Virgo was slightly disturbed by something softly tickled at his nose. Inevitably he must wake up from his sweet dreams. Hm, Virgo even doesn't know whether his dream was beautiful or not.
His eyes blinked softly. His blurred vision caught the figure of a black cat that was oftenly perched in front of his bedroom window and now sitting on the edge of his bed. Instantly, Virgo woke up and surprised.
The cat figure wasn't there, but Virgus who was sitting on the edge of the bed, glared at him. Those eyes...
"W-what are you doing here ?! You surprised me!" Virgo strokes his chest which incessantly toss a loud beat from the inside.
"I've been waiting for you to wake up."
"Err.. why?" Virgo asked him nervously.
"Don't you have to shop for your new school stuff?"
Ah, today is the day he had been waited. It's really sad if he was forgot this fun day.
"Alright, i will-"
"You don't need to take a bath. Eat your breakfast and dress up. I'll wait you." Virgus said firmly as he pointed to a bowl of cereal and a glass of ginger milk on the nightstand table.
Virgo only obeyed Virgus's command that sound err .. a little fierce for him. Or maybe this is just an effect because he rarely talks to Virgus. Yes, maybe.
"Father and mother ... can't take you to Diagon Alley because of sudden business." Virgus tried to speak as quietly as possible.
Virgo just chews the cereal in silence. This time his heart beats faster when he remembers something. And at that moment he choked by his cereal.
"Vi-virgo are you okay?"
"Yes, i'm okay."
"Your eyes..."
Virgus transfixed. Not with Virgo, but with his yellow eyes. Those eyes are light up. It just looks weird. Not because of the sunlight, there is something hidden from that boy.
"My eyes? It's glowing, right? I think it because the sunlight."
Ah, stupid Virgus. Why doesn't he think so? Pft..
"Finish your breakfast, we don't have much time."
No need to spend hours, Virgo has finished his breakfast and changed his clothes. Plain black shirt wrapped in a thick black jacket and scarf.
For a moment Virgo looked at his brother who was looking at the yard outside his room. He looks very handsome with all-black clothes for his teenager age. And his hair...
"I realized it if you're dye your hair into the black."
"I just want to match your hair color. Are you ready?"
"Err ... I feel something is missing."
"Your letter, all your needs lists are there." Virgo reached into his jacket pocket, pulled the letter out from there.
"Then what's lacking?" Virgo just shaked his head.
"Now go into your fireplace."
Virgus took a bowl of powder just above the fireplace in Virgo's room. Seeing that thing reminded Virgo of Scorpius who had scolded him for spilling the powder right in Nochu's body. That owl's body ended up full with the powder.
"Take enough of this floo powder." Virgo takes a handful of the powder. By the way, he just found out the name of the powder.
"Listen carefully, before dropping the powder you have to pronounce the name of the place where you want to go firmly and clearly. We will go to Diagon Alley. That's the name of the place."
"On the count of three, do as I was saying. One, two, thr-"
"DIAGONALLY!" Virgo drops a handful of powder, then the green smoke appeared and removes Virgo from behind the smoke without leaving a trace.
Virgus was being silent for a while, then checking inside the fireplace. "Did he just said Diagonally?" He muttered to himself.
SRRAA!
Virgo glides, falls and comes out of the fireplace. Black ash stuck over to almost all of his face.
Wait, what is this place?
"Magic ..." Virgo murmured after he realized that he had moved to the different place. He quickly cleaned his body from dust.
This place is very dusty, full of antiques which he thinks is very scary for him. He wanted to leave this place quickly.
But, this smell ...
Virgo began to follow this strange smell. He just stepped on his feet, following the flow of the scent that lured him to approach him.
"What can I do for you, sir?"
Virgo was surprised when the old man who he believed was the owner of an antique shop came suddenly, approached him and looked at himself sharply. But immediately the look on that face changed, like someone was scared with a ghost.
"N-nothing, I just got lost and came to your place accidentally. T-thank you." Virgo quickly stepped out of that terrible place. And...
GRAB!
"Virgo! Where have you been ?! Why did you get here?!"
"V-virgus i just-"
How did Virgus find him in here?
The hand of a man who was four years younger than him was pulled tight, coming out of a terrible place with a visitor that... terrible too.
"I'm sorry, Virgus. I just-"
"That's okay. It's your first time and i really don't mind it."
"How could you find me?"
"I was lost at there too when i was at the same age like you and i guess you were there too. So i go there." Virgus scrunch his nose. "Eww.. Such a dirty place."
By the way, this is the first time for Virgo knowing about Virgus who suddenly talking too much.
"You should wear this hat. And give me your letter." Virgus put a black bucket to Virgo's head.
"Why?" Virgo asked him curiously while handed the letter to Virgus.
"Your eyes can catch people attention. And i really hate being a center of attention even it's not me." Virgus keep talking while read all the list on the letter. Virgo just trying to peek what's on the list.

"We're going to get your uniform first. And.. don't try to take off the hat unless you're really like being an attention seeker."
They walked along the hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley. And indeed, no one looked at them at all.
"We're going there." said Virgus, nodding toward 𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘮 𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯'𝘴 𝘙𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘖𝘤𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 . "Listen, Virgo, would you mind if I slipped off for buy all your book at 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘉𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘴?" He looks want everything are done early, so Virgo entered Madam Malkin's shop alone, feeling nervous.
But, wait.. what is 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘉𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘴?
"Hogwarts, dear?" a young lady with a peach dress said, when Virgo started to speak. "Got the lot here - another young man being fitted up just now, in fact."
This smell. The smell of this woman really made Virgo insane for a second. Virgo suddenly feel burning and thirsty inside his body. But, he's tried to calm down.
"Are you Madam Malkin?" Virgo asked in curiousity since the lady is too young to be called as madam.
"No, i'm her grand daughter. My name is Katlyn if you want to know" She smiled widely. Virgo want to asked more but he just too shy since he never talk to any woman or girl, except his mother.
In the back of the shop, a boy with a wide shoulder and pointed face was standing on a footstool while a second witch pinned up his long black robes. Mrs. Katlyn stood Virgo on a stool next to him slipped a long robe over his head, and began to pin it to the right length.
"Hello," said the boy, "Hogwarts, too?"
"Yes," said Virgo in coldness tone.
"I like your hat."
"Thanks..."
"And what are you up too in here?" Virgo tried to talk to this stranger even he little bit nervous.
"I tore my Quidditch robe again." The boy shrughed his shoulder. Virgo feel stupid now. It was his first time hearing that strange word, Quidditch.
"Are you the first year student? If that so then you are the same age with my little sister. I hope my little sister will be in Gryffindor like me. Know what house you'll be in yet?" He smile widely.
"Uh.. no..." said Virgo, feeling more stupid by the minute.
But before the boy could speak again, Mrs. Katlyn said, "That's you done, my dear," and Virgo, not sorry for an excuse to stop talking to the boy since he isn't good at interact, hopped down from the footstool and run out to Virgus who already waited him at outside with two cup of ice cream and a stack of books in his left hand.
"Well, I'll see you at Hogwarts, I suppose," said the wide shoulder boy.
Virgo was rather quiet as he ate the ice cream Virgus had bought him (matcha ice cream).
"What's up?" said Virgus.
"Nothing," Virgo lied. They stopped to buy parchment and quills. Virgo cheered up a bit when he found a bottle of ink that changed color as you wrote. When they had left the shop, he said, "Virgus, what's Quidditch?"
"Your mother never told you about Quidditch?! I though she was very close with you?!"
"Don't make me feel worse," said Virgo. He told Virgus about the wide shoulders boy in Madam Malkin's shop.
"- and he said his little sister will be in the Gryffindor and asked me about the house that i'll be in-"
"Well, i don't know too. Maybe, you're going into Slytherin like me." Virgo just nodded his head even he doubting himself since he is 'different'.
"So what is Quidditch?"
"It's our sport. Wizard sport. It's like soccer in the Muggle world - played up in the air on broomsticks and there's four balls - sorta hard to explain the rules. I'm the seeker in my team, by the way."
"And what are Slytherin and Gryffindor?"
"School houses. There's four houses. Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and.. Hufflepuff. Everyone says Hufflepuff are a lot of duffers, and that's the fact."
"I bet I will be in Hufflepuff," said Virgo gloomily.
"You're not going to be a part of them," said Virgus, scrunch his nose disgustingly. "You can enter all the houses but not Hufflepuff!"
"But i think that's okay?"
"Oh, bloody hell! Not even!"
