The Wizarding World || SGE fanfic

Chapter 1 ~ Diagon Alley

Tedros walked through Diagon Alley with his mother and the ogre (otherwise known as Lancelot) following closely behind.

His father did magic around the home but he hadn't been to Diagon Alley, since he was a student at Hogwarts. His father didn't keep many ties to the wizarding world anymore, so he would not be bidding him farewell at platform 9 3/4.

They walk through the crowd, towards Mr. Deauville's wand store. Past gossiping witches, cages of creatures and boys ogling the latest broomstick.

"Why don't you go on in, darling?" Gwen said. "We just have one thing to do here."

Tedros nodded and turned to the store.

When he entered the store it was very cluttered and messy, with papers tacked to shelves and boxes covering the walls.

"Hello?" Tedros called. He walked up and stood at the counter.

Mr. Deauville slid on a ladder across shelves and smiled down at him. "I wondered when I'd be seeing you mister Pendragon."

He climbed off his ladder and turned to the shelf of wands behind him, running his finger along the boxes, trying to find the perfect one.

"Do you... know my father?" He questioned.

Deauville nodded. "Seems only yesterday he was in here buying his first wand." He pulled a box out of the shelf and put the box on the counter. He opened it and handed Tedros the wand.

Tedros stood and held it up.

"Well give it a wave!" Mr. Deauville said.

He did and shelves started to evict drawers to the floor.

He placed the wand down.

"Apparently not." Said Deauville. He took a step back up his ladder to reach a higher box. "Perhaps this."

Tedros took the wand from him and waved it.

A vase on a book case shattered, sending glass and water over the floor.

"No!" Deauville exclaimed and retreated into the labyrinth of wand cases.

He returned with a black box, that he had half opened.

He handed Tedros the wand.

He felt an instant connection. It was like the wand was part of his arm. He knew it's thoughts. It knew his.

Candles flickered in the counter, he felt wind blow through his hair, but he saw no open windows.

"I believe we've found the one." The man said.

They heard a knock on the window. Tedros spun to see his mother and Lancelot holding and bird cage with a gorgeous owl with brownish feathers perched inside.

That's what they wanted to get done.

Tedros walked with his mother and the ogre through Kings Cross Station, wheeling his cart with the bird inside.

"Now, the train will be leaving in 10 minutes sharp." Guinevere handed Tedros the ticket that read:

London to Hogwarts
For ONE WAY travel
Platform 9 3/4

He wasn't totally sure that his mother knew how to get to the platform. She had never attended Hogwarts, therefor never been to the platform. Lancelot's son had attended Hogwarts, getting his magic from his mother's side. Lancelot was never truly involved enough to go to the platform before. But Tedros did know that you had to go through a wall, and he was sure he'd notice people running into a wall.

Lancelot's son had attended Hogwarts, getting his magic from his mother's side. Lancelot was never truly involved enough to go to the platform before.

When they came to a conductor Lance stopped to ask. "Could you please direct us to platform 9 3/4?"

The conductor scoffed a laugh. "Platform 9 3/4? Good one!"

Lance looked confused.

"This place is always packed with muggles!" Said a women's voice. Their ears perked and they turned towards a mother and a daughter. They each had matching black hair along with large brown eyes.

They followed the two to the wall where platform 9 and 10 met.

They daughter looked nervous.

"Oh, don't be like that, Agatha!" The mother said. "Even Reaper can do it!" A bald cat emerged from under the women's skirt. It stretched its back and proceeded to run full speed into the wall.

Tedros grimaced as it made contact and ran straight through.

"Excuse me!" Tedros said.

The two turned. "Um, could you tell me how..."

"How you get onto the platform?" The woman nodded. "It's Agatha's first time to Hogwarts too!"

The girl smiled awkwardly at him and he returned it.

"Now all you've got to do is run straight at the wall between platforms 9 and 10."

Tedros looked ahead at the wall.

"Best do it at a bit of a run." The women added.

Tedros glances at his mother and stepfather, who gave encouraging smiles.

Tedros turned ahead and ran for the wall. He closed his eyes when he came inches away, he expected to hit it and get pushed to the ground- but he traveled clean through and into the other side
