As i walk through the opening in the wall, I look around at all the shops and select one called Flourish and Blotts. I had already gotten my money from mum, and I walked inside to get my books. I checked my list. I asked the clerk for, 'The standard book of spells, grade three', 'A history of Magic',' Magical theory', A beginners guide to Transfiguration, One thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi, Magical Drafts and potions, Fantastic Beasts and where to find them, and The dark forces:A guide to self protection, I do not want to go over how much it all cost, but it was a lot.

naturally, the first shop I strode into was Dreary Daze: Potions and Ingredients for Dark Meddling. This shop is in Knockturn Alley; it's always the first place I go into when I go to town. At Dreary Daze, I bought *Dragon's Claws *Dragon's Teeth *8 Doxi skulls (they make for excellent candle holders) *Black Nightshade *Powdered Mummy heart and brains
naturally, I always by all my supplies as soon as each school year ends. I always buy extra supplies, though, and each year I get a new pet. Last year, I bought a black owl with white spots; His name is Atsiush (which means "shadow" in Elvish). This year, I bought a 9-inch bat; I have named Her Ryo (which means "wings"). I have had a Red Tailed Boa Constrictor since I was 3 years old, but of course I'm not allowed to bring a serpent to Hogwarts; the first two schools I attended, I was allowed to bring my snake.
I also bought an extra cauldron (pure gold) and 10 crystal phials. Even though this is my first year at Hogwarts, I have already been through 3 other years of school. But I'm not allowed to tell the lot of you where I went; the Death Eathers swore me to secrecy LONG ago.
Later.

Hey, I have a question... (to whoever reads this and can respond) How are you able to get those 'avatar' things... It was listed when I registered, but the account says that I can't use one...

Well, I'm off to buy all my necessary supplies for this year... I've gotten everything I need, and on top of that, not only did I get a gorgeous owl named Thimble, I've managed to buy a new Firebolt! Oh yeah! I'm not sure about the new models, because I'm not experienced yet, but I feel comfortable in my purchase.
