*Annabella's POV*
"Do you need anything, like some new gloves or goggles for when we play?" Draco asked while looking at a shelf, picking out a pair for himself then offering me a pair as well. We were in the quidditch supplies shop in Diagon Alley. He had picked up a few other things in there like a quidditch jumper that I said I liked as it would suit him very well.
"No, I think I'm all good. Haven't played in a long time so I doubt they are worn out yet."
"Okay. I will be forcing you to play with me though. Plus, you are coming to the World Cup right?" He smiled at me.
"Yeah, but only because the Minister of Magic invited all of us. Otherwise you know your parents wouldn't have let me go incase I get any ideas." I scoffed, rolling my eyes with a small smile on my lips. He let out a deep chuckle at my remark, before turning to look at me with those bright grey orbs of his.
"You go and wait outside while I pay. Is there anywhere you want to go?"
"I don't mind really, actually, I would like to go into Madam Primpernelle's to get some perfume... and Madam Malkin's I need to pick up something I ordered at Easter."
"Ok sounds like a plan! What did you order at Easter? When did you come here?" He said, digging in his coat pocket. We had dressed up to come here, if any Malfoy were to show their face in public with casual wear on, they would be ridiculed. I however could, although by association I still had to dress nicely. He had his classic black suit on with a long thick black coat. I had a silver strappy slip dress, down to my calves, on with a pair heels and a coat similar to Draco's but it cinched in at the waist.
"Oh it's nothing really, I came with Cissy when you and your father were visiting Gringotts" I answered, dismissing the question as to not raise suspicion of why and what I was collecting. He seemed pleased with my answer, gesturing for me to go as he opened his wallet, walking towards the cashier.
I stood on the cobblestone street of Diagon Alley, admiring my surroundings. I had always thought this line of shops to be one of the few places I truly loved, it was always filled with so much colour and had such a happy atmosphere to it. We usually came here a lot, whether it was as a family or on trips with just Draco and I or Narcissa and I... I was looking forward to the normal refreshment break we would take while shopping. The food and drink around here was divine. I felt a light tap on my shoulder and a kiss on my neck as a pair of arms wrapped around my waist.
Only he would do that... Merlin, he is desperate. He can't keep his hands to himself the poor bugger.
I whipped around to see a smiling Draco, holding a bag of shopping with the logo from 'Quality Quiddith Supplies' -the shop we had just been in- plastered on the front. I placed a kiss on his cheek and held his hand in mine as we began to walk towards Madam Primpernelle's.
As soon as I stepped in my senses were overwhelmed, there were shelves upon shelves stocked with the latest beauty products, potions, perfumes, healthcare products, slightly more adult products too. There were bright colours everywhere, oranges, pinks, blues and greens. There were things that sparkled and glowed which were very enticing, but I knew what I needed to get. Well not needed but wanted. I saw it advertised in the back of Witch Weekly, a new range of perfumes, I wanted to test them and see what one I liked best.
I walked over to the stand and began to spray small amounts onto pieces of test parchment to smell the 'flavour'. I was about to give up as my nose was tired after smelling seven scents already, when I saw the name of the last one. Irresistible... Now that seemed more like me. I sprayed it and instantly fell in love with the heavenly aroma. I looked at the back of the bottle to see what notes were in it:
