Draco's POV

"Letters from school," Mr. Weasley said, handing us each our letter's.

"Dumbledore already knows you're here, Harry - doesn't miss a trick, that man. You two've got them, too," We all ripped open our letter's, and the room was quiet for a minute, reading our letters.

"You've been told to get all Lockhart's books, too! The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher must be a fan - bet it's a witch." Fred said, glancing at Harry's letter.

"That lot won't come cheap. Lockhart's books are really expensive," George said, nervously.

"Well, well manage. Ginny will have to have hand-me-down, I figure." She said,

"Oh, your starting Hogwarts's this year?" Harry asked her. She blushed, nodding. Dora giggled again.

"Morning all! Lovely day?" Percy said happily. He sat down, jumping up quickly, and picking up a small owl.

"Errol!" Ron groaned,

"Finally he's got Hermione's answer. I wrote to her saying we were going to try to rescue you from the Dursleys." Ron said, happily taking the note from Errol.

"Dear Ron, Draco, and Harry if you're there, I hope everything went all right, and that Harry is okay and that you didn't do anything illegal to get him out, you two, because that would get Harry into trouble, too. I've been really worried and if Harry is all right, will you please let me know at once, but perhaps it would be better if you used a different owl because I think another delivery might finish your one off. I'm very busy with schoolwork, of course'- "

"How can she be?" said Ron, shaking his head.

"We're on vacation! - 'and we're going to London next Wednesday to buy my new books. Why don't we meet in Diago n Alley? Let me know what's happening as soon as you can. Love from Hermione. "Ron finished,

"Well, that works just nicely. We'll go then." Mrs. Weasley commented.

The following week, we all changed and stood in front of a fireplace. Mrs. Weasley passed around a flowerpot filled with Floo Powder. I grabbed a hand full, before she offered it to Harry.

"W-what am I supposed to do?" He asked,

"Idiot." Dora whispered,

"He's never traveled by Floo powder. Sorry, Harry, I forgot." Ron smacked himself on the forehead.

"Never? But how did you get to Diagon Alley to buy your school things last year?" Mr. Weasley asked,

"I went on the underground." Harry answered.

"Really? Were there escapators? How exactly -"

"Not now, Arthur," Mrs. Weasley interrupted, an excited Mr. Weasley, who started pouting.

"Floo powder's a lot quicker, dear, but goodness me, if you've never used it before -"

"Harry's fine Mum. Just watch us, Harry." Fred said, before stepping into the fire and throwing the powder out, which now turned emerald green.

"Diagon Alley!" Fred yelled before vanishing.

"You must speak clearly, dear, And be sure to get out at the right grate." Mrs. Weasley explained before George vanished. Harry grabbed a pile of floo powder as everyone started telling him what to do.

"D-Dia-gon Alley," Harry muttered, before vanishing.

"What did he say?" I asked,

"Oh, dear." Mrs. Weasley said nervously.
