In the dark times

diagon alley

I stood near the fireplace, floo powder clutched in my fist. I don't know why me being the fearless one all my life am having these nerves. My head was literally screaming,'turn away turn away!' But no I have to finish the task left incomplete that fearful night. Hell these nerves.

Someone tugged at my sleeve looking down I met the round eyes of a hesitance Dobby. It really was quiet comical considering Dobby only reached a little above my knees but still I have this respect for this little being for teaching me all the means of life which is magic. Wow it's great to live with magic.

"Amelia Potter should keep going now. " Dobby said.

I smiled a bit ,"is there a way to turn around?"

Dobby violently shook his head,"Dobby is following headmaster's orders, he must complete them"

I rolled my eyes,"Dobby you're a free elf now you don't have to follow the orders" it was true my brother Harry set Dobby free from the cruel hands of the Malfoys. A thing I am proud of.

"No Amelia Potter Dobby will do anything to protect the wizardry world, even if he must sacrifice himself"

Now I felt guilty, great beside being mischievous and smart now I am being selfish a new adjective to add in my already full dictionary.

"Fine then....." pulling over the hood I dropped the powder and loudly and clearly announced, "Diagon alley"

With that I was engulfed in green fire. It wasn't my first time with the floo network but still it left me all giddy that I normally would have dropped to the ground and embarrass myself in front of everyone but consider my surprise when I gracefully landed on the cobbled floor in the leaky cauldron.

A man whose name I assumed as tom appeared though I read it on the label pinned on his shirt I like to show I know everyone

"I wold like to enter diagon alley." I gracefully said.

Well he didn't once questioned my authority neither did I because his dark eyes was filled with so much misery and fear that it shook me to the core.
Guess the Voldy did succeed in planting the nuclear bomb of fear in everyone.

He touched his wand with the wall which to my amusement molllll inside and a gap bigger than a door appeared.

I bit my toungue a little harshly to bit back the thank you that was going to roll of my mouth. In this world now there were no things like thank you or sorry, there were just punishments and pain.

Upon entering I looked around most of the shops were closed, once lively bright colours or banners were now fading. The occasional Hogwarts students were only the one patrolling the streets. I can't blame them I mean there were only dark cloaked figures that I assume are death eaters were keeping a cautious eyes on every thing.

I almost snorted but right now I have much more important priorities like yes buying a wand. Even I would agree wand less magic was getting old and boring.

I stood outside a shop called Olivender or something because the name plate was all faded and old. With a shake of my hand I barged in the shop. But there were only piles of cardboard boxes and no one.

"Hello?" Someone drawled I almost jumped if not seeing the sight of an old thin man with haunting eyes as in literally they were all hollow. Does hollow eyes really exist?

"Wand I am assuming" he stated instead of asking, you ask weird I say yes.

"Yes sir" he looked me from head to toe before asking," you don't seem like a first year."

I shook my head, thanks Sherlock,"no sir I actually am a sixth year well you could say I am a transferred student" well for once I want to thank Dumbledore for coming up with such a great story.

He nodded before taking my measurements. "Okay tree this one, give it a flick"
He held out a wand," 13 inches dragon heartstring" I flicked it and the flower vase best.

"No not at all try this one yew wood 7 inches" I flicked it and all the boxes crumble on the floor.

"No not this either" he excitedly went in the back of the shop. Well it seems like costumers like me were quiet rare. He came back with many boxes and thrashed them on the desk ,"try these"

I flicked all of the, but non suited me. Boxes after boxes were being piled in front of me that olivender was barely visible.

With a last flick all the boxes in front of me crashed to the floor startling him. Wow my luck now I am gonna live my whole life wand less with wand less magic now I just want to go home. But Ollie was not done yet because once again he disappeared at the back of the shop.

I was on the verge of falling asleep when Ollie slammed a box in front of me startling me so much that I nearly fall back.

"I wonder......" he muttered mostly to himself handing me a wand," 7 inches phoenix feather......" I shut him down I wasn't interested in what the wand is until unless I get one for myself. I grudgingly flicked the wand and a flower popped out just like my eyes. He sweated finally I got my Prince Charming.

"Curious very curious..."

"Sir what is curious?" I asked

"Just that the Phoenix who's feather is in your wand only gave two other feathers . Your wand is the sister wand to the dark lords and Harry potters wand, you are destined for great things my dear."

I share the same wand as Harry. I rolled my eyes of course it's a twin thing or something.

I exit my shop and entered the rope shop when I bumped into someone. Rubbing my forehead I met eyes with a boy with white hairs and grey eyes,"watch where you're going" he snapped gaining the interest of many other spectres.

Definitely a Malfoy.
