I stood inside Fred and George's new tricks shop. The twins carried inside many boxes, Ron and Ginny carried in different items likes lamps and rugs. The building was pretty huge and it had stairs that led up to the heavens. I crossed my arms and watched Harry and Hermione cleaning shelves. I breathed out comfortably before I heard someone call out my name. I turned my head to see that it was Harry.

I walked up to him and he looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "You're not helping, are you?" He asked. I shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe. Possibly. I don't know, ask me later." I said with a grin. Harry chuckles before I saw Hermione pass by me with a rag in her hands. "You should be dusting." She said, nodding over towards the wall of shelves beside the three of us.

I scoffed. "Everyone likes a good ol' run down look, right George?" I said, seeing the two twins glide past me. "Are you insinuating that I look run down, Ms. Goldhorn?" George said, glancing back at me. I shrugged my shoulders with an inner chuckle. "You said it, not me." I said, raising my hands in surrender. Everyone busted out laughing before I saw Ron and Harry looking out the big window behind me. Ron's face went nasty meanwhile Harry just looked. My eyebrows furrowed before I turned my head to see:

"Look... it's Draco and Mummy." Ron spat. Draco and his mother were looking at the building, as well as the boxes sitting out on the sidewalk. They never said anything, they looked to be going somewhere though. Wait, I can ask Draco if he could pop over and help with the boxes, right? I mean we did leave off our fifth year in semi-good terms.

I glanced back at Harry. "Why don't we invite them in?" I suggested with a grin. I saw everyone's face turn into a scowl. "Absolutely not." Hermione hissed with a scrunched up expression. "Are you bloody bonkers? If you invite that loud-mouthed git in here I'm throwing you AND him out." Fred said, writing on a piece of paper in his hands. I sighed.

"Yeah, didn't he like make you cry during the Yule Ball? He's sick, Violet." Ginny mentions with a scowl. "And you're all right, but aren't we acting like every mean cold-hearted person like Draco if we don't allow him in?" Harry said. I glanced over him before turning on my heel and headed towards the doors. "I'll be right back." I heard mutters and whispers behind me. I headed towards the entrance door before I walked outside and slowly approached the two Malfoy's.

"Draco." I said, causing both of the heads to fall on me. I grinned soft at Mrs. Narcissa. "Morning Mrs. Malfoy. Anywhere specific you're heading to today?" I asked, trying to the make conversation. Narcissa and Malfoy did have the same long pointed faces and you easily tell that they were related.

"Just looking around to find something new but old, I suppose." She's says with a soft nod. I saw Draco examine the newly built before him. "What's all this?" He asked. I glanced behind me at the shop. "Oh. Fred thinks everyone sort of needs this joke shop, you know, after the Death Eaters all came by and destroyed the place." I said, Narcissa's head hung low. Forgot. Lucius was a Death Eater, and I heard the Malfoy name was put to shame.

"But, any who, the lot of us are putting up products and cleaning the shelves to spruce the place up..." I said. Draco finally looked down at me and I grinned hesitantly. "Wanna help?" I asked in a hopeful tone. Draco's face was dull as he glanced between the new store, and me. He finally looked everywhere BUT my face before saying:

"Pass." That word contained no meaning or no feeling. It was effortless at it left his lips. I finally registered what the boy had said as he turned on his heel and began walking down an alleyway to my right. My eyes followed him and my eyebrows furrowed. What's wrong with him?

"Draco." I heard Narcissa call after the boy, making him stop his tracks. "You could stay here for a while, can't you?" She asked. I saw Draco's hands tremble. "No, I don't think I can, mother." He said, he had a nasty tone under his words. I walk over to Draco as his back was turned to me and grabbed his right forearm. "You don't have to stay, Draco. It's just an offer." I said, his arm was completely tense, which caused me to slightly worry. There was silence before I heard a slight growl coming from in front of Draco.
