Shopping Time!  Solo   Finished 
Jarael woke up early in the morning excited for the day. She was going to Diagon Alley to get her school supplies for Hogwarts. She let out a short squeak emphasizing the excitement she felt. She took a shower and ate breakfast with her family. Her brothers and sisters gave her a little annoyance teasing her but she took it all in stride. She knew they were kidding and probably jealous of her because she was going to be leaving them soon when she heads to Hogwarts. Her parents Kato and Talia Morningstar had gotten tickets in advance for the Knight bus to haul their ten children to Diagon Alley. It was set to be a fun family day. Once the Knight bus arrived at their gated mansion at Ottery St Catchpole, The whole family took their seats. The smallest sat by Talia and Kato because the seats moved around due to the speed of the Knight bus. Talia would do a charm for all the youngest ones to not fall off the seats. The bus was off going so fast but Jarael didn’t mind she was looking out the window the best she could wondering when they would arrive in London at the Leaky Cauldron.

Once they arrived Jarael watched as her mother undid the spell on the seats for the younger children. Jarael walked into the Leaky Cauldron not really waiting for her parent’s. She was later scolded because her father told them they have to stick together. Jarael frowned because she didn’t want to have to wait for her family. She wanted to go off and shop alone.“Aw c'mon pop let me go on my own. It’s not like I will get lost. We can schedule to meet up somewhere. I’ll be alright really.” she pleaded with him. Her father glanced at her mother who finally gave a nod. He turned to Jarael. “Alright, here are some galleons to pay for your school supplies. We will meet up at Florean’s later." Jarael nodded excitedly “Thanks Pops!” she said then watched her father open the brick wall that led to Diagon Alley from the Leaky Cauldron.

Jarael walked down the path that showed all the shops that Diagon Alley had to offer. She had been here before but never really for just herself. She walked into Madam Malkin’s shop to get her robes fitted. Madam Malkin was just finishing up with a small girl with red hair. Jarael stared at the girl for a long time. The girl blinked as if she was nervous or maybe she just felt annoyed that Jarael was staring at her. Once the girl was done she walked away real fast to get out of the room. Jarael didn’t care if she made the girl feel uneasy. This was just a habit of hers. She heard the voice of Madam Malkin to tell her to come so she can size her up. The robes were nice. Nothing to fancy. She did some small talk with Madam Malkin as the shop owner and seamstress did her measurements and adjustments until she was finally finished.

“There you go deary. You are all set.” she said. Jarael almost didn’t hear her because she was looking out the window as passersby. “Oh ok thank you.” She paid the lady and got her robes in a package before setting off for the next shop. Where should she go next? She thought to herself.

Embracing the weird and strange is to not be bored again
