They all went inside. The house was much bigger inside more than it looked outside. It was as if the space has doubled up inside. It was very beautiful. The house was even taller than it appeared from outside. The walls were painted like flowers and leaves. There was a big chandelier hanging from the ceiling which was emitting a very beautiful and lively light. All the furniture was made of wood.

Cathy was sitting inside. She was wearing a black cloak and a cone-shaped hat. She waved a wooden stick which was in her hand and the books lying on her table flew back to the book shelve.

"Mom! We have a problem here," Lily said spoke slowly.

Cathy turned around and her mouth fell down. After a moment, she uttered, "how did you get here Amy?" Cathy asked.

"I am sorry aunt Cathy, but I saw Lily come at this place two times and I got curious. So I followed them here," Amy answered timidly.

"But this place is visible only to witches and wizards. Does it means that you too are a witch!" Cathy exclaimed.

"Umm yes, aunt Cathy," admitted Amy.

"Well my mother was also a witch and so am I, but your mother wasn't. So I really had thought that you also will be a witch. And see I am right!" Cathy said happily.

"So aunt, this isn't a problem then?" Amy said, relieved.

"Not at all my dear! There are many new witches who are being trained and you can also be trained with them," Cathy explained happily.

"What? Mum! Are you serious! Now Amy will also be with us?" Lily exclaimed happily.

"Yes dear," Cathy replied. Now you both go and show Amy around and yes, buy her a wand and some cloaks," Cathy told the three of them.

"Yes, Mrs Brown," Anne answered.

They all went outside the house.

"Wow, Amy! You too are a witch! It's such a good surprise," Gilbert said.

"And I am shocked to hear that you all know magic like me and it's not only you, there are so many more people like you. I am so happy to finally come to a place with people like Amy," Amy dances happily.

"Oh Amy, you look so happy," Gilbert said. "We are sure that you will like your new life. There is so much that you have to see and learn."

"But first, we have to buy a wand for you. Follow us Amy," Lily said as she escorted Amy.

They all stopped in front of a big tree and pressed its trunk and a big door was formed. They all went inside it.

"Are all the entrances formed like this only? From the tree trunks?" Amy asked.

"Yes Amy, most of the entrances are formed like this only except a few important ones," Anne replied.

There were various shops there, all lined along with each other. There were many people around that place, most of them wearing cloaks.

They all stopped inside a big shop which was named 'The Olivanders'.

'This is the best shop which makes wands," Gilbert told Amy.

"Oh! But I don't have money! How can I buy anything?" Amy realised.

"Don't worry Amy, mom gave me some coins to buy things for you," Lily replied, showing her a handful of gold coins.

"Thank you so much," Amy thanked Lily and they all went inside.
