Forgotten (Harry Potter next generation fanfic)

Chapter 15: Bookstore and News

Scorpius ended up spending the night in one of the guest rooms and I got him up early for breakfast, which he wasn't so pleased on how he woke up.
I looked up from my eggs and saw him glaring at me with his dripping wet hair, I bit my lip and made him blush before I looked down.
He seemed to blush everyone I did that but what can I say except it was a habit of mine.

30 minutes ago
I quietly walked into the room Scorpius was sleeping in with a bucket of ice cold water. He was sleeping very peacefully and was lightly snoring. It seemed almost cruel to do this but I was willing to pay the price.
With a big smile I threw the water on him and yelled.
"RISE AND SUN!"
He jolted awake in his now soaking wet pajamas and pulled the covers off as I ran. I heard his feet chasing after me before he was sliding on some good on the floor and rammed right into some clear foil wrap.
I fell onto the ground in laughter and I didn't notice that he was slowly crawling over to me until he smeared some goo in my face and I gasped.
He smirked and I pushed him down to where I was on top of him and smeared some goo all over his face.
"Well we can both be gooey beauties together." Scorp commented making me bit my lip and blush. He blushed as well and we got up and started into a fit of laughter.
Flashback Ends.

I chuckled to myself as the house elves got our plates and cleaned the table as I grabbed a nearby shoulder purse and stood next to the door. Scorpius sighed and looked for my other siblings.
"Aren't the others coming too?"
I shook my head and looked to see if I had everything ready.
"They did all their shopping last week, I wanted to wait a week before school or that I wouldn't get caught up in the crowds like I did my first year." I informed making him nod in understanding.
I looked up and sighed.
"Ready?" I asked making him smile.
"Yep." He replied making sure to "pop" the p. I took his hand and walked inside our fireplace as he grabbed a handful of Floo Powder and we stared straight ahead.
"Diagon Alley!" He said with confidence and I watched as several fireplaces flew past us until we were flung out of one and I looked up with a smile realizing that we were in one of my favorite places.
It was slightly crowded but not as much, which made me feel relieved.
I immediately pulled out our supply list and looked at it with furrowed brows.
"Well these books are going to be expensive, but I'm sure we'll manage. Come on." I informed before dragging Scorpius by the arm towards Gringotts. It was a good thing I sent a letter to his father last night stating that Scorp would need his vault key for today.
We quietly passed by the hard workings goblins and towards where the front desk was.
"We would like to enter our vaults." I stated as the goblin at the desk peered down at me with a freaky grin.
"And do you have your keys?" The goblins voice croaked.
I nodded and handed him two keys, the Black Family Key and the Malfoy Family Key.
"Very well then, follow me please."
                              
                               ~*~

"I hate those carts." I admitted as I fixed my hair while Scorpius was holding his stomach and nodded at my statement.
"I can agree with that."
I suddenly felt my phone, a popular muggle technology that dad got me as my welcome home gift from last year, started to vibrate and i fumbled around in my purse until I got ahold of it and pressed the green button and put it to my ear.
"Hello?"
"Anna it's mummy!"
I felt my smile grow as I heard my mother's voice. I haven't seen her for the past two weeks.
"Mum! I've missed you-"
"I know and I have missed you too darling. But I'm afraid I have some...upsetting news."
I chuckled fakely and felt my smild faltering.
"Okay, what is wrong?"
"Your father and I won't be able to make it home in time to see you off for school."
My smile disappeared and I felt tears threatening to spill at the news.
"Anna?"
I blinked away the tears and faked a smile.
"Okay. It's fine."
"We love you Anna. I'll send you a letter as soon as we return. Wait what?"
Mum seemed to be talking to another person because she quit talking to me for a short moment before I heard her sigh.
"Mummy loves you Anna darling."
"I love you too." I replied.
"Sweet dreams baby girl."
I stayed quiet as I heard her hang up and I looked down at the phone before placing if in my purse.
Scorpius placed a hand on my shoulder and gave me a small smile.
"You okay?"
I nodded with a smile, trying to convince him.
"Yeah. I'm fine, let's go get our books first." I stated before we gave each other a small look and walked towards the bookshop.
"So what do we need?" He asked as we entered the shop.
"Um...we need 'The Standard Book of Spells, grade 3', 'Intermediate Transfiguration', 'The Essential Defense Against the Dark Arts'..." I trailed off as I looked at our lists. I noticed that he was taking Care of Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies.
I looked at him with a smile.
"What?"
"You're taking Muggle Studies?"
He shrugged and blushed slightly.
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
I shook my head and circled the books he needed before handing it to him.
"No, I'm proud of you."
We went our separate ways to get the necessary books we needed before we meet up at the front with an armful of books each. We set them down on the counter and I looked over the list with a frown.
"Hey Scorp, did you find 'The Monster Book Monsters' by any chance?" He shook his head and looked at his list and counted his books.
"No I didn't and that is the book I need. I have everything else eight here."
We heard a small squel and saw a man staring at us in horror. His clothes were torn up and he looked exhausted.
"Did you say the Monster Books?"
He asked and we both nodded.
"R-Right away."
He went to the back and I heard some growls before I saw parts of torn clothing from the backdoor and I heard what seemed to be the cussing of the man. He returned with two of the books with a frown.
"80 galleons ma'am, sir."
Scorp and I immediately handed him the necessary amount and grabbed our books before heading out.
"That poor old man." I stated looked inside my bag at the monster book. Scorp just laughed and nodded.
I saw the Broom shop and gasped before grabbing his arm and running towards the shop.
"Anna you know I don't like quidditch why bring me into a quidditch shop." He complained as we entered.
"Because I love quidditch and I want to try out this year." I informed as he sighed and slumped his shoulders.
My eyes landed on the Firebolt, which was currently the fastest broom in the world. My eyes scanned over its ebony wood structure and it's sleek twig ends that gave it a beautiful look.
"It's so beautiful!" I exclaimed in wonder.
"Um. Yeah it sure is." I glared at Scorp from the corner of my eyes before heading to look at some gloves and more stuff.
We ended up spending an entire hour in the shop and I purchased some leather black gloves with green at the tips and latch, green sturdy goggles, a broomstick kit and finally a few books on quidditch.
"Never again. Next time take Belle with you." He said and looked at me as I rolled my eyes.
"I will. She told me she is wanting to try out as well."
"Really what position?"
"She wants to be either a keeper or a chaser with me." I informed as he nodded.
"Anything else we need to get?"
I sighed heavily as I pointed to a small shop.
"We both need more quills, ink, parchment." He agreed and went on one section of the shop to grab us some quills while I got some ink.
There was the colorful kind, the sparkling kind. Ugh
The regular kind and...
No way.
Ink that disappears!?
I immediately grabbed two bottles and three bottles of the regular ink before meeting Scorp at the front.
He looked at the pile and then at me.
"Is that disappearing Ink." He asked and I nodded in excitement.
"It sure is."
We handed the needed galleons to the owner and left.
Scorp led me over to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, my favorite place besides the quidditch and book shop in Diagon Alley.
"Did you know that the original owner and creator of this place disappeared in 1996?" Scorp informed as I was handed my signature ice cream.
"No I didn't know that. Why?" I asked with a frown as Scorpius received his strawberry vanilla and carmel ice cream.
"I don't know why he disappeared all I know is that he disappeared in 1996." I smiled at him gave my ice cream another lick.
"Is that stuff good?"
I nearly choked on the ice cream in my mouth before I stared wide-eyed at him.
"Is it good? Is it good!? Yes it is freaking the best thing every!" I exclaimed as he seemed to not believe me. I sighed and took a spoon of my dessert and held it up to him.
"Open." I told him and he open his mouth as I put the spoon of ice cream in his mouth. He closed it and savored the taste before his eyes grew wide in excitement.
" Tha' is o wood!" He exclaimed with a mouthful making me laugh at him as he glared at me.
"You mean 'that is so good'?" I corrected as he nodded and took another spoonful of my ice cream.
"Hey!" I exclaimed as I glared at him and pulled my dessert to me and away from him. He looked at me and shrugged with a smirk.
"This is my ice cream! Eat your own."
We both burst out laughing which earned us some looks from passing customers.
Once we were finished I linked my arm through his without any thought of it as we walked around.
"This was a good day!" I announced making Scorp smile and agree.
"Yep. Next time we should invite the others with us."
"Most definitely!"
We laughed before heading to one of the nearby fireplaces. I grabbed a handful of the Floo Powder and smiled at my friend.
"Black Mansion!"
