Authors note: Thanks to everyone who's reading this :) Guys I've totally decided what my animagus/patronus would be: Emma Watson! I could transform into her whenever I wanted to be famous, it would be great! BTW that was actually me acting in the last few movies ;) Just Kidding you guys! My real animagus would be an owl because it just seems like the most practical thing to become. No one questions an owl just hanging about because they're everywhere! You could easily infiltrate anywhere even spy on people you don't like and no one would question just another owl. Plus you could intercept death eater's mail and stuff. I just would totally want that to be my patronus. BTW incase any of you were wondering I meant to say this a long time ago but if you haven't read my bio, according to Pottermore I'm a Ravenclaw! So yay Ravenclaw! Anyway enough about me... back to Kim!

Chapter 5: Reunion on Diagon Alley

Kim hadn't imagined spending her Saturday morning babysitting. It was two weeks before school started and the Malfoys had been happy enough to fund Kim's school supply list as long as she took Scorpius along with her. Scorpius was a little too excited to be on Diagon Alley. He insisted Kim buy him ice cream and tried to trick her into a new owl but she figured her godparents might not be to happy with her if their son came home with a live bird.

After buying her books for year two at Hogwarts, Kim felt a little guilty that she again had to rely on someone else to pay the way. It wasn't like she'd be able to even if her parents still accepted her but she'd figured out later that last year when Donovan had told her the school funded new students, he'd really just been paying out of his own pocket book. It made it all more worse when she still hadn't heard from him at all since the wedding. Maybe he'd already left for Austria without saying goodbye.

It was in Madam Malkin's' Robes for all Occasions that Kim spotted some familiar faces. Cherokee and Leisel were shopping together for new scarves to wear during the winter time.

"Hey guys," Cherokee smiled. She was wearing a sunny tank top and shorts, her short black hair was pushed back with a daisy headband. "How are you guys?" she asked.

"Great!" Diamond said as she hugged the other two girls. "You guys won't believe it. Kim found her godfather and his this really rich guy who owns a mansion."

"No way," said Leisel. "Can we come over?"

Liesel was wearing a baggy grey t shirt and jeans. Her curly brown hair hung down over her shoulders.

Kim laughed. "I'm not actually staying there right now," she explained. "I decided to stay with Diamond at least for the rest of the summer since that was the original plan."

"Kim, Kim," Scorpius said as he ran up to her and tugged on her sleeve. "Can we please go into Weasley's Wizard Wheezes now? Please?"

Cherokee raised an eyebrow. "Kim you didn't tell us you had a little brother."

Kim blushed. "Oh, he's not my brother. This is Scorpius, my godfather's son. He's going to be at Hogwarts next year," she explained.

"Cool, well we were about to go into Weasley's Wizard Wheezes," said Cherokee. "Need to reload for year two at Hogwarts."

Kim purchased the new robes with the money from the Malfoys and realized she didn't have much left but she needed these new robes as her old ones were starting to look shabby.

"Do we really need to get in trouble again?" grumbled Kim as they walked out the door

towards the big flashing sign.

"Oh Kim," Cherokee said as she mockingly threw her arm over her shoulder. "The rules were meant to be broken."

A little bell tinkled as the entered and Kim was delighted to see the store was filled to the brim with all sorts of toys, wizzers, poppers, any kind of thing that made noise. There were shelves crammed with puking pastilles, Berty Botts, weird assortments of pets. A man with a bit of a belly and bright ginger hair appeared as a latter came down from above and even through the shop was rather crowded, he came straight to Scorpius.

"Hello Scorpius," said the man, as he crouched to look the boy in the eye.

"Weasley," Scorpius sneered in response.

Kim was rather taken back by this approach. She hadn't expected Scorpius to want to come in here just to poke fun at the manager.

Just then another boy with very similar features and the same flame colored hair that was going silver at the top appeared from a different ladder and handed Scorpius a packaged toy.

"There you go Scorpius," said the older man fondly. "Our newest line of Pixel Pockets, enjoy!"

"Oh shove off it George," said the other man.

"That's a good little demon," the older manager, George said as he patted Scorpius's head affectionately.

Finally Kim, utterly lost and confused by the grown up's behavior cleared her throat as delicately as possible.

"Oh I'm sorry miss," said George. "Welcome to Weasley Wizard Wheezes. I'm George, the real owner of this shop and this is my brother Ron who sometimes pretends he's the co owner but really he should be at the ministry right now working as an auror." George said the last bit much louder than the rest and directed it to his brother.

"Kim, Ron doesn't like me," Scorpius sniffled.

Kim wrapped her arm around his shoulder and tried to comfort him.

"That little faker," said Ron stubbornly. "Come in here and takes whatever he wants."

"Not true!" said Scorpio breaking character. "Leave it to a Weasley to make it so easy to steal stuff."

Ron narrowed his eyebrows and charged at the boy. "Come here you," he said and chased him around the shop.

"Just wait 'til my father hears about this!" Kim heard Scorpius squeal as he ran through the aisles.

George laughed and shook his head.

"Sorry about that ladies," he said. "It's all good natured fun. There's a little bit of history between the Malfoy's and us."

Just then a woman entered the shop behind the girls. She was very pretty Kim realized, long brown hair and dressed very professionally in a grey blazer and her hair pulled back in a sleek ponytail.

"Oh hello George," said the woman upon seeing Kim and the store owner. "Have you seen Ronald?"

"I think he's trying to kill the Malfoy boy again," said George rolling his eyes.

The woman sighed and gripped her briefcase impatiently. "Will he ever grow up!" she exclaimed. "Honestly I'm sorry but he needs to stop helping out around the store. We need him back the ministry. There's been another attack and Harry and I-" the woman stopped herself as she seemed to of just realized that Kim and her friends were listening. "Nevermind," she said. "Ronald!" she called. "Ron get over here right now."

The woman walked off, obviously upset.

"Again my apologies," said George. "That's my brother's wife, Hermione. I'm hoping whatever she's talking about isn't too serious. Anyway, feel free to look around, oh and don't break anything."

Kim's mind was spinning. Another attack? Had she meant another as in another dark mark like from Uncle Donovan's wedding or was it something else?

Kim's thoughts were interrupted as her friends perused the aisles of goodies, pranks and more things to lands them a month's worth of detention, not something Kim was looking forward to. Scorpius was a little down because Ron had left very shortly after his wife had arrived. He kept clinging to Kim side like a little kid which she wasn't use to. Kim didn't have experience with a younger sibling because she was the youngest in the family. It felt kind of strange to be in charge.

After checking out and making sure that she and Diamond had absolutely everything they needed for the school year, Kim used the floo network to get back into Malfoy Manor. After dropping a very hyper ten year old off at his house, Kim went back to Diamonds were they again hid upstairs from all the leather clad creepy guys in her house and waited. Only two more weeks until Hogwarts, Kim thought excitedly.
