"mom, we're going to be late! Quickly, we need to get to diagon alley to get my stuff otherwise we'll be to late!" I shout as I jump on my mom repeatedly. "Come on!" I shout one last time as I jump as I land on him my knee slips and crushes his privates.

"Sorry!" I scream quickly getting off him as he shoots up and clutches his crotch. "I'm really sorry" I repeat looking at him waiting for a reply. "I-it's fine" he groans out slowly getting up. He casts the Tempus charm and starts rushing around his room getting ready.

"Harley hurry up, get dressed. We're gonna be late" he says while finishing getting ready and looking at me "nevermind" he says looking at me. "Do you like it, mommy?" I ask him giving a twirl.

"Yes you look gorgeous, now let's go, Kay?" He replies walking past me and out the room. I decided to wear my favourite black tank top, a pair of dark blue denim shorts, a red plaid shirt tied around my waist, black tights, a pair of red sneakers and a dark blue denim jacket. Since it's summer I decided to do my hair half up half down since it's too short to do anything else.

I follow my mom to the fire place and we floo to diagon alley.

When we arrive we get a lot of weird looks, probably because of my choice of clothing. "Were to first?" My mom asks taking the list out of his pocket. "How about we split up and then we'll be done quicker?" I reply with another question. He laughs a little and nods.

After I finish getting my cauldron I head over to get my robes. I walk into the store and get more weird looks from the witches and wizards inside. "I'm here to get my Hogwarts robes fitted" I state to no-one in particular. "Right this way miss" she comments guiding me to the back.

We walked in and she placed me in-between two boys also getting their robes fitted. "Hi" I say giving the both of them a cheerful smile and climb up onto the stool in-between the two.

"Hey" the boy with brown hair answered giving me a slight smile. "Hello, miss" the blonde boy said giving a slight bow "The name's Malfoy. Draco Malfoy" he continues. Malfoy... Mom told me about the Malfoy's, a powerful pure-blood family that had some history with the dark lord.

"Pleasure to meet you" I give a slight curtsey just to be polite. "And you are?" He questions raising a brow. "Harley. Harley Lupin" I answer. "So you're a half blood, your family went off the map over 2 decades ago so that's the only explanation" he stated matter of factly. "Well, yes?" I say slight uncertainty in my voice.

"And you're wearing Muggle clothes?" He asks slightly disgusted. "Well no shit" I state angrily. "No wizard or witch would be able to pull this outfit off, yet I look absolutely fabulous" I continue proudly.

"That you do" they both comment just above a whisper. "Mr. Malfoy? Your robes are finished." One witch says. "I'll see you at school Harley" he says as he pays and leaves. "So you know who I am, who are you?" I ask turning to the other boy who has been very quite.

"Harry, Harry potter" he answers shyly. "Nice to meet you Harry" I say giving him a smile. "Harley!" A males voice rings through the shop. "Through here!" I shout back at him. My mom walks into the back where me and Harry are stood finishing up with our robes.

"Hey" I say once he's Infront of me "my little girl is growing up so fast" he complains looking at me. "Oh please, I still need to wait another 6 years to use magic out of school" I state rolling my eyes at him. I hear Harry try stifling his laughs from next to me.

My mom notices him and looks at him with very slight shock on his face but quickly covers it with a smile, "Remus Lupin, Harley's...farther." mom says expectantly. "Harry Potter, Harley's...uh..." He's lost for words not exactly sure of what to say. "New friend!" I beam at the two of them happily.

"Nice to meet you Harry, but Harley we really best be going" he says still smiling. "Yeah, yeah." I say quickly starting to walk off. "See you on the train tomorrow Harry!" I wave goodbye.

We arrive at Olivanders shortly and are greeted with an empty shop. "Ah! Welcome miss Lupin, pleaser to meet you, nice to see you again Mr Lupin." Olivander greats us walking in from the back room. "Hello Mr Olivander." I greet back politely.

"Here, try this wand" he says showing me an open box with a beautifully crafted 6 inch mahogany wood wand, I pick it up and it releases a bright spark that shoots into the wall leaving a mark. "Definitely not.........try this" he holds out a 9 inch birch wood wand with carved in roses, the same thing happens except this time there's a slight flame still going.

"Absolutely not!......how about....this one" he shows me a spruce wood 7 inch with a spiral design on the handle, I hold it and and a green flame shoots into the back room and nocks a bunch of boxes off the shelves. "That won't do."

We keep try more and more wands for what feels like forever. I just keep causing more of a mess. "This is a long shot but I think you should try this one" he says holding out a 10 inch serpent wood wand with snakes going up the wand, I slowly pick it up and nothing happens. I tilt it slightly and a slight breeze rushes past me and I feel tingles go up my arm and around my body.

"Very interesting." Olivander comments raising an eyebrow. "What is?" Mom asks him curiously. "It's a 10 inch serpent wood wand with a basilisk fang as it's core, it could be very powerful or very dangerous, and that is the only one of its kind, that I know of anyway" he says

"Oh, well okay then" we walk out the shop after mom pays and we go back home and I get ready for tomorrow. My excitement is overwhelming me.
