" Wait why a wizard isn't she suppose to be a witch? " Rory asked Hagrid.
" Well her blood line is rare and royal like pure blood gold. Cause she different from other wizards." He laugh as Rory crack up a smile at her .
"Wait wait. You've made a mistake. I mean....I can't be a wizard . I mean , I'm just Leon . Just Leon . " She said as Hagrid shake his head .
" Well just Leon, did you ever make anything happen ? Anything you couldn't explain , when you were angry or scared ? " He asked then she remembered about Jessica falling in that room in the Reptile house, a broken mirror and electric hands. Hagrid stood up and walk toward her to give her the letter , she took it and opened it and started to read while Rory walk over to her and look at it.

"Then he met that Wu girl , and had you......and I knew you would be the same . Just as strange just as abnormal . And then she vanished into thin air and we got landed with you . " She said as tears coming down from Leon's cheeks as her heart start to boil.
" Vanished ?!?! You told me that my parents died in a bloodily car crash! " She yell at them as Hagrid look at them with shocked and frustration.
"A car crash ? A car crash killed Jin Woo and Luna Wu ? " He yell as Jessica took the cake way and when to the back .
"We had to say something- It's an outrage . A scandal ! " He cut off Uncle Johnny .
Then Uncle Johnny shook his head, " she'll not be going. " He said as Hagrid laughed at him.
" Oh , and I suppose a great Muggle like yourself's going to stop her , are you ? " He asked as Leon look up to Hagrid puzzled.
" Muggle ? " Rory and Leon question himself the same time.
" Non magic folk. This girl's had her name down ever since she was born ! She's going to the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world, and she'll be under the greatest headmaster Hogwarts' has ever seen : Albus Dumbledore. " He said as Jessica started to eat all of Leon's cake while Uncle Johnny was really heating up.
" I will not pay for some crackpot old fool to teach her magic tricks ! " He yell at Hagrid , he whips out umbrella and points it at Johnny.
" Never insult Albus Dumbledore in front of me. " He said the he sees Jessica eating Leon's cake, and points the umbrella at his rear. A grey tail grows.
Jessica turned around to see she grow a cat tail " Ahh ! " She screamed as the family screamed as well and chases after Zander while Rory and Leon laughed. " This is the best day of my life . " Rory said while laughing while giving a hi five to Leon then Hagrid knee forward to them.
" Oh, um, I'd appreciate if you didn't tell anyone at Hogwarts about that. Strictly speaking, I'm not allowed to do magic. " He said as they nodded " Okay . " Leon replied .
Hagrid checks his clock " Ooh, we're a bit behind schedule. Best be off. Unless you'd rather stay, of course. Hmm? " He said while leaving .
" Hagrid wait ! " Rory called him as he look at Rory .
" Is there any other family members Leon have ? " He asked as Hagrid think for a second .
" Well there's her cousin- get her out of here . " Rory said cut him off.
" Pardon ? " Hagrid was confused and shocked by the sudden statement .
" Take Leon away from his place, it's poison. " Rory cried as he beg Hagrid , " please get her out of hell . " He beg , Hagrid place his hand on his shoulder .
" I will talk to Professor Dumbledore . " He said as Rory walk towards Leon who was grinning , looks back, and grins again " promise me that you will take care of yourself over there and write letters to me . " Rory cried as she nodded while passing her bag .

" If you know where to go. " They go to a corner store and enter, The Leaky Cauldron and they went in , there were music and a lot of talking .
" Hagrid who's that ? " She asked as pointing to the barkeep .
" That's Tom owner here . " He whisper and nodded .
" Ah, Hagrid ! The usual, I presume ? " He said as Hagrid shook his head.
" No thanks, Tom. I'm on official Hogwarts business today. Just helping young Leon here buy her school supplies. " He said as Tom widen his eyes and dropped his jaws.
" Bless my soul. It's Leon Wu . " He said as the pub goes silent. A man comes up and shakes Leon's hand ." Welcome back, Mrs. Wu , welcome back. "
Then a witch comes up and shakes Leon's hand, as well. " Doris Crockford, Mrs. Wu . I can't believe I'm meeting you at last. " She said as Leon nodded with fear then a man in robes with a turban on his head appears ," Leon W-Wu. C-can't tell you how pleased I am to meet you. " He said as Hagrid smile at him.

" Yes, well, must be going now. Lots to buy. Heh . " Hagrid said as walking out with Leon.
" Good-bye. " to Professor Quirrel with a smile then the two leave into a back room winery in front of a brick wall .
" See, Leon, you're famous ! " He said as Leon raise her eyebrows.
" But why am I famous, Hagrid ? All those people back there , how is it they know who I am ? " She asked Hagrid while sigh.
" I'm not exactly sure I'm the right person to tell you that, Leon . " He said as Leon nodded understandingly.
" Oh man Rory will flipped the hell out if I tell him about this . " She smirk and laugh same with Hagrid the he taps the brick wall clockwise with his umbrella. The blocks shift and open up to reveal a hidden, busy street.
" Welcome, Leon , to Diagon Alley . " Leon grins broadly as they step into the street and walk down it. An owl screeches.
" Here's where you'll get your quills and ink, and over there all your bits and bobs for doing your wizardry. " Hagrid said and Leon nodded .
Leon is amazed as they pass by shops and owls and bats. A group of boys are crowded around a shiny broom." It's a world class racing broom. Look at it, its the new Nimbus 10000 ! It's the fastest model yet. " He said as Leon wow with amazement.
" Just one question , Hagrid, how am I to pay for all this ? I haven't any money . " She said as Hagrid look at her.
" Well there's your money, Leon. Gringotts, the Wizard Bank. T'aint no place safer, 'cept perhaps Hogwarts. " He said while walking inside the bank, they walk down the shiny aisle, passing tiny creatures working.
" Uh, Hagrid, what exactly are those things ? "She asked a bit worried
" They're goblins, Leon . Clever as they come goblins but not the most friendly of beasts. Best stick close to me. " He said while Leon sticks to him. Then Hagrid clears his throat as they approach a counter with a goblin in it. " Ms. Leon Wu wishes to make a withdrawal. " He said as the goblin looks up then look down and look at Leon.
" And does Ms. Leon Wu have her key ? " He asked Hagrid who remembered something.
" Oh. Wait a minute. Got it here somewhere. Hah. Here's the little devil. Oh, and there's something else as well. Professor Dumbledore gave me this. It's about you-know-what in vault you-know-which. " While hands Goblin letter wrapped in string.
