bA/N:

well chapter 2 now written. Ash had an interview so was too busy to help write this chapter. next week will be my interview so, Ash will be writing the third chapter. well in this chapter we will be focusing on Ron, Hermione, and Draco's store and shopping. there may also be a little surprise at the end if I'm in a good mood * enter evil smiley face here*

Draco looked through the selves of books. 'Good,' he thought to himself, ' they are all interesting.' The new store would open in less than 3 hours. Hermione called Ron and Draco to report to the shop at 9:30 in the morning to help with last minute preparations. Draco was engaging himself in a fantastic book, but he was happy to help Hermione fix up a few mistakes. Ron, however, was taking a nice nap and was rather grumpy when asked to help fix little mistakes found in the shop.

The store was quite beautiful. Draco had gotten to choose the wall paper and design. It was purple with a black curve design. Polished oak wood held the books and other items with plush light brown carpeting underneath it. Even the desk had a glass case which showed the newest product that had been brought in. Plush chairs with smooth glass tables sat in a circle around the middle of the store.

Hermione was freaking out all because she saw a chair leg was slightly leaning to the side. Ron and Draco fixed it up, all while reminding Hermione that she was a mage and could have fixed the leg all by herself.

At 12:00, Ron, as well as Draco, feared that Hermione might die from a panic attack. No one has walked in after 10minutes of being open, and Hermione jumped to the conclusion that their business will be unsuccessful. It took several minutes to calm Hermione down. "There, there, Hermione." Both boys said this in sync and started laughing. Hermione looked from Draco to Ron and started to laugh too.

The trio was interrupter from a cough. Hermione got up and looked over the counter and let out a squeal of excitement. Both Draco and Ron rushed up to see the person that was there.

Standing there was Neville Longbottom, hand in hand with Luna Lovegood. Both teens were friends of Hermione, Ron, and Draco from school.

A wide grin poured itself on Luna's face. "Hello, you three!" Luna started staring at the other three behind the counter, "It's been so long since we last seen you! Oh how I missed you so!" Luna seemed to tear up a bit at her last sentence.

"Luna," this was Neville talking to Luna, "we saw them in school just a few months ago." Luna looked at Neville and giggled.

"Now," Draco said, "We have much to catch up with, don't we?"

With that said the five friends pulled a few chairs up to a table and talked over a few snacks Hermione brought from the miniature refrigerator behind the desk. Ron or Draco would sometimes get up to help a customer, which didn't happen every often.

It felt great to reconnect with old friends. It helped Draco forget about how suckish his life really was. That was, until he walked in.

Harry was not enjoying this. How…the bloody hell is anyone supposed to find anything in this town! Harry mentally yelled this.

He has been walking around this-this place for hours! Emphasis on the place because this cannot be considered a shopping street with all the abandoned stores and shady guys and-.

For the first time, in what felt like a long time, Harry smiles. Through a shop window sat none other than that little prick who tried to capture him just a few days ago: Draco Malfoy.

A devilish grin slowly formed on Harry's lips. It's been a slow day for him; annoying the crap out of somebody just might lighten up his mood.

Harry ducked into an empty ally way and removed his robes. He quickly removed his contacts and replaced them with his not-so-old wired rimmed glasses.

'Now,' Harry thought to himself. 'They won't be able to recognize me, well not immediately'

Harry walked through the glass door and heard a bell chime above him. He saw a mirror somewhere near the back. When he saw himself, he could barely recognize himself. He was wearing a light blue button down shirt with dark black, tight jeans. His hair was a mess and his eyes seemed to look much more mischievous behind his glasses than they would ever have behind his contacts.

Harry realized he had been standing in the same spot for quite a while. He stole a quick glance at his reflection, than continued walking into the store. He could even emit the store was magnificent. Glass tables with plush chairs, velvet window curtains that were pulled back to let the sunlight into the store; laminating it in a way. But what really caught Harry's sea green eyes, were the assortment of books.

The shelves were filled with all types of books. The categories went from small picture books to large, thick books for more advanced readers. Harry took a look at Draco. He seemed to enjoying himself with some friends of his.

'I guess I could let the boy enjoy himself for today,' Harry whispered to himself.

After all, there was no need to disturb Draco when he seemed quite happy. Draco looked very different from when they first saw each other; not really clothing wise, but more facile change. There was a bright smile on Draco's face, a beautiful smile.

Harry walked off into one of the many rows of shelves. He looked through the many books before stopping at a very interesting looking book, entitled, 'Percy Jackson & the Lightening Thief'.

"Oh! You could talk to Draco about the books if you can't find one that you like."

Harry turned around in mild surprise. He now looked at a red haired, green eyed boy. He was obviously an archer; seeing that he had an arrow and bow held in one hand. The boy (or some may say teen…or man) smiled at Harry. Harry returned the smile.

"Name's Ronald, but please don't ever call me that. Just call me Ron"

"I'm Harry"

"Hullo, Harry. As I was saying, Draco could really help you with finding a book. He's the book worm"

Before Harry could protest, Ron turned and called to the bleached haired boy. Draco sighed and then started walking towards both boys.

Once there, Draco stopped, looking slightly perplexed. Ron looked from Harry to Draco, patted Harry's shoulder in a friendly gesture, then left.

There was a pregnant pause. The silence was quite uncomfortable, especially for Harry. However it was Draco who broke the silence.

"Sorry for staring, but you look like someone I've met before." said Draco with an apologetic smile. "Anyway, you are interested in the Lightening Thief. It's a amazing book."

Harry decided that he best not talk or Draco may recognize him. He simply nodded at Draco's statement. After 20 minutes of looking through shelves and shelves and shelves of books, Harry was ready to pay for all his books.

Draco left Harry to go to Hermione to pay. Hermione read off all the books he bought and gave him a receipt.

"What's your name?"Hermione called out to Harry. Seeing the perplexed look on his face, "You're our first customer that actually bought something."

Harry smiled and forgot about Draco being just a few feet away from him and told her, "Harry Potter."

There was a soft remark of 'what?' and the next thing Harry knew, he was pinned to the ground and was being strangled to death.

A/N:

that was pretty good, seeing that I was getting writers BLOCK AND Ash wasn't here to help me out with writing this...t^t

any who, I'm terribly sorry about not posting the story about a week later than i said I WOULD. I had writers block and since it's the end of the year my teachers are giving my grade a lot more homework than usual, it sucks. also my mummy's birthday is coming close and she's having a giant 5o year bash (YA my mum is OLD!) so we were busy helping her with that. once summer comes, I'll have a lot of free time so i can or may be able to post a chapter regularly. thanks for reading!- Dee.
