The Eyes Of A Seeker

"Yeh have yeh letter?" Hagrid said, and Zoe nodded, double checking if she did bring it. It was another piece of paper along with the Hogwarts letter telling her that she's been accepted to study there. The second paper had all the things that they need. Zoe read it again,

"Can we buy all this in London?"
Zoe wondered aloud.

"If yeh know where to go" said Hagrid, winking at Zoe which made her giggle.

Harry and Zoe followed Hagrid, even though they have no idea where they were heading, Hagrid looks too sure to even glance at the street signs. Although Hagrid seemed to know where he was going, he was obviously not used to getting there in an ordinary way. He was used to magic transportation like the Floo Network, Apparition or using his flying motorcycle.

"This is it" said Hagrid, who stopped walking, "the Leaky Cauldron. It's a famous place I tell yeh"

But for Zoe, it doesn't look famous, she isn't even sure if it's safe in here. It was a tiny, grubby-looking pub and if Hagrid didn't tell them, they wouldn't have noticed that it was there before, the people hurrying by didn't even glance at it.

For a famous place, it was very dark and shabby. A few old women sitting in the corner, drinking tiny glasses of something Zoe has no knowledge of. One of them was smoking a long pipe. 

This place crept Zoe. These people are weird she thought, and she wasn't wrong, this is where some wizards and witches are, and people here were ought to be weird or different than the people you see every day walking on the street, having dinner at a restaurant. These people are WAY different. When the bartender noticed Hagrid, he smiled and waved at him, raising his glass, and said "The usual Hagrid?"

"Can't Tom, I'm on Hogwarts business," said Hagrid clapping his great hand on Harry and Zoe's shoulder making their knees buckle.

"Good lord, its Harry Potter!"
