Hello my loyal readers!
Here it is! The second story in my series! R&R!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter!
Laurie's POV:
One word: bored. That was the word that described how I felt during my first summer after being at Hogwarts for a year. Hogwarts was 100 times more exciting than my house! The only exciting thing that had happened over the summer so far was me being able to see my best friend Sara Ridgecrest a couple of times. Sara and I hadn't seen much of each other over the summer, because Sara was busy getting her twin sisters ready for their first year at Hogwarts. Luckily, I would have my best friend back when we went back to Hogwarts for our second year.
On August 20th, my parents told me to put on one of my best dresses and to stay in my room until they called me down. I was used to this routine, because this is what I was told to do whenever we had guests coming. Sure enough, ten minutes later the doorbell rang. "Laurie! Open the door for our guests please!" "Okay!" I skipped down the stairs and went up to the front door. I opened it and saw Draco Malfoy standing outside. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" I asked, surprised. "My father didn't let me know until about an hour ago. I'm just as surprised as you are." "Draco! I thought I told you to wait!" A voice called sharply. "And that would be my father." Draco said. Draco's father came up the walkway. "Good afternoon, Miss Greengrass." "Good afternoon, Mr. Malfoy. It's nice to meet you." "I can't believe I haven't met you sooner. Draco talks about you all the time at home." Draco blushed and mumbled something that sounded like "embarrassing me" but I couldn't be sure. "Please come in." I led them into the sitting room where my parents were waiting. "Laurie, why don't you take Draco upstairs and show him your room while the grown-ups talk?" My mother asked.
"Okay." I led Draco upstairs towards my room. I stopped in front of my bedroom door and turned to Draco. "You can't tell anybody about this, okay? My room is full of books written by Muggles. I like to read them when I'm bored or feeling sad. They always cheer me up." "Okay. I won't tell anyone, but why would you even like books written by Muggles?" "They're really good at building suspense. There's this one book series that I really like and it's called The Secret Series. It's by a Muggle named Pseudonymous Bosch. Well, at least that's his pen name. I don't know if that's his real name or not." "Could I read the first book in the series?" Draco asked. "I thought that you really didn't like Muggles?" "Well, you seem to like Muggle books, so I might as well give them a chance.
We spent the next hour reading. My parents came upstairs after Draco had left to see if I wanted to go to Diagon Alley to go get school supplies and then eat dinner at the Leaky Cauldron. I figured that we might as well get it out of the way, so I hopped up from my window seat, and we went to Diagon Alley. However, when we got there, it was super crowded andmy parents and I agreed that it would be better to get school supplies closer to the end of the month.
Sorry it was such a short chapter! I promise that the next one will be longer! The more reviews I get, the faster I will update! No flames, please! :)
