Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Diagon Alley
"I guess this trip will have to wait. To Diagon alley..." Syrme murmured.
"But first..." And the sound of apparition was heard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Guys, my letter just came." Syrme announced to the group.
Alex was one year ahead, but he decided to go to Durmstrang, so this will be his second year in the school. Evelyn went to Beauxbatons at the same time as Alex. Mike has been in Durmstrang for one year more than Alex.
"Mine too, Syrme!" Sebas exclaimed, holding his letter in the air. He wanted to go with Syrme since he was a little younger than him for a few months.
"Do you remember what did I tell you about where we are going?" Syrme asked seriously.
"Yes, I...I still want to go with you. I have good walls of Occlumency, and I know what to do just in case something happens." Sebas said with determination. Syrme looked at him for a few moments and nodded.
"Very well, let's go." Syrme said, holding his hand for him to take it.
"Hey!" Alex interrupted before they could go.
"What?" Syrme asked, confused.
"Happy birthday, idiot!" Alex laughed.
"Thanks." He thanked him with a small smile.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Remember, in Britain; they have the mentality of types of blood. Purebloods, Half-bloods, and muggle-borns. I fit in the category of half-blood and you in the muggle-born one. In Slytherin we probably will be excluded and mocked, so I suggest we enter into the house of knowledge or the house of hard-work." Syrme explained to Sebastian. They were about to reach the Leaky Cauldron.
'So Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, eh...' Sebastian thought.
"Do you think they will find out about my condition?" Sebastian asked.
"Most likely, but it is going to be a long while for them to find out. The IDs are perfect for cases like this. You could go on a rampage inside them, but in reality, nothing will be out of place." Syrme said. They reached the place in question. Tom, was cleaning the tables humming a song when he heard steps and turned around.
"What can I do for you, little fellas?" Tom, the innkeeper, asked the two boys.
"Can you take us to the entrance of the Diagon Alley?" Syrme asked, looking around the place. The pub of the site had a medieval touch.
"Yes! Yes, of course! Muggle-born, aren't you? Right, this way." Tom deduced. Both of them thanked him and followed him to the back.
"This is Diagon Alley?" Sebas asked incredulously after entering the secret location.
"Yes, it's a little old-fashioned, but at least it has good vibes, and it is very lively." Syrme reasoned.
"Let's see first we need..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The duo came out from the books store, Syrme took the books and put them in the inventory.
"The books from this year looked easy." Sebas complained with a pout.
"That's what you get for making me teach you things, the rest is just too 'easy'" Syrme laughed at him. Sebas sighed while looking at the letter.

"We have books, the uniform, the cauldron, the telescope..." Sebas read out loud, crossing out the things they had.
"The letter also said to bring a wand, and if you want, you could bring a pet." Sebas said.
"I don't have a wand, but you already have one, don't you?" Sebas asked.
"Yes, but I plan to use a stick in Hogwarts. I already tried doing magic without a wand and for most of the spells it worked. Some spells are impossible without a wand, but for the majority of them there isn't a need of one." Syrme explained. Sebas, in the meantime, had a hard time trying to close his mouth from the surprise.
"How are you doing always this! For all of us is impossible to do magic without one! Meanwhile, you are doing magic like breathing!" Sebas exclaimed to Syrme.
"Keep your voice down." Syrme sent a small glare to Sebas, and he backed down a little.
"Sorry." Sebas apologised.
"To answer your question, you need to come to an answer yourself. But I could tell you some clues. And the clues are that if you want to do magic, with or without a wand, correctly you need two basic steps before trying to do the spell. The first thing you need to do is understand what the spell does exactly. The second thing you need to do is search for the feeling you got when you do 'accidental magic' and ask the feeling with all your intent to do what you want with the spell. For example." Syrme lifted his hand and closed his eyes.
When Syrme opened his eyes, there was something in them, like they wanted to burn whoever is in his view. His hand was humming with power. All around him exclaimed danger.
"I want flames." Syrme said with finality. His eyes, unmoving.
In his open palm, there was a flame that danced without restrictions. Like it was alive.
Magic.
He closed his hand, and the flame disappeared.
"When you want to do magic, and if you need anything. You need to tell your magic that you 'want it'. 'Alohomora', I want to open this. 'Episkey', I want to heal. 'Avada Kedavra', I want to kill. 'Homenum revelio' I want to know if someone is close or hidden." Syrme finished looking at Sebas.
He was looking at him with eyes like plates, jaws on the ground and silent.
Syrme let out a snort, that soon changed into a laugh.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr.Potter, I was waiting for you. It seems like yesterday when-" Mr Ollivanders started, but Syrme interrupted him.
"Look, sir. We are kind of in a hurry, and my friend here needs a wand. I don't want to be disrespectful but..." Syrme trailed. The older man blinked surprised, then let out a strained chuckle.
"Yes, of course. What is the name of your friend?" Ollivanders said, looking at Sebas.
"Sebastian, sir." Sebastian responded.
"Very well, what is your good hand, Mr.Sebastian?" Ollivanders asked.
"I'm left-handed, sir." Sebas said, lifting his left hand. Ollivanders started searching a want for Sebastian.
"Let's see... try this one." Ollivander handed the wand to Sebastian. Sebastian held the wand waiting.
"Come on, try to wave it or something." Ollivander said with a smile. Sebastian let out a surprised sound and started shaking it. The vase of flowers from the corner of the room burst into pieces.
"Apparently not..." Ollivanders said frowning.
They tried several ones until...
"Cedar wood with a dragon heartstring core, 9 ½" and quite bendy flexibility. Whenever I meet one who carries a cedar wand, I find the strength of character and unusual loyalty. As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most colorful spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. Wand flexibility or rigidity denotes the degree of adaptability and willingness to change possessed by the wand-and-owner pair." Ollivanders explained happily.
"Splendid wand, indeed!" Ollivanders exclaimed.
"Thank you, sir." Sebastian said, smiling.
"Would you like to try the ones Sebastian tried, Mr Potter?" Ollivanders asked Syrme.
"No, sir. I already have a wand, but thank you anyway." Syrme responded to Ollivanders.
"You... you already have a wand?" Ollivanders blinked.
"Yes, thank you for everything, let's go Sebas." Syrme said, turning around.
"How- Who made your wand, Mr Potter?" Ollivanders asked before he could exit. Syrme paused a moment and looked at Mr Ollivanders.
"I think I'm gonna keep that for myself if you don't mind."
