Elowen's Outfit

Violet's Outfit

ELOWEN'S POV

I was bouncing up and down, painfully excited about the fact that I, Elowen Lily Ocean, a muggle-born from AMERICA, am going to Diagon Alley in ENGLAND!!! I am so excited. You see my mom and dad got divorced a few years ago when I was nine years old. My mom came to live in London. I have a younger brother who was five at the time. His name is Alexander. I moved to London to live with my mom, without my brother or dad. Anyway, I left on June 8th. A few weeks later, on July 8th, my birthday, a kind man who was tall and thin came to my mom's house. He looked really old because he had a long silvery beard and hair. He was wearing a long robe-like thing. His eyes were a bright blue and were sparkling. He had half-moon glasses, sorry, spectacles, and had a long crooked nose. His name was Albus Dumbledore. He started talking to me and my mom. Apparently, I'm a muggle-born witch. A few days later, July 31st, he came back and said he was going to take me to get my school supplies in Diagon Alley.

He did this thing called apparating, after getting my mom's permission, to get to Diagon Alley. I held on to his shoulder, well tried to, I held onto his arm. I'm short, only 4'3. My mom said I'd probably only be 5' when I'm older. It runs in the family. So, I had to be short and hold onto his arm. When we appeared there I stumbled, almost tripping over something, but other than that I felt fine.

Dumbledore said we needed to go to the bank first. It was called Gringotts. Apparently, there was a vault for muggle-borns there.

-------Time Skip Brought To You By Dumbledore and His Socks-------

Dumbledore had been taking me around to each shop to get my stuff. We went into a place called Flourish and Blotts. There were shelves and shelves of books. It was amazing. I went over to one of the shelves and started looking at some of the books while Dumbledore got my books needed for school. There were all kinds of books on the shelves and I was too engrossed in them that I wasn't looking where I was going and tripped over something.

"Are you okay?" A British voice called down towards me.

I looked up and there was a beautiful girl standing there, looking down at me. She couldn't have been much older than me. She had a slightly rounded face with a slightly pointed chin and beautiful chocolatey brown eyes. Her hair was a dark brown and went down to her shoulders. She had a much different body structure than myself but was still gorgeous. She had a thicker body with more of an apple body shape.

She tilted her head and reached out her hand. I took it and stood up, shaking my head back to reality.

"Are you okay?" She asked again.

"Oh, right. Yeah, I'm great. It happens all the time. I'm used to it." I said quickly before my eyes landed on her shirt. She had a white shirt with cat whiskers, ears, and a heart nose. It was the same shirt I was wearing.

She seemed to notice as well because she suddenly exclaimed, "We're wearing the same shirt."

I nodded smiling, "Yeah. It's absolutely purrfect."

She laughed slightly, "Great, my new bestie will be making puns for the rest of our lives."

I grinned, "You know it. Wait, what's your name?"

She laughed, "I'm Violet Rose Star. You can call Vi or Rose or Stars. Basically, you can call me whatever you want as long as it's nice. Wait, are you going to Hogwarts."

I nodded, "Yeah, I'm going to Hogwarts. I'm Elowen Lily Ocean. It's nice to meet you."

Violet nodded, "It's nice to meet you too. What house do you want to be in?"

Elowen shrugged, "I don't know. I don't really know much about Hogwarts."

Violet nodded, "You must be a muggle-born then. I'm a half-blood. Which basically means that one of my parents is a witch or wizard. In my case, it's my mum. I can explain things you should know about the magical world."

Elowen nodded, taking in the information. "Okay, and yeah, that would be great."

Dumbledore walked over with a smile on his face. "Hello, girls. Elowen we should go get the rest of your supplies."

I looked up at him and nodded. She looked at Violet, "Sorry, I have to go. Ummm... wait." I reached into her bag, pulling out two bracelets and handing one too Violet. "Friendship bracelets." (Yes, I just did that)

Violet smiled and took it, "Thanks. I'll see you on the train."

I nodded, "Bye."

"Bye, Elowen," Violet said as we started leaving.

I looked up at Dumbledore and asked, "Where are we going next?"

"Let's get your uniform then we'll get your wand." He said smiling.

I started jumping up and down with excitement as I walked. I was getting my wand soon.

We walked into Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions to get my robes as a boy with black tousled hair and bright green eyes came out. I smiled and waved at him. He smiled back.

Dumbledore and I walked into the place and saw a boy with platinum blonde hair. He jumped down from the stool he was standing on and saw me. Dumbledore had gone over to talk to the woman, who I'm presuming to be Madame Malkin. The boy walked over to me, he had a snobby look to himself. I can already tell he's not gonna be nice.

"Hello. Who are you? I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." He said with a British accent. Well, of course, he has a British accent. We're in London. Well, sort of.

"I'm Elowen Ocean," I say, looking at him.

He nodded, "I've never heard your name or last name before. What's your blood-status"

I raised my eyebrow, getting defensive, "Why do you want to know?"

"Because I think they shouldn't let the other types into Hogwarts, only the pure-bloods." He said snottily.

I narrowed my eyes. I don't know much about the magical world but he's being completely rude, "I'm muggle-born."

He sneered at me, "Ugh, great. I've been talking to a mud-blood."

He walked off, leaving me shocked. The woman came over and helped me up on the stool as she started measuring me.

After she finished with my robes and said I could go, I jumped down and walked out with Dumbledore, thinking.

"There's something wrong, Elowen?" Dumbledore said, looking down at me.

I looked up and shook my head slightly, "No, Sir. I'm just thinking."

He nodded slightly, "You can talk to me, Elowen."

I nodded, "Yeah, I know. I'm fine though."

"Ok," He said.

We kept walking and came to a place called Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.

I started jumping up and down again, "Yay. I'm getting my wand."

Dumbledore smiled and placed his hand on my shoulder. No fair, he's tall. I stopped jumping and walked in.

Ollivander's POV

I was looking around the shop when I heard someone come in.

I went to the front and saw a young girl with blonde hair and a gleam in her blue eyes smiling and looking around. Dumbledore was standing next to her.

I smiled, nodding to Dumbledore, and walked over to her, "Hello."

She jumped and spun around, her hand turning and slapping me in the nose, with a startled look on her face.

Her eyes widened and she explained, "I am SO sorry, sir. Are you okay?"

I chuckled slightly, "Yes, I'm very okay."

"Are you sure? I really am sorry. And, um, I'm here to get my wand for Hogwarts."

I smiled at her and nodded. "I'm fine, and yes. Just one second." 

She nodded with a small smile. She's gonna be a Hufflepuff. I know it.

Elowen's POV

I did NOT mean to hit him. Curse my reflexes. He was looking around for a wand for me. I don't know how it works so I'll have to listen to him.

He came around with a wand case in his hand. He took the wand out and gave it to me, It way reddish colored and maybe 10ish inches. He said, "How is this wand? Just give it a little swish."

I nodded a swished it and Dumbledore's robe caught on fire. He looked down and put it out. "Oh, dear. I don't think that's the right wand, Ollivander." He said calmly.

Ollivander nodded and thought for a second before smiling and nodding. He went back to the shelves and pulled out a case. "This one."

I pulled it out and turned it over in my hand and a slight breeze flew around my head, flipping my hair over my shoulders. I smiled and looked up. Ollivander was smiling as well.

"That is an Ebony wood with a dragon heartstring core. It is 9 3/4 inches and has a slightly springy flexibility. Ebony wood is actually happiest in the hand of those with the courage to be themselves and it takes a strong person to do that. I hope to hear great things about you."

I smiled and looked at my end again boring. "Thank you." 

Dumbledore and I apparated back to my house. I hugged him goodbye. He smiled at me and said, "I'll see you at Hogwarts, Elowen." Then he backed up and apparated away.

My mom smiled at me and said I should get some sleep after I told her everything that happened. I nodded and went to my room to go to sleep. Of course, it took like an hour until I got to bed. I snuggled up against my bear stuffed animal.
