Diagon Alley and Hogwarts
Bucky’s POV/Third POV
The next morning instead of getting up for church at 8 every Sunday, dad got us up to go shopping for my school supplies for school in September. I got up at 8 and got ready and by 8:30 I got Steve up and dressed at least for the shopping trip. I have no idea how he is a heavy sleeper with everything that is wrong with him, but he is. Anyways once we got downstairs dad had a portkey ready since we couldn’t take the flow to the Leaky Cauldron. As soon as we grabbed the portkey we were dropped in an alley in the Mundane world. We walked out of the alley and went into the leaky cauldron and set down at a table while dad ordered breakfast for us.
“Steve wake up” I heard dad say, when I look at Steve who is seating next me and sure enough Steve has his elbow on the table and his head in his hand falling asleep. I just shook my head and smiled as our breakfast was brought to us.
“Ok when we get out of here, we will first be hitting the Trunk Shop, then the book store. When we get to the book store while you two are looking around, I will grab the potion supplies and then come back to the book store.”
“What about the Wand?” I asked.
“We will do the wand in America. With Ollivander only doing pre – made wands he is stunting the growth of peoples magic also by only using like three ingredients” Dad answered.
We finished eating and we headed out to the trunk shop after dad payed for our meals. Once we got there, a guy approached us and asked, “How can I help you three?”
“Hi yes, I need two multi-compartment trunks.”
“OK, what do you need in them?”
“I need a library, an apartment suit with a fully functional bathrooms and walk in closets as well a full kitchen with heat and cooling, potions lab, a training room, and a storage compartment. The spells I want on the trunks are anti – theft, to open to chosen magical signatures only, the boys names on the top of the trucks, and on one the Barnes Family Crest.” Dad answered.
“OK, boys can you write down your names, I and I will have them ready by next week. So, you can come pick up the trunks on March 16, 1927.” He told us.
“OK, we will be back then.” Dad told him turning us around and walking out of the shop.
“OK, boys I will be dropping you two off at the book store, and I will go get the potion supplies.” Dad told us we arrived at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. Dad left us in front of the bookstore and walked off. We went and started looking around. I grabbed the books I needed for school and more, and even Steve got the first-year books and a few more as well.
As we were coming up to the desk with Steve’s books this time, my father came into the shop, and came up to us and asked, “Is that all?”
“Yes, dad”
“OK” he replied as he payed for the books and put each stack of books in two bottomless bags that he also payed for.
“OK, boys lets go” dad said.
Time Skip
--------------------------------September 1927-------------------------------------------------
It is now September, time for me to go to school. Wednesday August 31, Dad and I came back to Grandfather’s and now I am going to Hogwarts. I wish I was going with Steve to school. I have my new cat I got after we picked up the trunks and got my uniforms, and Steve got an owl named Shadow and I named my cat Romeo, but my sisters and Steve call him Rome.
“Hey son you have everything?” Dad asked.
“Yes, in my bag and trunk and Romeo is in his cage.” I answered.
“Then lets get going, James” My granddad said shrinking my trunk, so I can put it in my pocket. Once it was shrunk, I put it my pocket and picked up Romeo’s cage. Going down to the fireplace to flow to the station to get on the train. I grabbed some flow powder and said “Kings cross Station” Once there I stepped out of the fireplace and here came dad once I stepped out. Once he was out of the fireplace he grabbed me and hugged me and said “No matter what house you are in be proud, and wright to us. You know Steve will flood you with letters, and I will keep an eye on him for you. Have a good year and I will see you for Christmas holidays”
He let me go and I went and got on the train for Hogwarts.
