Chapter 2
Diagon Alley
I rushed down the stairs to the dining area where sat my mother, father and Draco being served breakfast by Dobby. "Ah, Marissa, good, you made very good timing!" I saw that Draco wasn't focusing on his breakfast, but more on his letter from Hogwarts. "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! MARISSA! DID YOU SEE YOUR LETTER TOO? I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GOING TO HOGWARTS!" Draco was now jumping in his seat with excitement before dad told him to settle down. "Marissa, your mother tells me that you have already read your letter?" I smiled, remembering how I felt just like Draco now, "Yes father, I did read my letter already. Are we going to Diagon Alley now?" I asked looking at him with my big innocent stare that almost always made sure that I got what I wanted. "Yes we are honey. Just as soon as we finish breakfast, we'll go down to Diagon Alley." Draco and I looked at each other, and at the same time yelled, "YES!!!" I knew that Draco was thinking of going to go look at racing brooms. I, on the other hand, was going to go look at all the robes at Madam Malkins!
Just like father had said, as soon as we all had finished breakfast, we used the floo network to get to Diagon Alley. Dad told us that there was an entrance to Diagon Alley from The Leaky Cauldron, but he didn't like using it because all the muggle born wizard and witches used that entrance.
Father never liked to associate with Muggles or Muggle born's. I never understood why. Mum always said that we were a pureblood wizarding family, our family was filled with Witches and Wizards, and the Muggle born's didn't have a single witch or wizards in the family. Still, I never understood why? But I could never ask that to father or in his presence. I once mentioned it, but he yelled at me for 10 minutes telling me why I was never to speak of or to any Muggle born's. Even that never helped me understand. I think father is just prejudiced.
When we got to Diagon Alley, we first went to Gringotts to get some money for the trip. After we had the money, mother gave me and Draco a small satchel of gold and told us to go to Madam Malkins to get our school robes. I happily skipped to the shop, while Draco followed behind looking at all the different shops. When we got to the shop, Madam Malkin, a short squat women, measured us and then got to work with our robes. As she was doing this, another person walked in. She told us she would be right back and the turned around to go to the front of the shop. A minute later, she led a boy who looked about our age, to the back of the shop to get his robes fitted as well. The boy wore round glasses that were taped in the middle. He had messy Black hair and the most beautiful Green eyes I had ever seen.
He looked very nervous coming in. He must've been muggle-born. Madam Malkin told him to get on top of the stool next to me.
"Hi! I'm Marissa, Marissa Malfoy. And you are?" The boy seemed surprised when I introduced myself. "Oh, um, hi, I'm Harry. Harry Potter." I couldn't believe it! I had just met THE HARRY POTTER! "Whoa! You're the Harry Potter?! The one who made you-know-who disappear!" He looked at me nervously, but didn't respond. I figured he was being modest.
Everyone in my family knew who Harry Potter was. He was the cause of the downfall of you-know-who. My whole family being Death Eaters, they hated him. I didn't get why. I thought it was good he was gone. With him being gone, no more innocent lives could be taken; no one would have to suffer anymore. I couldn't tell this to my father at all, he was you-know-who's most loyal person. I'm glad before Harry had come after Draco had left, if Harry had introduced himself in front of Draco, he would've become really nasty to Harry.
"Ok, dears, both of your robes are fitted and done!" Madam Malkin announced after a few minutes of silence between me and Harry. We both paid and left. "So, have you gotten your wand yet Harry?" I asked him as soon as we left the robe shop. "Oh, not yet, have you?" I was really excited about getting my wand. Now I was hoping Harry and I could get to know each other a little more.
"Oh, not yet, I was planning to get it right after I got my robes fitted, so right about now!" He laughed at this. I was happy to see he had other emotions other than nervousness. "So, are you a muggle-born wizard, pureblood or half blood?" I asked him trying to make conversation walking towards Ollivanders. "Oh, I don't know, I lost my parent when I was only 1, and I've been living with my muggle relatives since then." That was interesting. He didn't know his blood status. Interesting.
We reached Ollivanders and went inside. We didn't see anyone behind the counter, so we rang the little bell on the desk. Suddenly, an old man with white hair and a small beard came into view on top of a very tall ladder.
"Ah, yes, what can I help you young children with today?" He stepped down and came in front of me and Harry. Seeing as Harry was, again, very nervous, I spoke up. "Hello sir, my friend and I are here to purchase our first wands." He smiled and then picked up a measuring tape and measured my arms first. "Which is your wand hand miss?" I remember father telling me that my writing hand is also my wand hand. "Right, my wand hand is my right hand." Soon I had gotten my wand, Holly and Yew, 11 and a quarter inches. Then, it was Harry's turn. Soon, he had gotten his wand as well, Holly and Phoenix 13 inches. Ollivander seemed very curious about Harry's wand. He told him that his wand's center, the phoenix feather, was the same one as the one in you-know-who's wand. Wow, talk about a coincidence.
So, after we got our wands, Harry headed back to Hagrid, the one who brought him to Diagon Alley, and I went back to my parents in the broom shop. "So, Marissa, did u get everything? Your wand and school robes?" I put my bags down after carrying them all day long. "Ya mum; I got everything except for my books, cauldron, and an owl." I said looking at my list of supplies. "Oh, your father and I got both of your books and cauldrons. Now, would you like to go to Eylopes to get your owl?" I nodded my head excitedly and pulled mum towards the owl emporium leaving dad and Draco looking at racing brooms.
We got out of Eylopes Owl Emporium about half an hour later with a really pretty white owl. I got her because she was the only one that I thought looked like a soft and nice owl, not a very mean one like the others there. It was my first owl and I told myself that I would take the best care of it I could. I decided to name her Minnie. She was somewhat smaller than most of the owls in the store, so I thought it would only be appropriate.
We got back to the Quidditch Necessities store to find Draco bragging to a bunch of little kids how he's going to get one soon too. One thing to know about my brother: he loves to brag. Whether it's about how he learned to fly a broom when he was five, or that he's richer than most people these days, or how his entire family is pureblood. It gets really annoying whenever he does it, and I'm usually the only one who can get him to stop. Another thing to know about Draco is that, we're best friends. We don't do anything without each other. We've always told each other everything, and we always cover for one another when we're in trouble. If you mess with him, you mess with me. If someone messes with me, they mess with Draco. So, naturally, I went over to where he was standing and bragging, came up behind him, and pulled his ear. I dragged him by his ear all the way back to where mum was standing, now accompanied by dad. On the way, I told him to stop bragging.
"Draco, you've got to stop bragging to everyone! No one cares if you learned how to ride a broom when you were five! And no one will care that our whole family is full of purebloods!" I lectured him as he was silently letting me drag him. "You should really be more considerate of other people! You can't just go around bragging all the time! Soon, people are going to get so sick and tired of hearing it, they're going to want to punch you so hard and make sure they knock out all your teeth so you can't talk anymore!"
"Ok fine! You're right and I'm wrong! Are you Happy now? I admitted that I was wrong!" Draco hates admitting that he's wrong when he is, but he only ever does to me. We have a really special relationship. It's weird, we don't usually fight, but if we do, it's about something really big, like one time, when Draco and I were eight, I sort of scratched Draco's favorite racing broom, then, the next day, I went to hang out with a couple of people from the neighborhood(all pureblood though, I'd get in trouble if the were anything less than purebloods) and Draco found out, and well, he told mum and dad that they were all muggle-born's I was hanging out with. When I got home, it seemed like the world was ending. Dad was furious, mum didn't say anything though, she didn't take sides once, but Draco looked really really smug about the whole thing as he watched me get in trouble. Then finally, I was sent to my room, and about 20 minutes later, Draco came in to tell me 'that's what I get for scratching his broom' speech, but instead, he saw me crying and tried to apologize. Well, I was furious with him, and so I yelled at him so much, that I went to bed with a sore throat, and woke up with my voice almost gone. Well, Draco felt bad and finally told dad about what he did, and he was grounded for two months, and wasn't allowed to ride his broom. Then we both apologized to each other as soon as I could talk again, and then, that was that and we haven't fought like that since. I love the relationship we have, it's unlike most siblings, especially for fraternal twins like us. And that's how I like it, I would never want it to change. That's just how the Malfoy twins role!
