Chapter 2: Harry Potter

Severus and the girls had been planning to go to Diagon Alley at the end of the month to buy school supplies. It was only a week away at the time, and the twins had been looking forward to seeing what Hogwarts had for them to learn. They already had wands though because their Aunt Antoinette had homeschooled them in France last year.

They flooed over to Madam Malkin's to buy their school robes. Which they thought were slightly dreary compared to what they wore last year (considering that the Hogwarts robes were black.) They headed to other shops to buy school supplies for the year.

Then they went to Flourish and Blotts to get second year books. What they found there was a huge crowd jostling to get in. Lily had never really liked big crowds so she followed her sister in with Snape following up the rear. On the window of the shop was a large banner explaining the reason for the crowd:

GILDEROY LOCKHART

Will be signing copies of his autobiography

MAGICAL ME

Today 12:30 to 4:30

Severus sighed as he pushed the girls into the shop. He helped them grab the books they needed and got in line. As they got to the front they bought their books and then, before they were about to head out of the shop they heard a loud shout, "It can't be Harry Potter?" they turned around to see Lockhart grab a black haired boy, who looked about their age, out of the crowd. Harry did not look very happy as Lockhart shook him and announced that he would be coming to teach at Hogwarts and then handed Harry all of his books for free. Once Harry was let go he walked close to where they were standing and dropped his books into a red headed girl's cauldron.

Claudia walked up to Harry, eager to meet someone their age and said, "Hello, I'm Claudia, and this is my sister Donatella" but after the glare she received from her sister she added, "er— Lily."

"We're coming to Hogwarts this year!" Lily told him.

Harry was about to say something to the before he was cut off by a pale blonde haired boy. "Bet you loved that, didn't you Potter? Famous Harry Potter, can't even go to the bookstore without making the front page."

"He didn't want that! Any decent person wouldn't." Claudia said. She looked at him and got the impression of a very spoiled banana. She could also tell that he was resentful of Harry.

"Who are you?" the boy asked.

"Claudia Snape. You?"

"Draco Malfoy."

She turned around to Severus (who neither Draco nor Harry had noticed was there) and exclaimed, "This is Draco Malfoy? … I don't like him."

Harry raised an eyebrow as Snape said to the twins through his teeth, "I told you to be nice to him." Snape had daughters? He obviously didn't last year. He looked around him to see that Hermione, Ron, and the Weasley twins were gaping at them, apparently just as surprised as he was.

Malfoy's father walked up to Snape and gave a respectful nod. "Severus. I see you have your daughters here as well. Come Draco." And they left the shop heading down the road.

"Claudia, Lily, these are my friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger."

"Hello, Ron and Hermione." Lily greeted them, "I'm so glad to meet more people from Hogwarts! What year are you in?"

"Second." Hermione answered, the other two nodding.

"Cool." Claudia the one who spoke now, "We are going to be second years too."

"Ladies, I should think that it is time to go now." Severus said steering them towards the door, shooting a glare in Harry's direction.

"See you at school!" Claudia and Lily called behind them, leaving a still slightly confused Harry. And you know? Claudia thought that she rather liked that Harry Potter.

Hey all! Just to let you know, I do know that my first chapters are very short, but they get longer as the plot increases. :} evil grin! I'm going to be a bit busy over the holidays, so I might not be able to update for another week if I can't get online.
