Hermione and Harriet were at Gringotts looking for Harry, they figured he'd need money and this is where you getting from. "Harry!" Hermione yelled and grabbed Harriet's arm, running towards Harry. "Hello, Hagrid! Oh, it's wonderful to see you two again." Hermione looks over to Harry and when she sees his broken glasses she pointed her wand at the glasses and said, "Oculus reparo." And the glasses were fixed.

"I need to remember that one." Harry said to himself.

"Come in, everyone's been worried." Hermione said walking into Gringotts. As they were walking in Mr. Weasley was asking me. Granger about his job, being a dentist, and how people feared him.

"Harry, thank goodness you're alright! We were just headed to Flourish and Blotts." Mrs. Weasley said.

"Isn't it thrilling? Gilderoy
Lockhart is going to be there!" Hermione exclaimed leaving with Mrs. Weasley, "we actually get to meet him!"

They walk into Flourish and Blotts and see Lockhart, he sees Harry and makes him take a picture together saying something about Harry getting all his books free of charge. Harry's face was so red because he was embarrassed. A stack of books was thrusted into his arms, "thank you." He mumbled before going back into the crowd and giving Ginny, the youngest Weasley, the books. "You take these. I'll buy my own."

"Bet you loved that, didn't you, Potter? Famous Harry Potter! Can't even go into a bookstore with out making the front page." Draco Malfoy sneered.

"Leave him alone! He didn't want all that!" Ginny defended him.

"Look, Potter. You've got yourself a girlfriend." Draco said.

"Silence, Draco! Ah... Mr. Potter, I don't believe we've met." Lucius Malfoy reached his hand out and moved some of Harry's hair to see the scar. Harry flinched ever so slightly. "Forgive me, Mr. Potter, your scar is legendary. As, of course, is the wizard who to gave it to you."

"He was a murderer."

"Yes, a pity about your parents. Curious that you yourself should escape with a mere flesh wound. Curious, too, that you speak of him in the past. Surely, you
don't think He-Who-Must-Not- Be-Named is gone forever." Lucius said.

"His name is Voldemort." Harry replied and everyone that heard him gasped.

"You must be very brave to speak that name... Or very foolish." Lucius told him.

"Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself." Hermione stated, staring into Lucius' eyes defiantly as he glances over at her.

"You must be Miss Granger. Draco's told me all about you... and your parents. Muggles, aren't you?" Mr. and Mrs. Granger nod nervously. Lucius Malfoy can barely disguise his distaste for them. Harriet had tuned him out if she listened to him she would surely try to hit him, she didn't need the trouble that would come with hitting him. She looked around the shop instead and saw Draco Malfoy rip out a page of a book. She walked over to the book, with out anyone seeing her, and saw that it was a book about reptiles. Before she could open the book, Hermione told her that they were about to leave and needed to check out.

Arthur Weasley ruses over there, "Ron, Harry! It's mad in here. Let's go outside."

"Well, well, well Arthur Weasley. Busy time at the Ministry. All those raids. I hope they're paying you overtime." Malfoy reaches into Ginny's cauldron, removes a very old, battered copy of A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration. "Obviously not. Dear me. What's the use of being a disgrace to the name of wizards if they don't even pay you well for it."

"We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name of a wizard Lucius." Arthur replies with.

Lucius glaces over at the Grangers, "clearly. The company you keep, I thought you're family could sink no lower, Weasley."

Mr. Weasley goes to punch him but Hagrid stops him before he can do it.

"Ignore 'im, Arthur." Mr. Weasley backs up and Malfoy senior puts the book back in Ginny's cauldron. Then left with Draco. "No Malfoy's worth listening to. Rotten to the core, the whole family."

It was time for them to board the Hogwarts train, Hermione and Harriet got on the train 10 minutes early so they weren't too worried that Harry and Ron weren't on the train yet. A very strange blonde came into the compartment, "can I sit with you? I like this compartment, not many nargles in here."

"Um... Yeah sure. I'm Harriet, this is Hermione." Harriet responded with a weary tone.

"Thank you! I'm Luna Lovegood." She told them with a dreamy voice.

"What is a nargle? I'm not aware of that animal." Hermione asked.

Ginny joined them on the train and the girls all talked, Hermione got kinda annoyed with Luna because she believed in very strange animals but Harriet and Ginny liked her.
