Bri's Pov

The following day I decided to go to Diagon alley like Dumbledore said. I checked over the directions as I walked to the Leaky Cauldron which would lead me to Diagon Alley. Studying my surroundings, I quickly came to see the tables, chairs and of course the bar.

It must be some sort of pub and hotel I thought. The Leaky Cauldron was packed with people who I assumed were witches and wizards too. I glanced the door that the professor told me I would need to go through. Making my way over to the bar tender, I had to squeeze and push through the crowd.

"Hello, my name is Bri. I was told by Professor Dumbledore that someone here would help me to get into Diagon Alley." I stated to the bartender. The bartender glanced up at me and smiled nodding his head before speaking.

"Yes, my name Tom, right this way." After hearing the man's name, I flinched at the fact he had the same name as my father. He shifted through the crowd quickly as I tried to hurriedly keep up. Tom made his way in front of a brick wall, and tapped the brick that was three up, two across, he tapped three times after taking a step back. "There you go, welcome to Diagon Alley. Enjoy." Tom then made his way back inside.

I gasped as I walked through down the cobbled street, there was so many colourful and peculiar shops. I knew I should get my stuff for school before I explored though. I glanced at my list which was probably the hundredth time I'd done that.

I finally decided to start with my robes. Looking around I saw a man with long pale white blond hair who wore black robes and had a cane in his hand, a young boy who looked similar to the man stood next to the man it looked as if they were about to enter the shop closest to them. Drawing closer I caught some of their conversation. Such as Robes, Madam Malkin's Robes for all occasions and Draco. Curious I thought, the boy seemed as if frightened of the man I assumed was his father but he also looked as if he wanted to make his father proud.
