After tying back her long silver hair, Alcyone waved to her black cat on a pouf, rushed down the black spiral staircase, jumping the last few steps as she reached the first floor. She dashed towards the shelf in the kitchen, took the contents from a silver vase and tossed it into the fireplace of the living room. Emerald flames emerged from the hearth instantly, rising and swaying in the air. She walked into the warm tongues and yellled, "Diagon Alley!", and was swept away from site.
When Alcyone had made a complete stop, she stepped out of the fireplace of a dimly lit pub. Outside of it there was a sign hanging from the doorway entitled "The Leaky Cauldron", drifting to and fro as another customer came in.
She brushed away the soot from her skirt and stockings, and adjusted one of the straps of her boots. She looked up to see a woman with black hair and ocean blue eyes staring at her. She smiled weakly as the woman got up from her seat at the counter, looking rather annoyed.

 Why doesn't that surprise me. I told you to start sleeping earlier so we can be on time.

But I have been trying. It's just that I saw something really interesting in one of the transfiguration chapters on changing eye colors, and I guess I got so intrigued that-

Lauretta and Alcyone made there way thorugh Diagon Alley getting all of Alcyone's books and supplies for the semester. It would be her third year now at Hogwarts with four more years to go. Her last two years had been a lot of fun, though not exactly thrilling. She enjoyed her company with her best friend Lorelei Williams and a few of the Gryffindor students. She also had a few friends in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, and amazingly a sparse few in Slytherin. She was anticipating how this third year would go as she placed the last of her books The Monster Book Of Monsters. She was intrigued by Numerology, but she just loved animals and wild creatures. The two of them left Flourish and Blotts with loads in each hand and headed towards an ice cream parlor for a break before getting new robes from Madam Malkin's shop.
Lauretta bought a rasberry white chocolate sundae for herself while she got Alcyone a Caramel Almond White Tea yogurt (her usual order).

 Well you may be getting taller than me, but at least I can cook a simple meal and make a proper thirst quench potion.
