The whole Arret family, except for their father, walked down Diagon Ally. Young children dragged their parents around into stores while older siblings watched from behind. The streets were filled with wide eye kids stopping and pointing at anything they saw, this made it very had to get around.
"How about you and Drake go get your stuff and your brothers and I will get your books,"
"Okay!"
The two of them ran to the nearest store and barged in. A few people looked up, but most people were more interested in what they were buying.
The first store they went into was Madams Malkins's Robes for All Occasions.
"Why hello there," Madam Malkin said walking towards them. "Are you both going to Hogwarts?" They both nodded and followed her to some robs by the corner. She grabbed one and handed it off to Drake."Try that one on for size," She lead Drake to the back.
Sky looked around the store, it was bigger then she expected with robes from all different school, some that she hadn't even heard of.
Just then a young girl bumped into Sky."Ohh!" Sky yelped.
"Oh my I'm so sorry!"
"Oh it's ok. My brother is always bumping into me so I'm used to the bump, fall, sorry, oh it's ok thing.
"Well this was a bad way to start off so we better,I'm Lilas Crowin," sky looked up at her face, she had strawberry blonde hair and dark brown eyes that just barely caught the light.
"I'm Sky,um Sky Arret,"
"Are you going to Hogwarts?"
"Yeah! Me and my brother Drake!" Sky looked at Drake who was laughing as Madam Malkin tried to measure around his waist.
"Well i'll best be on my way I have a whole lot of stuff to get,"
"Bye!"
"Sky come on!" Drake called from the back of the store.
"Coming!"
After the two were fitted they left the store.
"One down about fifty places left!"
"Seriously?"
"No of course not, more like sixty!" Drake started walking towards where there family was.
"Hey come back here!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Arret family went to store after store buying loads of things, some of which they really didn't need.
After hours of shopping there were only two stores left. Sky walked up to a store and looked up at the tall sign.
Eeylops Owl Emporium
"Hey Mom?"
"Yes?"
Sky turned with a hopeful look in her eye."Can I get a owl?"
It was like time stopped for just a moment, Sky felt so desperate. She wanted a owl so bad, but would she be able to. Her mom said that she didn't want another pet and that she should just take their cat to Hogwarts, but she didn't want to and besides Drake could bring the cat.
"Well if Drake will take Barrow to Hogwarts then I guess you can,"
Sky looked at Drake and smiled in hope.
"Well I thought I wasn't even aloud to get a pet because you were going to take Barrow, but know that your getting a new pet I'll take whatever I can get,"
"Yes! Thank you!" Sky hugged Drake and ran into the store.
"Well what can I get you young lady?"
"Um well I was wondering what kind of owls you had?"
"Um well we have a fine selection, but I think I know a owl that would be perfect for you,"
The shop keeper took Sky to the back of the store. A small cage was in the corner which at first looked like it had nothing in it, but then a small owl poked its head out. It was almost black with white tipped wind and brown specks all over it body. "This here fellow has been here for ages and needs a home.
Sky looked straight at the owl it started back at her with a hopeful stare that looked a lot like the one she did for her mother. Sky smiled and picked up the cage.
"I'll take him!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow that thing is ugly!" Caden said trying to poke the owl.
"It's not ugly!"
"What's its name anyway?" asked Drake.
"Blitz,"
"What a stupid name!" Caden remarked.
"Caden that's enough!" Sky's mother said taking him by the hand.
"Can we go yet?" Elliot asked.
"No Sky and Drake have to get their wands, you two can go yet your wands I'll be waiting out here with the boys.
They both walked into Ollivanders and walked up to the front desk.
"Hello anyone here?"
"Oh why hello there!" The shop keeper popped up from his desk."Let me guess looking for a wand? Well you came to the right place I assure you! Hm let's start will you young boy, what's you name?"
"I'm Drake,"
"Hold on one second!" The shop owner walked down a hallway of wands and picked out one of the boxes. "Hm let's see 10 inches,Oak, unicorn hair," He handed Drake the wand and Drake tried to wave but the shop keeper grabbed it."Oh no no no!" He headed towards the back. 9 inches, dragon heartstrings, maple. Drake took the wand and the shop keeper smiled."A perfect match! Now for you young lady," He looked at her for a second and smiled."I know the perfect wand! It's been under my desk all this time waiting for the right person. 11 inch, birch, Phoenix tail feathers,"
"Wow it's beautiful! Thank you!"
"No problem Sky have a good day!"
The family walked out of the Ollivanders."I wonder how he new my name I never told him, and everyone has been finding the perfect thing whatever that means.
"It's just the power of magic Sky," her mother said walking down the ally.
