Chapitre 13: # Chapter 13: Confirming Attendance and Preparing for Diagon Alley
The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over Luna's room. The excitement from the previous day's revelations still lingered in the air, mingling with the anticipation of what was to come. Luna was up early, determined to tackle the next steps in her journey to Hogwarts.
Sitting at her desk, Luna carefully penned her reply to the Hogwarts letter. She wrote with a steady hand, her thoughts filled with both gratitude and eagerness:

Xeno entered the room just as Luna was finishing her review. He took a look at the shopping list and raised an eyebrow. "Gilderoy Lockhart? Really?" he mused, his tone tinged with skepticism. "Well, I suppose that's what the school recommends."
"I've heard of him," Luna said, a touch of curiosity in her voice. "He seems to be quite the character."
Xeno nodded, his expression thoughtful. "Just be cautious. Sometimes, the magical world has its share of… flamboyant personalities."
With the shopping list in hand, Xeno began making plans for their trip to Diagon Alley. He turned to Luna, a look of determination in his eyes. "We'll head to Diagon Alley tomorrow. I want to make sure we get everything you need, and we'll check out the books on the list. It'll be a full day, but we'll get it all sorted."
Luna's face lit up with excitement. "I can't wait! I've heard so much about Diagon Alley—seeing it in person will be incredible."
The rest of the day was filled with preparations for the upcoming shopping trip. Luna and Xeno discussed their plans, reviewing the list and making a checklist of items to purchase. They also took some time to go over the magical supplies Luna would need, ensuring they wouldn't forget anything crucial.
By evening, Luna was practically buzzing with excitement. The thought of exploring Diagon Alley and picking out her school supplies felt like stepping into a dream she had long awaited. As she lay in bed that night, her mind was a whirlwind of anticipation and wonder, imagining the bustling streets, the colorful shops, and the myriad of magical wonders that awaited her.
