After getting hogwarts acceptance letter I was surprised to see some teacher will be coming to my house. I thought that was only for muggle born which I clearly wasn't. After informing Keecher about potential visitor I got ready to meet him or her.
Hearing a knock I decided to open the door instead of Keecher. There was stern lady wearing green robes. "I think, I don't need explain anything. So I will meet you tomorrow 10.00am to get your supplies" said and she disappeared. Clearly Mrs. Grifindor.
Next day
Again another knock and same lady. "I'm Professor Minerva McGonagall." Prof. McGonagall said. " I'm Lucifer Black... Prof. McGonagall. You can call me lucifer" Lucifer said. "Then Lucifer, we need to hurry up. I have to pick up another student before going to diagon Alley. We'll be appearating. Hold my hand tightly"
We quickly appeared near middle class house in 90s. After knocking a little girl with brunette hair dashed out cheerfully. "Hermione this is Lucifer Balck. Lucifer this is Hermione Granger. You are future classmates. Now hold my hand"
Soon we appeared in a more bustling diagon Alley. "First we need to go to gringotts. It's where wizards keep their money. Hermione can exchange her muggle money in their."
Prof. McGonagall said. Gringotts looked the same as last time. After entering gringotts I couldn't find gripshark so I asked another about him. "Where is gripshark? He is my personal manager" Lucifer said. "I will inform sir gripshark immediately." looked like he was able to promoted.
"Lord Black, May your glory spread through the world and make your enemies feel terrible" Gripshark said."May your wealth reach uncountable and your enemies drawn under it." Lucifer said. "Lord Black this is a special card connected to your vault which can burrow money immediately with a limit of 1000 galleon per month" Gripshark said offering a black card with various symbols drawn in it. "Thank you Gripshark" while I'm doing business with Gripshark Hermione and Prof. McGonagall had finished transferring pounds to galleons. "Ok, let's go and buy your school supplies. We should probably divide. You to go and buy wands and school robes. I will get other supplies."
Prof. McGonagall said. " I already bought those things. Don't bother about them Prof. McGonagall."
"Where could we buy our wands and robes. Prof. McGonagall didn't said anything about that....." Hermione started chattering nonstop. "Don't worry little lady. You aren't alone" Lucifer said while closing Hermione's lips with his finger. Then he grabbed her hand and started walking. Hermione confused and with a red face quietly followed Lucifer toward olivanders.
After entering there was nothing but dust filled cupboards. "Oh.... First year's for hogwarts. Wands choose its master. Ladies first Miss?" Mr. Olivander said. Lucifer pushed nervous girl to the front. "I'm Hermione Granger" she said. Measuring tape began to measure around Hermione automatically. "what's your wand hand Miss. Granger?" Mr. Olivander asked while rummaging through his shop. "Um.... Right."
Olivander measured her right hand and "It will shorten my range"
"Hazel wood, 13 inches long with a unicorn hair. Inflexible and very loyal wand." Olivander said giving Hermione a wand. "No its not....." Olivander snatched it asap.
"Cheak this, Vine wood, 10 & 3/4 inches long. Dragon heartstring as a core. Vine wood is quite perfectionist wood."
As Hermione waved this wand little sparks emerged from the tip of the wand making little girl jumping up and down from excitement.
