Eloise pov :

"So this is the beginning of the rest of my life?" I thought out loud. "Yeah it is, are you going to just stand around or are you going to help me carry these boxes." I hear someone say behind me, I turn around to see my sister with quite a few boxes in her hands. I sigh as she dumps some of the heavy boxes in my arms and leads me to the small house.
"Wow, it's, nice?" I say trying to look on the bright side of my situation. My hair turns a shade of green looking at the stains on the carpet. "Oh don't be such a baby Eloise, it's just a stain, sure it's a bit of a fixer upper but we will learn to love it in time." I walk down the hall to find my room, it was relatively nice, no nasty stains on the carpet so that was swell. I put down the boxes filled with my clothes and other random objects from my old room, And got to work.

"Hey Diana, when do I start school again?"
I say with a anxious look on my face. " Wow so prepared El, already forgot?" I glare at her while she giggle and continues to speak. "You start school next week, your hair is turning black again are you nervous?" "I don't want school to be miserable this time. So yeah I am Nervous." " Oh please I'm sure it wasn't that bad." My sister starts, "A girl went up to me speaking sign language because she thought I was mute." I smirk at my sisters dumbfounded face as she tries to find words to make me feel better. "Ok look Eloise, anyone who wouldn't want to be friends with you is insane, if you weren't my weird little sister and I met you at school, I would think you were alright!" "Thanks Diana." I mumble feeling even more nervous then I did before my sisters words of "encouragement" " Mom and dad would be proud, you know." I thought back to that horrific memory of my parents and their last moments. "Anyways, where are we gonna get school supplies?" I say quickly trying to change the subject. "Oh there's this place called Diagon Ally, the shops should have everything you need over there. "Thanks" I say to my sister as she gets out some floo powder for me to travel there.
********************************************
As I finally arrive in Diagon Ally, I look around to see tons of people walking in and out of shops, most of them were young kids like me going shopping for their next year at Hogwarts. I look at the list they sent, me I decided to go get my wand first, I had a wand at my old school, but it was owned by the school. My sister didn't have enough money to pay for my wand so my old school agreed to pay for mine, but when I moved schools they took it back from me. Now that my sister has her fancy new ministry job we can finally afford one of my own. I notice a shop in front of me called 'ollivanders wand shop' and decided that this must be the place. I walk into the shop and was instantly greeted with thousands upon thousands of wands sitting on shelves. I see a man and decided to greet him " Hi you must be Mr. Ollivander it's nice to meet you, I would like to have a wand please." " You are not from around here are you hm?" My hair turned yellow from slight embarrassment from the question, I didn't want people to just think of me as that American girl, I wanted people to think of me as a person. I can't blame him for being curious though so I just smile and say " oh yes, I'm from America." He smile back and points to my hair, " An American and a Metamorphmagus, people are going to be curious about you at Hogwarts." My hair turns black getting nervous again, school was always extremely difficult, I was always incredibly shy and it didn't help that I was a metaphorphmagus unable to control my emotions, every time I feel something, my hair matches the color I associate with that emotion, my hair is mostly blue which was my favorite color, I guess it's kind of my default hair color, I can't really do anything else that a metamorphmagus can do because I was never properly trained, my thoughts were interrupted by Mr.Ollivander speaking again " Well let's get you a wand shall we." After almost ten minutes of seeing what wand is right for me Ollivander pulls out one last wand, he seems sure that it would work perfectly, he pulls the wand of of its box and hands it to me to test it out, I've never seen a wand like it before, it had a beautiful crystal on the wand with remarkable carving in the wood. I give the wand a quick movement and ended up lifting Olivander off the floor, I quickly tried to put him down and tell him that I didn't intend to levitate him, he just laughed and started telling me the price for the wand " This wand is rather old really, was here when the shop first opened, I always knew someone would be worthy enough for it one day." I blush at his words and thanked him. After I am done at the shop I got the rest of my supplies, when I'm just about done and was about to go home I spot a pet shop just on the other side of the street, I look back at the list and see the animals you are allowed to have, an owl, cat, or toad, as I walk in the shop I spot a black kitten with bright green eyes I go up and pet the kitten and it starts to purr, then I hear someone behind me
"Would you like to buy him?"
********************************************
"YOU BOUGHT A CAT?!" Diana screams out, scaring the kitten, "how could you not like this face." I say holding him up to her, as soon as I do she goes into a sneezing fit. " Eloise you know I'm allergic!" She says with an angry look "You know there are potions for that! Plus I had always wanted a cat!" I smiled when her face turned from angry to defeated. She sighed "What are you going to name him?"
