Harry was the last person to step out of the fireplace in the living area of Weasaly's Wizarding Wheezes. Dusting the soot off his robes he turned to look at the group, Luna Scamander (previously Lovegood) was standing with the group her daughter Alice stood by her side. Luna walked up to harry and pulled into a hug, "Oh Harry it's so good to see you!" she gleefully said. Harry smiled returning the hug "It's good to see you too Luna" he replied with a smile.
"I'm sorry to leave Alice with you like this but myself and Rolf have an important meeting, she has all the money she will need so you won't have to worry about that." Luna turned to look at Alice "You've got your money?"Alice nodded ..." Good wearing a good coat?" She looked her daughter from head to foot ensuring that she did... "Good ok you get your school stuff and I'll pick you up from Harry's later ok, love you" kissing Alice's forehead she walked downstairs.
James walked forward trying a little too hard to not look nervous, only succeeding to make himself look all the more nervous. "Er-um hay A-Alice did you have a good su-s- summer" he could hear the twins murmurs of 'aww' and 'how adorable' followed by a smack round the back of the head from there mother and them saying 'ahh that hurt mum'.
Turning all his attention back to Alice to see her give a smile that felt infectious, he just couldn't stop himself from giving her a goofy grin. Alice replied in an exasperated tone 'Eh it was a 50/50 thing on one hand I got some absolutely stunning views of Denmark, on the other hand that's another time I've been dragged on a stupid expedition to find some stupid imaginary creature that mum and dad made up." She wrapped her arms around his sides and pulled him into a warm hug, "But it's so great to be back and to see you again, and I suppose it good to see those fools too." Fred and Arthur gave a look of mock hurt "Oh just good is it, we're sorry we aren't the boy wonder over there." There grins wide across there face they both pulled her into a hug "It's good to have you back Alice." She pulled back and looked at her three friends, she settled her eyes on James and with a faint blush on her cheeks and said "It's good to be back."
The large group consisting of Harry, Nymphadora, James, Teddy, Lilly, Alice, Fred, Arthur, George and Hermione now left through the backdoor of George's shop and stepped out onto the main street. The first shop James, Alice, Fred and Arthur entered was Madame Malkin's robes for all occasions. On entry the four of them were met by a squat, smiling witch dressed in a rather elegant turquoise dress, 'hogwarts dears?' she asked and the four all nodded in confirmation.
Alice was the first to stand on the footstool infront of 3 very tall mirrors, Malkin instantly started moving around her magical measuring tapes measuring every possible part on her body. Looking at the measurements Malkin chucked 'well my dear your certainly going to grow quickly in the hip and chest area. With this comment the twins burst into laughter, and James had gained a noticeable blush that the twins didn't fail to notice, James knew they would start to torment him about it at some point. Alice on the other hand had gone a rather magnificent shade of scarlet with embarrassment. After stepping down James took Alice's place on the footstool, 'your rather thin and gangly aren't you dear' Malkin tutted. After James's fitting the twins stood up 'More Weasaly's hey? Well come on let's get this over with.' Malkin said with a smile.
After obtaining the nesasery;
Three sets of plain work robes (black)
One plain pointed hat (black)
One pair of dragon hide gloves
And one winter cloak (black with silver fastenings).
Each they all headed back outside to meet with the adults, upon exiting the shop James noticed his father carrying two owl cages containing owls, his mother carrying a box wrapped in brown paper and his brother carrying a cat carry basket. Harry noticed Alice and handing her the cage said "we've got you the owl you told us to get she's called Haydée." Haydée was a snowy owl with one rather large black patch on her left wing as if someone had spilt a bottle of ink over it. Nymphadora smiled at James and chucked "and you've got the strangest owl we could find! It's called Dantès." James couldn't help but agree it was a strange looking owl, Dantès was what is commonly referred to as a 'Long Eared Owl' it was cover with brown and yellowie brown feathers, and had spots of colour all over it mainly a grey colour. Is beak was as black as James's hair as was the long fluffy feathers that made up the 'ears'. Never the less James considered it to be an absolutely beautiful creature as he did with most animals.
On there way past they stopped into Flourish and Blotts to pick up a copy of the nesasery school books, and they entered numerous apothecarys to aquire all the equipment and ingredients needed for potions. All that was left for them to aquire was a wand, so the set off to Olivanders.
As the young quartet entered the shop a tinkling bell rang somewhere in the shop. They approached the counter and Mr Olivander exited the back of the shop and greeted them with a beaming smile, "Aah the four young people I've been looking forward to kitting out." he immediately moved two the twins and tape measures stated to measure there dimensions, after two minutes of measuring Olivaner hurried to a shelf and picked up two black boxes, "I don't think I've ever found a more perfect fit, these wands are made from dogwood. Now dogwood is one of my personal favourite woods wands made from dogwood are usually, quirky, mischievous and have a rather playful nature they tend to bond with wizards who can provide them scope for excitement and fun. Although do not think these wands are not powerful, they can be exceptionally dangerous although, one down side is dogwood wands refuse to do nonverble spells and can be quite noisy." Olivaner placed the two wand boxes on the counter and removed the lids. The wands inside were practically identical both the same pail wood and same length (8 inches) the only difference is that one had a rather distinctive point at the bace of the grip. Olivaner continued, " The left wand contains a Thunderbird's tail feather for a core, that makes it quite powerful, but rather difficult to master and it's very good at transfiguration. The other has White River Monster spine for a core, this will produce spells of great elegance and force." Without a moments hesitation the twins picked up the wand, Arthur claiming the White River Monster spine and Fred gaining the Thunderbird tail that had the point at the bace. Upon picking up there wands the lamps in the shop flaired blindingly bright, the twins whisperd "Wicked!"
Olivaner chucked to himself "Perfect."
The next person to gain there wand was Alice she pushed her long raven black fringe from her silvery-blue eyes, behind her petit ear and approached the counter Leaving James to admire the way her hair turnes a beautiful deep purple in the light. When she approached the counter tape measures we measuring her after a few minutes they stopped, Olivaner starred intently at her as if sizing her up and looking for some deep hidden power.
After searching the shelves for a few seconds Olivaner came back with a simple oak wand, when she picked it up nothing happened it appeared to act like a plain stick. Olivaner did not not look impressed with this, and went off to look at another shelf. After a minute of searching he came back with box that contained a 9inch Elm want, "give this a wave" Olivaner said. Upon waving the wand a small book sat on Olivaner's desk burst into flames,"No, no definitely not!" he said loudly.
Placing the wand back into its box Alice brought her hand up to her mouth to stifle a yawn. Upon doing this there was a loud snapping sound, and what sounded like many wand boxes falling from a shelf to the foor deep within the shop. Olivaner walked down a narrow gap between the shelves to where the noise came from and picked something up. Walking back to the front of the shop he placed a very old and very dusty box on the counter and opened it. The wand inside was in Alice's opinion absolutely beautiful, the wood was a ghostly white and shined with what seemed to be specks of silver in the wood. Before she could reach her arm out to pick up the wand, it flew from the box straight into her hand.
Olivaner smiled at Alice "That wand that has just chosen you is very old my dear, I was carved by my father and I was worried it would never claim a wizard I'm glad I was wrong. That wand is made of Silver Lime Wood an exceptionally powerful wand, that specialises for people who are skilled in legillimency and it particularly favors seers. It has a core of Jakalope antler a very useful core for people who specialise in the psychic arts.
Alice paid for her new wand and whilst looking at it intently, she took her seat next to Arthur and Frederick.

And that's that most future chapters will probably be within the 1,000 to 1,500 word mark. As always constructive criticism is always welcome.

And until next time have fun.
