So this is magic... (Braxton)

[jethro]

"So this is magic..." The young by known as Jethro Stevens, placed his first step out of this 'Leaky Cauldron' place, and into the busy street of Diagon Ally. His sea blue eyes widened as masses of people bustled from shop to shop carrying really particular things. His green and black stripped board short, were heavy with a small sack of gold that his Grandfather had given to him before he had dropped him outside the Leaky Cauldron. The small boy felt really weird in his muggle clothes, just a white singlet and a pair of shorts, everyone else was wearing robes. Taking a few steps onto the cobblestone path, he smiled seeing a few other students hurry past him and grin.

Being a muggle, Jet had never seen anything like this place before. There was shops that sold bitting books, toads eyes, brooms that look like the queen would use, and even sweets of crazy colours and product. Feeling life come back to him, Jethro shook out of his trance and took out a small piece of paper of what he needed for Hogwarts in his coming year. Scanning the small paper, she read 'wand' he immediately thought thats what he wanted first. Running his hands through his brown hair before making his way forward. Turning his head now and then to look at some place that might sell wands, he was absent the the other person in front of him. Smacking right into the other being, he was knocked back onto the busy street. Rolling onto his stomach, he looked up to who he had just hit.

Braxton had left the sweet shop moments before. Still having an hour to spare he made his way down the street wondering what he wanted to do next. He was having a blast so far and decided that the next thing he wanted to do was find a nice place to get a drink considering his mouth felt dry.

Braxton felt something hit him from behind. Swaying on the spot he tried to regain his balance and only managing it after one hand grazed the ground. Turning to see what had collided with him he was startled to see a boy his age laying in the middle of the street. Walking over to where the kid lay he extended his hand and offered to help him up. Once he was on his feet again he looked at him for a moment before saying, “You alright there?” and then adding as an after thought, “My names Braxton by the way.”

[jethro]

Trying to dodge the busy feet of people, Jet was son lifted back up by a boy his age. "Oh Thanks. And yeah I'm fine, are you? Sorry for the knocking over and all.." he grinned and extended his hand before saying "Nice to meet you Braxton. I'm Jethro, or Jet for short." she shook the boys hand before bending down and picking up his bit of paper with the list of his needs. "So are you a new student too?" Jethro was not one to be shy when meeting new people.

With a hint of adventure running through his blood, the muggle boy took a glance around and saw an ice cream pallor. Man was he hungry. Taking another quick look around, he saw a shop that had many boxed in its from window. He assumed straight away that was the wand shop around here, and now that he knew where it was, Jet was free to do what he liked for a while or so, there was no hurry.

“Yep,” Braxton said with a smile, “I’m here to get the supplies I need for the up coming year. My parents just had to go and do something at the bank so I am off exploring on my own for a few minutes until they get back and then we are going to go and find all of the school supplies that I need. How about you?” If Jet didn’t have anything going for awhile they could go and explore the rest of the alley together and who knows who else they might run into why they were there.

He was glad to meet so many upcoming first years, first the two in the candy store and now Jethro here. At least he would know a couple of people once they got to hogwarts, only if he had only met them once.

[Maddyson Cross]

Just stepping out of 'Magical Menagerie' with a small, white fluffy kitten in her hands, Maddyson Cross smiled as the warm sunlight hit her face. The dear girls mother, was currently in Flourish and Blotts buying all of Maddy's school books, such as:

The Standard Book Of Spells (Grade 1) By Miranda Goshawk
A History Of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot
Magical Theory by Adalbert Waffling
A Beginner's Guide To Transfiguration by Emeric Switch
One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi by Phyllida Spore
Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander
The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-protection by Quentin Trimble

Though, its not everyday that you see two 11-year-old boys smash into one-another, so Maddy couldn't help but have an outburst of laughter at the site of them. She had laughed so loudly her cat jumped out of her arms onto an elderly lady. Maddy sniggered as she said sorry to the lady. Grabbing back her kitten with no delay, she walked up toward the two boys with a grin on her face. "That looked like it hurt," she had the pause to hold back giggles "Are you two both okay?" she said with her kitty now safe back in her arms.

[jethro]

"Thats pretty good, my Grad father dropped me off that 'Leaky' place or something," Jet nudged his head back toward to building her had just come out of. "But other wise I'm here on my own to explore and what not. This place just looks so amazing, there isn't a theme pack in the muggle world that would top this." he said with a grin at Braxton. All this was said and done before a girl about both the boys' ages, could be heard laughing. Taking a look to where it was coming from, Jet smirked slightly as her cat bound away and on top of a old witch, well thats what he thought she was.

Shaking his head slightly, looking at Braxton he replied to the girl with "Yeah I'm fine thanks, what about your cat? It seemed to be scared at your outburst at us." with adding a small wink to the girl. At least he was meeting new people and not keeping to himself, but hey what would be Jet if he wasn't really... out there? Extending his arm once again, the boy then said to the girl, "Hi I'm Jet." with a grin in place.

After hearing Jet, Braxton laughed slightly at the sight of the cat flying at the older women, he couldn't help it after all. "Ya I am ok," Brax said with a smile over in her direction. "We were just saying how we were getting our things for the upcoming school year." He noticed that she was about the same age as them and then added, "So, how about you? Are you here getting supplies also?"

[Maddyson Cross]

"Yeah, but I haven't been very successful." Maddy said to them as she shook Jets outstreched hand. "I'm Maddyson by the way" she added. "I only have my books and robes."

Maddy Looked around and after a very uncomfortable silence maddy asked "Would you like to come and get an ice-cream with me?!?"

[spicer]

“That’s still good,” Braxton said with a smile over at the girl and then waited for Jet to say something. He didn’t know quite what to say after that considering he hadn’t really gotten any of his supplies yet unless you counted candy, then he was set. Then hearing her say something about ice-cream he said with a smile, “Sure, Maddyson. Ice-cream always sounds good to me. What about you Jet are you up for ice-cream?”

[jethro]

"Nice to meet you Maddyson." Jet said with a smile as he drew back his hand. "Well, it is very tempting, but i only have a few hours here and i hafta go collect my school supplies before me Grand Dad comes to pick me up." she said in a doubtful voice. He really would have liked to go get one, but since Jet only had a certain amount of money, and time, he would have to wait until he had everything to relax.

"I suppose I'll see you later on Brax, well at school if not." he said smiling and turning to Maddyson. "It was great meeting you, and I'm sorry i hafta cut it short." Jethro nodded and looked around once again. "See ya Guys." he said with a wave of his hand before heading into 'Flourish and Blotts.' Well, Jet was pleased. he had already met two other students, both of which he thought he would remain friends with. Now... too look for his supplies.
