The Girl Who Disappeared (Harry Potter Fan-fiction)

*Chapter 18*

She appeared in Diagon Alley, where she sees all the other Hogwarts students buying their supplies. A few moments later Ron arrived.

"Ron! Over here." Maurelle yelled.

Ron turned to Maurelle and his eyes lit up, relieved to see her.

"Where is Harry?" she asked.

"He was supposed to be here, after me," Ron said.

"Oh no. You think he must've said it wrong?" Maurelle said.

"He might've." Ron said.

"Go on without me, I think I know where he might've went." Maurelle said.

She hurried her way down the alley and found Harry with Hagrid.

"Don't tell me you ended up in the back skirts of this alley?" Maurelle said as she hugged him, all worried.

"Yeah I did. Luckily, Hagrid found me" Harrys said.

Maurelle then gave Hagrid a hug, " It's nice to see you Hagrid."

"It's nice to see you too, Maurelle." He gently patted her back.

"Harry! Maurelle! Hagrid!" Hermione yelled.

"Hello, Hermione!" Hagrid replied.

"It's so good to see you!" Hermione said.

"It's so great to see you, too!" Maurelle said.

"How have you been?" Harry asked.

"It was nice to take a break for a while, but I do miss being here. Anyways, what did you do to your glasses?" Hermione said. She sighed and said, "Oculus Reparo!" she waved her wand and Harry's glasses were fixed.

"You need to remember that one, Harry" Maurelle said.

"Yes I do." He said.

"Are you two coming into Gringotts?" Hermione said.

"As soon as I've found the Weasley's" Harry said.

"They're around here" said Maurelle.

Sprinting up the crowded streets were Ron, Fred George, Percy, and Arthur.

"Harry" Arthur panted "We hoped you'd only gone one grate too far..." he mopped his glistening bald patch "Molly's frantic — she's coming now –"

"Where did you come out?" Ron asked.

"Knockturn Alley" said Hagrid calmly.

"Excellent" the twins said.

"We've never been allowed in" Ron said enviously

"I should ruddy well think not" growled Hagrid.

Molly now came galloping into view, her handbag swinging wildly in one hand, Ginny clinging onto the other.

"Oh, Harry – oh, my dear – you could have been anywhere—" Molly said

Gasping for breath she pulled large clothes brush out and began sweeping off the soot.

"Well, I'll be off" Hagrid said, who was waving his hand wrung by Molly, " See yer at HOGWARTS!" and he strode away, head and shoulders taller than anyone else in the packed streets.

"Guess who is in Borgin and Burkes?" Harry asked his friends as they climbed the Gringotts steps, "Malfoy and his father"

"Did Lucius Malfoy buy anything?" Arthur said, who was sharply behind them.

"No, he was selling – " Harry said,

"So he's worried" said Arthur with groom satisfaction "Oh I'd love to get Lucius Malfoy for something.."
