Harry's POV

After a few days at Diagon Alley I had decided to go exploring and to take another look at the Firebolt, but my plans changed when I heard a loud booming voice call out to me. "Harry, Harry!" I looked around for the source of the voice but couldn't find it in the crowds.

(Y/N) seemed to get frustrated at this, he stood up and started waving at me frantically when I saw him, he had an ice-cream in his hand and his cat Bones on his shoulder, "Over here you plum!" he called, as I jogged over to him I saw he was sat with both Ron and Hermione, each of them eating ice-cream.

"Finally!" said Ron, grinning at me as I sat down. "We went to the Leaky Cauldron, but they said you'd left, and we went to Flourish and Blotts, and Madam Malkin's, and-" "He doesn't need a play by play Ron" (Y/N) interrupted, Ron just looked at him confused.

"I got all my school stuff last week," I explained. "And how come you knew I'm staying at the Leaky Cauldron?" "Dad," said Ron simply. Mr. Weasley, who worked at the Ministry of Magic, would of course have heard the whole story of what had happened to Aunt Marge.

"Did you really blow up your aunt, Harry?" said Hermione in a very serious voice. "I didn't mean to," I defended, remembering my incident at Privet Drive. (Y/N) and Ron roared with laughter. "I just- lost control." I stammered "Brilliant" said (Y/N).

"It's not funny" said Hermione sharply as she glared at (Y/N) who was wiping tears from his eyes. "Your dad doesn't know why Fudge let me off, does he?" I asked Ron "Mum said it's probably because it's you" said (Y/N) still chuckling.

"Yeah, famous Harry Potter and all that. I'd hate to see what the Ministry'd do to me if I blew up an aunt. Mind you, they'd have to dig me up first, because Mum would've killed me." confirmed Ron

(Y/N) nodded "All my aunts are muggles I think, if I blew one up mum would probably put me in Azkaban herself." He shuddered. "Anyway, you can ask Dad yourself this evening. We're staying at the Leaky Cauldron tonight too! So you can come to King's Cross with us tomorrow! Hermione's there as well!"

Hermione nodded, beaming. "Mum and Dad dropped me off this morning with all my Hogwarts things." I looked at (Y/N) who looked a little downtrodden when he explained, "Me too, they are still here though, mums somewhere inside arguing with dad."

"I'd love to meet him" I said politely, but that wasn't entirely true, remembering my odd encounter with (Y/N)'s mother a year prior, I wasn't sure I could handle it. Luckily Ron changed the subject.

"So, have you got all your new books and stuff?" I nodded "Look at this," said Ron, pulling a long thin box out of a bag and opening it. "Brand-new wand. Fourteen inches, willow, containing one unicorn tail-hair. And we've got all our books" He pointed at a large bag under his chair.

"What about those Monster Books, eh? The assistant nearly cried when we said we wanted three, (Y/N) even had to help the poor bloke." I looked over at (Y/N) who had some plasters on his hands. But seemed to be looking the monster book over with interest.

"I think they are cool, kind of cute in a way, right Harry?" said (Y/N), I just nodded awkwardly. "What's all that, Hermione?" I asked, pointing at not one, but three bulging bags in the chair next to her. 

"Well, I'm taking more new subjects than you, aren't I," said Hermione. "Those are my books for Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, the Study of Ancient Runes, Muggle Studies-"

"What are you doing Muggle Studies for?" said Ron, rolling his eyes. "You're Muggleborn! Your mum and dad are Muggles! You already know all about Muggles!" "But it'll be fascinating to study them from the wizarding point of view," said Hermione earnestly.
