Diagon Alley

As we arrived in Diagon alley as we stood outside Gringotts I glanced around, Hermione stood with her parents a few meters away and I smiled brightly at her. I looked around again "Harrys not here?" I sighed out and the Weasleys went into panic mode. "look me and Mione will go looking for him, well be back in 20 minutes!" I sang as I ran over to the girl and snatched her from her parent's she turned back and waved goodbye to them "where are we going?" she questioned "Harry got lost" I replied and she nodded. We began looking for him after about 20 minutes we stood on the top of Gringotts steps yet again and I spotted him he was with Hagrid and I smiled in relief "there" I said pointing at the boy and Hermione looked "Harry!" she exclaimed before practically jumping down all the stairs I rolled my eyes and walked down after her. I grabbed his wrist "C'mon. Everyone's been so worried" I hissed at him and he just nodded.  We led them into Gringotts where Hermione's parents stood rather nervously with the Weasleys. " So you're dentists! Fascinating!I understand other Muggles quitefear you? Why is that?" Mr Weasley inquired he looked like a small child excitement bubbling in his eyes. Mrs Weasley turned around "Oh, Harry. Thank goodness. Wehoped you'd only gone one gratetoo far. Come now. We're off toFlourish and Blotts." She sighed in relief patting the boys head.  "Isn't it thrilling! GilderoyLockhart's going to be there! Wecan actually meet him! I mean,he's written almost the wholebooklist!" Hermione swoons her and Mrs Weasley dashing off. Harry looked at me confused "Who?" he questioned and I laughed walking towards the shop.

As I stood in flourish and blotts listening to the women swoon over Gilderoy Lockhart, he was rather handsome, Blonde, Pearly white teeth he wore a smile and winked at the crowd and they all went wild. I rolled my eyes he was a fraud it was that simple the others and I weaved our way through a crowd of chattering middle-aged ladies, all craning their necks for a view of Lockhart, who sat signing his stupid books at the back of the shop. At the sight of him, Mrs. Weasley pats her hair and I chuckled at her reaction. Ron looked at Harry "mum fancies him" which earned him a sharp elbow to the side I snickered, a short man fumbled through the crowd a camera in hand "out of the way! this is for the daily prophet!" he ordered and the crowd let him through Lockheart smiled at the camera staring into the crowd "It cant be... Harry Potter! (Name) Windsor!" he shouted, whispers echoed through the shop and the small man who worked for the prophet grabbed us both and shoved us to the man who smiled wrapping his arms around our shoulders I shuddered and smiled Flash! the camera went off. "Ladies and gentlemen! What anextraordinary moment this is!When young Harry and (Name) here stepped intoFlourish and Blotts this morningto purchase my autobiography,Magical Me -- which, incidentally is celebrating its twenty-seventhweek atop The Daily Prophet'sBestseller List -- he had no idea that they would, in fact, be leavingwith my entire collected works!Free of charge! " Lockheart boomed the crowd clapped and the man shoved two stacks of books into our arms I rolled my eyes and muttered a thank you. Harry and I slip into the crowd I turned to Ron "Take these, I'll buy my own" I dropped the books into his arms and he nodded gratefully. 

Draco appeared out of nowhere "Bet you loved that, didn't you,Potter? Windsor? Saint Potter and little miss perfect. Can't even go into a bookshopwithout making the front page." he sneered and I rolled my eyes "bug off Draco" I hissed at the blonde throwing a book at him he winced lightly before playing it off. Ginny stood in front of Harry and me "leave them alone! they didn't want any of this!" she growled at him a look of hatred on her face. "Look, Potter. You've got yourselfa girlfriend!" Draco laughed at Harry and Ginny "Piss off Malfoy" I glared at him anger in my eyes. "Silence, Draco! Ah... Mr Potter. I don't believe we've met" Lucious appeared from behind Draco placing his cane on the boy's shoulder "Windsor" he looked at me and smiled and I turned my head away in disgust. Lucius extends his hand as if offering to shake Harry's, but instead gently plays his fingers over the fringe of Harry's scalp, revealing Harry's scar. At his touch, Harry withdraws, ever so slightly. "Forgive me, Mr Potter. But yourscar is legendary. As, of course, isthe wizard who gave it to you" Lucious spoke a phoney look of sorrow on his face. "He was a murderer" Harry snapped stepping back from the man, "Yes, a pity about your parents.Curious that you yourself shouldescape with a mere flesh wound.Curious, too, that you speak ofhim in the past. Surely, youdon't think He-Who-Must-Not-Be- Named is gone forever." Lucius gazed deeply into Harrys eyes. "His name is Voldemort." Harry retaliated the people within hearing distance gasped. "You must be very brave, Mr.Potter, to dare speak his name.Or foolish." he glared at Harry and I snickered "Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself." Hermione butted in and I nodded in agreement. Lucius's eyes moved from Harrys to Hermione's. "You must be Miss Granger. Draco'stold me all about you... and yourparents. Muggles, aren't you?" Lucius looked disgusted his eyes moving over to Hermione's parents he was trying hard to hide his distaste and Hermione's eyes watered. Lucius was a horrid smelly disgrace of a man. 

Mr Weasley rushed over to us noticing the altercation and I sighed in relief "Children! let's go outside its mad in here!" he pushed out quickly and I nodded beginning to move "Well, well, well -- Arthur Weasley." Lucius disapproved of the man Arthur nodded his head in acknowledgement of the other man "busy time at the ministry. all those raids. I do hope they're paying you overtime" the long-haired blonde taunted he picked up Ginny's book's from her cauldron "but by the looks of it, they're not dear me. What'sthe use of being a disgrace to thename of wizard if they don't even pay you well for it." he laughed "We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name of wizard, Lucius." Mr Weasley wittily responded and I grinned "Clearly. The company you keep, Weasley. And I thought your family could sink no lower." He looked at Hermione and her parents. "Here, girl. Take your book. It'sthe best your father can give you." He spoke smugly and dropped the books back into the ginger girls cauldron "Shut up Lucius before I tell my mother to fire you, Run along now" I hissed glaring daggers at him and Lucius complied leaving the store with Draco their tails tucked between their legs I smirked victoriously. "I say we deserve a surprise, all of us off Sugarplum's Sweet Shop I say" I looked at them all they looked down in disappointment. "My treat" I grinned and they all looked up happily.
