Hello all! I am truly thrilled you like the last chapter! I am sorry for my mistakes, such as not reading it over for spelling mistakes or missing words. I have been very busy as of lately so I will post the chapters as quickly as possible then go back and revise it.
I know I have Draco and Draco act to old and it's annoying, I just couldn't see a Malfoy acting like a small child. It's annoying to me as well but I live near a high class neighborhood and my friend's little brother if five and he acts twelve because of how high up in the food chain their family is.
This chapter has a lot of details from the book so that's why it may seem familiar; like Harry's acceptance letter.
I hope you enjoy this chapter as well!

Harry's eyes grew wide at Draco's answer and looked down to the cream letter in his hands.
"Go on, Baby, open it." Harry looked back up to Draco who was in the process of putting the book he was reading away.
Harry's hands trembled as he did as he was told and broke the seal on the back of the letter. Inside was a piece of parchment folded nicely so it fit into the envelope. Harry grabbed the parchment, without hast, and took it out. When he opened it another piece of parchment fell out.
Harry picked up the second and read it before the one that was already unfolded in his hands.
"Dray?"
"Hmm?"
"What's The Leaky Cauldron?" Harry looked to his friend and said friend whipped his head around to Harry.
"What?" Draco was stumped, how did he know about that?
"The Leaky Cauldron." Harry repeated then gave his letter to Draco, said Malfoy read the letter.

There was no name and Draco searched everywhere. He could have figured out the person by the handwriting but it wasn't handwriting. It looked as if was typed on a muggle typewriter. He looked back up from the letter and handed it to Harry.
"It's one of the entrances to Diagon Ally." Harry's eyes lit up with glee and stared back down to the letter then back up to Draco quickly.
"That's the place where you shop for your magic things, right?" Harry looked as if he was going to bounce through the roof; Draco chuckled at is mate but nodded.
"One of the places, yes." At that Harry's eyes grew wider.
"You mean there's more than one place?" Draco looked at him with an amused look.
"Of course there's more, Baby. What did you even learn these past few years? On second thought, don't answer that." Harry stuck out his tongue at Draco then looked back to his letter.
"I mean I knew there were a lot of witches and wizards but to have more than one magical place to shop." Harry was more talking to himself father then Draco.
"Baby, if every magical being shopped in Diagon Ally there would be no room to breathe let alone shop." The Malfoy was about to burst out laughing because of how confused Harry looked. But then it looked as Harry's light bulb went on and he nodded with a smile; as if he couldn't believed he though his thought a moment ago.
Draco rolled his eyes. He then snatched Harry's acceptance letter out of his hand and looked at it.
"Hey!" Harry lunged toward the eleven year old with his arms out stretched. Draco just scooted back a few inches and Harry landed on the bed with his arms above his head and his face planted into the mattress. All Draco did was look over the top of the parchment for a moment then looked back down.
Harry sputtered then sat up and pouted as he crossed his arms, knowing he wouldn't get his letter until Draco was done. Soon, though, Draco was apparently satisfied with what he read and gave the letter to its owner. Said owner quickly grabbed it out of his hands and huffed then looked down to read what it said.

Harry read the letter with interest then looked up to Draco who was reading the list again over his shoulder.
"Dray, I already have all this stuff. Didn't I just finish One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi?" Draco nodded to Harry's question then took the letter out of his hand and put it back in the envelope along with the other note and folded the flap inside.
"Remember, Baby, you're not supposed to know about magic so you're going to have to act either stupid or like you pick up on things really quickly. Personally, I think you should chose the first; Sev's going to be our potions professor and he knows when someone's lying about not reading a book before." Harry looked down to the envelope that Draco sat on the bed.
H forgot about the fact that he wasn't allowed to know about magic or Draco when he went to school. He just knew he was going to be lonely this year.
"Baby, you have to make friends when were there, okay?" Harry looked up because his friend's voice sounded pleading and he rarely used that tone of voice.
"Okay Dray, which people should I not be friends with?" Draco's head tilted this time.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean your family talks to certain people and others they ignore so which should I ignore?" Draco chuckled and burst out in a smile and hugged Harry; Harry just blinked at the ceiling in confusion until Draco let go.
"Baby, I don't want you to be friends who my family deems 'worthy'. Be friends with whoever you choose. But I will tell you now; I have to be mean to you and your friends."
"Why?"
"Well, because my society expects of me." Draco rubbed his neck, feeling somewhat guilty. "And I know what type of people you'd choose as friends so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a muggleborn."
"Is that bad?" Draco quickly shook his head.
"Oh no, it's not bad but my society looks down on muggleborns so that would mean I'd have to be mean to you." Harry fidgeted where he sat; not liking the fact that Draco had to be mean to him and future friends.
"You won't yell at me though, will you?"
"Course not, Baby. I'll just tease and taunt you a bit; but you have to remember that none of its true. I know you'll get angry at me for saying a few things sometimes but I never will mean them." Harry now felt like the guilty one. He also knew he'd get angry and Draco for saying mean things but his hands were tied.
For a third party member reading their thoughts it would be funny that they both felt guilty for things they hadn't done yet.
"It's okay, Dray, we'll live through it." For the first time in a long time the two sat in an awkward silence. A crash that echoed throughout the house made both jump and it broke the tense air. Harry smiled over to Draco who smiled in return. But soon Harry's face changed into one that looked like he had a puzzle he had to figure out.
"Dray?"
"Yes?"
"How am I going to get to The Leaky Cauldron?"The wheels in Draco's head started to spin at that and he began to think as well. Dumbledore thought that Harry still lived with his relieves and they had to keep it that way.
Finally his light bulb turned on and he smiled at Harry.
"Leave that to me."

One month later; July 30th
"Are you sure this will work, Dray?" Harry currently stood where the letter told him to meet someone and Draco stood next to him, facing the opposite direction. Making it look as if he was someone waiting for the bus.
"It will. Baby. We're at a bus stop so they won't know it's me." Harry stood next to the bus stop sign, leaning on it. He looked extremely nervous and fidgety, Draco thought he should be. He was about to be picked up by a total stranger then thrown into the wizarding world. Harry, though, was extremely grateful that Draco came with him to get picked up.
Harry looked toward the place Draco said was The Leaky Cauldron and waited for something to say this person was going to pick him up or that they were magic. He didn't have to wait long because soon he saw a man taller than anyone sticking out of the crowds.
"That's Hagrid." Draco leaned closer to Harry to look as if he stumbled as he spoke. "He's half giant and father doesn't like him at all. He is very nice, though, you will like him." Harry turned to Draco his eyes wide.
"Half giant?" They were lucky Hagrid was far enough away that he didn't hear Harry. All Draco did was nod then looked the other direction. He bent down at pretended to look like he grabbed something. Then handed Harry what was in his hand.
"Good luck, Baby." He smiled brightly at his best mate then dropped Harry's hand and walked the other direction, looking back once giving Harry another bright smile. Harry watched as Draco disappeared into the crowds but swore he saw Oriana wave to him from afar.
He looked to his hand and smiled softly to himself; it was his dragon necklace. He'd been so nervous for today he slept and showered at Draco's manor this morning. He probably forgot it on his friend bathroom counter after he took his shower.
He quickly put it on before the man named Hagrid reached him. He turned his head to look in another direction so the half-giant wouldn't catch on that Harry knew he was coming to get him. The man walked up right in front of Harry and beamed.
"Ello Harry!" The booming voice said. Harry looked up to the man whose eyes sparkled in delight.
"Las' time I saw you, you was only a baby. Yeh look like yer dad except yer eyes, yer mom's eyes they are." Harry smiled at the man that obviously knew who he was.
"H-hello." Harry stuttered out but was thrilled that this man knew him when he was small. He started to notice people staring at him and the giant and fidgeted.
"Let's get yer to The Leaky Cauldron." Hagrid picked up the large suitcase that Harry forgot he had next to him and turned around and walked to same way he came; only this time he had Harry in tow. Harry walked in the man's shadow, keeping his head down and following the giant.
He stared at the brown coat in front of him when the man stopped and then he looked up and saw the black sign that Draco said was the sign to The Leaky Cauldron. By magic a few moments later it read 'The Leaky Cauldron'.
"Come on 'arry." Harry's head snapped back to the now empty space in front of him except an open door. He stepped up into the dark building and looked around. Smoke lingered in the air and Harry saw a few people mingling in the corner drinking, what Harry believed to be, beer. Some sat on stools and some just walked around with the cups in hand.
A few children sat at a table with a woman that resembled them; probably their mother. And a man stood at the bar wiping off a foggy glass with a rag.
When he and Hagrid stepped further in all the chattering stopped and some people waved at Hagrid with a smile and others went back to their mingling.
"The usual, Hagrid?" The bartender was reaching for another glass as he said this; the glass much bigger than the one in his hands.
"No thanks, Tom, I'm on Hogwarts business." Harry's knees buckled with the force of the pat to his shoulder that Hagrid gave him. He knew it wasn't on purpose and Hagrid didn't even give a second thought to tapping Harry but he was very large and the weight of his hand was probably more than Oriana at the moment.
"Good Lord," Harry looked to the shocked bartender named Tom after he got his sense of balance back. The man looked as if he was going to have a heart attack. "Could it be-?"
All the people in The Leaky Cauldron stopped and turned to look at them. One could hear a pin drop it was so silent. Harry knew this was coming because Draco told him that everyone would be ecstatic to have the-boy-who-lived back.
Draco also told him not to resent the people who saw him and came up to him excitedly.
"You're there hero, Baby, and you've been missing for eleven years." Harry heard Draco's sentence in his head. He was happy to make other people happy but he knew in that moment that he was not going to like being in the spot light.
"Bless my soul." Tom dropped his glass and a loud shatter echoed in the silent room. No one turned to look at the sound, though, as Tom ran around the bar to stand in front of Harry. Harry looked up to look at his face and heard the man let out a gasp as he covered his mouth.
"It is! It's Harry Potter." The man whispered out excitedly and Harry heard the whole room gasp. "It's an honor to meet you." He dropped his hand from his face had put in front of Harry's to shake. He timidly took Tom's hand and said man shook vigorously once Harry's hand was in his.
Soon Harry heard scrapes of chairs and feet against wood as people surrounded him; Hagrid was beaming and went to sit at the bar.
"Such an honor, Mr. Potter." One said next to him as they patted his shoulder.
"Lisa Holbrook, Mr. Potter, very happy you're back." A woman with curly hair shook his hand with a mother's touch. He couldn't help but think that it was much better then Tom's hand shake.
"I've always wanted to meet you, Mr. Potter." A man with a brown beard patted his shoulder like the other person did a while ago. Harry shook hands and smiled at people for a while until Hagrid told them that Harry wasn't on display. The audience around him blushed and walked back to what they were doing. Only this time they all looked at Harry as they spoke.
Harry was about to step forward to where Hagrid and his suitcase sat but a pull of his shirt stopped him. He looked down and a girl, that looked maybe two years younger than himself, was looking up at him with bright violet eyes. He knelt down to look her in the eyes, he could have stayed standing since he wasn't that tall but he did anyway.
"Yes?" The little girl squeaked and started to play with her fingers.
"Y-you're Harry Potter, right?" She whispered quietly to him but Harry was sure that the whole pub was silent so they all heard her question. Harry nodded to her and smiled brightly at her.
"I am." The little girl beamed at him then looked as if she was thinking something over. Then, suddenly, Harry had an armful of the little girl.
"Thank you for saving my daddy." She said into his ear and Harry was positive only he heard her speak. A moment later someone gave a cry of surprise.
"Alicia, what do you think you are doing?" Harry heard the cry but all he did was hug the little girl back. A moment passed and the girl broke the hug and smiled at Harry again. The pub was as silent as when the girl hugged him but now there was a tense air to it.
A blond woman walked up and put her hand on the little girl's shoulder and squeezed.
"I'm sorry Mr. Potter." Harry smiled at the woman assuringly as he stood up from where he was.
"Not at all." He smiled back down to the little girl. "In fact can I borrow her for a moment?" He looked up to the mother questioningly. Said mother looked surprised at his question but nodded. He looked back down to the girl named Alicia and held out his hand.
"Will you come with me? I want to show you something," Alicia beamed and put her hand into his. He turned and walked with the girl a few feet to where Hagrid sat; he felt every eye in the pub on him and the girl. He stopped in front of the flabbergasted giant and knelt down again to grab his suitcase.
He let go of Alicia's hand and opened his trunk. He didn't open it all the way so the pub couldn't see the contents of said trunk but he did grab something for it and shut it. He turned to the girl with violet eyes and beamed at her.
He held out one of Draco's old plush dragons; it was a muggle. She, along with the entire pub looked to the plushy.
"This is one of my favorite stuffed animals. I got him when I was very small and lonely; he was one of the first presents I ever got and my one of my closest friends. I named him Draco because it means dragon in Latin and I once heard that Draco could protect me wherever I went."
He grabbed Alicia's hands and put Draco into the, and curled her fingers around its leg and body.
"I think Draco should be yours so he could protect you." The violet eyes widened and looked to Harry with something that looked like shock, surprise, and disbelief in her eyes. His unwrapped her hands from his and smiled brightly at her.
"Make sure you take good care of him so he can protect you." He stood up at that and he was maybe a head taller than her at his standing height. She smiled up at him and hugged him again; this time with the white dragon in her hands.
"I will! I promise!" Alicia unwrapped her arms from around him and ran toward the woman Harry deemed her mother. She didn't look to her daughter, though, she was looking toward Harry with and open mouth along with everyone else that was in the building.
Finally she snapped out of it and looked to her daughter who was smiling and laughing like she was just told she was princess of the world. She showed off her new dragon to her mother then hugged it close to her. The woman smiled to Alicia then looked to Harry and mouthed 'Thank you' all Harry did was smile back.
He was aware of the eyes that were on him but those eyes quickly looked away when Hagrid cleared his throat.
"Tom, were gonna be needin' two rooms fer the night." The loud voice with a heavy accent boomed in the quiet pub. The bar tender nodded and grabbed two keys from seemingly nowhere and put them on the counter.
"One galleon and two Knuts." Hagrid dug into one of his many pockets and he took out a few odd looking things before two small brown coins and one gold one were in his hand. He set the coins on the counter and put the things back in his pocket.
He turned and handed Harry a key that said 24 on it. He didn't question what the coins were since Draco had given him some just in case he needed it when he came but told him if he did need it to lie about where he got it. Harry nodded to himself about the mental reminder of the money in his never ending bag that that in his trunk.
"We'll go shopping tomorrow, 'Arry." The giant stood up from the stool and picked up Harry's suitcase. He turned and walked to the stairs nestled in the corner of the pub and Harry took that as his cue to follow.
He felt the eyes as and Hagrid walked up the stairs and then disappeared out of their sight.
"Sorry 'bout that Harry." The giant said in a gruff voice. "Was nice what yeh did for the little girl."
"It's okay Hagrid." Harry spoke to the giant he knew he was going to be friends with. He then asked a question he already knew the answer to. "Why were they like that?"
"Because yer famous Harry." The giant stopped in front of a door with the number 24 on it.
"But why am I famous, Hagrid?" Hagrid shuffled his feet and looked down.
"I don't think I'm the one to tell yer, Harry." After he said he set Harry's suitcase down and reached in his pocket again. When it came back out he put his hand on Harry's trunk and when he picked his hand back up a few Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts rest on the top.
"If yer need anything use these." And with that he walked a few steps down the hall and unlocked a door to his right. But before he stepped in he turned to Harry. "Well go shoppin' tomorrow 'bout noon but I'll see yer at dinner 'arry."
Harry turned to his own door when Hagrid shut his. He unlocked the door and put the magical currency into his pocket as he dragged his trunk into the room. When he shut the door he looked at the plain room. It was a lot less than he expected from a magical hotel but then again his magical standards were pretty high because the Malfoy's were the richest magical family.
When he thought over it he rather like the plain room now; it was quant. He dragged his suitcase close to his bed and hopped onto the bed. He unlatched the top and dug under his clothes until his hand found the thing he was looking for.
He pulled the paper bag out of the case and opened it. He put the money in it then put his hand in it, searching for a diamond shape sliver. He brought it out when his hand found it and looked at the surface of the mirror; Draco's canopy bed was the image he saw.
"Dray?" He spoke quietly and the image changed shape quickly into a picture of Draco.
"Hello, Baby! How was it?" His friend smiled at him and he mirrored his action.
"It was fine. I was surrounded by people for a few minutes and I gave one of your dragons to a little girl. I hope that's okay!" Harry quickly felt guilty that he gave one of Draco's dragons to another but his guilt was eased when Draco chuckled.
"It's okay Baby, it was your dragon anyway. I gave it to you, remember?" Harry felt loads better when he was talking to Draco. In fact as Draco spoke Harry tried to stifle a yawn.
"Get some sleep Baby." Harry shook his head vigorously.
"But I'm talking to you Dray."
"Baby, you got no sleep last night. I know you're tired." Draco gave his best 'you better do what I say' voice and Harry didn't put up a fight after that.
"MK," Harry let his yawn out this time. "Ask your mom to go shopping tomorrow, that's when Hagrid's taking me."
"When?"
"About noon." Harry was quickly falling into unconsciousness and he almost dropped the two way mirror.
"Okay, I will. Night, Baby, sweet dreams." Draco said to Harry loudly so Harry would hear his response.
"Night Dray." He was awake enough to put the mirror back in the brown bag and out it in his suitcase before he rolled over and pulled the blankets over him as he fell asleep.
~This is a time skip~
Next morning
"Harry! Harry!" Was the voice that woke him up. He shoved the blankets to his feet and jumped up to answer the knocking at his door. He pulled the door open and Hagrid stood there looking down to him.
"Hello Hagrid."
"Ello Harry didn't see yeh at dinner yesterday." Harry rubbed the back of his head and spoke sheepishly.
"Yea, I know, I was really tired and slept right through it; sorry." Hagird boomed out a laugh that sounded ten times as loud as it probably was because of how quiet it was.
"It's okay 'arry. Just wanted ter wake yeh for breakfast before we go shoppin'." Harry smiled at the giant.
"Thank you Hagrid. I'll meet you down there after I get dressed." Hagrid nodded and Harry shut his door as he turned and walked down the hall. He quickly chose his outfit for the day and put it on. Just a pair of blue jeans and a tee shirt accompanied by his sneakers but no one would see the shirt or top of his jeans since he put on the large green hoodie Draco gave him all those years ago.
He walked out of the room with his key in hand along with the money Hagrid and Draco gave him. He walked toward the stairs mentally preparing himself for the new round of stares and whispering when he walked into the room; Draco's jacket feeling like a safety blanket around him.
He stepped out into the open room and walked down the stairs to where Hagrid sat. Just like he predicted the room when silent and people stared at him. He sat in the vacant chair across from Hagrid's and saw a plate of pancakes and eggs sitting in front of him; hot chocolate was steaming in a mug as well.
"I didn't know what yeh liked Harry. Hope its okay." Hagrid's rough voice was heard behind the Daily Prophet. Harry looked to the moving photos and smiled softly to the paper. One because of Hagrid's kind deed, two because Draco and his family made the front page.
"Thank you, Hagrid." After saying those words he dug into his food with gusto.
~This is a line break~
"We got lots ter buy so we better get a move on." Hagrid said after they both finished their meals. Harry nodded taking one last sip of his coco and thanked the server who picked up their dishes. Sid server looked as if he might squeal like a little girl after Harry spoke.
Harry followed the half-giant to a small courtyard in the back of the pub. Nothing special was there; all there was were two trash cans and a brick wall. He watched as Hagrid tapped the wall with his umbrella and mumbled to himself.
"Three up…. Four across…." He mumbled then a voiced yelled out.
"Remember, Hagrid, it's two across!"
"Thanks Tom!" The giant yelled back then tapped the wall three times. Hagrid stepped back and Harry watched the bricks start to move and make a small hole that steadily grew larger until there was an archway in front of them. Harry's eyes widened and his mouth moved into a smile.
'No wonder Draco said no one would be able to breathe if every magical being shopped here.' Harry thought to himself. It was crowded as it is.
Owls flew over head with packages tied to their legs or letters in their mouths, shops hand things moving and singing to grab the attention of the people shopping, hundreds of people crowded the ally as they walked and shopped, and Harry swore it was louder than any other place he'd ever been to before.
"Welcome to Diagon Ally Harry!" He flowed the giant as he stepped into the crowded ally; he turned and saw that archway disappear and turn into a brick wall one again.
Signs were posted everywhere saying things about prices and rare items. Children were standing at a window gawking at the broom model Harry knew Draco wanted. They were talking rapidly and animatedly about the Nimbus 2000. Some were showing off their broomstick knowledge others were just drooling over the broom.
He heard a woman next to him complain about the price of dragon liver.
"Twelve Sickles a pound. That's outrageous!" Harry chuckled to himself and looked around rapidly. He knew he was going to be here a lot after this but he couldn't help it; he wanted to see everything.
"Harry, we've got ter get yer money before we get anything." Harry looked up to Hagrid whose head was turned slightly so he looked back to Harry.
"But I haven't gotten any." Harry lied through his teeth not wanting Hagrid to know about the money Draco gave him.
"Yes yer do. It's right in there." Harry followed the outstretched arm pointing to a crooked bank. They walked toward said building and walked to the bronze doors.
"That's a goblin, 'arry." Hagrid whispered quietly so the goblin wouldn't hear. The goblin bowed and opened the door for the two. They walked in and reached another set of doors, this time they were silver and an engraving was on them.
Enter, Stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
They both walked into the doors and Harry wondered what kind of other thing the person would find under the floors.
"Yeh'd be mad to try and rob this place." Harry wondered if Hagrid could read his mind and shook his head and laughed to himself at the thought. He walked behind Hagrid as he walked up to a goblin who was stamping things.
"Good morning," The goblin stopped working and looked to Hagrid.
"Yes, may I help you?" Was its icy reply.
"Mr. Harry Potter would like to make a withdrawal." The goblin nodded to Hagrid and looked down to Harry.
"And dose Mr. Harry Potter have his key?" Hagrid started patting himself at that and started to dig into one of his pockets. After a few moments a small gold key was in his large hand when it reappeared.
"There's the little bugger." He sat the key down and gave it to the goblin. It inspected the key and nodded.
"Very well." Before it could say another word Hagrid handed him a letter.
"This is from Dumbledore asking for you-know-what in vault seven hundred and thirteen." The goblin took the note but didn't even open it as he handed it back to Hagrid.
"Very well, I'll have someone take you right away. Griphook!" Another elf came running out of a room a few meters away and stood in front of the goblin who beckoned him.
"Take these two to vault six hundred and eighty seven as well as vault seven hundred and thirteen." The goblin handed the other Harry's gold key and it nodded.
"Follow me." It said in a monotone voice and Harry and Hagrid followed as instructed. It opened a small cart that was attached to railroads in a small, cold room that Harry was surprised to see. Everything was all marble, silver, gold, or any other expensive type of décor; it looked out of place to him.
They climbed in and when they were all settled the goblin did something and they were off. Harry looked over to Hagrid that looked a bit green.
"What's on vault seven one three?"
"Can't tell yeh, Hogwarts business." Hagrid quickly said it then closed his mouth so bile wouldn't come out his throat.
"Vault six hundred and eighty seven." The monotone voice broke through the silence. Hagrid looked like he couldn't get out of the cart fast enough as Harry and the goblin flowed slowly behind. It took Harry's key and unlocked a door attached to some rock.
Some dust flew up but Harry could see inside and his mouth dropped. There were heaps of money; heaps! Galleons, Sickles, Knuts, and other various treasures where what was behind door number one.
"It's all yer's Harry." Harry was flabbergasted that he had this much money this whole time; he could pay back Draco!
"The gold ones are called Galleons, they equal seventeen Sickles; those would be the silver ones." Harry listened to Hagrid's explanation of what he already knew as he was given a bag from the goblin and gathered some of the money.
"It's twenty nine Knuts to a Sickle." Harry gathered a few handfuls of each but took less of the Galleons then the other two, and less of the Sickles then Knuts. "Right then, that should be plenty to get yeh threw a few terms and yeh school supplies." Harry walked out with the bag full of money, that he just found out he had, in his hand and climbed back into the cart.
They soon were zooming off again and Harry was spacing out when the monotone voice broke his thoughts once again.
"Vault seven hundred and thirteen." This time only the goblin and Hagrid got out; since it was Hogwarts business Harry thought it best to stay in the cart. He did watch, though, as the goblin stroked the lock of the door and it melted away.
It opened the door and Hagrid was too wide for him to see exactly what was in it but when he turned only a small, round package was in his hand.
"Best not tell anyone about this, Harry." He put the package in his pocket and Harry nodded. The goblin and Hagrid stepped back into the cart and they were off once more.
~This is a line break~
Harry stepped out of Gringotts and shielded his eyes at the bright sunlight that hit his dilated eyes. He didn't know what to get first, what he needed to get, or even where to get it. In that moment he wished Draco was there with him.
"Yeh might as well get yer uniform while were over here." He motioned to a store that read Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Harry was about to walk over to the store when Hagrid stopped him.
"Harry, I got ter get back to The Leaky Cauldron fer something. I'll be back before yeh know I'm gone." Harry was nervous to be all alone but nodded to the giant anyway. Hagrid smiled at him and walked toward the brick wall that lead to The Leaky Cauldron.
Harry inhaled, nervously, and walked to the shop; his legs felt like jello with sticks. He stepped into the shop and the woman Harry assumed was Madam Malkin was running around gathering fabrics when she stopped to look at Harry.
"Hogwarts, dear?" Harry nodded when his throat failed him.
"Well follow me, there's lot that need to be fitted. In fact there's a boy being fitted right now. He must be in your year." Harry realized half way through she was more so talking to herself then Harry.
Harry followed the woman back to the rooms where mirrors and footstools were lined up. If Harry didn't already know about magic he would have wondered how much space the small shop had inside of it.
A boy that was facing away from Harry was standing on a foot stool. Harry stepped on the one next to him thinking that his hair looked a lot liked Draco's. He boy then turned and looked into the mirror at the noise next to him.
Both pairs of eyes in the room widened and Harry gasped as Draco's eyes stared into his from the reflection of the glass.
