New Beginnings

Chapter 30

Harry and Draco split off from the adults who didn't say a word. The purple and orange decor was a little assaulting.

The Alleys new joke shop, Weaselys Wizards Wheezes, seemed to dominate their vision even as they walked in. Thankfully none of the people inside could recognise them, not with the glamours.

Harry couldn't help but beam up at the shop, fireworks fizzing overhead whilst a thousand different displays filled the senses. There were love potions and puking pastilles, every experimental prank Harry had seen (or tested in a few cases). It was amazing.

Upstairs he heard yelling only to see Fred and George themselves showing off random products in matching orange and purple suits.

"Amazing. How did they do all this?" Draco muttered, eyes wide and reflecting the myriad of sparking products.

As he spoke Harry remembered the day he gave the twins his Triwizard money, "I have an idea."

Next to him Draco whipped round to stare at him, but Harry was already moving towards something. He kept pace with Harry, suddenly spotting Ginny across the room and found her by the love potions to his horror. He could only imagine what she'd do with  them.

Draco glanced back up to the twins who seemed to watch her in disdain, before their mother started a low (and not friendly looking) conversation.

"Did you see that?" Harry's eyes were wide, staring at Ginny. "She stole a love potion."

They watched her slip away, to a more innocent part of the store but no one else had noticed. With everything in the store dominating people's vision, Ginny quickly sneak a small bottle into her coat pocket.

"Harry what's wrong?" Draco didn't like Harry's reaction, he looked terrified and it was rare now to see Harry like that.

"Arthur and Dumbledore made a marriage contract between us. I'm willing to bet that she'd do anything to make sure we get married."  though he was expressionless, his eyes were filled with fear. "Even drug me."

"She's not getting anywhere near you, I swear it." Draco pulled Harry closer to him, as Molly stormed passed them and out the shop.

Above them the twins scowl down at their family, only to spot them and visibly startle. Draco opened his mouth to question it but ended up being forcibly apparated into the shops back room, with the twins glaring at them worriedly.

"Why are you here?!" Fred whisper-shrieked, eyes locked on the doorway whilst George used every privacy charm he knew to secure the room.

"I have no idea who you are, so why don't you just let us leave?" Harry lied effortlessly, so much so the twins had to simultaneously double take.

"Quit it Harry, we know it's you and Malfoy."

Draco rolled his eyes but undid the glamours anyways, letting Harry covertly slip on the Potter glamour. "How did you know it was us?"

"Bill got us these." George showed off a simply silver chain necklace, easily hidden by their suits.

"They use them at Gringotts, let's us see through glamours." Feed finished, lips pressed into a thin line.
