Two Little Ghosts Chapter 11

The goblins asked what Harry wanted to do with all the money and heritage he owned. Harry proceeded to ask that all the money be as equally distributed as possible to each goblin's family on the council and all the books & physical items to be given to a goblin historian or record keeper of some sort while the armor to go back to the original makers of it or if there was no owner to smelt it down into something useful for the goblins. All of the stock in the companies sold at a profit to whoever's the biggest living enemies of Dumbdoor and Weasels. The goblins had to hold back a laugh as Harry screwed up the names of the foul wizards and witches and were very glad to meet the boy even though the tragic circumstances.

Harry and Hermione went out of the bank and back into the alley whose name was actually "Diagon Alley." The two ghosts had found a signpost and saw "Nocturn Alley," "Diagon Alley," and some fancy-schmancy alley that they couldn't (more like didn't) want to try too hard. Hermione wondered aloud if it was "Diagon Alley" because it was constructed diagonally or "Nocturn Alley" was because it was perpetually nighttime and had shady businesses. Harry told her, "Mind = Blowed right now"

The two little ghosts wandered all around the different alleys for the next month or so. Exploring every nook, cranny, and popping in & out surprising whoever was nearby. Just as the ghosts were getting bored with the area they saw a family with sleek robes and platinum blonde hair.

"Wow, they look so cool!" Harry popped out and floated near them. "They are gonna go to the bank and getting to the fancy alleys, huh, Hermione?"

Hermione appeared by Harry, "saying just because we're ghosts doesn't mean you can just point at people and talk about them, Harry. Yes, the son has been here before and is near our approximate age in living form doesn't mean he can play with us. Besides, you and I know it's time to head to Ireland. There's the leprechaun festival and seeing the fair ghost."

The blonde-haired family was looking at them curiously by the end of Hermione's tirade. "Uh, Hermione, They're looking at us now. We could just say Hello and then go? Couldn't we? It has to be ruder to leave when they are looking rather than leaving after, right?" Hermione blushed at seeing that Harry was right and they floated down to in front of the family.

The family was very proper and the adults didn't let their surprise at two kid ghosts zooming around. The boy, however, dropped his jaw and said aloud, "You are ghosts! Right in Diagon Alley! I thought only Hogwarts had ghosts!"

The father put a hand on the boy's shoulder to calm him down. The mother then said, "I am Lady Narcissa Malfoy and this is my husband, Lord Lucius Malfoy. The boy is our son Draco Malfoy. We are headed to the bank to purchase some available stock. What about yourselves?"

Harry looked at Hermione and looked back at the newly named Malfoy family before speaking, "This is my Lady Hermione Granger and I am Harry Potter. The stock you are purchasing is probably my family's stock. I told the goblins that I wanted whoever was the biggest living enemy of Dumbledore and Weasels to get whatever price they were asking for and have the profits sent to the poorest but righteous goblin family." Hermione blushed again at the fact Harry called her his lady. Harry probably never read a fairy tale but he was doing all the right things for her.

The Malfoys were shocked at the admission that was said and Lucius responded, "Well thank you very much for the deal, Mr. Potter. I can only say if you get to Wales on your traveling please visit us. It would be a lovely chat knowing your life story and Lady Hermione's story of course. While ghosts don't typically eat they can and we'll try a variety luncheon for your visit as well."

"Thank you kindly, Lord Malfoy. We hope you all have a good day," Harry and Hermione said in unison before flying off.
