After we finished eating we walked to the living room, everyone was gathering in front of a large fireplace.

"You first, Leon dear." Mrs. Weasley offers me a flowerpot. At the bottom is a layer of very soft dust. I frowned in confusion

"Leon or Harry never traveled by Floo Powder before, Mum" Ron tells Mrs.Weasley

"Floo Powder?" Me and Harry said in unison, confused. Then one of Ron's older brother Percy steps in.

"Percy. Would you mind going first, so Leon and Harry can see how it's done?" Mrs.Weasley asks

"Certainly, Mother. Don't worry, Leon. It's simple enough." He says looking at me, then looks at the pot taking a pinch of it, pitches it into the fireplace and bright green flames roar high. Percy calmly walks straight into them.

"Diagon Alley" Percy vanishes. I reach into the pot taking a pinch of the floo powder.

"Remember to speak clearly, dear!" Mrs.Weasley instructed.

"And mind you get out at the right grate!" Ron says

I nodded unsure

"D-Dia-gon Alley!"

Next thing I knew, I fell face forward onto a stone hearth. I was dizzy and dirty I stand up and dust myself off and coughed a little, it was long until Harry come out behind me falling face forward as well onto a stone hearth, shattering his glasses. I looked down at him and I stick my hand out he take out his hand grabbing on to mine I pull him up and we started looking around.

"Where are we" I said whispering

"I don't know. But the exits over there"

We start walking towards the exit until I caught my eye on a withered hand in a glass case it was called: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘺. Nearby, was a opal necklace that gleamed that a caution: 𝗗𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵. 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗮𝘀 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲. Oddly transfixed by it all, but I just follows Harry towards the exit, when... Draco Malfoy and his father, Lucius Malfoy, appear beyond the front window, approaching the shop. Harry glances about, spies a large black cabinet and signals to it he slips inside and I went in after him I pull the doors closed. Malfoy and his father enter. A stooped man emerges from the back room. Me and Harry

"Mr.Malfoy! What a pleasure to see you again. If I may, just today-" The man said being interrupted by Mr.Malfoy

"I'm not buying today, Mr. Borgin. But selling." Mr.Malfoy says

"Selling?" Mr.Borgin asked confused

"You have heard, of course, that the Ministry of Magic is conducting more raids. There are even rumors of a new Muggle Protection Act..." Mr.Malfoy unravels a roll of parchment, hands it to Mr.Borgin. "I have a few... ah... items at home that might prove embarrassing if the Ministry were to call. Certain poisons and the like..." Mr.Malfoy negotiated.

" Hmmm... yes.   I see..." Mr. Borgin says

"Harry..." I whispered

He looks at me knowingly and we both look up the ceiling was dropping. I watched Draco, reach out to The Hand of Glory when the hands grabs him. Draco shrieks he manages to slip then calms down. I watch his eyes malicious in glee.

"Can I have this?" Draco asks

"Ah, the Hand of Glory. Insert a candle and it gives light only to the holder. Best friend of thieves and plunderers. Your son has fine taste, sir." Mr.Borgin says to Mr.Malfoy
