A young girl of about 16 stared at the busy crowd of wizards bustling around Diagon Ally with their kids to buy them supplies for the upcoming school year. The girl had long black hair, a warm heart shaped face, hazel green eyes, and an amazing figure. She blended into the crowd with regular looks but stood out slightly because of her beauty.

She perked up slightly when she spotted a boy who was about a year older then her with dark brown hair and blue eyes. This boy could be none other than James Potter the Second. She began to weave her way through the crowd towards him. Somehow she managed to bump right into him and almost knock him over. He reached out and steadied her.

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to run into you. I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going and.." she said as she put small bag in her back pocket.

He cut her off. "It's fine. Don't worry about it no one is hurt. My name is James by the way. I don't think we have met before." James delivered with a charming smile.

She smiles back. "Mine's Mia. It was nice meeting you, despite the circumstances, but I have to go. My parents are probably looking for me." She said and then ran off.

Once she was in an abandoned looking street she stopped. She looked around and when she was sure no one was looking she changed her appearance. She morphed into a white-blonde, blue eyed beauty with aristocratic features. She walked down to the other end of the street and then went to her left. She got the bag that she put in her pocket during her previous meeting with James, out and began to examine the contents. The bag just so happened to be James' money bag that was full of galleons, sickles, and knuts. It was quite a catch in her terms.

"Stealing again Bri?" A young male voice said behind her making her jump. She turned around and faced her accuser. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who it was.

"Merlin, Scor you scared me! And it's not like I have much other choices since Father disowned me for being sorted into Gryffindor."

"I still can't believe he did that. You know I still love you no matter what house you're in Briarlynn. Okay?" he told her seriously and then muttered, "even if your house is horrid."

"Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy! I heard that last part. And thanks you're the best twin brother ever!"

"Enough with this mushy stuff! Let's go spend your 'hard earned' money."

The twins went to Flourish and Blott's first to get their books for the new school year. They were almost there when they were met with huge commotion. James had just discovered his missing money. His mum was trying to calm him down.

"Don't worry. We will find your money. When do you remember having it last?"

"Just before I met this girl."

"Do you remember what she looks like? Maybe she saw it somewhere."

"She had long black hair."
"Did she have bangs?" Mrs. Potter asked.

"No, she also had brownish green eyes. She was really pretty too." he blushed at the last part.

"Anything else you could give me?" She questioned.

"Yeah! Her name is Mia."

The duo took off down the streets searching and calling out for "Mia". Scorpius tried to show no emotion but failed to keep the smile off his face even though he succeeded in not laughing. His sister gave an embarrassed smile.

"James Potter? Merlin's beard. You didn't even give him a chance did you? I will probably never hear the end of this from Al. You are one conniving person. You should have been put in Slytherin. Your cunning and wit is wasted in Gryffindor." He whispered in her ear.

She laughed. "Thanks. I will take that as a complement even if you did just insult my house. I figure it would be best to get the money all at once."

"Bri, I love you. James Potter?" He said the latter part in shock.

The rest of their shopping trip was uneventful until they reached the end of it. Briarlynn bought second hand stuff for the next year while Scorpius bought brand new stuff. Briar managed to have a little money left over and used some of it to buy some ice-cream at Florean's ice-cream shop. They had just finished eating the ice cream when they came to the pet shop. Scorpius dragged Briar into the store. He stopped in front of the owls.

"Choose one."

"We have been over this before, Scor. Father would kill you if he found out."

"I don't care I want to talk to my sister more often the than the few times we run into each other alone in Diagon Ally. Please let me buy you an owl. It can be the cheapest one out there I just want to have a way to talk to you without us getting in trouble." He pleaded with her. He even gave her a puppy dog look. She ended up giving in and he got her a beautiful barn owl.

"You're the best older brother, even if you're only older by 5 minutes." She gave him a hug.

"5 very important minutes."He delivered with a smirk. She answered by smacking him on the chest. They walked back into the street. He was the first to break the silence.

"Where are you sleeping tonight?" He asked in genuine concern.

"I don't know yet. I'll probably end up at the train station."

"Be careful alright? I don't know how I could live with myself if something happened to you."

"I will. You're a good person, despite what people say about you. Your future wife is gonna be one lucky girl." Scorpius blushed at that comment. "You like someone don't you!" He blushed harder. "You do! Who is she?"

"I have to go. Mum and Dad are probably wondering where I Am." he said and then took off as if his life depended on it.

"This isn't the end of this conversation!" she called out after him
