Annabelle [Book 4]

5.

The next day we went to Diagon Alley for school supplies and were currently in Fred and George's jokes shop.

I stood with Hermione and Ginny by the love potions.

"Hello, ladies." Fred and George say at the same time.

"Love potions, eh?" Fred says.

"Yeah, they really do work." George assured us. His eyes met mine. "i don't see you needing it. You already have my heart." He told me with a grin as I blushed. Hermione and Ginny 'awed.' I shot them a glare. The girls just laughed at me as I shook my head. My eyes glanced over to the most adorable things. I ran over to it and picked one up.

"Aw what is it?" I asked the twins.

"Pygmy Puffs." They answered in unison.

"How much?" I asked looking up at them. They grinned at me.

"You malady have a 100 percent off discount here at our shop." My eyes went wide.

"Really? Are you sure?" I asked them. They just nodded as Ron came over to us.

"How much for this?" Ron asked them.

"5 Galleons." They responded.

"How much for me?"

"5 Galleons." They said again.

"I'm your brother."

"10 galleons." I lightly chuckled as they walk away. Ron grumbled something under his breath.

"Come on let's go." Ron said to us. I shook my head.

"I'll catch up with you guys later." I said.

"Are you sure?" Hermione asked. I smiled and nodded.

I sat on the Hogwarts express petting my pink pygmy puff. I was happy to be able to say goodbye to Uncle Remus and Tonks. And of course Fred and George. Unfortunately I couldn't see mum at St. Mungo's before I left.

"So, what was Draco doing with that weird-looking cabinet? And who were all those people?" Ron asked. Considering I wasn't there I have no idea what they're talking about.

"Don't you see? It was a ceremony, an initiation." Harry stated.

"Stop it, Harry. I know where you're going wit this." Hermione said, looking from me to Harry.

"It happened. He's one of them." He stated.

I snorted. He threw me a look.

"A what" Ron asked stupidly. I rolled my eyes before crossing my arms.

"Harry believes that Draco is a Death Eater." I told him. "And he's bloody mad for thinking it."

"You're barking. What would You-Know-Who want with Malfoy?" Ron asked.

"Well, then what's he doing in Borgin and Burke's? Browsing for furniture?" Harry rhetorically asked.

"It's a creepy shop. He's a creepy bloke." Ron responded.

"Look, his father is a Death Eater. It only makes sense." Harry stated.

"Oh, Harry stop it. Just because you hate Draco doesn't mean-" Harry cut me off.

"Are you daft or just plain stupid?"

"Harry" Ron and Hermione exclaimed. I huffed before standing. I slid open the door. I spun around throwing him a glare.

"You're really starting to get on my bad side Potter. I'd watch it if I were you." I warned him before heading further down the train with my pygmy puff.

I ended up up bumping into somebody.

"Draco." I said in slight shock. He looked paler since the last time I've seen him.

"Annabelle." He said stiffly. "Why aren't you sitting with your little friends?" He questioned.

"Because I fear I would be expelled for hexing Potter if I stayed with them much longer." I told him. e cracked a slight smile.

"Fighting with Potter? What he do?"He asked. I sighed.

"It doesn't matter."I brushed it off.

"I assume you don't have anywhere to sit, am I wrong?" 

"No." I told him.

"Why don't you come sit with me and the others?" 

I contemplated it for a moment before shrugging.

"Why not?" He grabbed my arm, not tightly though and led me to the others. Crabbe and Goyle satin one booth and then there was one with Parkinson and Zabini.

I felt slightly uncomfortable as Draco told me to slide in first. Which I did and he sat next to me...well after that black smoke went off.
