I am sooooooo sorry that I didn't update!!!!! My internet had been down ever since Saturday and it's been driving me crazy!!!!! And then my draft was deleted so I had to rewrite what I had before and it was hard remembering everything cause I don't write the chapter down first, I just type what I come up with. I finally had a chance to go to Starbucks and use their internet. So I'm really really sorry once again. For everyone who reviewed and commented, thank u so much. U guys have no idea how much this means to me! I never thought that people would like my story, so it does mean a lot to me. If you guys have any suggestions or want me to add or change something, please leave a comment. I write for u! Oh! and I'm going to try and make this long to make up for lost time.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. JK Rowling does. I am not making a profit off this. I'm writing for pleasure.

I only own Saphira and the plot.

Second Part of Saphira's trip to Diagon Alley.

Third P.O.V.

Saphira rushed over to the pet shop where Severus Snape was waiting for her.

"There you are! I've been waiting for an hour already! I didn't go in because it was your personal time finding a wand. I'm glad you're safe. How was it?" exclaimed the now relieved professor.

"I'm sorry for being late but it just took such a long time to find a wand..." Saphira told him all about her "time" with Ollivander.

"Impressive. Now let's hurry because we still have a lot to buy. Look around for a pet, you have ten to fifteen minutes."

"Okay and thank you for everything Uncle Sev."

"Your welcome Saphie. Now hurry."

Saphira walked through the store, seeing all the owls, snakes, cats, etc.

Because of her ability to talk to animals, she made small conversations with them. Some of the animals were polite and some were plain out rude.

"A wizard conversing with animals, what a thought!"

"Ignore the witch, they are no good."

Saphira could only get two pets. Her eye caught a little kitten. It was a female with brown, tan, and white fur. She walked over to it.

"Hello, my name is Saphira. Might I ask what is yours?"

"My name is Luna. How are you able to understand me? Magic folk don't talk to animals."

( I didn't name her after Luna Love, I just really like the name Luna. I named my cat Luna!)

"Well, I'm sort of special. I like you. How would you like to come home with me?"

"I'd love to! A home! I never had a home before."

"Great, now I'll be right back."

With only five minutes left, she had another look around. Frogs didn't suit her, owls weren't necessary because there was already an owlery at Hogwarts, and she already chose a cat. She heard a musical sound coming from somewhere. it sounded like it was getting closer, and fast. Saphira turned around to see a beautiful bird coming towards her. It had every possible colored feather on its body. It landed on her shoulder. She smiled and petted it.

The owner came running towards them.

"I'm so sorry about the inconvenience! I opened the cage to clean it and this uncontrollable phoenix made a run for it. Very sorry again, I'll take her back. "

"Oh no worries! Is it for sale? I'd like to buy him, if that's okay?"

"Are you sure? He doesn't listen and won't behave. But if you want him, he's yours."

"I'm sure he won't be a problem! I'll take him for sure. Oh! And I will be taking a kitten. She's over here."

Saphira talked with the owner about taking care of them, what to feed them, etc. After paying for them, she met up with Snape.

"A phoenix! What a beautiful creature. And a kitten. A nice pair. Now let's get going.

They headed to Madam Malkin's for black robes.

"Hello dear! Hogwarts, I presume? Ah, Severus. A pleasure to see you again. Now dear, come with me to get measured. It won't take long. Severus, if you could wait here please" said Madam Malkin.

"Of course. Saphira, I'll be here waiting." said Snape.

"Okay Uncle Sev."

Saphira followed Madam Malkin to the back for measuring.

" So your name is Saphira?"

"Yes madam."

"Okay Saphira. please lift up your arms."

Madam Malkin used her wand to control her quill to write down Saphira's measurements. After five minutes, she was done.

"Okay dear, I'll be back in two. You can head to the front."

"Thank you very much."

"What a polite young lady."

Saphira headed to the front of the shop and met with Severus Snape. She knew that he was a cold person to others. But with her, he was kind. Not many people knew the kind side of him. Normally, people only saw his cold persona and his famous sneer and glare. She didn't judge people on what others thought of them or on their first impression. Her philosophy was that people should be given a chance and that others should take time to actually get to know the person.

Saphira knew that her "uncle" was a deatheater, but she also knew about Lily Evans and where his loyalties really lied, with Dumbledore.

After they paid for the robes, they went on to get her books and the rest of her supplies.

"Thank you so much Uncle Sev! I can't wait to go to school and meet new friends!"

"Your welcome Saphie. anything for my favorite girl. Now, let's go back because it's already really late."

"Ok!"

"Severus! What a surprise to see you here! It's been a while, don't you say. Might I ask who this young lady is?" asked a blond, long hair male.

(I think you can guess who it is;))

"Lucius! What a surprise indeed. It has been a while. Saphira here, is going to be a first year, like Draco I presume? We were just buying her school supplies, wand, pets, etc. How is Narcissa?"

"Since when have you gone with a student to buy their supplies Severus? Draco and Narcissa are doing fine. They just apparated home. Saphira what?"

"Saphira Hogwarts." He said in a carful voice.

Saphira just stayed quiet while examining the strange man in front of her. Piercing gray eyes, pale skin, and long white hair. He seemed to be a person of great authority, power, and wealth. But she sensed that underneath his cold front, there was something else. Her thoughts were interrupted.

" Saphira Hogwarts?! How can that be?!" exclaimed Lucius wide-eyed.

"It's a long story that I will not delve into. Excuse me Lucius, but we must get going. Saphira, come along."

"Of course. A pleasure to meet you Mr...." 

"Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy."

"Mr. Malfoy. I hope to meet your son at the beginning of the year." She said politely.

"Such pleasant manners. A pleasure to meet you as well Ms. Hogwarts." He said.

"Please, call me Saphira." she said with a smile as she hoped that she would have a chance to get to know him better.

"Well then Saphira. I hope that you will come around to Malfoy Manor. You are welcome anytime. Good day Severus." said Lucius.

"Goodbye Lucius. Send my regards to your wife and send."

After that they parted ways and went home. Severus and Saphira apparated to Hogwarts. They arrived at Dumbledore's office.

"Ah, there you are. Thank you Severus for taking Saphie. How was it? Tell me all about it."said the old wizard.

" No problem Albus. Saphira had a blast. We also just ran into Lucius Malfoy. He seemed to take a liking to Saphira."

" I thought he was nice. Diagon Alley was great! All these wizards and witches, the stores....."

Severus excused himself and went down to his room while Saphira went on to tell Dumbledore all about her time there. From getting her wand to meeting Malfoy.

" I'm so excited to meet everyone and start taking classes!"

"Saphira, I want you to have a great time as a student. But, as you know, there has been house rivalry for a very long time. Being the heir of the five founders of Hogwarts, it's your responsibility to bring all the houses together. You have a great personality and I know that even the Slytherins will accept you and be your friend. Don't look at it as a job. Just as something that will be done with a little effort. But enjoy yourself. I feel that this up coming year will be very eventful and full of surprises." Dumbledore said.

" Alright. I do want the houses to come together and be united as it once was long ago. Don't worry, dad. I'll make you proud."

"You always do."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( I'm going to go to the day when school starts - Sept. 1 )

It was finally the long awaited day and  there was a really excited young witch.

Saphira ran from her chambers to her dad's office.

"Dad, dad! Today's September first! KingsCross station, here I come!" Yelled Saphira in excitement.

"Yes indeed. Now get ready and I'll take you there." He said chuckling.

Saphira went back to her chambers that were located next to Dumbledore's    room. The door was made of cherry wood and had very intricate carvings. Her password was Hogwarts. Inside was a fully furnished living room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.

In her living room, there is a grand black piano, a chandelier, two white couches, two deep blue chairs with gold patterns, a wooden table with a glass surface, etc. The walls were covered with many paintings that she did. They were all framed. Saphira was quite the artist.

Her bathroom had gold handles, a shower, and a bathtub. The walls were light purple with white accents.

The kitchen was fully furnished with a table and four chairs. But Saphira still went down to the Hogwarts kitchens and visited the house elves there.

She had a room dedicated to art. All her canvases and paints were there. Her walls were covered in different pictures. One wall was if a garden with many flowers and a fountain. Another wall was a great mountain. Next was a painting of a beach. The last and her favorite was a great painting of the Hogwarts Castle. This took her seven months to complete. The immense detail was unbelievable. Painting and playing the piano were her favorite things to do.

Finally, came her bedroom.  Her king sized bed had gold sheets with Royal blue accents. A chandelier hung from the ceiling and the ceiling mimicked the ceiling in the Great Hall. A starry sky. There was a closet with all her clothes and a secret passage way to her hide out room that she created by herself.  Her room also had selves of magic books and muggle books alike. She could change anything she wanted at anytime with her magic.

Saphira went into her closet and grabbed her bag, that had a charm that allowed her to carry many things with out the weight, which included her money for the trolley, her wand, Hogwarts robes, etc.

After changing, Saphira went back to Dumbledore's office.

"I'm ready Dad!"

"Alright, let's go. but before we do,  I want you to know how proud I am of you."

"I know, I love you too. Buuuttttt, we really need to go, like right now!"

Albus could only shake his head at her excitement. They apparated to King Cross and they parted ways.  Saphira ran into the column with her eyes shut. When she arrived on the other side, she opened her eyes and saw all the witches and wizards, her eyes widened at the sight. As she boarded the train, she bumped into somebody else while not looking.

"Watch where you are going!" said the boy with platinum white hair.

(That's it for right now guys! I'll do another chapter tomorrow for sure cause we r getting our internet back:) finally )
