Diagon Alley was full of witches, wizards, and other creatures. Harry walked to the bookstore. He went inside. A long haired girl was smiling. 'Well, I knew Mother and Father weren't magic people; I knew they were Muggles. Of course...', she stopped talking.
'You're Harry Potter'.
'Yes'.
'Hermoine Grainger'.
'I didn't know human girls went to Hogwarts'.
'I am the only girl witch in my family. I got a letter from Hogwarts'.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0mZDtBchK
'Oh, I did too'.
'Really. Please, follow me to the books on the dusty table. The books are cheap; some of the books are expensive', she prattled on.
'I can pay for them', Harry stated.
He took out some Knuts, and Sickles.
And paid for them.

The tall, red haired wizard, Ron Weasley, was found wanting on his robes. Some of them were old; some were tattered; some were too awful to wear. 'But, I look frightful', he sighed.
He looked at Hermoine was with Harry Potter.
He saw the lightning scar on Harry's forehead.
'Don't look, Ron', Molly Weasley said.
He nodded, as they went from magic shop to magic shop.

Harry went to Garrick's Wand Shop.
He went inside.
The old wand owner smiled at him.
'Ah, Harry Potter. I knew you were coming'.
'Did you?', Harry asked him.
'There was a wizard like you. You-Know-Who', Garrick answered.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74L1s749oy
'I see', Harry said.
'Yes, pick this one wand'.
Harry grabbed the wand.
He held onto it.
Bright colors filled the room.
The wand was strong for Harry.
'Ah, it picked you', Garrick Ollivander said.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpcRtesoab
And Harry paid for the wand, then he left the store.

In the owl store, Harry picked an owl.
'She's called Hedwig', Hagrid had told him.
He paid for her, and held onto the cage.
Harry, and Hermoine, rushed to Platform 9 3/4, and went through the bricks at Charing Cross Station.
The Station Master blew his silver whistle, and they ran.
They headed to their seats, and sat down.
The Hogwarts Express travelled to the castle.
It was 11:00 AM.
