Chapter 1/Diagon Alley

 I woke up on the 25 of August, my birthday knowing that like all of my others this one would be no different, it would be uneventful. They were always too busy to make time for me. So as I exited my bedroom and went downstairs to greet my family, my mother called down for me and said "Aurora your Hogwarts letter has arrived." "Thank you mother, may I go to Diagon Alley today?"I asked. My mother said that I can not go alone and that she or father could be able to accompany me to Diagon Alley. So I asked, "mother could my house elf Pinky could accompany me?" Mother said yes so I went back to my room and got dressed to go out to Diagon Ally. I am so excited because whenever I went to Diagon Alley with my father we would only go to Gringotts and shops in Knockturn Alley which is full of strange dark shops.

********Time skip to Diagon Alley*******

     Now my house elf Pinky and I are at Diagon Alley and we decided that it would be best if we split up after we got my money from Gringotts and I would go to get my robes, wand, and pet. When Pinky is getting my other things. And we would meet up for ice cream afterward. So I handed Pinky my list and a sack of Galleons, and we parted ways.

    I walked into Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions, "welcome, robes for Hogwarts dear?" The kind lady at the counter asked. "Yes ma'am" I responded, she guided me to a spot to stand and get fitted. When a black-haired boy with glasses walked in, "Hello are you going to Hogwarts as well?" He asked. "Yes I am, Aurora Lancaster nice to meet you," I said as I held out my hand for him to shake. "I'm Harry Potter," he said as he shook my hand. "It is very nice to meet you, Harry, I hope to see you at platform 9 3/4 next week," I said as the seamstress finished up "Sweetheart in one hour your robes will be finished if you would like to come then to pick them up." So I paid and said thank you.

     Now that I had got fitted for my robes I went to Ollivander's to get my wand. "Hello, Ms. Lancaster I was wondering when I would get to meet you." He said as I walked into the shop. I was startled and then I got to get my wand it is made of rosewood, with a core of unicorn hair. And it is 11 inches long.

     Then I headed to Elope's Owl Emporium to pick out a pet. I started thinking to myself My mother and father always have said to get an owl because they would be helpful for delivering letters and be a good familiar. But I think that I am more drawn to cats and I could always use a school owl to deliver letters.

     As soon as I walked through the door I felt drawn to this kitten she had the greenest of eyes and so adorable. like we were meant to find each other. I went to the counter and asked if I could buy her "yes we will get her ready for you. Do you have any idea of what you will name her?" The man at the counter asked

I looked at her for a second and the name came to me"Opal, I'm going to name her Opal" I responded excitedly. I paid the man at the counter and left the shop to go and meet up with Pinky to get ice cream. 

     As I was walking to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour I bumped into these two tall red-haired boys that were identical. "Sorry about that'' the one on the left said, then the one on the right said, "I'm Fred this here is George." "I'm Aurora it's nice to meet you, are you going to Hogwarts as well," I said to Fred. "Yes we are going into our third year," they both said at the same time "It is going to be my first year at Hogwarts, I am very excited" I replied "it was nice to meet you, Aurora," Said George when at the same time Fred said, "See you at Hogwarts Aurora." "Goodbye, see you both at Hogwarts," I said back to the twins. I thought to myself I will have to get used to them talking in sync as I walked away.

     I had arrived at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour and found Pinky, She looked like she was about to topple over with the number of books that she was carrying so I picked them up and set them on a table nearby. Then after we got our Ice Cream we went over to the Floo Network and Flooed back to Lancaster Manor where I was Greeted with a terrible surprise.
