CHAPTER: UNEXPECTED MEETING AT DIAGON ALLEY
-d-d-d-d-d-d-d
Draco had the most wonderful night last night. He and Sherry danced with each other, which was more than he could ask for. Sure, most of the males in the ballroom gave them glares and had no choice but to ask the other girls.
Draco couldn't wait until they met up again at Diagon Alley. It was only two more days.
One day passed.
Draco was getting more impatient. He complained to his father that he couldn't wait anymore and his father would usually say, "You can't wait because you want to see Sherry again," and it left Draco blushing, one time when his father said, her mother just came into the room and said, "My little dragon! i'm so proud of you!" and it left him blushing even darker.
one day passed
Draco couldn't wait any longer. He rushed into the showers and got dressed and ate his breakfast in a matter of ten fact, he was so fed up with seeing Sherry he didn't notice that he shouted at his parents to hurry up.
Finally came the time when they apparated into the Leaky cauldron. Draco saw that the Dark Lord was already there with Sherry and Harry, who were drinking butterbeer. He had to admire how Sherry looked, she was wearing a purple sleeveless shirt and a matching skirt and tights, she was also wearing the heels that he had given her at the party.
The heels were a deep shade of purple and amethysts encrusted the straps of the heel. He also noticed that she was wearing her long hair which passed her waist in a loose pony, though it was tied at almost the end of her hair with a pale green ribbon. It gave an affect that she let her hair down if you didn't notice the ribbon in the first place. She looked,beautiful in her own way.
-h-h-h-h-h-h
Harry and his family were all waiting for the Malfoys. He finished drinking his butterbeer and turned around to see if they were here yet. And they were, making their way towards us. Draco was at the very front, with a giddy look of happiness on his face.
He could be in his 'lovey dovey' state. I wonder who he's in love with. Wait a minute, there a ninty-nine percent chance that he's in love with Sherry. Oh for goodness sake, i need to tell Sherry! Harry thought and was about to get his sister's attention, being the overprotective boy he was when he saw some things that just made his eyes pop out.
THe two of them hugged each other. "I missed you so much!" Sherry said "I missed youtwo, iwas practically shouting at my parents that... oh" Draco realized that he had been shouting at his parents. He turned to them and rubbed his neck, "oops, sorry mum, dad." he said sheepishly as he met their amused smirks and stares.
"Am I missing something here!?" Harry blurted out. Now all the stares were focused on him, mostly from his father, sister and Draco. "Harry, Draco just said sorry to his parents for shouting at them," his father said.
Now all the stares were on his father. Awkward silence followed the dumb reply. Finally, Harry broke the silence by saying, "Okay, father and I are missing the point of this conversation, so can you please tell us?" Draco's parents smirked.
"Draco here, has been very impatient the passed few days and said that he wanted to go to Diagon Alley immediately," Lucius said while Harry, Voldermort and Sherry raised an eyebrow. "Though we think that he wants to meet someone special to him," his mother as she glanced at Draco and Sherry.
"Is there something going on between the two of you?" Both Malfoys asked the girl and boy, who were blushing madly. "Um, a.. you see... we a.." Draco said, not knowing how to say it when Sherry saved him. "We like each other," She said but as soon as the words left her lips she added, "No I mean, we're Boyfriend and girl, i mean Argh! Why does confessing have to be damnit hard!"
"Let me get this straight, bothe of you are officially boyfriend and girlfriend." Harry asked, his voice dangerously low. "Yes but it's not what you think. it isn't serious stuff! we just hang out together that's all!" Sherry said, her face magenta from blushing. Harry suddenly got up from his chair and dragged his sister across the room.
"What did you think you were doing!?" He asked, at a very annoyed Sherry.
"We weren't doing anything serious alright! We just like each other! it's like, young love!" Sherry shouted.
-d-d-d-d-d-d
After Harry and Sherry came back, wearing masks of annoyance and irrritation, the group went into Diagon Alley. They got their books at the Flourish and Blotts (with Harry and Sherry buying other intresting books) and then went to the Apothery where they bought their potions ingredients and bough their crystal phials, telescope and brass scales.
They headed to the quidditch store where they bought a qudditch kit, and went to Eeylops Emporium where Draco bought a magnificent brown owl while Harry and Sherry bought owl treats. They then headed to Madame Malkins where they their robes. This whole time, Draco was staring at Sherry, admiring how her hair flew in the wind whenever there was a breeze.
"Looks like our last stop is Ollivanders," Lucius said and were about to make their there when they came face to face with the Weasleys, Potters and surprise surprise, the Gringtons were also with them. the Weaselys had their three son and their only daughter with them which caused Draco and his parents to sneer at them.
The Potters had their only daughter with them, Amy to which Voldermort and Harry Sneered at. But lastly Were the Gringtons, with two children a brown haired girl and boy, the girls had blue eyes while the boy had brown eyes. This two children of Mr. and Mrs Grington were arrogant and they got whatever they wanted. They were the siblings of Sherry. Sherry sneered at them.
"Look at what we found, the weasel and the potters and, who are you lot?" Lucius sneered.
The Gringtons looked insulted, and were about to say something when Sherry intervened.
"Hello, you two must be Mary and Joshua Grington, it's so nice to meet you!" Sherry said with fake admiration.
"Do we know you?" Mary said.
"Oh you don't know me but i know you. Your that famous witch in Witch Weekly Magazine aren't you? I'm your biggest fan!" Sherry said, one hand at the her back making weird movements. Draco noticed this and deciphered it.
Sherry thought of hand signals to use whenever there's going to be a prank. Draco, walk up beside and ask if you can be friends with the idiotic boy, their my siblings or at least they used to. after he takes your hand fling him into those termite infested barrels out side Ollivanders.
Draco did just that. "Hi! I'm Sherry's best friend Draco Malfoy, " Draco said
"And I'm Sherylynn Riddle, but you can call me Sherry," Sherry said as she stuck out a hand to Mary. Draco stuck out a hand to Joshua, and the two of them immediately took their hands saying 'friends' when the prankers flung them into the barrels, which were infested with termites.
The siblings screamed and tried to get up only to lose their balance again. The Potters and Weasleys glared at the two of them, only to be met with their smug looks and and their high-fives. The two of them nodded suddenly, like they could read each other's minds.
"Hello, you must be the Weasleys. I's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard many stories from my uncle Lucius and he described that all of of you look, poor. But from what i see, you guys aren't that," Sherry said casually and met the Weasleys confused gazes. "Draco and i don't think your poor, we think your poor chickens!" Sherry exclaimed, barely managing to contain the burst of laughter that was threatening to come out, Draco unfortunately couldn't manage. He ended up rolling on the floor on enedless laughter, which was followed closely by Harry who got infected with his laughter.
"boy, you weasleys looked a lot like chickens when we pranked you when you were all I don't know, chicks!?" Sherry said as she finally doubled over and all over the floor. Draco only collapsed with laughter at the memory.
"You two were the ones who disorganized our homes?" Molly Weasley exclaimed.
"And dressed us up like chickens?" Fred and George exclaimed.
"Of course we did! You should've seen the look on your faces! You looked like this!"Draco said as he pointed to Harry, which Sherry magically turned him to look like he had a chicken costume on. This time, laughter broke out from the Malfoys and even Voldermort himself, as Sherry sent them that particular prank into their memory.
"Woah, you two already pranked us when-" Fred started
"We were five years old!" Draco said
"You know what George?" Fred asked
"Know what, fred?" Fred's twin asked.
"That we have to learn their skills," Fred started. "and that we have prank competition!" George finished. Sherry stopped laughing at once when she heard them say that.
"If you Weasels think that Draco and I will teach everything we know about pranking, we ain't telling." Sherry said, mischief twinkled in her eye. Draco got up too, recovered from laughing.
"If it's a competition you want, you're on." Draco said.
"Competition it is then."George said.
"Whoever doesn't get caught while doing this pranks is the master of pranks, or in your case, Master and Mistress of pranks."Fred said.
"and whoever loses will have to serve the winner for a two months in anything, one month for one person. and they will have to call the winners, 'supreme Masters of Pranks'." Sherry said, as Draco stuck out his hand as well as Sherry.
"Deal." the twins said in unison and shook hands with their competitors. All this time, nobody noticed the Potters standing there until Amy, being the brat she was finally said, "What are we, fish?"
"No, more like seals. You Potters didn't forget about your seal infested house did you?" Sherry said.
"You were the ones who did that?" Lily Potter exclaimed.
"Of course, in fact, all of those Pranks on both of your families were caused by yours truly, not forgetting Draco of course." Sherry said.
"Now if you'll excuse us, we really need to get going so we can recieve our wands from Ollivanders." Harry sneered at his ever so arrogant sister.
The three children walked their way around the other group with the adults falling behind. They finally entered Ollivanders.
-s-s-s-s-s-s-s
As Sherry and her family entered the wand shop, she immediately spotted the store keeper behind a shelve of wands. "You can come out now, Mr. Ollivander." she said as the said person emerged from behind the shleves.
of course! sheesh, he recieves customers every year, all recieving their first wands! Not that Harry and I don't have wands already, she thought as she rubbed her arm holster where her wand that her father gave to her was kept.
Mr. Ollivander measured their height, width, even between their noses. He gave her a wand and waved it, only to cause a shelve of wands to collapse. He took it from her and gave her another wand. She waved it again only that this time, Mr. Ollivander's remaining hair burnt away. Mr. Ollivanders didn't notice it only until she pointed it out. "Oops, sorry sir, but i accidently burnt your remaining hair," and he touched his head, to find that not a single strand of hair had survived the spell. His eye twitched in annoyance and gave her more wands to try, and she finally recieved the perfect wand for her after a pile of wands had appeared at Mr. Ollivanders back.
"Try this one. Ebony, dragon heart string, nice and suitable." He said as Sherry gave it a wave, which in turn made his hair grow back. He seemed quite happy though. Draco's wand was english oak, unicorn hair, slighty springy while Harry recieved his fathers brother wand. They paid for their wands a went outside.
"See you on September first Draco!" Sherry said.
"What!? That's one week until we see each other again!" he protested.
"It's two weeks away Dray, you seriously need to be more patient." Sherry retorted.
"We'll meet on September one again, Lucius, Narcissa. Good day to you." Voldermort said and walked off to the Leaky Cauldron where they apparated back to Riddle manor. Once they arrived there, Sherry wasted no time going to her room to take care of the numerous pets she now had. When she got there, her pets were all sleeping, with her kitten which she named 'Carmel' sleeping peacefully on her bed.
She packed her trunk and walked over to her personal library and took out one of her new books which she received from Blaise. It was an interesting book, and it's title read 'The days of Merlin' . She read through the thick book which was all about Merlins days. Her imagination of herself in her mind groaned when 'mini Sherry' remembered there was still Morgana's old days.
i don't get why you read this thick books! mini Sherry exclaimed.
knowledge is power and besides, i like reading. This book is really interesting, it even has spells which merlin invented himself. main Sherry thought
i suppose your thinking that Morgana's also has her own spells?
Yes, and i can't wait to read them up and learn them all.
your a nerd you know that?
which also means your one too since basically your also me.
shut up.
and with that, Sherry was left to read her book and practice the spells.
Done! who do you guys think will win the prank contest? The twins or Draco and Sherry. Oh well, thank you to all of you who have liked this tory so far! and sadly, i won't be able to update very fast starting today since it's back to school! with my school ending at 4.30 i don't know how i'll manage. i'll try to update as fast as i can but in the mean time, be patient.
