Malfoy Neighbors

A trip to a stange town-Year 1 chapter 3

Things to know:

You get to decide what your wand is made of and the length. If your not sure what to use for the wand you can use the wand that www.wizardingworld.com gives you.

"Time to get up for the day." Your father woke you up the next morning. It was already so bright out. You threw the blanket over your head and tried to go back to sleep. (n/n) snuggled up against you. He was such a snuggler.

"I should have named you Snuggles." You said sleeply, pulling the baby niffler into your arms. "Ok, I'm up." You threw the blanket off and got up.

"Are you ready to get your school stuff today?" Your mom asked at breakfast. You still didn't believe this farce they were pulling, but you went along with it.

"You have to stay home today (n/n), but we'll be home later. You be a good boy and stay out of stuff." You said to your niffler as if he could understand what you were saying.

You all got in the car. Your dad drove to an empty lot and parked, and met up with an old lady. She was dressed in a dark green, almost black, robe.

"Ms. (f/n)(l/n), I presume?" She asked looking stern.

"Y-yes." You said shyly. Your parents told you that they would pick you up later and left you with this old lady.

"I'm Minerva McGonagall." She said and started walking. You followed her not sure were you were going. "You will call me Professor McGonagall," she continued. "I am the deputy headmistress of Hogwarts School and the Transfiguration teacher."

You got to a wall and she took out a stick from her sleeve. McGonagall taped the wall with it and it opend like a sliding door, each side sliding away from the other to reveal a strange town. "Welcome to Diagon Alley." McGonagall said stepping through the opening.

You kept thinking this must be a dream. You thought, perhaps you fell alseep in the car and you were just having a stange dream. That Malfoy boy had put the notion of magic into your head, and it was just plan nonsense.

You continued to follow McGonagall into a shop called Oliveander's. There sure were a lot of old dusty, small boxes in this shop. It look as if the dust held the shop together.

"Oh hello there," An old voice came from behind a pile of boxes on the counter.

"Um... hi?" You replied back, not sure what to say to the voice. You couldn't see who was talking so you were a little cautious.

The pile of boxes then lifted off the counter top, and flew onto shelfs all around the shop. You were so enthused by what you just saw, that you didn't notice the old man standing on the other side of the counter.

"Olivander," McGonagall said sternly and both the old man and you looked at her. "We are here..." she was cut off.

"To get a wand!" The man said excitedly. He walked over a shelf and  stared at it.

A wand? This was definitely a dream. You were sure of it. As you stood there, thinking of a way to wake yourself up, the man reached up on the self and grabbed a box down.

Just then, you heard a bell from the shop door. You turned to see that Malfoy boy and his mean father walk in. You turned back the Oliveander who handed you a stick much like the one McGonagall used to open the wall. You took it and looked over at Draco. His father was looking at the boxes on the self. You saw Draco look at you and wave his arm like he was holding an invisible wand. You looked away and copied him. A small jet of blue light shot out and moved the dust off the counter top in front of you.

"Yes, I think that one will do." Olivander said, putting the wand back into it's box and handing it to you. You took the box and McGonagall gave the man some coins.

Mr. Malfoy didn't seem to notice you there. He walked right past you to the other shelf.

"Can I help you find something Mr. Malfoy?" Olivander asked him. He looked over at Olivander with a cold look and said something. You didn't hear what because Draco destracted you.

"Hi, (y/n)." He whispered as he followed his father. You didn't replay. You and McGonagall walked out of the shop.

"That wasn't normal money." You said, looking up at McGonagall still walking.

"Yes, you are quite right. " she said not looking at you. "It's not muggle money, but rather it's money from the Wizarding world." She then explaned how it worked.

"So how will I be able to pay you back for all my school supplies?" You asked .

"Don't worry about that, your parents have already given me they money to pay for what you need." McGonagall said with a smile.

'So she can smile.' You thought to yourself.

The two of you stoped at the shops you needed to in order to get all that was required for the year at Hogwarts. You kept seeing the Malfoys, although Draco seemed to be the only one to recognize you. His father seemed to be just as cold this time as he did the first time you met him.

The whole day went by and it was comming to an end. McGonagall had taken you back to the clearing were you first met her. As you stood there waiting for your parents to come back, McGonagall handed you a piece of paper. It was thick like card stock with gold foiling on it. It read platform 9 3/4.

"What's this?" You asked.

"Don't loose it, you will need it to get on the train to the school." She replied.

'Ok, but that didn't answer my question.' You thought. Just then your dad drove up.

"I will take her things to Hogwarts with me, they will be safe." McGonagall told your dad, who was still sitting in the car. You climbed into the back seat.

When you got home you ate dinner and went to bed hoping that this dream would end already.
