It Wasn't Even Love Potion!

Chapter Two: Flight to Diagon Alley

Later that same day while out walking, I decided to go tell my best friend Natalie. I hope she wouldn't think I'm completely mental or something..

I texted her before hand but she didn't reply so I just went over. I knocked four time and then she abruptly opened the door.

"Hi Natalie!"

"Hey Nicole come in! So what's up?"

"Oh well I have to tell you something but you might think I'm crazy.."

"Oh my God really? Because I do too! But you first."

"Um well okay.. I got a letter in the mail yesterday for a school I got accepted to.. I didn't even know it existed.. And it's a school for witchcraft and wizardry.. And so I'm kinda a witch? I know that sounds weird bu-.."

She had the biggest smile on her face.

"Nicole I got one too!! I'm also a witch and were going to Hogwarts together!!"

"OH MY GOSH REALLY?!?!! THAT'S AMAZING NATALIE!! NOW WE CAN GO TOGETHER AND I DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE.  Wait is one of your parents a witch or wizard?"

"No.. It was really weird when I got it.. Are one of your parents?"

"Yea actually my dad was! I had no clue. My mom told me I'm a half-blood because well he was and she wasn't so half and half. But you're muggle born which means both of your parents are muggles and I have no clue ho-.."

"Yea but what's a muggle?!

" Oh sorry it's a non-magical person.."

"Ohh. That's strange but we'd better get used to strange.. That list is something else..

" Oh my gosh I know tell me about it! My mom and I are going later.. BUT SINCE NOW YOU'RE A WITCH TOO WE SHOULD GO TOGETHER NATALIE!!"

"YES WE SHOULD!!! I'll ask!! One sec!"

"Okie dokie!"

After she came back she said we could go together but her parents wanted to come. So we all went together later and went to downtown London to a place called the Leaky Cauldron. It was apparently a secret entrance to Diagon Alley according to my mom. When we walked inside, it was really dark and smokey. Like an old time pub type of place. But Natalie and I both thought it was amazing. This whole thing was going to be amazing.

**

We asked the last at the bar how to get there and she seemed to know that we were looking for Diagon Alley because without even asking how to get there because she led us to a small room made of bricks. The pulled out a stick that o assumed had to be a wand because after she tapped particular bricks, the wall started to pull itself apart almost. Me and Natalie stood in awe, bit it was nothing compared to what our faces looked like after the entrance way to Diagon Alley opened and a small city with crumbly brick roads and little shops with a bunch of odd things we've never seem before. The lady recommended we go to the bank first so we have actual money and then go around shops. She recommended a good burger and ice cream place to try for our first 'wizard food'. She admitted it would better than the bars.. We thanked her a bunch and she left through the entrance way back to the Leaky Cauldron and the bricks came back together to form a big brick wall and looked perfectly normal like it hadn't just been practically torn apart. I thought that was amazing.

We walked down the crumbly brick road to the direction of the bank the lady pointed to us. We could miss it. It was a huge, clean, white granite building with weird goblin looking things guarding the door. We walked inside the bank and it was HUGE. There was granite counters and walls and stone poles. Goblin looking things were working at the counters. We didn't know where to go so we asked the nearest human and they told us: "Go straight down to the biggest desk and that goblin should be able to help you."
