Shopping Jitters
Willow had the moment where she couldn't contain her excitement. She thought not only she was spending time with her Father and Sister, she was getting school supplies. She was try to rush her Father and Sister along to get ready. Her mother had to raise her tone a little to have Willow settle down a little bit.
She wondered how they were going to get to Diagon Alley. Her Father talk how some wizards would apparite or travel in by floo powder. Her father told her to grip his hand firmly and don't let go. Willow did as she was told, and some strange reason she took a deep breath. Her Sister couldn't help but laugh, and her Father gave a curious look at Willow. Her Father apparited and they appeared outside the Leaky Cauldron. Willow let out a deep set of air and breathed normally.
"Why did you hold your breath in, Cricket?" She looked at her Sister. "Because Millie said I need to." Her Father gave Millie a slight disapproving look. "Relax, Dad, she really needs to have some sense of humor in her youth." After pressing the bricks to enter Diagon alley, her Sister walked off to the Apothecary Shop still with a slight chuckle. Her father gave a deep shook of his head.
"There is a reason, your Sister was a former Slytherin." He looked down at Willow and noticed she barely paid attention of what he said as she was struck by how Diagon Alley looked. Willow's excitement flowed through her like cleansing water into every pores of her skin. Her father pulled out her school list and pointed to Flourish and Blotts. "Alright you need the following books:"They started to walk towards Flourish and Botts, but Willow wanted to go into every shop and explore. Her father mentioned they have family coming over later on. She gave sigh and her Father told her another time. While they were shopping for books, Willow wondered of the four houses. "Father, what was your house?" He gave a smile at her as he pulled Hogwarts, A History off the shelf. "I was in Ravenclaw as was your Great Uncle."

Willow considered to ponder as her thoughts was brought to her Sister. "How come Millie was in Slytherin? He looked uncomfortable with the question. "I am not sure, Cricket." He stated in a sense of he was hiding something and changed the topic to talk of his time at Hogwarts a little. After the school supply was complete, they stopped else where and got some pumpkin juice. Once her Sister caught up with them, they headed home.
