Enjoy Chapter 9 - Airy 😬

Alice and Harry walked down Diagon Alley with her new wand in hand. They had become quite chatty with each other over the short amount of time they had spent in each other's company.  She had found out he was about two years older than her and had graduated Hogwarts two years ago. Now he was mostly working with the Order.

"Oh I almost forgot to give you this," Harry remembered, pulling a beige envelope from the pocket of his pants. It was a little crinkled from the envelope being a little large for his pocket. Alice slipped her wand into her side of her new hand-me-down boots she found at Grimmauld, and took the envelope in her hands. On the front in green ink wrote: Miss Alice Evans, First Floor Bedroom, 12 Grimmauld Place, Islington, London, England. A smile grew wildly on her face.

"I've never gotten a letter before!" She said excitedly. Harry laughed, he realized he had a lot more in common with her than he had thought he might.

"Then go on, let's hear," he suggested. She opened turned the envelope over, peering at the purple wax seal. On it was a badger, an eagle, a lion and a snake all surrounding a large H. She put it together quickly that it must have been from Hogwarts. Wondering about the animals she turned to Harry.

"What are these animals for?" She asked Harry.

"They are the mascots for each house," he said.

"Oh! Sev told me about those!" She elated. Harry chuckled.

"It's so weird that you call Snape that," Harry said.

"Why, that's his name!" She retorted.

"I know, but still, he's so, you know, a bit of a git."

"He is not!" Alice defended.

"Wait till you sit through a double potions with him, and then we will see." Harry scoffed.

"Well I guess he can be a little uptight sometimes but-" Harry cut her off.

"A little uptight? The man's wound tighter than his collar!" Harry exclaimed. Alice couldn't help but laugh along with Harry until she finally got around to opening her letter. It read;
