Her mother had told her of this place, the hustle and bustle of diagon alley and about how she would take her there one day. But she had passed away and Trixi had moved in with her new family, only half of which was magical. But she didn't want to spend the time here with them. Well not with all of them.
Her and her older brother Brett wandered down the streets of diagon, they had picked up most of her eqiopment now and all that was left was her robes. "How bout I go off and get a drink and you can stay and explore for a while?" he said with a smile to his little sister. "Just don't tell your mother I let you"
Trixi gave her big bro a smile as she said "Okay" and bounded off down the street in the opposite direction to what her brother was going. This place was huge. It was soo different to anything she had ever seen. She had a small coin pouch dangeling off the side of her shorts, making a little clinging sound as she moved.

Ryan had just gotten the go ahead from his mum and dad that he could stay, at least, one night in Diagon Alley. It really hadn’t been that hard to convince them after all. It seemed that his mother had agreed right away. The reason, that she wanted to get at his dad, didn’t really bother him. After all he got what he want and he didn’t really care about the motives behind it.
Entering back into Diagon Alley he glanced around at the store fronts again thinking that there was still so many places that he needed to visit and see. It was all completely new to him so it wasn’t surprising that he had spent almost an hour in a couple of the stores, just looking around and taking in everything there was to buy in the wizarding world. Having just recently acquired a couple of the text books that he would need for school, he ripped off one of the book’s wrappings and was reading a bit of it as he walked down the main street in the alley. His father had let him go out on his own for a bit, while he went for a muggle drink in a pub near by.

Trixi's eyes were as sharp as anything and she spotted the boy before he had even gotten close to her. He looked around the same age as her, yeah she could beat him in a fight, he looked pretty scrawny. She had noted too that he was reading a book as he walked, now that seemed like a silly thing to do in such a crowded street. Trixi kept walking towards him, she waiting until he was almost right next to him, and stuck her foot out in quite a good attempt at tripping him over. It was at this exact same moment that she threw herself to the ground, landing face first into the dirt (or so it seemed). But as the boy had been reading he wouldn't have realised she had knocked herself over.
As she fell she knocked her small coin pouch off her shorts, making it so it came undone and her silver sickles and bronze knuts went rolling accross the ground. It was at this moment thatshe then rolled over, to see if the boy had fallen. Either way though it looked as though he had knocked her down. Trixi put on a fake frown.

Ryan hadn’t seen the trip coming. He was to busy looking at one of the diagrams in the book to pay much attention to anything around him, well except what was directly in front of him. Flying face first to the ground his book went flying ahead of him and landed roughly on the ground. Muttering he pushed himself to his knees and looked around. He didn’t know what or who had tripped him. The only thing that he did know was that his book was going to have one hell of a scratch mark on it.
As he looked around he noticed a girl laying in the dirt not to far away from him. Could it have been her that he had tripped into? Standing up he went and retrieved his book and then went over to see if he could help her up. Offering her a hand he said, “ Are you ok?”

Perfect. He had fallen. That had been exactly what Trixi had been aiming for. Oh it was funny. But Trixi managed to keep a sad expression on her face, if she cracked up laughing now the boy probably wouldn't be very impressed. "You.. you knocked me over.." Trixi said in a fake sad voice. She accepted the boys hand up. "I.. think I'm okay" Trixi said to the boy.
"Oh no!" Trixi said as though she had only just realised her coin purse had come loose. "My money!" the silver sickles and bronze knuts were just comiong to the end of their rolling and falling on their sides in the dirt. Trii bent down and picked up the coin purce off the ground and began to retrieve the coins from off of the ground.

“I didn’t mean to.” Ryan said in an apologetic voice. He had just been reading his book and trying to pay attention to what was in front of him. Not really thinking that he would bump into anyone on the side of him, but he would remember next time to just stop and read the book or just read the book later on. As for the condition of the book there was indeed a large scape on it. Looking it over he just groaned and wondered how his dad would react when he saw it. His dad probably wouldn’t be that impressed with him because he liked Ryan to take care of his things and not just take them for granite. Though if I tell him what happened he should be alright with it. Ryan thought thinking that there, surely, had to be away to get the scratches off. A spell or something should do the trick. To bad he didn’t know any.
Coming back to the situation at hand in time to hear Trixie exclaim ‘Oh no’ Ryan wondered what was the problem now. She had just said she was alright. He didn’t have to wait long though since in the next breath she said something about money. Glancing about he knew what had upset her. All of her money was everywhere. Deciding that he had better give her a hand he started to gather the coins.

Trixi hid a smirk as the boy began helping her pick up all the coins that were scattered on the ground. Oh it was funny what polite people would do. It was also extremely funny to have someone appologise when you knocked them over. Of course you couldn't show how funny it is because then they wouldn't trust you. "My names Trixi" she said while gathering up the coins. She had learnt long ago using her real name was usually the best bet with kids because she could run into them later on, and that could be disasterous. "Who're you?"

Trying to make sure that he had got every last coin that had spilled out of Trixi’s bag he checked under the crevasses that littered the street. After he was confident that he had gathered as many as he was going to find he walked back over to her and handed her the coins. “Nice to meet you Trixi. I’m Ryan.” he said in response to her question. He would have introduced himself without the question but she didn’t really give him the chance to respond before asking him who he was. “So are you here by yourself?” Ryan asked hoping that he wasn’t being to nosey. He was just trying to make conversation.

Trixi grinned. This kid seemed to be a pushover. He seemed nice, very nice and niceness was in truth, a weakness. It stopped people from realising the real personality of someone. Atleast thats what Trixi thought. Anyway, a simple apology to someone like this normally got you out of any form of trouble you may, or may not have gotten yourself into. A slight sence of success swept through Trixi as the boy gave his name and said it was nice to meet her. That was generally a sign that they trusted you, at least a little.
His question made her need to tihnk quickly. Was she alone? She had a few different stories she usually used for this kind of thing. But this was the magical world and although Trixi didn't know very much about it she kenw it mustnt be very big. This kid was her age and it was awefully likely that he might end up going to school with her. But did she really want to tell him the truth? Should she state her brother was there, with her and her adopted parents. Trixi decided to tkae the easy way out, as usual. "Nar." she answered casually, letting the boy assume who she was with. "What about you?" Trixi wondered what kind of trouble she could get up to while she was on her own.

"I'm here with my dad," Ryan said with a smile. He had talked his dad into coming with him so that he could spend more time with him, and now they would be spending even more days here then planned thanks to his mom agreeing to it. "He just went for a drink in one of the pubs outside of here for awhile and I chose to look around a bit more since it is my first time visiting Diagon Alley." he added.
"So are you here getting stuff for hogwarts?" he asked wondering if she was going to be going to the school just like he was.

Ah so he was with his dad. It made Trix curious as to wether he had a mother. She was used to broken familys, being in avery broken one herself. Although it wasn't at all relevant it would be interesting to know. Trixi gave the boy a smile. Ah so he was going to Hogwarts too. "Yeah Hogwarts" she said to him her eyes glancing around stll looking for trouble waiting to happen. "I'm getting my stuff and looking around" Trixi decided against telling him that it was her first time, perhaps she could lead him to somewhere other than here and then loose him... Now there was an idea..

"Same here. I am picking up all of my stuff also." Ryan said with a smile. "It's cool isn't it? This place I mean" he continued. It had been his first time to the alley and it looked nothing like what he pictured it looking like. He was a muggle born and as muggle as you could get. He found the clothes that the people were wearing in the alley even interesting. He had never been in a atmosphere like that before.

"Lets go explore" Trixi said with a grin. She had walked past a dark alleyway leading out of the area earlier in the day. Her adopted mother had told her to never go there. But since when did Trixi listen to her? "Come this way" Trixi said grinning and heading off in one directoin, her coin purse now tied back onto her pants. Trixi headed off towards the dark aleyway she had seen earlier that day, wondering if the boy would follow her.

"That sounds like fun to me," Ryan said with a smile at the mention of going and exploring. He was always up for looking around, he was just doing that anyways. It wouldn't hurt to go looking around with someone else. When she went into the dark alley however he wasn't too sure that he wanted to follow. He was suppose to meet his dad in Diagon Alley and he was pretty sure that he wouldn't be able to find him down there. "I am not so sure about that," he said his face becoming serious. "I think we should just stay on the main road here."

"What are you, a chicken?" Trixi asked the boy with a slight smirk on her face. If there was one thing Trixi knew about boys it was that they didn't like being called chickens or wimps. This meant they would usually do anything to keep their pride. Although there were a few exceptions. "Scared of the dark or something?" Trixi grinned. She wondered if the boy would come. "Its not like a road can really hurt us" Trixi gave the boy a sweet kind of smile. Would he follow? She hoped he would, this would be the best place to have a look around. Maybe she would find something cool there.
