John Fred Weasley groaned as he rolled out of his bed in the large, magically constructed house where he and his parents lived. He got up and thumped down the stairs and into the kitchen where his parents were sitting and drinking their coffee. "Morning mum, morning dad," John said as he poured himself a bowl of cereal. He looked out the window and saw his brother and sister degnoming the garden excitedly. John took a seat and asked, "Are we going to Diagon Alley today?" as he spooned some Frosted Flakes into his mouth. His mother bought everything but cereal from the wizard markets. "Yes we are dear. We're leaving as soon as you get ready," his mother said. John, suddenly enlivened, ran up the stairs and got dressed. Diagon Alley was one of his favorite places in the world, and his mother only let him go every now and again if it wasn't for school. John looked in the mirror. His brown hair swept across his forehead, leaving his blue eyes able to see everything. Most people hadn't thought he was a Weasley in his first year at Hogwarts. If it weren't for his freckles that stretched from his left cheek to his right cheek, the idea would be totally laughable. He had taken a lot after his mother but his aunt said he still had his father adventurous nature. And fear of spiders. John trodded down the stairs again where the rest of the family was waiting for him. "Diagon Alley awaits," his father said as he marched out the door, his mother smirking as his younger siblings ran after their dad.

Veyas was riding his broomstick around, enjoying the freedom before going back to Hogwarts where, though he flies often it never feels the same. The air just felt better here. He took out his two wands his family wand, Phoenix and Dragon as one unbelievable, but his wand was just as special even if just a basic Larch Wood wand. Knowing he'd need his supplies he figured may as well get them now in Diagon Alley, more students he'll see there and actually he may as well just stay there no point going back and forth. He could send a letter to send his stuff once he's at the Leaky Cauldron. Veyas went ahead and cast the Invisibility Charm and continued flying off towards London. Landing in front of the Leaky Cauldron, he went ahead and wrote his family asking them to send his stuff while he got his school supplies. And with such and sending it, he went to Diagon Alley and began shopping. Maybe he should get a new pet while he's out, wondering what he should get, and of all the new adventures being a fifth year.

Eaton had gotten back from America with her Family. She love traveling but there was always something special about England. As she unpacked her things an owl came flying thru the open windows bring a gust of fresh England air. It perched its self on her dresser and dropped a letter to the ground. She thanked it with a pat on the head and some mango from California. As she ripped open the envelope the letter head bore the emblem of Hogwarts. She quickly scanned throu the letter as she did she came a crossed the letters ACCEPTED and ran to the bottom of the stairs as she yelled through out the house."I got excepted!" "I got excepted!" Right at that moment her Grandfather Olivander was coming in the door with a hand full of England sweets that she had miss so much and a big smile.

They all sat around the table as she read the letter with a mouthful of chocolate frogs.

TWO DAYS BEFORE
It had been a long Summer for Thomas. He was ready for his final year to began. Most of his summer was spent out in the sun reading. So he had gotten fairly tan. But he wanted to be in the halls smelling the old stone and be in the classrooms. The other day he had gotten a several letters from some of the top Quidditch teams. He was thinking about them and wondering which would be the best as he read. His mom yelled from the kitchen. "Lunch is ready." As he set the book down he though he saw someone from the corner of his eye but when he turned around nothing was there he scanned the area but did not see anything and did not think anything of it as he walked back into the house.

His mum had prepared a feast the table was full of his favorite things. "Did someone die?" "No, no, no." "I just though it would be nice if we had a good meal before we left to Diagon Alley." Thomas had spaced today they would leave. It would take two days to get there. He ran up the stairs and grabbed his bag stuffing things in it that he would need for the trip to Diagon Alley and ran back down the stairs throwing the bag next to the door and sat down in his seat as his mum got out drinks and had a smirk on her face.

Sadie woke up hard to the sounds of yelling and fighting. She threw off her covers and raced downstairs to find her parents standing and smiling around a bunch of school supplies. "You didn't think we would be arguing on your big day did you dear?" said her mother. Her father had a very mischievous smile, "After all honey its not every year a sear gets to take her family wand." Sadie's eyes went wide and a squeal of pure delight escaped her lips, "Are you serious? Please tell me you're serious!" Her father hugged her tightly, "Now listen honey, this wand deserves respect. I trust you will give it some?" Sadie nodded her mind still racing wildly, "So what next?" Her father smiled again, "Well dear we still have one thing to pick up in Diagon Alley." Sadie smiled really brightly, "What is it?" He smiled knowingly, "It's A surprise dear. Go get ready." And with that Sadie raced up the stairs and got herself prepared for a wonderful day.

As Yurski woke up, He felt a surge of excitement at the fact that school was beginning soon and he would be able to get back in training with the dueling club.
He had missed the thrill of competition over the Summer break with only his father to duel ,He had dueled his father 7 or 8 times and won every single time with ease and every time he beat him he would say "You would make a brilliant auror" but that doesn't interest him at all.
Just after waking up Yurksi ran down stair ,scoffed up his breakfast and start tapping the table impatiently...... After 10 minutes his father finally submitted and lit the fire and threw the floo powder in, After 6 years of being in england his father still hadn't lost his think bulgarian accent so when he threw the floo powder in and attempted to pronounce "Diagon alley" still under the pressure from Yurski to hurry up he ended up saying"Diegen elly". A split second later they were at the ministery of magic transport department and a young witch came over and said in a well rehearsed manner "Hello sir you appear to have confused the floo network where was your intended destination?" Father replied ."Diagon alley" "Ah i see how it was misinterpreted, ill just redirect you the now sir , have a good day"Said the increasingly bored young lady "Thank you".
And another flash and they were both stood at the mouth of diagon alley,Yurski immediatly ran off but father shouthed him back "Dont forget your gold" but by the time father had got his words out Yurki had disappeared in to the hustle and bustle of Diagon alley

Bunny prepares for her first year of school

Bunny was practicing a complicated movement on her Fender Auditorium Acoustic Electric as her mother looked on an listened. Bunny had adapted a Wagner opera by speeding up the harmonics and blending the melody into a piece of music that to all but the trained ear would sound like an original.
Finishing the movement Bunny sat down her guitar as her two Squib chamber maids an several house elves applaud.

"Oh Bunny I loved that performance it really demonstrated how much you've improved since you've been tutored by Gil" says Bunny's mum as she sweeps her daughter into an embrace

"It was such fun mother though for a moment there I did worry that I wouldn't be able to perform the double cord change in the beat I'd chosen" says Bunny as she still tries to catch her breath

"Well enough practicing my sweet Bunny, Carmen and Latisha are here to do your final fitting" says Lady Lancaster

Soon Bunny stands atop a fitting pedestal as her mum an the two seamstresses discuss appearance over function. Bunny uses the time as she always does to think. She drifts back in memory an reviews all that she's read an learned about Hogwarts, it's floor plan and it's rules.
She'd already gotten all of her books and even read all of Goshawk's Standard along with a good portion of her other school books.

Bunny had always been so inclined towards reading since she'd mastered the art at three. She was a prolific reader enjoying books of all sorts from both the wizarding an muggle world.

"Bunny here please try on this jumper it's a lovely shade of blue an will set off your eyes. You can wear it when you're not in class. says her mum pulling a cute little outfit from the rack.

[LATER THAT AFTERNOON]



The weather changed as quickly as a wand changes spells. The sun was hiding behind the cloud as if teasing all that it was going to rain but nothing fell. Diagon Alley was full of all the sorts of people you could think of. But there are a select few that where about to be in the midst of something beyond what they could ever comprehend.

---

((You all need to see or hear a magic bomb go of by Fred & George's Shop = Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, or Weasley and Weasley and have some kind of interaction with Bellatrix.))

John had finally gotten away from his parents and siblings and was now walking through WWW, browsing the different pranks. He walked up to his Uncle who was manning the cash register. "Well look who it is! My favorite nephew!" George exclaimed as he magicked all of John's items into a bag. "I wouldn't say that so loud. James might hear you again and try to hex you," John replied with a smirk. Just as George was about to wittily reply an explosion shook the shop. John was thrown over the cash register and fell on his uncle. George helped him up and they looked out the now shattered window. John could see the back of a woman's head, frizzy black hair giving him the sense that she was insane. His uncle, pale as a ghost pushed John behind him. "John, stay in here and hide. Don't try to fight her," George said before drawing his wand and edging closer to the entrance. What did he mean? Who was she? It seemed that his uncle had some idea. John drew his wand and followed his uncle, disregarding the cautions he had set for him.

Veyas walked past the only shop on diagonal alley meant for pranks, jokes, gags and all of the sort. It was also the biggest eye catch in this full place, "Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes" as it was. It was nice to be looking into the windows and see the smiling faces, that was until the windows were flying into your face. Veyas laid on the ground burned, cut, bruised, and what felt like a fractured skull. "Son of a bitch.." His voice pained, and in the moment after saying it he regretted it, Bellatrix Lestrange heard him, and she came. Toying with him for a moment crazy sounding, before she began torturing him with the cruciatus curse.

Isaak walked through the bustle of wizards and witches of Diagon Alley, looking for the shops that he would be buying his school supplies for his second year at Hogwarts. He was really glad to be going back to the wizarding school for his second year, and he couldn't wait to get return to Charms class. Charms was his favorite subject at Hogwarts, with Transfiguration and Defense Against The Dark Arts following close behind. He had always dreamed of becoming a very famous wizard for his skills in Charms, just like Merlin many hundreds of years ago. He never really understood why some wizards thought of Slytherins as always specializing in Potions when the two most famous Slytherins in history were specialists in different types of magic instead of Potions. It was his dream of breaking that stereotype and proving that Slytherins were among the best Charm users.

When he and his family had gotten to Diagon Alley, his parents let him go look around on his own for his things while they showed his younger siblings around the magical shops. At one point Isaak passed by the alleyway that lead to Nocturn Alley, and he made to keep away from that place. Many thought of Slytherins as always being bad wizards and witches, but Isaak wasn't one of them, he would never practice the dark arts unless it was absolutely necessary.

He soon came to the broom ship that displayed the latest types of racing brooms and stared in awe at the Firebolt which was one of the fastest brooms in the world. It and the Numbus 2000 were the brooms that Harry Potter had used when he was Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team during his student years at Hogwarts. Isaak hoped that this year he would be able to earn a place on the Slytherin team since it would be his second year and was the year when a student could tryout for the team. He was very good on a broom and he was keen on ether being a Seeker or a Chaser. He didn't mind becoming a Beater, but the other two positions were far more fun and exciting to Isaak.

He was passing by the Olivanders when he heard a loud explosion come from the joke shop owned by the Weasley Twins. the blast caught him completely off guard and he was almost paralized from the shock of what had just happened. he prayed to God that his family had been looking at a different shop, knowing that his younger brothers would have definitely been interested in looking around Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. He hurried quickly over to the area to see if his family was there, and he noticed a woman that he never thought he would ever see. Bellatrix Lestrange, was standing over another Hogwarts student and was torturing him with what he guessed was the cruciatus. Isaak was afraid but he had to do something.

he drew his wand and picked up speed towards the evil witch, and when he was close enough to not accidentally hit any of the civilians, Isaak shouted "Stupefy!!!"

his wand shot out a flash of red light as he cast the stunning spell, and it was aimed directly at Bellatrix.

Sadie was walking with her father and looking through all the shops. In her opinion her father should have just bought her a new pet after hers got transported somewhere never to be found. But...he had decided to wait and let Sadie come along, which was just a clever ruse for letting Sadie go shopping. "Dad...When i leave for school...Are you and mum going on tour again?" Her father smiled a bright smile at her, "Not this year dear." Her mother piped in, "Your father and i are being sent to investigate a dragon horde to look for a certain ruby." Her dad smiled a bit lazily, "Ah yes the ministry always has us on cases nowadays dear." Sadie just nodded. After a few moments she saw the shop the were approaching, "Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes! Oh mum can i get fire crackers please!?!" Her mother went to say yes but was stopped by a rockign explosion. Once the smoke cleared Sadie looked to see Bellatrix standing there about to kill a poor wizard, "Oh my god! Daddy!" Her father took his coat off ad threw it down, "Ashana get Sadie away from here! I have to try and stop her." Sadie's mother looked at him and grabbed his shirt, "You can't she'll kill you!" Sadies father removed her hand, "I am an agent of the MInistry of defense...I swore to my duties...better me than all those innocent people!" Sadie was crying wanting her father to stay out of this, "Daddy! I can help!" Sadies father looked to his wife, "Go now!" He turned and started running full force towards her, and he pointed his wand and spoke out, "IGNUS!" As soon as he spoke the words a flamethrower of white hot flames burned through the air and straight at her chest.

Eaton was so exited to be going to Diagon Alley! The Eiffel Tower, Salem, or the Pyramids didn't hold a candle to it all. She was always fond of the times when she would stay with her grandfather and watch him bring life to one of his wands. She would be so elated and wish she could also know magic. She will always remember the day that her grandfather took she to his shop and she was able to assist him in the making of her wand he had never let her help him. But after they found out she held the magic ability he took her that very day she flew into London straight of the plane to his shop so the could make her wand. She smiled as she remembered it and walked down the streets of the alley way. She stood there in front of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, and looked at the splendor. Just as she was about to look away a loud ear shattering bang happened Eaton ducked and covered her head. As she turned around she heard a bone tingling laugh she looked around and saw Bellatrix Lestrange standing there in the mist of the debris. She knew all about it because her parents told her all about Harry Potter and the things that happened with the one who must not be named. She was standing there laughing but she heard something and quickly turned around. There laying on the ground was a boy that had be hit by the bast. She enchanting to what Eaton recognized as the cruciatus curse at the boy. Eaton with out thinking started to walk closer to help the boy but before she could George (whom she recognized from her parents school books) had come and there behind him was a boy with brown hair and freckles standing ready to attack with a spell but before he could do any thing two hits of stupefy came bolting at separate directions. She got up looking at one side to the other, she stop in utter to what seem shock as she looked at one of the boys that hit her. And before she knew she was hit by another this one a flame barreled right at her chest. She was thrown to the wall and as she got up she looked at one of the boys and then disappeared in a green puff.

Eaton's parents came running and looking over there girl. "Are you okay?" "Yeah I am fine." Eaton said in more than a normally calm tone. "But it was Bellatrix?" Her parents looked at each other. With a worried look. Unbeknownst to her the little trips they had been taking where not just to research artifacts but to find Bellatrix. The Ministry's think was that they would be the least likely to be looking and more likely to find her. Her parents whispered and told her should we go to Leaky Caldron Eaton it seems we need to talk. Hesitant Eaton said yes and to lighten the mood Eaton asked. "Can a get a drink?" Her parents laughed and protested.

Thomas family had taken the train all the way to Diagon Alley. He slept most of the way there but for some reason he was feeling restless. He wanted to be there already. He never understood why his parents always insisted on taking the muggle's trains. He though it was to make him go mad! But this would be the last time he would be taking this train. It was his last year and he was thrilled. He may not have decided on what he wanted to do with his life but he knew that he wanted to live in the muggle world none of the back and forth bit. That was for sure!
The train stopped at its destination. it was night time and they would get a room in Diagon Alley. Even though he had slept most of the way there he was still tired. They got there room and he head straight for his bed. As his head hit the bed his last thought was which shop he wanted to go. Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. He smiled as he though of all the games and tricks he could buy.

That morning he got up later than he was expecting. It was the typical weather. Cloudy. He got up brushed his clothes (He was so tired that he had not even changed) and grabbed his bag. Heading to his destination.

He got in to the shop and as he was looking around he saw a flash and then BOOM! The front of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes was gone. He looked around and saw a dark curly haired lady. She did not notice him as he walked closer over to her. She had her eye on another boy. It all happened so fast he had his wand out and had stupefyed her while someone else and done the same. She stared at him as if hurt. Then a flame came at her and she was gone in a green flash. He did not even know if she was really hit. He thought out loud. "What in the hell is going on!?!?"

Esther looked around at all the chaos. She just stood there and didn't know what to do. Bellatrix was here, I thought she was dead. The battle at Hogwarts. I thought they killed her. Esther saw the girl who witnessed it all and watched her walk to the Leaky Caldron. She turned to her father who seemed to be dazed by all of this. He looked down at her. "Dad we need to go to the Leaky Cauldron. I need to talk to that girl."
"Oh Esther, so fascinated by everything. But no Bellatrix was just here and I can't have you go doing something that involves her."
"But dad I need to figure out" Before she finished her sentence she followed the girl into the Leaky Cauldron. She looked for the girl and when she finally spotted her she knew what she was gonna do was wrong. But she needed to figure out if it was really Bellatrix.

John was in shock. "Merlin's beard! Was that Bellatrix Lestrange?" John asked his uncle, a look of fear on his face.
"I'm afraid so," George said, stowing his wand in his back pocket. "John, stay in the shop. Don't come out no matter what. And I mean it. Your parents are probably on their way," George said, as he began surveying the damage.
John knew that if his uncle was scared, he should be too. Normally his uncle would be all about danger. Once they had snuck into a dragon's lair whent they visited Uncle Bill in Romania. John sat down behind the desk and went over what had just happened. He was interrupted by his mother trying to strangle him with a hug and his siblings asking him what it was like.
"Are you alright dear?" Hermione asked, rubbing her arm absentmindedly.
"I'm fine mum. She didn't even see me," John said. His mother seemed more disturbed than usual if he had been in trouble. She, like his uncle, seemed terrified. His father didn't look great and he heard him inquiring about Grandma Molly. Why all this fuss over one woman. What could she possibly do?

As soon as i had escaped fathers grasp i felt another hand pulling me down an alley, it was a women i slightly recognized the voice "I remember your birth...and now i will make you great" as the mysterious lady finished speaking she burst in to black smoke and flew into the weasly shop and let out a loud screech. All i saw was green flashes and screams and all i could think about was the mysterious voice....
I was mesmerized by the voice for a good 10 minutes and as soon as gathered my composure but all i can hear are screams and then the weasly shop exploded in a barrage of fire. The debris came flying at me my life flashed before my eye but then a black blur flew in front of me and obliterated the rubble before it reaches me then turns grabs my chin roughly ,kisses me on the cheek and whispers in my ear "you will alway be safe aslong as i am around" then with a loud crack she disapparated.

Isaak couldn't believe what he had just done, he had hit one Voldemort's top generals back when the Dark Lord lived before his death at the hands of Harry Potter. this made him both proud of his accomplishment, and scared of the evil witch having retribution. he had always imagined getting wizarding duels when he was older, but never would he have thought that he would fight against a Death Eater and at his age. life sure did cause many strange things to happen, and this was one of them.

"Isaak!" he turned and saw his family hurry over with worried looks on their faces. he walked over to meet them and thought up a way of telling them what happened without worrying them.

"What in Merlin's name happened here?" his father asked trying to keep a calm tone in his voice.

before Isaak could reply, a wizard from the crowd said in an amazed voice, "he sent a spell at the Death Eater Bellatrix and helped drive her off from torturing that boy over there!"

his parents and siblings looked at him in shock. Isaak didn't say anything and just nodded to tell them that what the wizard said was true.

"are you hurt?" his mother asked in a concerned voice.

"no, I'm fine mum, I just couldn't believe that Bellatrix was here" he replied.

"I would never have believed the idea of you, a twelve year old wizard would go up against the likes of Bellatrix Lestrange, I am very proud of you my son" his father said with a smile. Isaak smiled back, but truthfully, he was worried about the Death Eater and wondered if the mad witch would pose a threat to him and his family. he then remembered the tortured student and Isaak hurried over to the boy to see if he was alright.

"Do you need to go the hospital?" he asked Veyas in a concerned voice.

Paul sighed as he walked out of another shop. His coin purse was vary light now from buying his school supplies. And like every year he wondered if the fact he was not English would get him expelled . He sighed more deeply and started walking down the ally.

Paul's long robes where a few inches to small on the sleeve's being last years robes and the inside was a dark red in color. On his shoulder was his pet Rasmussen a Psedodragon commonly called a fire lizard. His body was about a foot long and his tail was two feet long. The tails of fire lizards where stingers and poisonous though the poison was not strong enough to do anything to humans other than make them sleepy. Though on the pray they hunted it was devastating mostly small mammals . Rasmussen chirped and hisses and fluttered his wings all four feet of them. Paul reached up and stroke Rasmussen behind the jaw, Expertly calming the fire lizard

Paul looked up as there was the sound of an explosion. Paul flicked his arm up sending Rasmussen into the air so he would be out of danger. He sprinted to the sound of the explosion. Paul's wand still tucked in his combat boot as he pelted to the sight of the sound.

Veyas still laid on te ground, pained, he physically still had no control over his body as he was waiting for the pain to subside. "Damn it, couldn't even pull a shoot off" he thought to himself

Paul panted as he burst threw the doors. Seeing some one who was out of the fight he waved his hand to send him sliding behind a shelf filled with fireworks. Paul raised his arms letting the anger that was not to far from the surface. And everything with in ten feet of Paul lifted off the shelving and herald it's self at Bellatrix. Wandless magic Paul had experimented with it . Though it came at a price, Paul felt a head ache form and a stream of blood flowed from his nose. But it was all for not because the moment the continence of the shelving would have hit her she disapperated.
