 ::: PRE HOGWARTS ::: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 They had decided with complete certainty that lunch would either be omelette at the newer restaurant or beans on toast at the leaky cauldron. Melinda would much prefer the omlettey goodness, her brother just wanted to brag about being in a pub.
“Come on Nathan, they have waffles there! Please, please, please.” Melinda tried convincing her brother. He simply shrugged at her and continued on. Janet and Melinda smiled at each other and copied his shrug, turning as Nathan had done. Giggling at their childish behaviour, Melinda was suddenly hit from behind and fell forward on all fours.
“Ahhh.” Thunk, thud “Melinda!” Her mother voice.
"I-I-I.... I'm so sorry! -tch- I didn't mean to -woo- run into you. Oh gosh. Are you -woo- okay? Did you get hurt?" Not her mother’s voice. Melinda quickly glanced at who had bumped her, a young boy around her own age, and then examined her hands for injuries. No broken skin, she rubbed the dirt off on her shorts, and accepted her mother’s help to stand. Her knees looked a little rough, maybe a bruise later, but so far, all clear. It could have been a lot worse.
A man was apologising to her and her mother. Janet, was too busy fussy over Melinda to pay the man any mind. Meli rolled her eyes and gently moved away from her parent. “Mom, im okay.” To the man and boy Melinda said, “I fall down all the time. I’m alright.” She smiled at the boy to show him she truly was okay.
“We were just on our way to the wand shop.” Melinda said politely. She then noticed the letter in the boy’s hand. Oh, so he was going to be a new student too? He had nice eyes, she noted, and he dressed better than her brother.
“Do you have your wand yet?” She inquired, her mother was looking around for Nathan who mustn’t have seen them stop, Dumble also was nowhere in sight. “Melinda.” She held out her hand to the boy with another smile for the pair.

xx✯ Wʜᴇʀᴇ Aᴍ I? Diagon Alley Street
xxx✯ Wʜᴏ Is Wɪᴛʜ Mᴇ? Dad, Melinda and her family

xxxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? At least she seems nice?
Kai sighed at his dad saying he needed some robes, but at least he agreed it was super boring and could wait until later. "I was just saying it could -woo- wait until closer to time to go to school. That way they -woo- last longer into the year. I gotta -tch- make it to winter break at least." He grinned, laughing a bit. It was true that he could get robes now, but there were still like 6 months before school, so getting clothes now meant they might be too small closer to time. And since Kai didn't know how to sew anything, he figured it might save money and time. Plus, having to stand still long enough to get all measured sounded just awful.
Just a moment later, while Kai was happily talking about getting his wand, he accidentally collided with another kid about his age. Kai looked up at his dad, accepting his help back to his feet. Luckily Finn didn't mind doing up the big apologies, since Kai was feeling like he just wanted the ground to open up and swallow him whole. Luckily, it seemed, the girl wasn't hurt, just a little dusty. The girl mentioned they were on their way to the wand shop. Hey! How about that? Kai gently tugged on his dad's shirt, looking up at the man. There was like a 50/50 chance that this would be a good thing to do.
Words weren't spoken until she asked if he had his wand yet. "Not yet. We were just -woo- just thinking of going to Ollivanders now." He glanced between the girl and her dad, wondering what mom would do if she were there.... probably freak out. She was very dramatic, after all. The girl held her hand out, offering her name. Kai extended his, shaking her hand a bit awkwardly. "My name's Kai. And this is my dad. We call him Finn." He suddenly remembered one of their first conversations, way back at Wool's, when Kai was excited that everyone had nicknames. The cool part was that even after adopting the girls, it still held true. "So dad... wand? O-Or do you think Mom would be sad? 'Cause I -woo- really want my wand." He sent up a grin, a wild twinkle in his eyes. Perhaps he had a chance to make a friend that would go to school with him... and not boring primary school either, but real-deal Hogwarts!

 ♩♯⌬ANGIER HUIYAN ZHENGfirst year || unsorted || halfbood
violinist and cellist
_______________
Angier had never really cared about shopping. Grocery shopping with his ma was boring and normal. School shopping with her had always been efficient and the point. Angie wasn’t sure why he expected shopping for magical school to be any different. His mother had bustled them out of the wand shop as soon as his wand had been determined, barely letting Angie pet the store attendant’s tabby cat, much less ask the attendant questions about wands.
He twirled his new wand around in his fingers idly. If he was correct, that about wrapped up the shopping. Unless his ma needed to use a cauldron for some brewing or get a potion...something about the weeds in the backyard being an eyesore.
”An An, put that away when you’re not using it,” Faye snapped without looking up from comparing her shopping list to his supply list.
”Why, everyone here’s magic and knows about it,” Angier replied, but tucked the magical instrument away. ”If you’re just going to go shopping for potions ingredients can I wait for you at Mr. Quan’s?”
At least then he could read a book and talk to some interesting strangers.

 ʚĭɞ🏛FIANA ARLIN BYRNES39 years || former Museum Educator || muggle
Mother of Torin and Skyla
_______________
Four years. It was odd how quickly the last four years had flown by when she thought about how soon it might end. Yet the last few months had felt like a whole new lifetime. That fateful day, one Wesley Edgeworth had arrived bearing not only news of a magical world hidden right under their noses, but also that Torin and Skyla were such magical folk. They were invited to learn more and develop their magic at a magical boarding school in Scotland.
Once convinced it wasn’t some prank, Fiana had pestered Governor Edgeworth with questions about the magical world and school. As soon as they kids had gotten out for summer recess, Fiana had taken the kids with Mr. Edgeworth to go shopping for a whole host of magical school supplies. She wasn’t usually one for shopping, but this was exploring a whole new world!
Since then,Torin had gotten a new chair, equipped for the magical world. The plan today had been to go try it out around Diagon Alley, and maybe check out a few shops--maybe get an owl, or get Skyla a pet of her own. Aldis was supposed to be coming along as well, but something had come up last minute at work, and he was—as usual it seemed— working all weekend again.
“Is the new chair working okay?” Fiana asked Tor as they started on cobblestone. Fiana tried not to be over-worried, but for the past four years it seemed her job was to worry. “Sky sweetie, do you remember the tapping for the wall?”
She reached for her notebook, confident she’d written it down when they last came with Mr. Edgeworth. Then again the three of them had spent plenty of time the last few days poring over the twins’ new coursebooks. Maybe all this magic was starting to mix itself up!

xx❈ Wʜᴇʀᴇ Aᴍ I? Outside Diagon Alley
xxx❈ Wʜᴏ Is Wɪᴛʜ Mᴇ? Mom, Torin
xxxx❈ Wʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ? Locked Out???
xxxxx❈ Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? How do we get in now?
Skyla was super excited. Not only were they like... super magical, but the guy who told them they were magical also knew a guy who made custom magical wheelchairs and stuff. So now they were here to test the new chair, which they'd picked up a while prior. They were going with their mom, this time without the magical guy leading them around the shops. Then again, that was Sky and Torin's secret plan. They wanted a chance to explore the alleyway without the fancy-pants guy. They still had their mom with them, but she was pretty fun sometimes.
"The chair has to work! If it wasn't working, it's still got wheels. Like how if an escalator stops working it just becomes stairs." She grinned up at the woman, then looked at the wall. Her mom asked if she remembered the tapping. Of course, Sky grabbed her wand, then pondered. "I'm pretty sure you've gotta tap... uh... that one. And maybe that one." She thought about it a second, then huffed in frustration. "Okay. So maybe I don't remember. But we only watched the guy do it once! Right Tor? It's not my fault I don't remember! Maybe me and Torin can go into the restaurant there and ask the counter guy? Or wait until another magic person needs to go shopping." She tapped her foot, trying to think up a plan.
You held me down, but I got up, already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound, like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up, get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now! I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire 'cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion 'cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar

“Good, then just keep an eye on it just to be sure. We can report any oddities to Mr. Edgeworth, just in case something happens at school,” Fiana replied softly. She was reassured that the new chair seemed to be working out at least. And she knew Torin was bouncing on his wheels--literally-- to really run the new magic chair through its paces.
The kids seemed to remember only pieces of the tapping pattern to enter Diagon Alley, ”Not an issue, I’ve got it here.” she said, showing them a diagram of the brick wall before them, with a numbered list of what to tap. Fortunately, Fiana wasn’t so far out of touch that she didn’t document as much as she could! Unfortunately, she couldn’t make the combination work, as she was not magical in the same way. But Torin and Skyla would be more than capable of that, and in a few months, they would be learning spells to do leaning and levitating and all these things she could only imagine. ”Would one of you like to do the honors?”

xxxxx❈ Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? We did it!
Skyla listened as Torin replied that his chair wasn't vibrating, which was indeed a good sign. Then it was back to their debate about the bricks. She thought her recommendation to wait for someone who needed to do magic in town was a good one, but then Torin said they could just go ask the guy in the restaurant. "But what if that guy doesn't know about magic? Maybe he just thinks people like hanging out in this weird alcove behind his shop.... for a long time. I dunno. Or what if he's a grump who smacks up around or something?"
Of course, then their mom chimed in with a logical thought, one that was probably the best plan. Sky watched their mama tap on the bricks... only nothing happened. She then looked at Skyla and Torin, then asked if they'd do the honors. "Oh! Do we need magic to get in? Lemme try using this wand I got. It's gotta be good for somethin, right?" She chuckled, tapping the bricks her mom pointed out. After a second, the magical pathway opened up, revealing the town. "There it is! We did it! C'mon, let's go explore!" The brunette stepped in, looking around the now very crowded alley.

xx⇴ Wʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀᴍ I? Diagon Alley

xxxx⇴ Wʜᴀᴛ's ɢᴏɪɴɢ ᴏɴ? Governess Duties
xxxxx⇴ Wʜᴀᴛ'ʀᴇ ᴍʏ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs? I always love this moment
Nora nodded at the boy's question, before explaining the process softly. He hurried to pull on his jacket, before his grandpa told him he'd be fine, just to listen to her. Nora sent a thankful nod over toward the man, before holding Declan by the hand. "Alright, deep breath in..." She spoke softly, before she felt the familiar feeling of feet lifting from the ground. A quick second later landed the duo in the little alcove behind the Leaky Cauldron. Nora, having apparated many a student here, knew there was a large bin here, just in case.
Taking out her wand, the woman carefully tapped at the brickwork, watching with a smile as the archway opened up. "Welcome, Declan, to Diagon Alley, and to your future." She led him through the archway and onto the alleyway proper. Luckily, it was still early spring, so the Alley wasn't nearly as crowded as in the summer months. "Did you bring along the letter? Inside, it will have a list of all your supplies. We can go in any order that fascinates you. And as we walk, I'll try to make sure you're able to see all the sights. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask."
This was the part she loved most of her job. Getting to experience Diagon through eager new eyes every time. It always took her back to when she was an eleven year old, ribbons in her hair as she asked a million questions. Hopefully, just hopefully, she could make the experience as wonderful as her own had been. Declan seemed a lovely sort, and she quite hoped the trip would be memorable and wonderful. Plus, being on the alley meant Nora would be able to say hello to Nani, as well as possibly Laili. And since it was a Thursday, it meant her grandson would be along at one shop or the other. A lovely day all around.

Declan did as he was told and took a deep breath before he was suddenly lifted off the ground and pulled along with her to a small courtyard. When he feet hit the ground, Declan stumbled a little but managed to keep his composure. He blinked and looked around their surroundings. "Where are we?" he quietly muttered to himself. But she was already taking out her wand and tapping the bricks on the wall. Suddenly they peeled back and opened into an archway. Declan gasped and reached out to touch the archway, then glanced into the street that had appeared behind it. "Wow!" His blue eyes swelled and he eagerly took in all the sights, glancing up and down the wide alley, almost missing her asking if he had his letter. "Oh, sorry ma'am. Here it is," he said, producing the still sealed letter. He'd never got a chance to even open the letter in question. With shaky hands, he unsealed the letter to look it over, glancing at the list of ingredients, books, and equipment that he needed to purchase before school. "Um, I... I don't have any money... ma'am," Declan said shakily, suddenly realizing he had no way to pay for any of this. Was his dream come true about to die before he even had time to savor it? Tears started to well in his eyes as he feared that he wouldn't get to go to this magical school.

Nora watched Declan's surprise, happy that he seemed excited for all the changes. After asking if he still had the letter, Declan agreed, even taking a moment to apologize. "No problem at all, little lamb. I have extra copies of the shopping list if we needed them." Hopefully an explanation helped. As the boy looked over the list, he seemed to deflate a bit, before he shakily said he didn't have any money. It was then she noticed the tears lining his lashes.
"Oh, fy nghariad, my love. Don't you worry yourself at all. The school has a fund to pay for our lovely new students. You don't have to pay anything at all. I promise, we'll get all you need so you can begin your magical journey." She gently set a hand on the boy's shoulder, giving a reassuring squeeze. She never liked when kids felt sad, and if she could avoid it, she always would. "So where would you like to begin? Does anything seem extra fun to buy?" Maybe she could get his smile to return.

This day had been so eventful already that the thought of not being able to attend this school he'd just found out about recently was too much. But Nora dispelled his mounting fear by telling him that the school was going to pay for the supplies he needed. "Really?" he asked with a sniffle, then pulled his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his nose. He couldn't believe that the school would also pay for the supplies to go there. "And... and we don't have to pay anything to go there either?" It all seemed so farfetched from what he was used to. His primary school was expensive, something his father reminded him about frequently. He had to be a stellar student because his parents worked very hard to afford to send him to school. So to be going to a school for free and above that, they would pay for his school supplies, at least for his first year, was something outlandish to him. But Mrs. Heulwen seemed to be positive that this was normal, so he gave a little nod and looked at the shopping list again. All of it seemed so interesting and he was definitely curious about the wand on the list. He assumed that was what she had used to conjure the pretty birds. But he would save that for last because it was the most interesting. "Um, I... the textbooks seem interesting, ma'am. I love bookstores but my mum and dad only let me read specific 'church approved' books. I think I've read the same books a dozen times." He sighed and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, still entirely taken aback by the sight of the Alley.

Nora nodded calmly when Declan asked to confirm that no charge would be due. "Of course, dear. I wouldn't bring you out somewhere with no money or any way to pay." A soft smile touched her lips, the woman glad she'd managed to avert crisis. Declan wiped his nose, then asked about the actual cost of Hogwarts. "Free of charge as well. Once you're a bit older, there are some special elective classes you'd have to pay for, but otherwise, all is free. Then, when you reach third year, you'll be able to take field trips to the local village beside Hogwarts. Most people bring some coin to buy things there, but there are several free activities there too. You'll get full room and board, three wonderful meals a day, sports, games, clubs of all sorts... All because you're a wonderful addition to our magical community."
She gently tussled his soft hair, a sweet smile on her face. After he read the list, he asked about going to the book shop. Apparently he normally had a very short list of "acceptable" reading material. Normally, Nora would say something, but perhaps a more subtle act of sticking it to religious family would be better suited here. "Very well, then. Let's go collect your textbooks. And if you see any others you'd like to view, please let me know, okay?" She set her hand on his shoulder, gently guiding them toward the bookshop. "Flourish & Blotts is here. Are you ready?" She held open the door, allowing access to the boy.

After happily paying for the wand, Declan tucked the box close to him as they exited the shop back into the street. He glanced up and down the alley and a sad realization hit him. Since they had all the necessary items from his list, that meant they were done and he'd have to return to his home. He gave out a small sigh and frowned. "This was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to school." He gave a little nod and tried his best to smile, but it was apparent that he was not looking forward to returning to his mundane life, now knowing that this magical world existed. Before he could continue that train of thought, someone called out, "Oh ho! There you are!" Making their way towards them was an older man with shocking blue hair carrying a covered cage. He waved at them to garner their attention and hustled closer. "You must be Mrs. Nora Heulwen and you must be my nephew, Declan!" He held up a finger to pant for air for a second, then added, "My name's Seamus. O'Kerry. Happy birthday nephew!" He handed Declan the cage that issued a soft hoot. That caught Declan quite off guard and he lifted the cover to peek at the small tawny owl in the cage. "She's a tawny. All the necessary food and care manuals are in this," he said and handed Declan a small bag. Declan was confused as to why his uncle was gifting him with a pet owl. "This...this is an owl?" he asked, a questioning look on his face as he glanced from his uncle to Nora.
