The Jade Malfoy Book 1: Goblet of Fire

Chapter 8: Shopping & Dueling

     "Make sure you two stay together please." Narcissa says before specifically looking at Draco. "Stay with her. Do not let her get lost." She speaks to both of them again. "Your father had to go to Knockturn Alley. Remember to stay out of there. If you need me I will be at Twillfits and Tattings. Do not forget our appointment at Madam Malkin's."

     "We know Mother." Draco says.

     "Just stay out of trouble." Narcissa looks at Ursa.

     "You transfigure one Muggle into a frog and suddenly you are a troublemaker." Ursa says.

     "Come on idiot." Draco says as she drags Ursa away.

     In Flourish and Blotts, Ursa sees a book she's interested in. "Oh, there's a new edition of Fantastic Beasts!" She says.

     "You don't need the newest edition for school. I hate that class." Draco says.

     "Why?"

     "It's taught by an oaf and I got hurt in it last year."

     "Oh I heard. 'It's killed meh, it's killed meh!'" Ursa laughs and Draco glares at her.

     "Crabbe or Goyle?"

     "Mother actually. She told me what happened in her weekly letter. Though the 'it's killed me' came from them."

     "You're annoying."

     "The last nine years have been boring without me. Admit it Dray."

     "A little bit. You don't need it."

     "What's wrong with getting a few books for myself? It's not like we can't afford it."

     "What electives are you taking anyways?"

     "Care of Magical Creatures, Divinations, and Ancient Runes."

     "Ancient Runes? Three classes? Are you serious?"

     "Yes. I took it at Ilvermorny so it makes sense that I continue them here. Three electives were required."

     "I would recommend buying the book for at least one other elective in case our parents make you switch."

     Ursa smiles as she speaks. "Maybe I should take Muggle Studies." Draco hits Ursa upside the head and she laughs. "I'm kidding. Im kidding. Geez. I know our parents would kill me. And I don't need a spare book, I can just drop one."

     Ursa wanders over to the small Dark Arts selection. "This section isn't for young girls." A wizard says.

     "Then it is a good thing I am not a young girl, isn't it?" Ursa replies as she pulls a copy of A Compendium of Common Curses and Their Counter-Curses from the shelf. She skims the Table of Contents until the wizard suddenly take it from her. "Hey!"

     "Trust me, this isn't a book for a sweet young girl." He says.

     Ursa swipes it from him. "Well it is a good thing I am not sweet." Ursa puts it in her basket and walks away. She finds Draco in the Charms section. "I don't believe I need a Charms book. I have the set."

     "You have all of the volumes of The Standard Book of Spells?" Draco asks.

     "Of course Hogwarts uses different books. No, I have all the volumes of Chadwicks's Charms. Guess I should probably get the first three to make sure I am not behind." Ursa grabs the first three off the shelves.

     "Do you have everything? We need to go if we want to go home after our robe fitting."

     "I think so." Ursa turns and walks up to the counter. After she pays she walks towards the door. She accidentally ran into someone and both of their books fall. "Oh I am sorry."
