Chapter 2
I was in the fireplace room in some old building. The place where all floo powder users are transported when coming to Diagon Alley.
Mother and father apparated beside me. They had no need for the fireplace when they had apparating licenses. Together we walked out of the room unto the cobbled road, I took a deep breath.
There were hundreds of people here, hundreds of mudbloods.
I wasn't used to so many people, I didn't get out of the house much. And I have visited this place before, but I guess the school year is its most busiest time.
Scowling, I turned to my parents who were also staring around. No doubt looking for their comrades. Finally after what seemed
like ages, father glanced at me. "Do you have your school list?"
Wiping the scowl off of my face, I handed father the parchment in my hands. He quickly looked at it and gave it back, along with a small bag.
"Here, you know where the shops are right?"
"Yes father"
"Good. Take some galleons and go buy your supplies, meet us at the leaky cauldron afterword alright?" I nodded, and prepared to take my leave but I hesitantly spoke to father again.
"May I get a cat please daddy?"
Father smiled and placed his hand on my head. "Of course dear, whatever you want."
"Thank you!" I replied, giving mother and father a quick hug. They hugged me back and left me to go fetch the supplies.
It figures they wouldn't come with me, they always have things to do, but I didn't mind, I was used to it.
My feet brought me to all the locations I needed to go and I bought my least important supplies. Now all that was left was my robes, wand and cat.
I hurried into Ollivanders wand place and pushed my way to the front desk. "I want my wand."
The old man glared at me suspiciously before. Turning back to the other costumers. "As I was saying young man, the wand you hold contains a--"
I cut him off, "Im afraid you must not of heard me." I said, "I want my wand."
He continued speaking as if I wasn't there, "The core consists of a strand of unicorn-"
I was ultimately furious, it was like this guy wanted to die.
My hand slammed itself onto the table with a loud crack. Everyone in the shop turned to stare at me.
"Alright, you listen here you pathetic waste of space." I growled,
"I tried to be nice but you are obviously to much of a fool to realise that!"
Olivander turned completely towards me, "For your information miss, I was right in the middle of-"
"Save your breath old man, you will be sorry for not giving me my wand." I yelled, "My parents are in very high positions in the ministry and I don't think they would like to her that their child was denied a wand."
"I never den-" he started to say,
"Ooh, but you did. Have fun while you can Olivander you won't be enjoying it for much longer."
Olivander stared at me with a mix of shock, confusion and anger.
"Y-your T-rixie"
"Roseblood?" I finished, "Yeah, and your the hopeless old man that is going to lose his shop."
He shook slightly, no one can go against my father and win. If I told my dear parents I was denied one of the most important objects for magic..let's just say it won't be pretty. It was hilarious, my father and Luscious were feared almost as much as the Dark Lord! Except for the fact, that they aren't known as evil ones.
Laughing slightly I turned and made my way to the door when I was forced back.
"N-no no need for that." He stuttered, "Here check out these..."
I was less over to a big shelf full of dusty shoe boxes. Olivander grabbed one and opened it before shoving a wand on my hand.
"Flick it."
I placed the wand in my left hand and quickly flicked my wrist. Nothing happened. Wand after wand was handed to me, none seemed to be any better. The shelf was nearly empty, and there were thousands more to try.
I groaned aloud.
Another wand made its way into my hand and my wrist flicked itself on cue. A small spark flew from the tip.
My eyes widened, I finally did it! I made magic! Olivander just stared at the wand like he knew that was going to happen. Sighing, he brought me back to the desk where he rung up the wand.
"13 inch ebony wood wand with dragon heartstring core." He muttered, "The wand is pretty dark."
Nodding I stared at the wand, it was beautiful. It was a nice dark color but it shined brightly. I couldn't take my eyes off of it.
Carelessly I threw his galleons at him and walked of wand in hand. I was so very exited after making some kind of magic.
"Nice" a voice drawled, I was now outside the shop and standing near the door. I turned my head to see a very blonde boy. His hair was so blonde, it was practically white. It looked kinda cool actually.
"Thanks." I replied, I swear he reminded me of someone but I couldn't put a finger on it.
"The old prat had it coming." He said, I laughed
He nodded his head towards me. "Malfoy. Draco Malfoy."
That hit me in the face like a retarded owl. He was Luscious's son.
We never met, but I have heard about him, I met Luscious and Narcissa hundreds of times. Mother and Narcissa would tell me things about Draco, but I never had the chance to see him.
"Trixie"
He stared at me for a moment before speaking again.
"Ah, yes the Rosebloods child, father told me so much about you."
I awkwardly nodded my head indicating that my parents did the same and went back to admiring the beauty of my wand.
"What kind of wand is that?" Draco asked staring along with me.
"Ebony wood and uh, dragons heartstring." I replied, "Apparently it's a 'dark wand' or whatever the crazy old man said."
This time he laughed a bit before a cool voice shushed him. "I do agree, the old man is a tad psychotic but what he said was right. A wand like that can hold dark power."
I looked up slowly and saw Luscious standing behind Draco with a hand on his shoulder. Narcissa stood a step or two behind.
"M-mister Malfoy" I greeted trying my best not to stutter.
He laughed softly, "Dear child, I told you many times that there is no need for formality around me."
Again I nodded listening like my life depended on it, which it kinda did, he could make my life a living hell.
"How have you been doing Trixie dear?" Narcissa asked,
"I've been doing alright."
She nodded, "Well we best hurry on, we still have some more shopping to do."
They bid their farewells and took off in the other direction while I walked to the pet store a few stops down.
Inside there were a lot of animals. Owls, frogs, cats, snakes, and rats. The place wasn't as crowded but the smell was absolutely horrid, so I decided I needed to hurry up.
The cats were the first thing I looked at. They all were so beautiful, each breed somewhat separated. I looked at a few midnight black cats, but nothing caught my eye. Then I noticed a lone cat at the end of the row.
It was a small Siamese kitten. I absolutely adored it, kittens were my one and only weakness. They were just to darn cute.
I pointed my finger at it and said, "This one."
The worker lady took the little kitten from the cage and placed it in my arms, while another person yelled behind me.
"I had my eyes on it first! Its mine!" She cried trying to rip the cat from my grasp.
I stepped back while anther adult, who I guessed was her mother and the clerk whispered something in her ear. While they did so, I played with the kitten and tried to calm it down. Eventually the lady came back to me and asked for her money, which I gave immediately and left.
I had Gwen apparate back and forth with my new things so I didn't have to carry them, I didn't want to leave my cat but the robe shop didn't allow pets.
"Gwen! Take her home and take care of her." I said while carefully placing the kitten in her arms.
"Yes miss." Gwen said as she apparated away.
My robes were made and paid for and waited at home for me. I made Gwen give my kitten back and left towards the Leaky Cauldron.
I was crossing the cobblestone street when a series of bright lights and pops sped past me with lightning fast speed.
"What the bloody hell?!?" I screamed, earning a few glares which I returned.
My ears picked up laughter, and soon enough I saw two red-headed boys laughing their heads off while another shorter one looked shocked. "L-look Ron s-shes just like y-you." One laughed
The shorter boy, Ron I'm guessing blushed madly. "There are plenty of people that say that!" He shouted angrily at the others, which I'm now noticing are twins.
"Fred and George! How dare you make such a fuss! And in public to!" A woman scolded, "How many times have I told you no pranking!" She smacked each of them on the back of their heads and pulled them away.
I snickered and continued walking to the pub. Eventually I found and saw mum a dad outside with the Malfoys.
My cat purred in my arms before she climbed up on my shoulder. Merlin she was cute.
Dad noticed me first and walked over to me. "Hey Trix? Find everything OK?"
"Of course father." I replied flatly.
"Good, and who's this lovely thing?" He asked petting the kitten carefully.
"Uh this is Jinx, I just got her."
Father continued stroking Jinx's fur before motioning Draco over.
"Sweetheart this is--"
"Draco, dad I already met him at Olivanders."
Father looked shocked, but he soon relaxed and nodded his head."That's great."
I pulled my wand out of my pocket and held it out. "Father look!"
Dad picked up my wand and examined it closely.
"It's a 13 inch ebony wood with dragon heartstring." I said enthusiastically, father nodded and gave it back.
"It's a very good wand Trix, nice and powerful."
