omega at Hogwarts

3

When I wake up Harry and Hagrid are already up and talking. I quickly get ready and meet them at the door before we all clamber into an old boat. Hagrid and Harry talk on the way but I pull out the only book I brought with me - Alice in Wonderland instead. 

When the boat stopped we all clambered out and I found myself walking in-between the two as we made our way to the London underground. I was very happy to laugh when Hagrid got stuck trying to get through the ticket barrier and his chuckle in response calmed down any remaining nerves I had and as such I clung to his side. 

When we came out Hagrid took up to a place called the leaky cauldron. When we walked in an older man at the bar asked, "The usual Hagrid?"

"Can't Tom, I'm on Hogwarts business'." Hagrid responds. 

"What about for the Omega, can I get ya anything sweetpea, on the house." I am about to say no when my eyes catch a picture of some kind of cookie, chocolate, caramel milkshake like creation that made my mouth water. "on sweet-tooths delight coming right up." Tom says and before I can process a response the drink is in-front of me in a takeaway cup. 

"Thankyou." I say quietly but he just smiles and turns back to my brother and Hagrid. 

His eyes land on Harry's forehead and he freezes. "good lord. Is this- can this be-" Everyone went silent. "Bless my soul..... Harry Potter, what an honor. And you must be Arianna Potter, truly incredible." I blush and hide myself in Hagrid's jacket while sipping my heavenly drink. "Welcome back Potter twins, Welcome back. " 

Lots of people rush towards us and I bury myself deeper into Hagrid's cloak, hiding myself from their view. I only reemerge when we start moving again. "Told yeh, didn't I? told yeh you were famous. even professor Quirrell was trembling to meet ya, mind you, he's always trembling." 

"Is he always that nervous?" Harry asks. Hagrid rambles off an answer in response that I don't follow before he taps his umbrella to a brick in the wall before us causing it to open up to a busy street. 

"Welcome, to Diagon Alley." We start to walk down the street, my eyes flittering every which way. We pass by a cauldron shop and Hagrid tells us we'll need one after we get some money. We continue past several stores until we reach the end of the road where a huge old white building sits. "Gringotts."  Hagrid announces. "Yeah that's a goblin." Hagrid says as we pass one of the guards.  "you'd be mad to try and rob it." 

inside there are even more Goblins on tall pedestals. "Morning, we've come to take some money out of Mr. Harry Potter's and Miss Arianna Potter's safe." Hagrid says for us as we arrive at one of said pedestals. 

"you have their key sir?" the goblin asks. 

"Got it here somewhere." Hagrid says as he rummages around for said item. "got it." he declares after a moment.  

the goblin takes said key and examines it. "Everything appears to be in order." 

"I've also got a letter from Dumbledore. It's about you-know-what in vault seven hundred and thirteen." 

The conversation continues until we are lead off by another goblin where we all clamber into a rickety cart. My eyes go wide and a nervous smile becomes fixed to my face at the roller coaster like experience the cart entails, Also very glad they wouldn't let me bring my drink. When Griphook - the goblin with us- opens our vault me and Harry both freeze. It is filled to the brim. 

Hagrid begins to explain how the money works but I tune him out and instead step further inside. My eyes land on a necklace on one of the piles, the only thing in here that isn't money. "What's this?" I ask Hagrid, hoping he knows. 

"That, it was a gift from James to Lily on their first date." I pick up the necklace and realize it is actually a locket. I gently open it and find a picture of the two holding me and Harry on one side and a mirror on the other. I shut it and slip it over my neck before gathering some money. 

After we leave the vault we go to vault seven hundred and thirteen where Hagrid takes the only item inside and then we go back up to the top where another Goblin hands me back my drink making me smile and take another sip of the heaven. We go to Madam Malkin's robes for every occasion which is where Hagrid leaves us, the cart at Gringotts making him sick. 

Upon entering, an older women - who i presume is Madam Malkin- ushers us in asking if we are going to Hogwarts to which we nod and then she promptly separates us sending me into another room with an assistant to get fitted privately while Harry joined the other boy already here. After getting fitted I purchase several sets of robes and some normal clothes too, of higher quality than my current ones before returning to Harry. 

I find him outside with Hagrid eating ice-cream and smile when I am handed my own. We made our way to Flourish and Blotts, a wizarding bookstore and I decided I didn't ever want to leave. Luckily Hagrid had brought a bag with some kind of extension charm on so that I could buy all of the books I wanted, which was almost never ending, the owners were VERY happy to meet me. 

We go around to several more stores before going to the owl store to get a pet, we could each have one. Hagrid brought Harry an Owl but I told him that during my first year I wanted to focus on school instead of pets so he promised to buy me an even better birthday gift later. 

finally it was time to get wands and we headed over to a store called Ollivanders. When we walked in Hagrid went and sat down while me and Harry stayed standing. "good morning." A soft voice says and we both turn to face the old man before us. 

"hello." Harry greets and I just smile. 

"Ah, yes yes, I thought I'd be seeing you two soon. Harry and Arianna Potter." 

"Ari is fine." I say softly.

"You both have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wand. Ten and quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wand for charm work." He comes closer. "Your father on the other hand, favored a mahogany wand. Eleven inches. pliable. A little more power and excellent for transfiguration. well, I say your father favored it- it's really the wand that chooses the wizard of course." 

"And that's where," He trails off as he points to Harry's scar. "I'm sorry to say I sold the wand that did it. Thirteen and a half inches. Yew. Powerful wand, very powerful and in the wrong hands, well, if I'd known what that wand was going out into the world to do..." Ollivander shakes his head and steps away and turns to Hagrid. 

"Rubeus! Rubeus Hagrid! How nice to see you again.... Oak, sixteen inches, rather bendy, wasn't it?" 

"it was, sir, yes." 

"Good wand, that one. But I suppose they snapped it in half when you got expelled?" He asks sternly. 

"Er, yes they did, yes. I've kept the pieces though." He responds brightly. 

"but you don't use Them." Ollivander stressed. 

"oh no sir." Hagrid responds quickly. Ollivander brushes it off and turns to harry. The older man asks him some questions and then goes to find a wand. After several very wrong wands Harry finds his true one. His first wand which is the brother to the one that killed our parents. 

After he is finished he turns to me and asks me the same things. I try several wands and nothing is bad about them, they all treated me well but I just knew none of them were MY wand. Ollivander takes a moment to pause before he goes back to get another wand, not returning for quite a while. "Try this one." He opens the box to show me a light wooded wand with a vine like patten on it. 

I gently take the wand from its box and am filled with warmth. "hmm." Ollivander says before I turn to look at him. Willow wood, eight and a quarter inches, thunder bird tail feather. An unusual core indeed. Good from transfiguration." He explains and I decide to do some more detailed research from the book on wand-lore I had brought earlier. We pay for the wands and then promptly leave. 

"One last store to go." Hagrid says and I furrow my brows, knowing we have gotten everything on the list. We keep walking until we reach a less populated area and stop Infront of a store called nesting and when I step inside I know I have found heaven.

Stole the idea of nesting store from another book. xxx
