Over the next week Ron, Harry, and I had a blast just hanging out. This morning mum announced that we were going to Diagon Alley today. Damn, today was the day Draco and his father are going as well.
After lunch we all gathered around our floo powder system and prepared for traveling, "but wait mum, I forgot to tell you, Harry's never traveled by floo powder before." Said Ron. Harry looked confused as he said "Floo powder, what's that?" mum explained to him and Ron went first then harry stepped into the fire, took some floo powder and yelled "D –Dia –gon Alley" then he was gone.
I took some next and yelled out "Diagon Alley!" and went up in green flames. I looked around for harry but saw he was not by Ron. I did a quick cleaning spell on my clothes, hair and skin and then went up to Ron. "Where's harry?" I asked, he looked alarmed and said "He hasn't gone yet… had he?" I nodded and we looked and saw mum, dad, Fred, George, and Percy looking for Harry as well. "Well… this is not good." Said Fred. We decided to go to Gringotts and then if Harry didn't show up we'd go looking for him. On the way there we met Hermione who, after we told her what happened, was concerned. Then she went outside for a minute and then next she's beaming, and pulling a very dirty looking Harry next to her.
I ran up and hugged him ad made way for my hysterical mum, who was cleaning harry up and repairing his glasses. I laughed as my mum stumbled over words, I knew she was worried but not this worried, Harry always gets in trouble but he always comes back. Then Harry told us he'd landed in Knockrum alley and how he heard Draco and his father selling some dark items at Borgin and Burkes.
Dad smiled grimly and said "So Lucius is worried. Oh, I'd love to get Lucius Malfoy for something…" I blocked him out; Draco would be so upset if that happened, it would make him hate my family more than he already does. We rode down to our volt first. I felt embarrassed by the lack of coins in our vault. I could tell Harry was trying not to look and looked guilty. I felt worse for him when we got to his volt, he was trying to block our view from the piles and piles of gold and sickles packed in, but I still saw it, but I pretended I didn't.
Back outside, we separated. Mum went to get our robes, Percy went off, muttering about a new quill, Fred and George went off with Lee, and dad and the Granger went off for a drink at the three broomsticks. Mum told us to meet at Flourish and Blotts in an hour. I separated myself from Harry, Ron, and Hermione saying that I had to visit a friend. They agreed and I went off. I knew Draco would find me somehow, so I just strolled along stopping at a shop or two before I heard my name.
I turned around to be faced with Draco and Mr. Malfoy. "Hello Draco. Good day Mr. Malfoy" I said calmly. Draco smiled and his father smirked down at me. "Ah, you must be Miss Weasley, Draco has told my wife and me so much about you. I must say you are warmer and… more poised than the rest of your family." I smiled coldly and said "Thank you Mr. Malfoy, it's not every day I'm told that." He smiled coldly back at me and went to look around the shop.
I turned on my real smile and hugged Draco. "Oh Draco I missed you so much! I know your summer was a bore but so was mine." He laughed and looked around "Where's boy wonder and his sidekick?" he asked. I glared at him and said "Draco, Harry and my brother are off with Hermione, far away from here. Please I don't want to fight let's just… you know enjoy this time together." He nodded and we talked for a little while before Draco said "Fathers almost done, but I have a surprise for you." I raised my eyebrows and said "you do? What is it?" he fiddles around in his pocket before pulling out a beautiful bracelet." I gaped at it; it must be real silver and sapphires. "Oh Draco it's beautiful but…" I began but he cut me off saying "No Rose, I want you to have it. I had it made for you, I just missed you…" he fumbled off.
I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you Draco, it's wonderful. I love it." He turned red and I laughed as I waved goodbye and left. I felt all bubbly and giddy. I pocketed the bracelet and ran towards Flourish and Blotts.
