Diagon Alley

"Diagon Alley!" The next thing Ella knew after Andromeda pulled her backward, Tonks was gone.

"You next, Ellie." Said Andromeda, handing her the floo powder.

It wasn't the first time she did it. Ella took a pinch of the floo powder and it scattered as she threw it on the ground with her eye shut, "Diagon Alley!"

Boom! The fire turned emerald green as she disappear. She opened her eyes and found herself in a completely different place. Dust was on her cloth, she dusted it off and look around to see where she was. She sigh in relief when she saw her cousin outside the shop, waiting for her.

As soon as she reached to Tonks, Tonks greeted her "Ellie! I dare you to walk into that Alley." said Tonks, pointing at the Knockturn Alley, earning a smack at her arm from the young girl.

"Are you mad? Aunt Andy will kill me." Ella hissed with a grin plastered on her face.

Andromeda soon came out from the shop, "Right, Gringotts first." she gestured for them to walk first.

Ella was looking around, as many witches and wizards walk past her. It was quite crowded so she hugged Andromeda's arm to prevent herself from getting lost in the crowd.

The last time she went to Gringotts was when Tonks's in her first year, but she had to stay out with Edward who then bought her ice cream while waiting for Tonks. "...Estella Black's vaults." Ella turned to Andromeda. The goblin took a glace at Ella before asking, "Have you got Miss Black's vault key?"

Andromeda gave her key to the goblin. Another goblin named Snaglok was called by him and was told to bring them to her vaults, "Right this way." Said the goblin.

Ella hesitate and look up to her second cousin who raised her eyebrows, telling her to follow behind Andromeda, "Ella, Dora, quick." With that, the two cousins ran to Andromeda.

"Holy Cricket, this place is creepy," Ella muttered to Tonks. Andromeda was ready to climb up the cart and called them out, "Hurry up."

Tonks and Ella paced up to the cart and climbed in it. The cart moves and it was getting faster as her hair flew at her face due to the cold air. She felt like she could vomit any second later. But then, the cart finally stopped. Andromeda was first to climb down before Ella, who was feeling dizzy.

"Are you alright?" Tonks laughed at Ella, trying not to vomit. "I'm fine," she stood back up. The goblin, Snaglok opened the door to the vault and it was Tonks's vault, Andromeda walked inside and took a few galleons for Tonks, who was now whispering something at Ella's ear. "Right, we're done with yours, Dora. Now it's Ellie's turn."

She saw Andromeda climbing back into the cart and let out a groan, "Aw man! I hate this!" Tonks giggled as she patted her head. The cart once again moved left, right, right, left. She was trying to remember the way but it seems to make her more confused and dizzy.

"Vault 711," said Snaglok as he unlocked the door to the vault of the Black family. Her eyes widened, "I remembered when this was my vaults.." Andromeda chuckled. "Your mother couldn't leave you without any money now, would she?" Andromeda smiled warmly at her while she took some money to buy her school supplies. "Alright, done," she said as she stood up.

"Where to next, mum?" Tonks asked as she hopped next to her. "I will go and buy her books, could you please take her to Ollivanders?"

Tonks nodded while taking Ella's arm. "Okey!" with that, Ella was dragged to Ollivander's wand shop with Tonks.

The door to Ollivander's wand shop opened as the bell rang, the shop was all dusty and quiet. "Good afternoon, young ladies." a voice showed up in front of the counter with a warm smile, making Ella flinch, but Tonks just smiled returned.

"Does he normally show out of nowhere?" Ella muttered to Tonks who then shrugged and nodded.

"Ah, another Black. It has been a while after young Regulus Black came to buy his wand. I still remembered the time your mother and father came. Miss Tonks, I hope your wand is still fine to use." He turned to Tonks, she nodded with a smile plastered on her face. Ollivander disappeared as he walked into the shelves. "Vinewood, with unicorn hair core, 9 2/5. You're wand arm?"

"O-oh uh, right, or is it left?" The girl confusedly raised both of her arms, remembering which is right and left with a frown on her face. "She's the right arm," Tonks answered to Ollivander.

Ollivander handed her the wand and told her to give a wave. She waved her wand at a glass of water and it suddenly broke to pieces, causing her to flinch with her eyes closed. She immediately passed the wand back to Ollivander. "Not for you." he sighs while shaking his head.

Ella looked at Tonks with a confused look but she just simply shrugged. "Try this one, Miss Black. English Oak wood with a phoenix feather core, 11 3/4. "

With a deep breath, Ella tried to fix the broken glass that has been scattered on the ground. With a swish, the pieces of the broken glass raised as they tried to shape themselves into a glass. The broken glass was now fixed and Ella let out a tiny gasp, she turned to Tonks who smile with her eyes widened. "Not bad, Ellie. We'll take it, Mr. Ollivander." Tonks paid 7 gold galleons to Ollivander before leaving the shop, "Bye!" Ella waved at him.

"That was fun!" She smiled at Tonks who had a smile on her face as well. "It was, wasn't it? Would you like to grab some ice cream while waiting for mum?" She pointed towards Florean Fortescue's ice cream. "My treat." Ella nodded as they to Florean Fortescue's ice cream.

Tonks had ordered her Raspberry & Chocolate, and as for Estella, she got her sticky toffee pudding. While waiting for Andromeda, Tonks told her about Hogwarts and their houses, telling her how proud she is to be a Hufflepuff.

"You named her Cassiopeia? That's a fancy name." Ella looked at her Tawny owl, "Well that name was the first one that popped in my mind, I like that name."

Tonks turned off the light before going into her bed, "Alright, alright, now we better go to bed. We're leaving to King's cross tomorrow, don't want to miss the train, do ya?"

Ella scoffed as she rolled her eyes, "Tell that to the girl who slept till noon." she said, referring to Tonks who literally had to wake her up five times a day. "Whatever, night."

"Goodnight."
