Blaire's POV
September 16,1990
I looked around the shops at Diagon Alley in awe as mum lead us the way to the bank.
"Ah, here it is." she says at last as we climbed up the stairs to a building called Gringotts, which I supposed was the wizarding bank.
"This place is big." I said as we entered and looked around the building in awe.
"Those are goblins by the way." Draco said, pointing around the creatures working behind the tall wooden counters.
"Wow, that's cool." I said with a grin.
"Let's get your card Blaire." mum said and lead us to one of the counters without a line.
"Good morning, are you going to take your cards?" the goblin asked and peered down at us.
"Yes, Andrea, Blaise and Blaire Zabini, also Draco Malfoy's." mum said and gestured to the three of us.
The goblin looked at us with narrowed eyes and nodded.
"Very well, here you go." it said and four white cards, which looked very much like credit cards, appeared at the counter.
"Thank you." mum said and took the cards.
"Are those credit cards mum?" I asked her as she distributed the cards to their respectful owners.
"They aren't but they act like one here at the wizarding world." she explained.
"Oh okay." I said as mum ushered us out the bank.
"Where are we going first mum?" Blaise asked as we walked down the stairs.
"Ollivanders, then you three could go anywhere you want." mum explained.
"Awesome!" Blaise exclaimed and jumped from the last step.
Mum leas us through the crowded streets of Diagon Alley until we came to a stop in front of Ollivanders.
"Come in now, the three of you." mum said and opened the door.
We stepped inside the store and I looked at the shelves full of thin, long boxes, which I suppose had wands inside, with awe.
"Good morning." a voice said behind the counter and I jumped in surprise.
"Hello Mr. Ollivander, we would like to get some wands please." mum said as an old man emerged from the counter.
"Oh! It's the twin Zabinis and the Malfoy heir!" the man I supposed was Ollivander exclaimed.
"Hello." I said timidly.
"Oh I'll get the wands I think are the perfect fit for you three eh?" Ollivander said with a wink and disappeared into the back of the shop.
After a minute, he came back with three boxes which contained the wands and opened the first one.
"Come here Ms. Zabini. I think this is the one for you," Ollivander said and handed me the wand. "Dragon heartstring, blackthorn, brittle and 11 inches." he said.
I looked at the wand in awe and waved it around, just as I read in a book back at home.
The wand wasn't right for me as the glass vase containing a dead flower broke.
"Nope, I don't think this is the one." Ollivander muttered.
He opened the second box and handed the wand to me.
"Here you go. Unicorn hair, acacia, fairly bendy and 12 inches." he said.
I gave it another wave and this time, it hit one of the shelves and the boxes flew out of it.
"Not this one either." Ollivanded mumbled under his breath as he opened the third and last box.
"This is the perfect one for you. Phoenix feather, rosewood, stiff and 11 inches." he said and handed me the wand.
As I held the wand, I felt power run through my veins and as I waved it, sparks of gold erupted from the tip of the wand.
"Aha! It's the one! Now, let's move on to you two." Ollivander said happily and disappeared at the back of the store.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Thank you Mr. Ollivander." mum said as we finished paying for the wands.
"Anytime." Ollivander said with a smile and disappeared at the back of the store again.
The four of us walked out the store to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour.
As we entered, mum bought us ice cream and sat at a table near the corner.
"So the three of you, where do you want to go?" mum asked us.
"I want to go to a bookstore mum." I said and ate a scoop of ice cream.
"Draco and I want to buy a broom mum!" Blaise said.
"No! You are not buying a broom! Not until you two are at the teams, okay?" mum said sternly.
Blaise and Draco slumped their shoulders and sighed.
At this I giggled.
"How about we buy owls mum?" I suggested, and at this both of them sat uprights and looked at mum expectantly.
"Good idea Blaire. You three go Flourish and Botts then after you go to Eeylops Owl Emporium. I'll just wait here for you guys." mum explained.
We nodded in agreement and hurried to finish our ice cream so that we can go early.
"I'm done." I said after finishing the last scoop of ice cream.
"Let's go! Bye mum see ya!" Blaise said and we waved mum goodbye.
"What are you going to buy at Flourish and Botts anyways?" Draco asked me as we walked out the shop and headed towards Flourish and Botts.
"New books. I still don't have any of Lockhart's books." I said simply and went inside the almost empty bookshop.
"Lockhart? Don't tell me you're obsessed with him too!" Blaise exclaimed and threw his hands up in the air.
I leant closer to Blaise and whispered to his ear.
"I'm not obsessed with him. It's just that his books are interesting." I whispered.
I leant back from him and walked to a nearby bookshelf which had all Lockhart's books.
I happily took one of every copy and just as I was about to take a copy of Magical Me, Draco stepped beside me and whispered in my ear.
"He's obsessed with Lockhart Blaire. Just like Pansy, he's too embarrassed to admit it." he whispered and as he leant back I giggled.
"Really?" I asked turned around to face him, surprised to see that he's got a pile of books in his arms too, except it wasn't Lockhart's.
He nodded in agreement and smiled sheepishly.
"I've got an idea for another prank." I whispered in his ear with a smirk as we walked towards the counter with Blaise on the lead, trying to hide Lockhart's books from view.
