2: Diagon Alley

Nevilles P.o.V

Granny handed the pot of green powder (floo powder) to me. I grabbed a handful, then stepped into the fire place.

"Now, remember to enunciate clearly, keep your elbows in, and for petes sake, keep your mouth closed," Gran instructed.

"Yes, Gran, I know," I said.

Then, I threw down the floo powder and shouted,

"Diagon Alley!"

Travelling by floo powder is a strange experiance. You have to tuck your elbows close to your side, or else you will skin and bruise them on the small, sufficating walls. You have to keep your mouth and eyes shut or else you will breath in the ash and get the ash in your eyes. And if you dont enunciate clearly, you can end up in a completly different place. All different fire places from both shops and homes whisk past you. Luckily, I ended up in the right place. As I came tumbling out of the fire place in Flourish and Blotts, there was a collective gasp. Of course. I was the Boy Who Lived, A Hero, and famous. It got quite boring, actually. People staring at me, gawking and gasping. Very imature. Luckily, Gran came tumbling out a moment later.

"Shoo! All of you! He's just a boy, for heavens sake!" Gran burst out angrily.

"Thanks Gran. People can be real idiots sometimes," I say, looking up at my grandmother appreciatively.

"No problem, anything for my baby boy," she said mischievously.

"Gran! You know I hate it when you call me that!" I wined, sounding like a 4 year old instead of an 11 year old.

"Ok, well we need to get your books since we are here all ready." She pointed out.

"Ya, you get some, and I'll get the rest." I said.

After getting and paying for all of my books we went outside. Deciding to get my outfit for school next, we went into Madame Malkin's Robes for all Occasions. As I was in there, getting my uniform, a girl came in. She had straight, blonde hair, sparkling, blue eyes, and was a bit shorter than me. She was quite cute. She looked at me and smiled. Madame Malkin put her on the pedestal beside mine.
"Hi, my name is Luna!" She said cheerfully.
"Hi, my name is Neville, " I responded.
Her eyes widened and flicked up to for forehead.
"Yes, The Neville Longbottom." I said getting bored.
"Oh, ok." Luna said uncomfortably.
"Well, see you around school?" Luna said as I was getting off my pedestal, being finished with my fitting.
"Ya, see you," I responded, smiling.
Luna blushed and smiled back.
"Odd, she blushed when I smiled at her," I thought.
