Two Weeks Later

"Albus, you arse!" I screamed through the bathroom door. I heard him humming through the door, no doubt with a self-satisfied smirk on his face. "What respectable bloke takes 45 minutes in the bathroom?"

"I'm shaving!" He hollered back.

"Shaving what? You don't have any hair!" I banged on the door loudly. "Unless you're shaving your legs? Planning on wearing a skirt today?" I laughed. He didn't respond that time, he just continued to hum.

I pulled a pin out of my hair that was keeping the purple curls out of my face today. I played with a lock for a minute until it clicked and the door was unlocked.

It wasn't as even we couldn't use the bathroom at the same time. It was like the nicest locker room anyone could ever hope to see. It three sinks in a granite countertop. Two shower stalls and two toilet stalls.

When he saw me he yelped.

"How did you get in here?" He asked standing up from where he had been leaning on the counter.

The prat wasn't even doing anything!

"You idiot! Get out." I shoved him out the door wearing only his towel around his waist.

I heard him laugh through the door. I growled as I started taking off the blue silk night set that Ginny had insisted on buying me. It was a button down T-shirt and shorts, nothing fancy but the silk felt nice against my skin.

Then James knocked on the door and shouted, "We're leaving for Diagon Alley in 15 minutes."

I groaned and then cursed Albus. We were going shopping again, but this time for school supplies. I had to get robes and then when "the hat" told me what house I was in I would get the seal stitched into my robes.

It was interesting. I thought that all the Wotters would be in Gryffindor but a few were in Ravenclaw, like Roxanne and Hugo, and Lucy was in Hufflepuff, but the biggest shock was that Freddie was in Slytherin. It was a total surprise, he was cunning but he was also extremely loyal.

I started to think about what house I would be in. Over the last few days James had made it clear that he expected me to be in Gryffindor and Freddie, when he came over, tried to sell me Slytherin.

My biggest fear was that I would be in Slytherin. I want something that a month ago I wouldn't have even thought about.

I wanted to be in Gryffindor. Seeing how close the Wotter family was, I realized how much I missed growing up.

I showered quickly, threw my clothes in the hamper that they kept in the bathroom. Seeing Albus's knickers for the first time, with golden snitches, had freaked me out. I went back to my room and put on a purple shirt with blue jeans and a black headband, then made my hair pink.

Normally I would put a simple drying charm on my hair but that was when I was able to hide my whereabouts from the ministry. Now if I walked downstairs after showering with dry hair the Potters would know I used magic.

Ridiculous that we can't use magic outside of school, I thought.

I would have to get some materials to make a hair potion at Diagon Alley.

I trudged downstairs knowing that Albus would be grinning.

And he was, grinning like he just set his worst enemy's house on fire.

While the Potters were off saying hello to some friends I went to Gringotts. My mother and I each had a keep to my grandmother's vault, but I had only been there twice.

I told Ginny that I would meet them at Flourish and Blotts after I picked up some money. The goblin at the counter looked surprised but didn't say anything when I handed him my key. We went deep beneath the surface into vaults.

Our family vault was sight to be seen. Large and filled to the brim with galleons, gold, and other treasures. I grabbed dozens of galleons and some small treasures that were worth quite a few galleons. The goblin took me back to the surface and I went to meet up with the Potter's at Flourish and Blotts.

On the way I saw Albus talked with some brunette. She tall and pretty, I guess.

And Albus was giving off all the signs that he thought so too. He ran his hand through his hair, he did that when he was nervous or showing off, smiled and laughed at something she said, and brushed her hand with his.

This was an interesting development. I really should walk away -

But that wouldn't be fun at all.

I strutted over to the store they were standing in front of, which happened to be his uncle's shop.

"Hey Al." I smiled at him and linked my arm through his. He looked to shocked to do something. "Who's your friend." I smiled at the girl who was now scowling. Al stuttered.

"Anyway's," I cut him off, "We should go me your family now. They're waiting for us at Flourish and Blotts."

By this point the girl obviously thought we were seriously dating, seeing as how I was meeting his parent, so she walked off looking like a tomato.

"Nicole, wait!" Albus called after her. Nicole looked at him like, Are you for real?

It was the best moment of my life. Albus snatched his arm away from me.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?" He shouted.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Were you trying to get on with her?" I asked innocently. He huffed.

"You did that on purpose." He accused me.

"Duh," I grinned evilly. "Isn't is bothersome when an annoying twit does something to ruin your day on purpose. Paybacks a bitch."

He growled at me.
