Hagrid swats at Harry's sooty clothes. Hagrid: "Yer a mess! Skulkin' 'round Knockturn Alley. Dodgy place, Harry. Don't want no one ter see yeh down there. People'll be thinkin' yer up ter no good. Where's your sister. Y/n walks up behind them. Regulus: "Where were you?" Y/n: "I landed at Borgin's and Burkes." Regulus: "Okay." Harry: "I was lost, I -- Hang on. What were you doing down there?" Hagrid: "I was lookin' fer a Flesh Eatin' Slug Repellent. They're ruinin' the school cabbages." Hermione: "Harry! Y/n!" Harry looks up, sees Hermione standing at the top of Gringotts' white steps. She runs down to meet them. Hermione: "Hello, Hagrid. Oh, it's wonderful to see you three again. She stops then, cocks her head curiously at Harry, then takes out her wand and points it directly between his eyes. Hermione: "Oculus Reparo." Instantly, Harry's glasses are mended. Harry: "I need to remember that one." Hermione: "C'mon. Everyone's been so worried. Mr. Black? I thought you were-" Regulus: "Dead? A lot of people did. Y/n here saved my life." Y/n grabs his wand. Regulus: "Y/n." Y/n: "Black Walnut. Unicorn Hair. Length: 9 1/2″. Flexible. Dark and glossy, this wand is neat and smooth, almost sharp around the marked-out edges - like a dark-lacquered Japanese chopstick, almost. It seems like this is a wand that forces it's master to be honest with himself. If he is not, he shall have to search for a new wand." Regulus: "You're good." Hermione leads them to Gringotts, where Hermione's rather nervous-looking Muggle parents stand with the Weasleys. Y/n: "Mr and Mrs. Granger! It's a pleasure to meet you. Hermione! Hermione!" Hermione: "Yes, Y/n?" Y/n: "Guess what?!" Hermione: "What?" Y/n: "I got an internship with Newt Scamander!" Hermione: "Congratulations! That's so exciting. You absolutely adore animals I'm so glad you're going to have so much fun!" Mr. Granger: "Hello, you must be Y/n Maximoff. Like the Scarlet Witch?" Y/n: "Ironic right?" Y/n glances at Hermione. Hermione: "Dad. Remember it's a sensitive topic." Mr. Weasley: "So you're dentists! Fascinating! I understand other Muggles quite fear you? Why is that?" Mrs. Weasley: "Oh, Harry. Thank goodness. We hoped you'd only gone one grate too far. Come now. We're off to Flourish and Blotts." Hermione: "Isn't it thrilling! Gilderoy Lockhart's going to be there! We can actually meet him! I mean, he's written almost the whole booklist!" As Mrs. Weasley and Hermione dash off, Harry frowns. Harry: "Who?" Y/n & Regulus: "A fraud." Regulus: "Oh! And I took the job offer." Y/n: "Yay!" Regulus: "Let's go." He ushers Y/n to Flourish and Blotts.

~Flourish and Blotts~

 Gilderoy Lockhart. A handsome, golden-haired wizard with stunning pearl-white teeth. He smiles and winks at the camera. Dolly back to reveal that the image of Lockhart is a moving photograph propped in the window. A placard declares HERE TODAY! SIGNING COPIES OF HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY, MAGICAL ME... GILDEROY LOCKHART! Harry and the others thread their way through a chattering throng of Middle-Aged ladies, all craning their necks for a view of Lockhart, who sits signing books at the rear of the shop. Y/n: "Regulus?" Regulus: "Yes?" Y/n: "Watch my body. I'm going to get my other books. Just make sure it doesn't do anything weird." Regulus: "Okay?" y/n goes into the Astral plane as her body just stands next to Regulus. Sapphire Witch: "Don't let him touch me while I get my other books." She leaves but can still see and hear everything. At the sight of him, Mrs. Weasley pats her hair. Mrs. Weasley: "There he is!" Ron: "Mum fancies him." For this, Mrs. Weasley jabs Ron in the shoulder. A short man with a camera bumps past. Y/n's body: "Apologize to him." Short Man: "Out of the way! This is for The Daily Prophet!" Y/n's body: "I said to apologize to him." Instantly, Lockhart looks up, and flashes a smile, when... Lockhart: "It can't be Harry and Y/n Potter? Sapphire Witch: "What?" The crowd whispers excitedly as Lockhart dives forward, and seizes Harry and Y/n's hand, but before he can turn Regulus grabs his arm. Regulus: "Release her or else." Lockhart: "R-Regulus Black!" Regulus: "Release my daughter from your grasp, now. She doesn't want you to touch her, and frankly, I don't blame her. So, let her go." He releases Y/n's body and turns Harry toward the photographer. Lockhart: (under his breath) "Nice big smile, Harry. Together, you and I rate the front page. (as the CAMERA FLASHES) Ladies and gentlemen! What an extraordinary moment this is! When young Harry here stepped into Flourish and Blotts this morning to purchase my autobiography, Magical Me -- which, incidentally is celebrating its twenty-seventh week atop The Daily Prophet's Bestseller List -- he had no idea that he would be leaving with my entire collected works! Free of charge!" Lockhart hands Regulus a stack of books for Y/n causing both of their noses to scrunch up. Fred: "That's cool." Sapphire: "What?" Fred: "The way your two's noises scrunched up at the same time." Sapphire: "I've got the rest of my books." The Sapphire Witch flies back into her body. Y/n: I can carry those." Regulus: "You sure?" Y/n: "Telekinesis." Regulus: "Woah." The Daily Prophet man turns to see Regulus Black standing there alive and well. Man: "Regulus Articulus Black?!" Regulus: "Yes?" Man: "How are you alive?" Regulus: "Y/n saved my life." The crowd flocks him. Regulus: "Stop. If you excuse us. I need to get my daughter her school supplies for the year. Now please go back to your business the Ministry of Magic already knows what happened." As the crowd claps, Lockhart catches the eye of a flunky and, before Harry knows it, a towering stack of books is shoved into his arms. Mortified, Harry mumbles quietly. Harry: "Thank you." Slipping free, Harry drifts back into the crowd and, red with embarrassment drops the books into Ginny's cauldron. Harry: "You have these. I'll buy my own --" Draco: (appearing, sneers) "Bet you loved that, didn't you, Potters? Famous Harry and Y/n Potter. Can't even go into a bookshop without making the front page." Adrian: "Draco. Not cool." Ginny: "Leave him alone! He didn't want all that!" Draco: "Look, Potters. You've got yourself a girlfriend and boyfriend!" Regulus: "Malfoy." Lucius: "Black." Y/n: "Cedric!" Cedric: "Y/n! I regrew my arm!" Y/n: "Did you shatter it and then just decided to cut it off?" Cedric: "Yeah. It only took two days." Adrian: "I moved a mountain." Y/n: "I got an internship." Cedric: "Here we are messing around while Y/n here is planning for her future." Y/n: "With Newt Scamander." Cedric: "No way!" Adrian: "That's great." Lucius: "Eh-hmm!" Y/n: "Sorry. Continue." Lucius: "Silence, Draco! Ah... Mr. Potter. I don't believe we've met. Lucius Malfoy extends his hand as if offering to shake Harry's, but instead gently plays his fingers over the fringe of Harry's scalp, revealing Harry's lightning bolt scar. At his touch, Harry withdraws, ever so slightly. Lucius then grabs Y/n's hair and looks at the roots. Lucius: "Natural?" Y/n: "Assult!" Regulus holds Y/n close. Regulus: "Don't touch my daughter Malfoy." Malfoy: "My apologizes." Y/n hugs Regulus. Lucius: "Forgive me, Mr. and Ms. Potter. But your scar and hair are legends. As, of course, is the wizard who gave to you your scar. Were you born with blue hair?" Y/n: "He's pathetic." Harry: "He was a murderer." Lucius: "Yes, a pity about your parents. Curious that you should escape with a mere flesh wound. You escaped with nothing-" Y/n: "I punched him in the face with an energy blast as a one-year-old. He wouldn't even touch me last year with Quirellmort." Lucius: "Quirellmort?" Y/n: "Voldemort was on the back of Quirrell's head." Lucius: "Curious, too, that you speak of him in the past. Surely, you don't think He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is gone forever." Regulus: "Of course not. He has several Horcruxes that need to be destroyed first." Lucius: "What? How-" Regulus: "How do you think I almost died?" Harry: "His name is Voldemort." Those within earshot gasp as Harry utters the word. Lucius: "You must be very brave, Mr. Potter, to dare speak his name. Or foolish." Y/n: "No. It would be foolish to call Lord Voldemort his original birth name. Tom Marvolo Riddle." Lucius's eyes widen. Y/n: "What? Did you just realize you've been following a half-blood while claiming blood supremacy?" Lucius: "You're a fool and idiot." Y/n: "Voldemort won't let his followers touch me why would he even try? He knows I would disintegrate him without a second thought." Hermione: "Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself." Lucius Malfoy's eyes slide and find Hermione staring defiantly. Lucius: "You must be Miss Granger. Draco's told me all about you... and your parents. Muggles, aren't you?" Y/n: "Don't say it like that." Adrian: "You make it sound like he has a crush on her." Mr. and Mrs. Granger nod nervously. Lucius Malfoy can barely disguise his distaste for them. Y/n: "I'm going to smack him." Regulus holds Y/n's arm as he pulls her closer. Regulus glares at Malfoy. Regulus: "Get lost before I make you." Arthur Weasley hurries over. Mr. Weasley: "Ron! Harry! It's mad in here. Let's go outside." Lucius: "Well, well, well -- Arthur Weasley." Regulus: "Anything Y/n does I hold no responsibility." Mr. Weasley: (stiffly) "Lucius." Lucius: "Busy time at the Ministry. All those raids. I hope they're paying you overtime. Malfoy reaches into Ginny's cauldron and removes a brand new, copy of A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration. Lucius: "I'm surprised. What's the use of being a disgrace to the name of wizard if they don't even pay you well for it." Mr. Weasley: "We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name of wizard, Lucius." Y/n: "That's where you're wrong, Mr. Malfoy." Lucius: "What?" Y/n: "A good name is better than riches." Draco looks confused. Hermione: "Your good reputation is worth more than money, Draco." Y/n: "Maybe the saying 'Money is the root of all evil' will be easier for Draco to understand." Draco's face is bright red. Adrain: "According to this saying, all immorality and wickedness are caused by money. This saying is a misquotation, and the original version ("the love of money is the root of all evil") implies that all immorality and wickedness are caused by people loving money, not by money itself." Y/n: "Maybe 'Money isn't everything?" Draco: "I d-don't know." Cedric: "There are other important things in this world, not just money." Hermione: "Riches have wings?" Draco stares. Y/n: "Money can disappear easily. Money is like a bird with wings: it can fly away if you are not careful." Cedric: "The best things in life are free." Draco: "I would expect something like that from a Hufflepuff." Y/n: "We don't have to pay for the things that are valuable, like love, friendship, and good health." Adrain: "The rich know not who is his friend?" Draco: "What?!" Y/n: "When you have money, you don't know if people are friendly with you because they like you, or because they like your money. The structure of this saying is difficult. In normal English, it would be something like: "Rich people do not know who their friends are." Draco: "Then how do you know Diggor-" Y/n: "The Diggory, Pucey, and Potter families are in the top ten richest and most powerful families." Cedric: "We're friends. How else would I have regeneration." Adrian: "And I have telekinesis." Y/n: "You two are awesome." Lucius: (glancing at the Grangers) "Clearly. The company you keep, Weasley. And I thought your family could sink no lower." Y/n slugs Lucius Malfoy in the face. Regulus laughs. Draco looks scared. Y/n: "Scram Malfoy!" Regulus goes to grab Y/n. Hagrid steps forward and puts a firm hand on Arthur Weasley's shoulder. Hagrid: "Ignore 'im, Mr. Weasley." Regulus: "I think he was. Y/n slugged him in the face. I was going to grab her before she beats the shit out of him." Mr. Weasley backs away. Lucius Malfoy tosses Ginny's textbook back into her cauldron. Lucius: "Here, girl. Take your book. It's the best your father can give you." Lucius and Draco go to the exit. Y/n sends a huge energy wave at them and it causes them to fall on their butts and is tossed out of the door and on their butts. They look down and see specks of Sapphire around them. Y/n: "I feel good." Hagrid looks at the Weasleys. Hagrid: "No Malfoy's worth listenin' ter. Rotten ter the core, the whole family..." Y/n: "No." Hagrid: "Huh?" Y/n: "Draco isn't rotten. Not yet. Spoiled maybe but not rotten. Draco is being raised by a bigot. I can only hope Narcissa grows a spine and teaches Draco right." Harry watches Draco and his father go.
