Disclaimer:I don't own Harry Potter.
Enjoy! :)
"Are you ready?" Asked Severus, who was leaning against the door of Harry's bedroom.
"Give me a second," replied Harry as he put his shoes on. "Done!" Exclaimed Harry Cheerfully.
Severus smiled. "Come on,then."
Harry followed his father, who was hesding towards the chambers' door.h
POP! Harry and Severus appriated to Diagon ally. Harry felt queasy and though that he might throw up any second, but he didn't.
"Where are we going?" Asked Harry.
"To Madame Malkin's, you need a new wardrobe!"
"There is no need, really-"
"No,Harry. There is a need."
"But-"
"No buts, end of conveesation."
The bell at the top of the door rang as Severus opened the door of Madame Malkin's and entered, Harry behind him.
"Good evening, how can I help you?" Came Madame Malkin's too cheerful voice.
"He needs dressrobes,everyday robes,T-shirts,shirts,boxers-Harry blushed- and socks."
"Sure thing! Come dwar, let me show you the colours we have and you choose what you like."
"I'll go finish some buisness. I'll be back in an hour, you should be done by then." Severus told Harry, to which Harry nodded. And with that he was gone.
"Thank you for everything,sir." Harry thanked Severus.
Severus took a deep breath and looked at Harry. Placing his hands on either of the boy's shoulders,he said; "What I did to you today is what every parent would do to his child. You were abused. You ere deprived of many things as child, of many luxries. Although I can't undo the past, I'll try to make up for what you missed as a kid.
And then his father hugged him, right there, in the middle of Diagon ally, in plain view. But Harry didn't care and neither did Severus.
For a moment,Harry stood rigidly, his father's arms wrapped around him. Slowly,he hugged Severus back and buried his face in the older man's chest. They like that fo a moment, not caring about the passed byes, but eventually all good things come to an end, and so Severus and Harry contuniued walking through Diagon ally, towards Pattinson's café.
This time Harry pushed the door open but before he could enter he felthis father place his palm on his left shoulder.
"Harry?"
"Yes?"
"I gotta go finish some stuff, can I trust you to saty out of trouble?"
"Yeah," replied Harry distractedly. He was staring at the many ice cream flavours -the ice cream stand was close to the door, which was transparent- there were all kinds of flavours; eggplant,cheese,egg,rice,tomato, onion and many other flavours.
"Harry!" Said Severus sternly.
"Yes sir!" Exclaimed Harry, and quickly snapped his attention back to his father.
"Can I trust you to stay out of trouble while I go finish some buisness?"
"Yes sir!"
"Good. Here, take ten Galleons they should be more than enough." And with that Severus left.
Harry sighed and stuffed the Galleons in his trouser's front pocket. His father had been going to finish "some buisness" every time they enterd a store. He had wished they could atleast sit together here, but no, "Some buisness" was more important than him. Harry knew he should be thankful that Severus took him to Diagon ally in the first place, but still...
He walked up to the man standing behind the ice cream stand and said; "Excuse me, can I jsve an ice cream with three scoops?"
"Sure! Cup or biscuit? And what flavours?"
"Um...Cup. Choclate,lime and cheescake." As much as the idea of trying new flavours sounded appealing, he didn't want to risk taking something he might mot like, not today. Today he wanted to enjoy his ice cream, like Dudley always does.
"Here," said the man joyfully as je handed him ice cream. "That would be two sickles and knut."
"Here," Harry handed him a Gealloen. After he got his change back, he went to look for an empty table. But there was none. It was to be expected though, 'cuz after all, today was Saturday.
After searching a couple more times, he finally found an empty table at the corner infront of the door. He made a run for it -before anyone could spot the table.
Thw moment he touched the table's chair another hand touched the chair infront of it. Before he had time to apologize the other person quickly pulled his hand away and apologized.
"No,no it's okay, you can take it." Said Harry, embarced.
"Um...there doesn't seem to any other table and... I'm here alone, my parents went to but some stuff, so... Are you here alone?" Ranted the other boy.
Harry didn't know why the other boy was telling him all of this,but he smiled amd answered anyways. "Yeah, I'm alone."
"Do you mimd if we sit together?"
Harry was suprised. That was the last he expected, but he looked like he ment well, so Harry didn't see any reason to why he should refuse. "Yeah,sure."
"Great!"
They sat infront of wach other. "Cedric Diggory." The guy introduced himself with a soft smile.
"Harry Potter," he wasn't sure wether to introduce himself as Harry Potter or Harry Snap, he even comsidered just Harry, but settled for Harry Potter at the end.
"So... What year will you be starting?" Harry asked, trying to open a conversation.
"Fifth." Said Cedric, "everybody's saying thst the O.W.L's are gonna be tough, but I don't undersrand be tough, but I don't undersrand why they are making such a big deal of it. I mean if you study for an exam you'll find it easy, but if you don't, then you'll find it hard and fail, obviously. It's the same with all the other exams-" Relizing that he had been ranting, Cedric apologized, a small smile playing on his face.
"No,it's alright," replied Harry with a smile of his own.
"Oh, I'm in Huffelpuff, by the way."
"Gryffindor." Although Harry knew that Cedric already knew.
"I'll be srarting second year." Said Harry as he ate his ice cream.
"Hmm... What subjects are you planning to choose?"
Harry stared at him with confusion.
"At the end of second year you get to choose two extra subjects that you'll be studying in your third year. The choices will be; Care Of Magical Creatures, Divenation,Ancient Ruins,Arthimacy and muggle studies.
"What did you chooses?"
"Ancient Ruins and Care Of Magical Creatures."
"I dunno what to choose. Ancient Ruins sounds interesting though."
"I'll help you choose at the end of the year, if you don't mind, that is."
"I don't, I don't," said Harry with a smile.
They had finished their ice creams and were talking about Quidditch when Cedric's parent came, Cedric said he would write to him. Harry was glad that he had made another friend.
And so, Harry sat there, waiting for Severus and wondering what some buisness" was.
TBC...
A/N:Yep! You guessed right! I still haven't forgiven JK for killing our favorite Huffelpuff. So, how was the last episode of of Teen Wolf? To be honest I expected many deaths, like from Scott's pack, not that I'm complaining though, mind you , I'm happy that they all made out alive. Not all... I'll never forget Allison... Do you guys know any songs?
Reveiws are appreciated! :)
