Anxiously jangling the different-sized coins in her cloth bag, Rebecca strolled through the brick arch that led into Diagon Alley, supposedly the best place to shop for your magical goods. From the looks of it, they weren't wrong either - everywhere she looked there were witches and wizards carrying wicker baskets laden down with things, chatting in the street and children pressing their noses against the dusty windows eagerly.
As she passed by a strangely dark pathway leading off of the main street, she met the eyes of a tall wizard dressed in shabby black robes. He grinned crookedly, his reddened eyes glistening, and she lowered her eyes to the ground, only just looking up to see the sign next to the man read 'Knockturn Alley'.
Hurrying past, and still feeling the wizards' eyes on her back, she ducked into the first shop she came into, her heart beating fast. She hadn't known there were going to be people like that here... perhaps she should have asked one of her new acquaintances to accompany her?
Don't be such a baby, she told herself forcefully, before actually noticing the shop she was stood in. It was a bookshop, with mountains of books everywhere, and tall bookcases that skimmed the ceiling, with iron ladders that looked rather rickety to Rebecca reaching up to the tallest tier of bookshelves. It reminded her of the Library at school - small tables in corners and a comfortable, relaxing feeling all around.
Spotting a book called How To Make Yourself Magically Beautiful In Ten Easy Steps, she gave a sideways glance at the book clerk, who wasn't looking her way. Picking it up, she rifled through the pages, wondering if it would really work.

"You don't need that, Miss." came a deep voice from behind the girl. His long silvery hair was quite messily tied up in a ponytail and his red eyes seemed to smiled at her. He wore a black cloak over a red shirt and black cargos. "Your beautiful enough as it is."

Rebecca whirled around at the sound of someone's footsteps behind her, quickly putting the book wonkily back on the shelf as it was before.
Hearing the strangers' comment, a pink tinge appeared in her round cheeks, and she was torn between explaining that underneath her robes she was rather overweight, and thanking him for flattering her - something that had never happened before in all her life.
She noticed that he had red eyes, and she was reminded of the scary man she had met just outside, and shivered slightly. Still, she raised her wide, murky green eyes to the stranger. "Th-thankyou," she managed to stutter, feeling quite flushed. "I... I was just... just looking."
There was a tense silence. Rebecca glanced sideways, wondering what he was waiting for. In her embarrassment she had completely forgotten that it was customary during these meetings to introduce yourself. "Oh!" she exclaimed, realising. Blushing a faint red now, she held out her hand. "I'm Rebecca, by the way. I'm... kind of new around here."

Mary was ruffling threw the pages of Magic Horizons, A History, she was really interested in it because she was new and wanted to learn more about the school.
Mary was just about to turn a page when she heard a girl' voice "I'm Rebecca, by the way. I'm... kind of new around here."
Mary turned around with a smile, she approached to the girl who said it "Excuse me?" she called, Mary was a little embarrassed, the girl was talking to a blond guy and she was intruding the conversation "I'm sorry to interrupt you but I heard you say that you're new around here...I'm new too maybe we could help each other?" she said with a shy smile…<br>

Rei Shook Rebecca's hand with a tight grip and smiled. "I'm Kadarei. Rei for short. But, unlike you two here, I am not new." he studied the new girl and could feel what she was thinking. "Don't worry, miss. Your not interrupting." Something was a little different about these two. He could feel it. Maybe his senses were decieving him, since his long leave. He shook it off.

Kadarei was a little taken-back from Mary's proposal. Something was defenatly different about this one. Maybe he was going slightly insane. He cringed and frowned as he glanced out the massive window, trying to spy whoever was screaming. It was earpeircing to listen to, to hear. He shook his head a little bit, sending his silvery-white hair over his shoulder and asked "Did you two hear that?" The looks on their faces told him the answer. "Never mind... Where did you want me to show you around?"

Mary grinned "well it's hard to tell if you don't know the place..." she said, she pulled her golden blond hair into a ponytail.
"Got any recommendation about cool places here?" she asked and then turned to Rebecca "By the way what is your house? I'm a Gryffindor!"
Suddenly she blushed "I'm sorry...I never actually told you my name..." Mary laughed a little "I'm Mary Turner!" she said and stretched out her hand....
