Trixie Prior strode confidently through the crowded pub. She had been to the Leaky Cauldron many times before. Her mother liked to bring her here if she completed all her lessons for the week. Of course, Trixie had only been to Diagon Alley once before: when her mother had taken her to pick up a wand.

Pushing through a particularly thick crowd of people, Trixie stopped. There seemed to be something going on... Nope. Just some old guy telling a (probably made-up) tale of some long and treacherous adventure through some (probably nonexistent) land. She passed quickly.

Finally making it to the courtyard, Trixie slumped against one of the brick walls. She sat down and pulled out a large book from her bag. Trixie Prior's Guide to Slytherin Schemes, it read. She pulled a quill and ink out and started writing. Suddenly, she heard a noise. She looked up. Luckily, it was only an old witch trying to get through to Diagon Alley.

Trixie started to write again. Then she took out her new wand, bought just a week earlier, and began to dry the ink. Once the page was dry, she flipped it over and began to write again.
