#5: Diagon Alley

"Did we just meet-"

"The Weasley's. I know. Lets go already." I say, ruining Val's fangirl moment.

"Oh alright," she grumbles, following me into Diagon Alley.

We go to all the stores except Flourish and Botts and Madam Malkims Robes for All Occasions.

We decided to meet up at Olivanders.

I went into the latter to get it over with.

When I walked in, there was a boy with floppy white blonde hair getting measured.

I stood next to him and waited my turn.

After a while, I broke the silence.

"Hi! My name's Felicity. Are you going to Hogwarts this year?"

He turned to me and said, "Why yes, thanks for asking. My name is Damian. Damian Malfoy."

At that moment, however, Madam Malkin handed him his robes and shoos him out.

"See you at Hogwarts!" Damian calls out, leaving the store.

"I wouldn't befriend a Malfoy, if I were you. They are nothing but trouble," Madam Malkin advised.

"Well lucky for you, your not me," I say icily, grabbing my robes and leaving.

I run all the way to Ollivanders.

"There you are!" Val says.

"I've been waiting for you!" she exclaims, dragging me into the shop.

An old man with glasses appears out of nowhere and ushers Val forward.

"I am Ollivander. I shall find the perfect wand for you," he proclaimed, handing Val a wand.

A few moments later, Val found her match.

"Ah, yes. This is the one. Two hairs of a unicorn with birch. Used by those with a big heart," Ollivander says.

Val points it at the roof in truimph.

"Next please," Ollivander says, waving her away.

I step forward.

"Hmm... Felicity Bellatrix Riddle, right?" he asks.

I didn't tell him my name!!!

"Uh, yes," I confirm.

Ollivander searches a stack of wands, until he comes across a dark grey one with stars on it.

"Here. Try this."

He hands me the wand. When I pick it up, I feel a surge of heat. I flick the wand, and a trail of stars come out of its tip.

"Looks like I was right. Slender, made of stardust, a griffin feather, and ebony wood. The wielders of this wand are ambitious and daring. Use it well," Ollivander says, smugly.

I leave twenty galleons on a wand stack and leave the store.

"I'm so excited! We got wands!" Val exclaims.

"I know Val. Lets go to that pet place. Here it is," I say, leading Val to a magical pet store.

When we go inside, there are many different animals on display. There are owls, wolves, cats, rats, and snakes. Val immediately goes towards the owls, while I drift towards the cats. Even though I am drawn towards the snakes, I keep my distance. I watch two panther cubs play fight with each other. Suddenly I hear someone behind me.

"Well, hello there. You are the first person I have seen that looked at the cats."

I jump and whirl around, to find myself face to face to a boy with light brown hair and green eyes.

"My name is Remus Potter, what's yours?"

"My name is Felicity Riddle. Nice to meet you," I say, stunned.

I met a Potter!

He smirks and looks at the cats.

"I suggest you get the one that won," Remus suggests.

I turn back to cats and see the one of them on top of the other.

"Excuse me, miss, could I have the cat on the bottom?" I ask the sales witch.

The sales witch nods and grabs the one on the bottom. Once she hands it to me, I cuddle it to my chest.

"I shall name you,-"

"Padfoot," Remus interjects.

"What?"

"Padfoot. Name it Padfoot. Please." Remus asks.

"Okay... I shall name you Padfoot," I say, bringing Padfoot closer to me.

"Quick question: why did you pick the one on the bottom?" Remus asks, confused.

"I picked Padfoot here, because Padfoot knew when to stop," I explain, kissing the top of Padfoot's head.

"REMUS!!! REMUS POTTER!!! I SWEAR TO MERLIN, IF YOU ARE IN HERE-"

"I should probably go," Remus says, eyeing the door.

I laugh.

"Yeah, you should go. By the sound of that yelling, you are in big trouble," I say, mimicking his smirk from before.

"REMUS ORION POTTER!!! GET OVER HERE THIS INSTANT!!!"

Remus sighs.

"I'll be off. By Felicity,"

"By Remus!" I call after him.

"So, who was that?" Val says, waggling her eyebrows at me.

"Apparently that was Remus Orion Potter," I say, snickering.

Val laughs with me.

"Let us go back to the Hell hole. For in two months time, we go to Hogwarts!" Val exclaims.

I smile and walk with Val out of Diagon Alley.

Unaware of a blonde someone watching us.
