The Rose

Chapter 4

Rosalie woke up the next morning. The sun shone through the small window, meaning the storm was over. Rosalie sat up and took the big coat from her, Harry was already sitting next to Hagrid eating. He handed Rosalie a sausage and she slowly ate.

"Get yer things we are leaving in a few," Hagrid said. Rosalie stood up and picked up her sweater, she put it on as she and Harry followed Hagrid out of the hut. They got in the small lifeboat and Hagrid used magic to row them towards land and away from the hut.

They walked in London. Harry and Rosalie both holding the list of things they would need for Hogwarts.

"Can we buy all this in London?" Rosalie asked looking up at Hagrid as he led them somewhere. "If you know where to go," Hagrid said and took them into a pub, that Rosalie had not noticed there. It was called 'The Leaky Cauldron'. "The Leaky Cauldron, A famous place," Hagrid said and led them inside.

Rosalie glanced around the pub. It was dark and shabby. There were a few old women sitting in a corner drinking something. One was smoking a long pipe. A man with a top hat was talking to the bartender, who was bald and looked like a toothless walnut. The buzz of chatter stopped when they entered. "The usual, Hagrid?" The bartender asked Hagrid.

"Can't, Tom. I'm on Hogwarts business." Hagrid said and dropped his hands on Rosalie and Harry's shoulders. The bartender looked towards Harry and Rosalie, the smile on his face turned into an expression of shock.
