The goblins managed to calm down and decided to subtly mention it to the wizarding folks. Holly asked Foaly to make sure it didn't get too wild.

After that was done they said goodbye to the goblins as they went back to the crowded streets.

"We should get books first, then clothes, other school stuff, and then wands" Artemis listed it off as he walked to the bookstore.

"Hey Artemis, how do you think we'll survive magic school. We're not exactly wizards" Holly followed Artemis into the store. She felt an urge to go get her wings just to reach the top.

Artemis headed towards the desk and started to ask about where the first year books are. While he was talking to the guy, Holly saw a bushy haired girl begging for more books.

Artemis soon came back holding two copies of the books. "We should go get trunks next" They did everything on the list till the only thing left were the wands.

When they entered, an old guy appeared out of nowhere. "First years?" He questioned before shaking his head. "Of course you're first years" He ushered one of them over. Holly collected her courage and went to go get a wand. The old man measured her arm and started to go through different wands. When Holly was given a new wand she was told to swish it. After like 10 wands she finally got one where the magic just clicked. "Ah yes, Holly Wood 7 inches, Dragon Heartstring" Holly stared at the wand before turning to Artemis.

"Your turn" Artemis elegantly strode up to the man. The man did the exact same as he did to Holly. After 4 wands a small rose pops out before disappearing. "Interesting, Vine wand, 8 inches, Phoenix Feather. That will be ten galleon" Artemis pulls out the money and pays.

When they exit the store Artemis checks the list again. "It seems we have everything that is necessary for the school. Although I don't understand why I can't wear my suit" Artemis started to walk to the exit.

"Is the great Artemis Fowl pouting" Holly teased as she caught up with him. Saying that caused him to glance at her.

"The day I pout is the day I find out this was all a hallucination from a child" He turned to look back before he knocked into someone. It was a tall man with blond hair. He seemed to hold himself like a noble. A smaller version of him also seemed to be there. He seemed to hold himself the same way, only a little shyer which only a person used to holding themselves like that could notice. "I'm sorry sir, I looked away for a second" Artemis held himself from when Holly just met him.

"Watch out next time. Come on Draco we need to get your robes" The man swished away. The boy- Draco quickly followed his dad after quickly glancing at Artemis.

"Well that was the most silent battle I have ever seen" Holly commented as she started to walk away.

"Well you have obviously never seen any of my business deals" Artemis commented as they walked out of the magical world to get to another more magical world.

It was finally the day they had to get to the train. As they walked through the station they were looking around trying to find the probably magic entrance. They saw the same boy they saw at the zoo. "We should talk to him" Holly started to drag Artemis over to the boy. "Hey!" She smiled as she hurried over to the boy. "Are you going to Hogwarts too?" She asked quietly. The boy nodded nervously. "Do you know the way to get to the school?" The boy shook his head. A ginger haired woman headed towards them.

"Are you three lost?" She was followed by a group of kids sharing her hair.

"Yes actually." Artemis looked at the woman. "We are looking for the entrance to get to Hogwarts. Guessing by your carts, you're wizards"

The woman seemed kinda surprised. "Oh well yes, just follow us dears" They stopped at a pillar between 9 and 10. More specifically the third pillar. "All you have to do is run towards it." Holly could see the magic surrounding it. She nods before running through with Artemis following close behind.
