Chapter 2: Diagon Alley

"Oi get up (N/n)!"

(Y/n) rolled over in his bed and opened his eyes slowly. He briefly saw Richie walking out of his room.

(Y/n) sat up, rubbed his eyes and reached for his new glasses next to his bed. Over the summer he had found that he needed glasses, not that (Y/n) minded much.

After that he hastily, and rather sloppily, got dressed. Since the end of the school year (Y/n) had grown taller, having over taken Richie a while ago and catching up to his older brother Ben.

"Morning dad" (Y/n) yawned as he walked down the stairs. His dad had changed slightly since his first year at Hogwarts. His (H/c) hair was now spotted with a couple of white and grey hairs here and there, and his face looked more tired and older.

"Morning (N/n). Today's the day you want to go to Diagon Alley Yeah?" His dad asked him not looking up from the prophet.

"Well then you better get Richie and Rose, I want to get going early, I've got a lot of work to do."

"What about Ben?" (Y/n) asked still groggy

"He's decided not to come this year." His dad still hadn't looked up from his paper. (Y/n) saw that on the front cover was a large black and white photo of a crazed looking man.

"What'd you mean?" (Y/n) asked.

"Well I guess he things he's too old for us now." His dad folded up the paper and gave (Y/n) a wide smile. "But that just means he won't ruin our fun. Now go get Rose and Richie."

"Sure thing dad" (Y/n) gave his dad a quick hug and then ran out into the yard. He found Richie under a tree in the backyard reading a book about quidditch.

"Hey how's it Richie?" (Y/n) called to him. "How'd you get here so quickly?" (Y/n) said remembering that Richie had just waken him up.

"Unlike you I don't act like a troll in the mornings" Richie let out a laugh.

"Ah Shaddup I've gotten better marks than you at school" (Y/n) bragged.

"First off my Herbology grade is way better than yours, and the only reason your grades are so good are cause you got Hermione to help you" Richie retorted

(Y/n) hugged his brother. "Why don't you ever tryout for the team Rich?" (Y/n) asked him.

"Well there were no open spots last year, and given what happened at the end of last year I doubt they'll let me on the team anyway" Richie said looking downtrodden.

"Yeah well what'd you expect, necropsy and all that."

Richie stared at him bewildered, then said with a laugh "(Y/n) I think you mean nepotism"

"Shaddup you knew you what I meant." (Y/n) said to Richie. "Prick" he muttered under his breath. Richie punched him in the arm.

"Come on we're off to Diagon Alley." (Y/n) said walking away from him.

"Great I can finally look at the new brooms." Richie said happily as he ran after (Y/n).

"You know where Rose is?" Richie asked as he caught up with (Y/n).

"Dunno probably writing some love letters to Marc." The two of them found her in her room, writing something.

"Oooh you writing a letter to your boyfriend huh?" (Y/n) teased her. She jumped up and quickly hid the letter.

"No I'm just doing some homework" she replied quickly "what are you two doing in my room anyway?"

"Dad's looking for you we're going to Diagon Alley!" Richie said excitedly. Rose rolled her eyes.

"You're just gonna spend the whole time look at that broom, the lightningbolt or whatever it's called."

"The firebolt" Richie corrected her "and it's a lot better than spending all your time writing love letter." Richie put on a mock high pitch voice.

"Dear Marc, it has been only three days since your last letter, yet I am missing you already. I love you and can't wait to see you. Love your Rose"

Richie and (Y/n) burst out laughing and Rose's face turned red "You want me ta hex you again Richard?" She said pulling out her wand "you really seemed to enjoy the sardines"

Richie fell silent, causing (Y/n) to laugh louder. "Come on Rose dad says he's got a lot of work to do"

(Y/n) packed his bag as he had chosen to stay at the Leaky Cauldron along with Hermione and Ron.

(Y/n) had hardly opened the door to the Leaky Cauldron when a mass of bushy brown hair attacked him.

"(Y/N)!" Hermione shouted as she pulled him into a bear hug. "I've missed you 'Mione, how've you been?" (Y/n) said once he realized that he wasn't being attacked.

"I've missed you too (Y/n). Mum, dad and I only just arrived, and Ron should be arriving soon." Hermione explained.

"What about Harry have you heard from him?"

"No nothing yet. We can ask Ron when he gets here." Hermione and (Y/n) sat at a table for a bit talking and catching up. After a while they entered Diagon Alley and idly walked through the street looking into store windows and buying the required supplies for their upcoming school year.

"You want some help Hermione?" (Y/n) asked as he took a few of her many bags. "How many subjects are you taking this year?"

"Well there's Divination, Arithmancy, Care for magic creatures, the study of ancient runes, and muggle studies." She listed off her classes.

"That sounds interesting, I wish I had taken muggle studies it'd cool to learn from the magical worlds view." Hermione nodded agreeing with him.

"Hey Hermione, (Y/n)! Over here!" Called a voice behind them. (Y/n) turned around a saw a bright red head a few feet away sitting at a table outside the ice cream shop.

"Course he's at the ice cream shop, where else would he be?" (Y/n) muttered to Hermione, who let out a giggle and then hit his arm.

"Hey Ronnie how's it going?" Ron rolled his eyes and turned to Hermione.

"Have you seen Harry yet? I've been looking all over for him."

"Is he not in the Leaky Cauldron? What about Flourish and Blots?"

"Come on Hermione, this is Harry we're talking about, he wouldn't be seen dead in a book shop. Did you check that quidditch shop?" (Y/n) added.

"Yeah first place I check mate" Ron replied "he's also not in the Cauldron or Ollivanders-"

"Why'd he be in Ollivanders, it's not like he was dumb enough to break his wand." (Y/n) cut Ron off.

"Shaddup" Ron's face went bright red.

"Harry over here!" Hermione called suddenly. (Y/n) watched as Harry looked around trying to find how called him.

"Bloody hell how thick is he?" (Y/n) said to the other two, to which Ron burst out laughing and Hermione gave (Y/n) a stern look.

"Oi over 'ere you troll!" (Y/n) shouted standing up and waving his hands towards Harry, who finally saw them. A group of particularly large wizards turned towards (Y/n) and glared at him.

"Sorry no offense." He then added quickly "I mean not that you guys look like trolls or anything, I mean I'm sorry maybe you guys are just troll supports or something like that, I'm not implying that you guys are as dumb as trolls. I mean not that trolls are dumb you know, just a figure of speech, I mean you guys could be really intelligent trolls. Not that other trolls aren't but..." his voice trailed off as the group of men kept glaring at him.

"Oh boy" he said under his breath rubbing the back of his neck. "He doesn't mean any harm" Hermione piped up "he's not trying to offend anyone, he's just an idiot."

The group of men started to walk away. "I'm really sorry!" (Y/n) called after them. Ron and Harry were doubled over in laughter.

"Thanks 'Mione." (Y/n) muttered to her. "Honestly (N/n) how'd you ever survive without me?"
