Me and my mum were puzzled at the sight before us. I was always a fan of wacky architecture but this topped the bar on a whole other level!
There were wizards and witches everywhere, some dressed in brightly colored robes, others dressed in a weird take of a usually casual outfit.
The street was lined with many tightly packed stores, with colorful displays and spin of maniacal touch. I could see children of all ages laughing and their parents trying to keep hold on them.
My mum said to me, "I think we are supposed to go to the bank and exchange the money Y/N"
"Alright mum, I think the bank is up ahead."
I pointed towards the end of the busy street at a huge, linear building. It had large columns up its front and a gigantic sign made of marble saying 'gringotts bank.'
When we entered the bank I could barely believe my eyes. It was so huge, the large, lifted ceiling and narrow walls gave the sort of expression that everything was towering over you. I felt like an ant and it felt, in fact, a bit intimidating.
We went up to one of the booths to exchange our money into wizarding money. I looked up and gasped, there was no human operating the booth it was none other than, the infamous children book mythical character: a goblin.
Once we exchanged our money for wizarding money which are separated into 3 piles;Golden galleons the size of hubcaps, silver sickles and bronze knuts, we headed towards a shop which I believe to be for our school robes. Once I was fitted into some robes by a nice lady we went to the bookstore to get my school books for the year. The book store is usually my favorite place to go, but I never thought it could get any better. The atmosphere in the room was magical and lively, honestly I felt right at home. we bought most of our school supplies such as the books, quills, several rolls of parchment some ink, a cauldron and all that jazz.
My mum had left me to by my wand by myself though, so she can take some time alone to buy my birthday present.
I entered olivanders with a pile of books in my hands covering my view of the place. I was really short for my age so my height didn't help either.
I stepped in and was immediately pushed down the the floor by an unknown force pushing me back.
"Ow." I muttered rubbing my head.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" A voice said in front of me.
"It's fine I should have looked where I was going."
"No it's my fault, I ran into you," the voice explained, "here let me help you with that."
As I was picking up my books a hand reached out and picked most of them for me. It then reached out for my hand, " you don't want to stay on the floor forever you know."
I looked up at my mysterious helper, and my eyes met the most beautiful gaze I have ever seen.
His eyes were a deep brown with golden flecks in it. His gaze was so intense and warm it felt like a warm embrace. I feel like I've seen them before, like I've known these eyes forever, yet—

Fred's POV
I was staring at the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Her beautiful (Y/E/C) eyes complimented her skin tone and her hair fell perfectly, without her even trying.
Urgh— she is just so beautiful!! Come on Fred pull yourself together!
"You don't wanna stay on the floor forever you know." I said with a smile. Urgh— real smooth Fred, real smooth.
She looked at me and and laughed, "I kinda like it down here though."
Wow her laugh, it was so sweet. I would do anything to make sure that laugh never leaves.
this girl is going to be the death of me.
She smile and took my hand, as I helped her off the ground, I couldn't help but notice how cute she was. She was so cute and beautiful, not to mention polite, and had a good sense in humor too; she was just like a princess.
We were standing so close to each other, there was barely 3 inches distance between our faces.
I just stood there staring at her.
Come on Fred, say something. But words seemed to fail me, I couldn't even make a proper sentence!!
"I'm (Y/N), (Y/N) (Y/L/N)." She said smiling.
"F—Fred Weasley." I stuttered. What is wrong with me?
" nice to meet you Fred."
"You too."
"So um you're going to hogwarts too?"
"Yeah, it's going to be my first year."
"Oh cool," she said with a small smile, "mabye we'll be in the same house."
"Yea—"
(Y/N) POV
"Yea—"
"Hey Fred wait up!!" Another boy called, he and Fred looked the same, Maybe they were twins.
"Who's this?" He asked Fred looking at me.
"This is (Y/N), (Y/N) this is George, my twin." Fred explained.
"Nice to meet you George." I say with a smile. Sure George and Fred looked the same, but they weren't, at least to me they weren't.
"You too (Y/N)" George said to me.
"Come on Freddie, we should get going, mums probably looking for us." George said.
Fred nodded and said to me, "see you at hogwarts then?"
I smiled, "definitely."
I watched them as the two boys disappeared into the crowd. Those boys are going to be the death of me especially Fred
