Diagon Alley

Whoever said that money cant buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping. ~Bo Derek

Right now I am sitting in Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour in Diagon alley eating a Bulgarian Chocolate Ice cream. I came here with mother and father to get my school supplies, on the day of deciding school I asked my father if Professor McGonagall goes to every students house to know if the child is going to attend the school or not?

Then father replied, "No she does not, she only goes to get those student who don't know about magical world, but still have magical powers for example muggleborns. Then she explains there parents or guardians about our world and then lets them decide whether to join the school or not. But in our case, she had to come personally because your grandfather is one of the chief warlocks and also a member of Wizengamot. As descendants of warlock have a lot of schools in option like you had four of them. At my time I had only two Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, but I still decided Hogwarts. At such times schools deputy headmasters are required to deliver the letter and get the reply from them personally." And so I found another advantage in being a member of Wizengamot council or descendant of a warlock.

So return back to current situation, mother is out there to get my potions supply and to meet someone. Father is out there to get books and other stuff and I was sent to Madam Malkin's to get my new school robes. They told me to wait here until they come and pick me up. Right now I am very excited to get my first wand. I heard that my father had got an custom made wand for himself. It was for the first time I heard that we can get custom wands made. The major plus point of the custom made wand is that there is no ministry tracker bound to the wand. So I can perform magic even when I am away from schools. The ministry hates this, but the wand makers are ready to remove the tracker for free. Father told me that wand makers hate to add the tracker in the first place, but due to order from ministry they had to add it.

Before coming to Florean Fortescue's ice cream parlour I went to the Quality Quidditch Supplies store there I saw that right now the fastest broom available is Nimbus 1500 which I already got as a gift from grandpa last year, so I was disappointed, but I still got to see the famous red head family twins. Oh yes Fred and George Weasley along with a 7 or 8 year old Ginny, have to admit it she is very cute. I was going to introduce myself to them but there mom came and pulled them away from the shop, so better luck next time. They will join Hogwarts next year anyway so will get to know them at that time.

As I was half way through the Ice cream, I saw my mother in the crowd coming towards me, so I get up and wave at her to find me. She noticed me and gave me a lovely smile then walked towards me and sat on the chair next to me. She was empty handed so my guess is put all the stuff in the enchanted purse she carries. I offered her ice cream but she declined. A few moments later I also saw father walking towards us, as he came near our table I saw him keep a lovely snow white owl on the table. I was excited and ask him if this is for me and he smiles at me and told me it's an early birthday present. After I finished my Ice cream we started walking in another direction of Madam Malkin's shop and my guess is towards the famous wand maker Ollivander's.
