Before I knew it, the next summer had passed, and I found myself in the bustling streets of Diagon Alley, shopping for school supplies unfortunately, with my family. Elara and Theodore were off gaping at a shop window that was displaying the Nimbus 2000, which, I admit, was very aesthetically pleasing.
