NARRATOR

It was late August and things were going brilliantly for Fred and George. They had their brand new joke shop in Diagon Alley. The alley was more colorful, bright, joyfully, and filled with excited kids getting ready to enter the most fun shop in Diagon Alley. Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Fred and George were both standing at the top of the stairs in their shop, looking proud of their creation. Fred and George had always wanted to bring joy to the people in the world, and they were glad that they were doing just that. Fred and George were wearing a set of Magneta robes that matched their beautiful red hair perfectly. Then, they both heard a laugh that caught their attention and saw harry potter, Iron, and Hermione laughing as they were looking at one of the objects in the shop. 

"How are you, Harry?", Fred asked as he shook Harry's hand. "And what the bloody hell happened to your eye, Hermione?", George asked as his face grew a bit with concern.

"Your punching telescope.", Hermione said angrily. 

"Oh god, I forgot about those.", said Fred. "Here-" Fred pulled a tub out of his pocket and handed it to Hermione. She then unscrewed gently to reveal a yellow paste. 

"It's safe, isn't it?", Asked Hermione concerned for what she was about to place on her bruise. 

"Why of course.", George said bracingly. "Come on Harry, we'll give you a tour.", George continued as he guided Harry and his brother, Fred, down the store. As they walked, they spotted Ginny and Hermione looking at love a pink liquid. 

"Love potions ey?", Fred teased. "They really do work. They work for 24 hours. Although it all depends on the weight of the boy and the attractiveness of a girl.", he continued. When he eyes the eye potion Ginny was holding, his mind traveled somewhere else. To someone else. 

"Although I hear you've been doing just fine yourself Ginny.", Fred mentioned. Ginny rolled her eyes and responded. 

"That's none of your business.", Ginny said sassily and walked away with Hermione. 

As Harry turned around from the conversation the twins were having about her sister, he looked out the window and saw a boy he knew all to well and an unrecognizable girl.One of which he loathed entirely, and one which he couldn't quite recognize since she had a black cloak covering her face. The tall platinum haired boy walked alone in a black suit, accompanied by a long brown haired girl who wore a black skirt and white blouse. The boy looked pailer and his face was numb. The girl looked to her side slightly, as if she were admiring the shop and Harry could see the end of a sad smile on the girls face. The pair hurried down the street quietly, looking extremly suspicious. It straned Hary that Narcissa, Draco's mother, would let her son run along alone willingly since she would usually never let him out of her sight. Harry then thought, that Malfoy was up to something, and he would stop at nothing to find out what it is. 

Harry looked away from the window and sped towards Ron and Hermione, who were bickering about only god knows what. He grabbed both their arms and pulled them towards a hidden corner in the store and spoke. 

"Quick, get under here.", he whisper yelled as he took out the invisiabilty cloak out of his bag. Ron got under it, but Hermione looked hesitant. 

"Come on!", Ron hurried Hermione. She hesitated for another second but then got under the cloak with Harry and Ron. Making sure nobody noticed them vanish, they looked around the shop and noticed that everybody was too interested in Fred and George's products. They ran quickly towards the shop door and Harry led them towards the street he saw Draco and the unknown figure walk in. 

"What exactly are we looking for?", asked Ron who was very confused. 

"Malfoy. I saw him without his mother but with someone I couldn't quite recognize.", Harry explained. "Come on, they went this way!", Harry whispered loud enough for his friends to hear him. After taking a quick turn, the trio spotted the platinum haired boy and the mystery girl. They observed that the pair was walking left and then slid into Knockturn Alley, now out of sight. Since Knockturn Alley was devoted to the Dark Arts, naturally, that made Harry Potter even more curious. Once Harry hurried his friends into the Alley, he nos spotted Draco and the cloaked girl walking into a store he has never been too. Borgin and Burkes . Draco shook the man in the shop's hand. He had greasy hair and a long face. The girl in the cloak just nodded at the man. Draco began to move his hands as he spoke, signaling that he was talking about something important. 

"If we could hear what they were saying this would be so much easier.", Harmione groaned. 

"We can!", Ron cheered, taking out extendable ears, from his brothers shop, in his bag. Once they connect the ears to the door, they began to listen. 

"...you know how to fix it?", asked Draci eagerly. 

"Perhaps.", said Borgin. He had the voice of a man who could care less of what a 16 year old boy could be saying. "I need to see it tho. Bring it into the shop.", theman said bored. 

"We can't. We need to stay put. Just tell us how to do it ", The girl under the cloak spoke. Haryy furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to recognize that voice. He looked at Ron and Hermione, who looked like they also found that voice familiar. It was a soft but demanding voice. 

"Then I might not be able to help you.", spoke Borgin. "It will be a very difficult job if I am not able to see it. I can guarantee a good effect.", Borgin continued. Draco frowned and a intimidating smirk grew on his face as he raised his eyebrow. 

"No?", said Draco. "Perhaps this will make you feel a tad bit more confident.", Malfoy spoke as his voice got deeper. He moved toward Borgin, now towering over a him, looking very frightend. But then, the girl under the cloak reached for Draco's wrist and spoke once again. 

"Draco, not now.", the girl said quietly. Draco huffed and stepped away from the scared man and glared at him. 

"Not a word. Especially to my mother... I don't want her to worry.", Malfoy explained. Borgin nodded and observed as the pair walked away. As the trio watched the pair head to the door, they huried into a dark alley, trying to stay hidden. The door of Borgin and Burkes opened, reaviling a stressed Draco and the girl in the cloack. But then, to the trio's surprise, the girl took the hood of her cloak off, now revealing the face of the girl Fred hasn't heard from for the past to months. She had a pailer look on her face. The eyes under her bags were marked, and her hair was slightly longer and it had dark strands of red. It was none other than Aquila Phoenix. The pair walked out of the store, arms interclocked, looking down towards the floor.
