The Forgotten House

Diagon Alley

My Pov

We arrived in London after a while. Harry read off what we needed for school and something told me couldn't find this stuff in London.

"Hagrid, how are we suppose to find these in London?" Harry asked.

"You can if you know where to look." Hagrid said. We walked towards a building. Hagrid opened the door and let me and Harry walk in first. I'm guessing this was some kind of tavern. We got close the the bar, when bartender caught sight of Hagrid.

"Ah Hagrid! The usual, I presume?" he asked.

"Sorry Tom. On official Hogwarts business." Hagrid said. He placed a hand around me and Harry. "Making sure young Harry and Holly here have all their school supplies." That's when a Tom's eyes widened.

"Bless my soul. It's Harry and Holly Potter!" Tom exclaimed. That's when the entire tavern went quiet. Everyone turned and looked at us. I felt a little uncomfortable being gawked at and shrunk a little behind Harry. A man came up to us and shook our hands.

"Welcome back Mr. and Ms. Potter. Welcome back." he said. We started walking through when a woman stopped us to shake our hands.

"Norris Crawford, Mr. and Ms. Potter. I can't believe I'm meeting you both face-to-face." she said. Then a man dressed a suit with a turban wrapped around his head approached us.

"H-Harry and H-Holly P-Potter. Can't tell you how pleased I am to meet you both." the man stuttered.

"Well, hello Professor. I didn't see you there." Hagrid said. He turned to us. "Kids, this is Professor Quirrell. He'll be you Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

"Nice to meet you." Harry said. He held out his hand to shake Professor Quirrel's, but he seemed too nervous to do so. Hagrid then lead me and Harry out to the back of the tavern.

"See, you two are famous." Hagrid said.

"Why are we famous? And how do all those people know who we are?" I asked.

"Not sure that I'm the person who should be telling you two that." Hagrid said. Hagrid took his umbrella and tapped on several bricks before the bricks swept away, revealing a alleyway filled with stores and people. "Welcome kids... told Diagon Alley." We all started walking and I took in everything. The stores, the people and the goods that sat outside the stores.

"Hagrid, how are we suppose to pay for this?" Harry asked.

"Neither of us have any money." I added.

"Well there's your money kids. Gringotts, the Wizarding Bank." Hagrid said. We went to the bank and found we had found we had been left a really large inheritance. After that, we went to Ollivander's. Hagrid said he had to take care of something. We walked in to the shop. We looked around before owner, Ollivander, slid out on a ladder. He looked at us and smiled.

"I was wondering when I'd see you both in here." Ollivander said. He slid off the ladder and started sorting through the wands. "Seems only yesterday your mother and father we're in here buying their first wands."

"How will we know which wand suits us?" I asked.

"You don't Ms. Potter. The wand chooses you." Ollivander said. After some trial and error Ollivander brought out a wand for Harry. As soon as the wand was in Harry's hand a strong wind surrounded him briefly. "Curious. Very curious."

"I'm sorry. What's curious?" Harry asked. Ollivander then tells Harry that a wand with a phoenix tail feather from the same phoenix that Harry's came from was the wand that gave us our scars. That's when Ollivander turned to me.

"Now for you, Ms. Potter." he said. He looked through several wands before I noticed the same look he got when he grabbed Harry's wand. He brought me a white box and took out the wand inside. It was a beautiful wand. He handed it to me and I felt a strong wind surround me.

"What was that?" I asked.

"Amazing!" Ollivander exclaimed. Harry and I looked at him. "This wand is made from willow wood, but it's core is the feather of a seemingly extinct creature known as an alicorn. There has only been one other wand like this in the world."

"Who was it?" we both asked.

"It is unknown what their name was as many people have forgotten they even existed, but I can you this; the owner was a Muggle-born witch and a very powerful one at that. And, as my grandfather told me, was supposedly a founder of Hogwarts." Ollivander said. Wow. We paid for our wands and thanked Ollivander. Then we heard tapping on the window behind us. It was Hagrid.

"Harry! Holly! Happy birthday!" Hagrid exclaimed. He had next to him two cages. One had a snowy owl and the other had a black fruit bat. Harry was given the owl, who he decided to name Hedwig, and I was given the bat, who I decided to name Noctis. We went to the other stores and got the rest of our supplies.

Ok, sorry if this was short. Next chapter, I'm going to introduce a family that some of you might be familiar with. Or at least one of them.
