I walked out of the shop and stuffed my things I just bought away and then I walked to the street again I smiled because this is such a happy day but my smile faded when the dark clouds started to show up again and I knew it was really bad news. I walked around looking for a hiding place and after looking around I saw a little alley where I could hide. I ran to the alley and stayed again leaning at the brick wall.
