Chapter 3

"Well, were shall we go to first Harry?" Sirius asked.

Harry was too busy gazing around the crowded alley of Diagon Alley. He had been so lost in the ambiance and the shops around that he couldn't help but grin at the sight before.

"HARRY!"

Harry then stopped looking around and looked back at his godfather.

"Where would you like to go first?" Sirius asked for a second time.

"I don't know why don't we go down the list one by one." Harry suggested.

"Well before anything I need money from Gringotts so why don't you wait here for me until I get back." Sirius said.

Harry went back to gazing the entire alley one store in particular which had caught his interest. He couldn't see it properly so he had walked a bit closer until he saw the sign of the shop.

"Madame Mal-OOF!" Someone or something had crashed into Harry saw the boxes splattered on the ground around him.

"Oh my god! I am so sorry. Are you okay?" some female voice called out.

"Yeah I'm…" was all he could manage to say before he saw the source of the female voice; a cute girl with bushy hair and brown eyes. Her hair colour was dirty blonde and she had very cute features about her face which Harry couldn't help staring at. After realizing that he had been staring at the girl for a while he finally decided to break the ice.

"Hi" he said softly.

The girl giggled and said "Hi" in the similar fashion.

The girl then started lifting the boxes off of Harry. Harry immediately got up and helped out though he kept glancing at the girl. She had collected as many as she could and had gotten up Harry had gotten up as well and handed her the boxes he had collected.

She giggled one more time and said "Thank You, and again I'm so-"

"It's fine" Harry cut in before the girl could make a proper apology. Harry gave her a one sided smirk and watched the girl as she was about to leave.

"Wait!" Harry called while chasing down the girl. When he caught up to her he took on deep breath and asked "You never told me your name"

"It's Hermione" she said smiling at Harry.

"I'm Harry, Harry Potter" he said, hoping that this one time his fame could be of some use. She then did something that Harry never expected; she extended her hand out and said "It's nice to meet you Harry Potter". Harry then extended his own hand and shook her soft ones

"The pleasure is all mine" he said, earning him another giggle and a blush too.

"I've got to head back, perhaps I will see you around in Hogwarts" she said.

"Sure, definitely. If you don't mind me asking what year are you?"

"It will be my first year there" she said. Harry wanted to immediately jump and yell "YES!" but he was surprisingly able to keep his excitement to himself by saying "No way! It's my first time too. Anyways I wouldn't want to keep you Hermione. I'll see you later, goodbye" with another one sided smirk.

"Goodbye" she answered with a smile of her own, before turning back to. Harry didn't know how to explain his feelings. He has had so many crushes in his lifetime, why did this one suddenly feel so different. That is when Harry realized he didn't have a crush. For the first time of his life Harry had discovered love.

Realizing that he had been gazing the same direction for a while he decided to turn back to the area he was previously standing, it was then that Harry noticed something shining on ground. As he moved closer to it, it looked more and more like a gold ornament of some sort. It was until he picked it up that he realized it was a plain gold bracelet that had writing engraved on it, which said 'For HJG Happy Birthday Princess'.

"H?...J?...G?" Harry asked, while running a finger over the engraved writing. "Could this be hers?" he asked himself, thinking about the girl he had just met.

"Harry?" Sirius called.

Harry had swiftly turned so that he could hide the golden bracelet in his pocket.

"Yeah" Harry answered back. Sirius then gave Harry a what-are-you-up-to look.

"We should start shopping for your supplies. Your wand will be last, let's get your vial set first" Sirius said.

"Alright" Harry said while looking back one more time.

AN: Sorry for the delay. I had gotten a new laptop and I was having a little bit of fun with it, and was breaking it in with a Harry Potter marathon followed by Lord of the Rings. The next chapter will be the most exciting one I promise. As always Rate and Review.
