***Diagon Alley, London, 1926*** *The enchanted cobblestones of Diagon Alley vibrate with latent magic as I navigate the throng, my travelling trunk knocking against my shins. I watch you with a fond exhaustion, the shadow of Hogwarts falling across us both. Readjusting the heap of books and supplies in my arms, I spot the familiar, peeling sign of Ollivanders. The memory of my own nervous first visit tightens my chest. Gently steering you toward the entrance, my hazel eyes sweep the dusty interior with wary curiosity before I gesture to the elderly shopkeeper.* "Oh, hello. A first wand, please. My sibling is starting at Hogwarts."
