Y/N arrived in Diagon Alley and looked for Harry, splitting off from the Weasley group to search for his brother. As he pushed through the crowds, Y/N spotted a familiar girl with bushy brown hair and a book under her arms. Y/N walked up and tapped Hermione on the shoulder.

"Hello there." Y/N said with a smirk as Hermione turned and looked at him.

"Y/N! Oh, it's so good to see you." Hermione greeted with a beaming smile.

"You too Hermione." Y/N said. "Have you seen Harry by the way? He used the wrong floo chute." 

Harry jumped out in front of Y/N and jump-scared him, out of reflex Y/N accidentally pushed him away with the force, when he realised what happened Y/N began frantically apologizing. 

"Harry, I'm so sorry-"

"No, it was my fault for scaring you like that." Harry said as they shook hands Hermione saw Harry's glasses were broken...again.

"One moment, Oculus Repairo." Hermione said, fixing Harry's glasses.

"Thanks, I'll have to remember that one." Harry said.

Hermione lead to Flourish and Blotts book shop. They all pushed their way through the book store to meet up with their families, with Harry joining the Weasleys.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart." An announcer said as Y/N looked to see Hermione and her parents had been shoved next to him by a reporter looking for a scoop.

Lockhart appeared from behind a curtain and began to flash a smile at everyone, specifically the women, he saw Hermione and winked at her, Hermione blushed as Y/N just turned to Ron and Harry.

"What a tit." Y/N remarked to himself, Harry and Ron turning to him and nodding in agreement with his statement.

Lockhart was posing for photos when he spotted Harry and Y/N in the crowd.

"It can't be...Harry and Y/N Potter?" Lockhart said to himself as Y/N and Harry were dragged to the front and stood next to Lockhart. "Nice big smiles you two, together you boys and I rate the front page."

Y/N had an annoyed look on his face as the camera flashed bright enough to nearly blind him.

"Thank god no one here's got photosensitive epilepsy, this prat with the camera would be giving us all seizures by now." Y/N remarked as the reporter seemed to get the message stepped back.

"What an extraordinary moment this is, when young Harry and Y/N stepped into Flourish and Blotts this morning to purchase my autobiography, magical me..." Lockhart said as the crowd began to applaud. "Which incidentally, is currently celebrating its 27th week atop the Daily Prophet bestseller list, they had no idea, that they would in fact be leaving...with my entire collection...free of charge."

Another camera flash went off and Y/N had to look away from it. When Y/N looked back at the cameraman it was with a glare to rival Hermione. The cameraman slinked out of the shop. As Y/N and Harry re-joined the Weasleys, Molly took their books to get them signed, Y/N and Harry were heading to the shop exit when Draco Malfoy's voice hissed at them from the stairs next to them.

"Bet you both loved that didn't you, famous Harry Potter and Y/N Potter, can't even go to a book shop without making the front page!" Draco spat as Ginny stepped up.

"Leave him alone." Ginny growled.

"Oh, look Potter, you've got yourself a girlfriend." Draco mocked as a snake headed cane landed on Draco's shoulder.

"Now, now, Draco. Play nicely." the owner of the cane said, he was a middle aged man with long white hair and an accent that fit the 'British villain' stereotype perfectly. "Mr. Potter and Mr. Potter, Lucius Malfoy. We meet at last."

Lucius offered his hand to Harry, when Potter accepted out of good manners, Lucius pulled him closer and used his cane to move Harry's fringe to inspect his scar.

"Forgive me. Your scar is legend, as, of course is the wizard who gave it to you."

"Voldemort killed mine and Y/N's parents. He was nothing more than a murderer." Harry said as Y/N patted him on the back to reassure him.

"Hm, you must be very brave to mention his name, or very foolish." Lucius stated as Hermione arrived.

"Fear of a name, only increases fear of the thing itself." Hermione said as Y/N looked to her and smiled.

"And you must be Miss Granger. Yes Draco's told me all about you and your parents. Muggles, aren't they?" Lucius said earning a glare from Y/N and Hermione, Y/N could see where this was heading and he didn't like it, even if it wasn't Hermione, he wouldn't like it.

"That must be the infamous Malfoy race supremacism, it's mindsets like yours that led to the purge. Hermione's twice as skilled as you or your idiot son could dream of being, next time you try to insult her because of her muggle heritage, Jedi code or no, I'll spark you and your prat of a son out cold, you think on that." Y/N said as he got up in the faces of both Malfoys, Arthur Weasley got between them.

"Children, it's mad in here, let's go outside." Arthur said.

"Weasley senior..."

"Lucius."

"Busy time at the ministry, Arthur, all those extra raids? I do hop they're paying you overtime, but judging by the state of this..." Lucius took a book from Ginny's cauldron and inspected it. "I'd say not. What's the use in being a disgrace to the name of wizard, if they're not even paying you well for it?"

"We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy." Arthur said, clenching his hands into fists.

"Clearly." Lucius hissed. "Associating with Muggles...and I thought your family could sink no lower."

Lucius put the book back in Ginny's cauldron along with another book as he got in Arthurs face. Y/N moved his hand slightly and Lucius was forced to step aside to let everyone else past, Y/N passed Draco and glared at him.

The next day when everyone had their trunks packed the two families met up at Kings Cross station. One by one the Weasley's rushed through the wall and onto platform 9 3/4. Then Hermione and then Y/N. Leaving Ron and Harry to come through last. As Y/N and Hermione gave their luggage to the handlers they grew concerned about where Harry and Ron where.

"We must have just not seen them or something, they're probably on the train." Hermione said as Y/N nodded and followed her through the train looking for Harry and Ron but they were nowhere to be seen. Eventually after another hour of searching, Y/N and Hermione found an empty cabin and sat inside, with Y/N lying on the bench with a spell book while Hermione was sat on the other bench reading one of Lockharts books. Every now and then Hermione would tell Y/N a fact about Lockhart, normally he didn't mind Hermione telling him little facts as she went through her books, but this was getting on his tits, something had to be said.

"Y/N, here's one. 'The people of Coruscant are amazing people, their ability to smile when all they want to do is scream is a lesson to all of us.'" Hermione said reading a quote from the book, she looked up to Y/N who gave a false smile and Hermione caught on to his joke. 

Regardless they did talk and she didn't take offence at Y/N's joke, she managed to find it amusing how quick on the draw Y/N was with jokes, Hermione made a note not to overdo talking about Lockhart as they carried on with their train ride to Hogwarts, like normal apart from constantly wondering where Harry and Ron were...
