Flying through the network Harry's body jolted in different directions. His stomach was doing flips, he felt as if he was going to be sick. Squinting his eyes he saw flashes of fireplaces's zoom by. Landing in one of the places he fell forward face first onto the icy floor. He heard the snap and felt the broken half's of his glasses fall down the bridge of his nose. 

Warily he got up off of the stiff stone floor he took his glasses and held them up to his eyes. He looked around hoping to see someone he knew, but he seemed to be alone looking around at all of the weird displays of the eeriness of the mysterious shop. Looking out of one of the grimy windows he could most definitely tell that he was not in Diagon Alley. Deciding that it would be a good idea to leave he made his way to the door before he made it towards the door he saw someone that he was least expecting to see. Draco Malfoy.

"Maybe he just went one grate too far..." Mr. Weasley pondered as he Fred, George, Brittney, and Percy ran up and down the streets of Diagon Alley. 

"He most likely did. And if he didn't we will find him eventually." Percy said

"Eventually! We need to find him now!" Brittney said "My parents and my brother might not care if he disappear's forever, but I sure as hell do." 

"We'll find him Britt, don't worry too much about it." Fred said

"Look! There he is with Hermione and Hagrid!" George pointed out.

When the rest of them saw Harry they immediately raced in his direction.

"We hoped  you only went one grate too far..." Mr. Wealsey said when they reached Harry "Molly's coming she's been frantic."

"Oh, Harry thank goodness you're alright!" Brittney said as she pulled Harry into a hug. "Don't ever do that again."

"Where'd you come out?" Ron asked curiously 

"Knockturn Alley." Harry said casually

"Excellent!" Fred and George said simultaneously

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

"Well never mind that! Harry are you okay? Knockturn Alley is supposedly a very sketchy place." 

"I'm fine." Harry said as Mrs. Weasley came running that way, with Ginny clinging onto one of her hands 

"Oh Harry, - oh, my dear. You could- have been -anywhere." Mrs. Weasley said panting. 

Grabbing out a large clothes brush out of her bag Mrs. Weasley began to wipe away the soot that had not yet been wiped off by Hagrid. Harry began to tell everyone what had happened when he was down in Knockturn Alley. He explained that Lucius Malfoy was there trying to sell things, Mr. Weasley was questioning Harry about what he was doing when Hermione made her way over with her parents to introduce them. Mr. Weasley became distracted at the sight of them saying that they should have a drink. 

After Gringotts Brittney, Fred, and George found Lee, and they were about to head off to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, when Mrs. Wealsey called after them telling them they will meet in Florish and Blott's in one hour.

As the four sat and ate their ice cream they talked about the pranks the might do this coming term, and how the next year they would be taking their O.W.L's. They were having a blast just talking randomly enjoying each others company, and soon they would be off to Florish and Blott's to buy their books.
