"Welcome, boys, to Diagon Alley"
I looked in awe at the crowded street in front of me, looking at the building which seemed a bit wonky, along with the people who were wearing witches hats and robes of different houses.
"Little boy, what's your name? I'm Hagrid" Hagrid looked at Lumen
"Hi Hagrid, I'm Lumen." Lumen looked at Hagrid and smiled while saying his name.
"Since you have no one to guide you around, I'll guide you as I'm doing with young Harry here."
Lumen looked at Harry in the eyes making the shy boy feel awkward and thought back to his past life where he watched this boy go from being this shy boy into defeating Voldy later, realizing Harry felt awkward, Lumen introduced himself to break the tension.
"Hi Harry, was it? I'm Lumen, Just Lumen." Lumen who had no last name, who was dropped at the orphanage with just his first name.
"Hi Lumen, I'm Harry, Harry Potter" When Harry said this, some people around him made audible shocked noises and started mumbling to themselves.
After the introductions Hagrid, took both the boys through the street introducing them to Gringotts where they'll be able to get money or galleons as it was called.
As the three walked into Gringotts, Lumen looked at the Goblins with utter disgust as they were the ugliest things he had seen since he arrived in this world.
"They're so much more hideous than the movies showed" Lumen mumbled to himself silently.
As Harry and Hagrid, went with a goblin to make a withdrawal from his lavish vault filled with galleons. Lumen decided to exchange all the money he had saved. Lumen ended up getting 100 galleons even and some change.
Deciding to not wait for Harry and Hagrid, Lumen excitedly walked towards Ollivander's to receive his wand. As he walked in the Old man looked at him and smiled warmly.
"Hello, young one what can I do for you today?"
"I'm here to receive my wand!" Lumen smiled calmly and politely.
"Your first wand is it? Well let me take a look at you. What's your name?" Ollivander looked at the young boy seeing a radiant aura emanating from the boy along with bright emerald green eyes which looked as if he could see into a person's very soul.
"Lumen."
"Hmm, I think I have just the wand for you. Lumen" Ollivander quickly went on his ladder slid and got out a wand from a top shelf.
Ollivander handed the wand to the young boy, the wand shaped like Draco Malfoy's only its pure white with engraving like Snapes at the hilt of it.
"Aspen Wood, 13 inches, Inflexible, Unicorn Core"
As soon as Lumen held the wand, his jet black hair lifted, and pure white light zapped from the tip of the wand.
Lumen thanked Ollivander and went to buy the rest of what he needed, a school chest, Potion making ingredients which would be delivered to Hogwarts, Robes, Gloves, and all the other things.
On the way back to the street Lumen bumped into Harry and Hagrid again, Lumen conversed with them. Hagrid handed Lumen and extra train ticket and instructions on where to go and how to board the Hogwarts Express.
Lumen left Diagon Alley and decided to stay at a motel with the money he got from the Headmistress. As Lumen entered his room, he sat on the bed and exclaimed.
"Holy Shit! I have a wand, I met Harry Potter, I'm actually a wizard. I'm so sorry for doubting you old man!!" Lumen looked at the roof all of it hitting him at once, even though he had some magic before. He had doubts believing that he was in Harry Potter.
Lumen looked at the wand on the bed, and lifted his hand lifting the wand with it.
"Maybe I'll be able to perform spells without a wand after I learn them?"
Lumen sat on his bed twirling the wand in the air for hours excited at the prospect of going to Hogwarts.
The Next Day
Lumen was standing in front of platform Nine and Three Quarters faced with a dilemma.
"I know I have to run into it, but its a bit nerve wracking"
Lumen decided to pump himself up, running full speed at the wall hoping he wouldn't crash and embarrass himself. Contrary to his fears, Lumen passed through the wall, arriving on the other side to see a beautiful steam train.
"Thank God"
Lumen decided to get on the steam train, and find a carriage with no one occupying it, sitting down after placing his things, he started reading a book. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Excuse me, do you mi- Lumen!" Harry looked at who was occupying the carriage.
"Harry, Hi. Come sit"
Lumen went back to reading the book, with Harry sitting in front of him.
"Can you believe, we're going to a school where they teach magic?! Real Magic!"
Lumen looked up and smiled "I can't believe it either"
Both Harry and Lumen smiled at each other feeling elated
"Lets be friends Lumen" Harry shyly put his hand out possibly making his first friend.
Lumen looked at the boy who seemed nervous to even ask such a thing and said "Harry i thought we were already friends"
Upon hearing this, Harry showed a bright smile. Happy with the fact that he made a friend so easily and his first one at that.
There was a knock on the door, both Harry and Lumen turned to see a boy with fiery red hair.
"Excuse me, do you mind? everywhere else is full."
Lumen looked at the boy and hid his feelings of disdain. In his past life when he watched Harry Potter, he didn't like Ron. He felt as if he was too annoying and insecure. Regardless Lumen didn't say anything, letting Harry respond.
"Not at all" Harry said being as polite as he is.
Ron sat down next to Harry and looked at him and said.
"I'm Ron, Ron Weasley"
I'm Harry, Harry Potter."
Ron looked at Harry shocked, and said
"Is it true, do you really have the scar."
Harry looked at Ron with a more grim look reminding him if his scar.
Lumen finally raised his head and said
"Asking a boy who you know got the scar from the person who killed his parents, has to be the most thoughtless thing I've ever witnessed"
Ron looked at Lumen and his face went as red as his hair, feeling very embarrassed.
"Who are you and why do you care!" Ron basically shouted.
"Instead of asking me who I am, shouldn't you be apologizing to Harry. You really are more thoughtless and inconsiderate than I thought."
Ron once again instead of apologizing acted like a toddler and threatened to release magic at Lumen.
"I'd like to see you try" Lumen smirked
As Ron pulled out his wand and do "magic" a girl with bushy brown hair said.
"Are you doing magic? Let see"
Ron waved his wand and uttered some nonsense, nothing came out of his wand which made his even more embarrassed especially in the presence of a new person.
"Wow, that was even more disappointing than I thought" Lumen looked at Ron with a sarcastic gaze.
Hermione sat down next to Lumen and introduced herself.
"I'm Hermione, Hermione Granger."
Everyone except Ron who looked angry and embarrassed at the same time introduced themselves.
For the rest of the journey the three of them talked excluding Ron who just sat there with a fuming look for the whole journey, which only got more ignited as Lumen would sarcastically smile at his anger.
They arrived at Hogwarts at night, as the three of them got off the train they looked at the magical castle over the water, illuminated by the moonlight. Making it seem even more ethereal than in the movies.
"Finally, I'm here!"
