Diagon Alley: Third Arc/Year Four. <3

<3

They all entered the wild street full of people running around, buying stuff, talking, doing stuff.

Kelsi breathed in the fresh air, and got trampled by a large group of people.
"Meh!" she exclaimed as she fell over.
"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" Kelsi yelled again. She pulled herself up, and shook her fist at them.

The group of people turned around and all lifted their middle finger before running off.

Rachel entered, and saw Kelsi, she was happy she had at least one friend here so early with her! So, she ran up to her from behind, and attempted to tackle-hug her/jump on her back, ignoring the fact that she was taller and heavier than Kelsi.

"OW NOT ANOTHER MOB" Kelsi screamed. She spun around, and fell atop her back.
"UNCLE! UNCLE! 8D! RACHEL!" Kelsi huggled Rachel.

"KELSI! How has been your summer?" she asked happily, climbing off of her.

"Uberly fantastic. But listen, there's some terrible news. I dunno, we're so cheerful, but I need to get it off my back. Libby wants me to tell all of you, so yeah. Rachel- Grace died. She was killed- most possibly by Casey. Who has decided to go evil last year. It's so complicated. She always hestitated in telling you guys, in fear of you guys thinking she was gonna go bad, too. But- I was astounded at that. I mean- YOU GUYS DON'T HATE HER! YOU GUYS ARE HER BEST FRIEND! YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND! So act like you understand got it? Now- A small moment for Grace, and then we need to go get our shopping done. But, like, I couldn't sleep last night because of it."

Rachel stared at her in shock and silence. "Poor Grace... she was so nice! But..." Rachel looked really worried and concerned for a minute. "...Do you think the Death Eaters or returning? I mean, there was that trouble at the Quidditch World Cup, and now, Grace. I really hope not, my aunt and my uncle were killed by them..."

"Wait- what quidditch world cup? What's that? What happened?!"

And so, Rachel explained the whole thing. Firstly, what the Qudduitch world cup was, and what happened there that year. "...And so, everyone was like freaking out, because the Dark Mark hadn't been spotted for YEARS, and now here it comes, right out of the blue over the campsite..."

"Oh my god... Wow..." Kelsi whispered.
"Dang... that's like, freaking creepy."
She stared at the ground for a long moment.
"Wait; we should start getting our stuff..."

"Yeah," Rachel tried to put on a happy face first. "So, what do you what store do you wanna go to first? Cause I don't really care."

"Weeell.... I do need new robes. So, should we head to the robe shop?"

"Oh, sure! I could use some new ones too, and we need to get dress robes this year."

"Oh, I'm going to make mine. Somewhat. I'll get like, an already-made light, plain dress, and buy fabrics, and go from there."

"You know how to sew? I didn't know."

"Nope. I'll search up spells. I practiced a bit last year."

"Oh, well, I'm not that skilled in Charms. In fact, I have no skill at all in it, so I'll have to buy," and with that, she walked right into the shop.

Kelsi ran in after her friend.
"Well, I think there might be some fancy robes shop down the street."

"Oh, heh, but still, school robes anyway,"

"Yep! ^^"

"So, what else is new that happened over the summer? Hopefully something happier?"

"Hmm... Andrea's starting school."

"Yeah, you told me, when we're at the beach, remember?" Rachel was looking at school robes at various different sizes. "Is she excited?"

"Very. Very excited." Kelsi grinned. She found her size, and went to the clothing person, who began pinning it at the places needed as she still talked with Rachel.

"But, man, I'm excited for this year. I mean, we're finally fourth-years. Not considered small people anymore."

"Yeah, I know!" Rachel had found her size as well, and began to have it fitted for her too. "It's going to be so much fun this year, I can tell! Especially after everything that happened LAST year..."
