"No, this should be fine," She held the pajamas nervously. The more she thought about this, the more nervous she became. She didn't realy know these people. She looked over at Zanna smiling at her and that put much of her worries at ease. Yes, she could trust them. She felt it. Then she realized she was staring and remembered the clothes she had across her arm.
"Should I change in here or the bathroom?"

Zanna, looked at Raven and smiled brightly, "Well Raven, didn't know you trusted me so much to dress in front of me." She said jokingly bursting in laugther, "Nah just cheesing you" She said still laughin, "Go to the bathroom, if you look in the medicine cabinet, there's an extre toothbrush there." SHe finished and pushed Raven out of her room, so she could change as well

Raven left Zanna's bedroom to go to the restroom. It took a couple of tries, then she remembered which was the right door. Wwhen she got there, she quickly took off the clothes she had on and replaced them with what Zanna had given her. Wow, she thought, a perfect fit. Maybe we do have something in common. Besides going to Hogwarts of coarse. Then she searched through the cabinets too find the extra toothbrush Zanna had offered her. Let's see. Bandaids, deodorant, oh, there it was, toothbrush. After she had brshed her teeth and rinsed her mouth, she leaned over the sink to splash a little water over her face.
Never had she slept over at someone's house before. Calm down, she told herself. Afterall, I'll be sharing a room at Hogwarts with a complete stranger. After she had dried her face, she returned to Zanna's bedroom.
"Okay, I'm back," Raven said as she reentered the room.

Zanna looked up from her bed, which she was already placed in, her lower body under her blanket. "Yo." She said, as she fluffed her pillow. "Aye I'm so excited about tomorrow" she said, and looked up at Raven, "Oh a perefect fit, cool, then you'll defintily fit in my clothes, feel free to chose something to wear" she said, poiting to her closet, "And if you need any undergarments, their over there" She added pointing to her bureau. She finished brushing her hair, and handed it to Raven. and hopped into bed.

Raven decided to wait until tomorrow to pick out her clothes for the next day. She was tired and it seemed that Zanna's wardrobe was endless. Oh, she wished she had so many clothes. But her grandmother thought to buy her only the necessities. She climbed into the bed set up in the corner by Zanna's father.
Raven flooded Zanna with questions as she lay half under the cover while brushing her medium red hair. Oh, how she hated her hair. It would never go straight. She had to tug the brush to get it through her hair.
"What will we do first tomorrow? And how will we get there. Are there roads that lead to this Diagon Alley? And how do exchange my mother?"

Zanna cuddled under her covers and closed her eyes, she answered Raven's questions, best she could. "WE'll be getting there by train, I've got no floo powder, so we can't travel by the floo system. First thing we do is get dressed and eat breakfast." She said with a giggle, "There is one road leading to Diagon Alley, a secret road." She said slyly, "And don't worry 'bout you're money, I'll take care of that for ye." She said yawing and turning over on her side

Raven, who had never heard of Floo powder, decided not to ask anymore questions. She did not want to seem stupid.
"Well, night, then," she said to Zanna. Raven rolled over on her right side and burrowed under the covers. She then fell into a dreamless sleep.

Zanna awoke the next day, and peered over at Raven's bed, she was still asleep, quietly, Zanna took out her clothes, which was a pleated blue skirt with a white tanktop and a blue short sleeved button up shirt that went over it. She tooka quick shower, and changed. She then brushed her brown hair, and it fell down into it's perfect straight form.
When she arrived in the kitchen, her father had already left, but had breakfast on the table. "Pancakes..." She said hungrily and dug into the, sipping her milk and chomping on her chocolate chip pancakes. Waiting for Raven to emerge.

Zanna was looking in a closet when she saw that Raven had arrived. "Ah there you are, you breakfast is getting cold." She said, as she attended back to her closet. She then turned back to Raven holding two robes, "Hey, hey Raven, do you think that a light-blue robe would go good, or is it too much light colors. Or how about this dark blue one? Ravenclaw colors, plus its not too light." She said holding up the two, "Also so you got a robe, or do you wanna borrow one." She added

Raven sat down at the table to eat her pancakes. She really had no idea which would look better. She didn't know much about fashion or clothes.
"I like the dark blue," Raven answered without much authority, "and, yes, I do need to bother one until I've bought my own." Raven felt a bit guilty about everything she had been taking from Zanna. She had given her nothing in return.
"When will I be getting my own robe, by the way?" Raven took another bite of pancake.

Zanna smiled in a satisfied way and pulled on the dark blue robe. She took out a dark black robe for Raven, since she was wearing orange. She hung it on Raven's chair and began placing dishes in the sink.
"Well duh, we get your stuff when we get there, and we get there when you finsih you pancakes." Zanna said with a giggle

With this answer Raven hurried through the last of her meal. She rushed to finish, because now she was bursting with excitement. Her first trip in the wizarding world.
"Okay, I'm ready. Let's go," Raven said with more enthusiasm than she had had in a very long time.

Zanna smiled and they headed out the door. How they got to Diagon Alley was just by taking a train. When they finally reached their stop, Zanna and Raven stepped out and Zanna lead Raven to the Leaky CAuldron. "This here's the Leaky Cauldron, it's a pub, all magical beings gather here." She said, and then walked Raven out to the back.
Now here is Diagon Alley, she said pointing to a Brick wall. She took out her wand, then hesistated. She then turned to Raven, "I'll let you have the honor" she said and hanede her want to Raven. It was at least 12 inches and was white. "Now see these three bricks" Zanna said pointing to them," Tap them each And you're in Diagon Alley."

Raven looked at her skeptically, then figured why not? So she tapped the three bricks Zanna had pointed out. After a moment when nothing had happened, Raven decided she had done it wrong, or Zanna was just crazy. Then the wall seemed to move. Yes, it was moving. The wall was parting. Through the parting Raven saw the real magic world. First she stood amazed, then she regaines her senses.
"Well," she said as she turned to Zanna," what are we waiting for?" And she started walking through the passage.

Zanna smiled, "Yeah. before we go, give me back my wand." She said laughing. She took her wand back, and said "Ok let's get to Gringotts, she said as she led the way to a crooked marble buildiing on the corner of a street. "There it is Gringotts, so uh where's your money?" Zanna asked as her and Raven walked into the marble building.

Raven handed Zanna her wand back. Of coarse, why hadn't she thought of that? Raven took out $100 muggle dollars and looked at Zanna.
"Is this enough?" It had better be because she didn't have anymore. Her grandmother was already angry because she was going to this 'evil' school and refused to give her anymore.

Zanna took the money and held it, "I dunno, I don't work with money, I spend it" SHe said with a giggle. She walked up to the desk where a goblin stood. "Um I would like to convert this money under the name of Sheerwood." She said handing the $100 bill to the goblin. THe goblin snatched it and and began sniffing it. When he looked satisfied, he handed her a key, "Vault# 45." He said. "Sneagle there will bring you to it." He added and another goblin walked up and escorted them to Raven's vault.
Zanna handed the key to Raven and said,"Keep that safe."

Raven took the key from Zanna and placed it in the bottom of her pocket. They then followed the goblin down a series of halls. How lond would it take to do this? Aand how deep will we be going? The goblin turned around to check that they were still following him. His wrinkled face made it difficult for Raven to look at him.
"Have you ever done this before?" She asked Zanna. She hoped that Zanna had more experience than she did.

Zanna looked at Raven, then at the goblin who was slowing down. She looked at the vaults, "Vault 38, Vault 39, Vault 40." She looked back at Raven, "Course I've done this before, now the first thing we need is to get money and then your wand, most important thing." She said. The goblin finally stopped.
"Key Please." he said holding out his hand.
