CHAPTER 10

Sirius grins when Madame Malkin disappears to find another robe, giving it to Phoebe, mumbling something about professors being smaller than students.

"It's not my fault we're short!"

She looks over at Sirius who can hardly contain his laughter, pointing her wand at him playfully.

"If you don't stop laughing, I might have to curse you."

Sirius grins, looking at her mischievously.

"Know any good ones?"
"I know a few spells… but none that are going to work. Prue probably would have thrown you against a wall."

"Lucky me. Dating you would be much safer."

He claps his hand over his mouth, instantly regretting his words, and Phoebe walks up to him, holding the robe up to keep her from tripping over it.

"Are you sorry you said that?"

"I'm embarrassed."

"Don't be."

She stands on her toes, kissing him on his cheek.

"Let's see what happens."

He shakes his head, looking down into her eyes.

"It's not a good idea, Phoebe. I come with a lot of baggage."

"Maybe it's time you got someone to help you carry it."

He sighs, looking into her innocent brown eyes.

"It's not that simple."

"Sirius, I have baggage too."
"That's not the point… you're young… you deserve someone so much better."

She smiles, shaking her head.

"We need so much more time to talk about this. But I really like you. I don't think there are people who are… so much better than you."

He sighs, and she turns around, changing the subject.

"So what's up with Remus? He looks a little pale today…"

"Yeah… full moon tonight."

"So?"

"He's a…"

Sirius shakes his head, aware that he's almost told her Remus' deepest secret.

"He's a what?"

Sirius sighs.

"A werewolf."

"Oh."

He frowns when she shrugs.

"Most people go running and shouting."

"I'm not most people. Besides, I've been turned into a banshee. Worse things have happened."

"You've been a banshee?"

"Yeah, and Piper was a wendigo and Prue was a man. But I'll tell you all about that later. Now… we have another robe to fit!"

She winks at him before approaching Madame Malkin who has yet another robe in her hands.

"Wow… cauldrons, wolfsbane, mandrake roots, wormwood… This beats the hell out of Chinatown."

Tonks frowns, looking at her curiously.

"Chinatown?"

"Oh… where we do our witch shopping in San Francisco."

"Oh… Do you get robes and wands there?"

"No… no, only herbs and… stuff."

Tonks nods while Piper browses through the stacks, looking at it wide eyed.

"Oh, the potions you can make with this stuff!"

"So you're a good potion maker?"

Piper nods, smiling.

"Yeah… Prue and Phoebe are the butt kick witches. I just brew the potions."

Remus smiles, looking at her seriously.

"Potions is one of the important subjects at Hogwarts."

"Why couldn't I just teach that then?"

"Snape wouldn't have been pleased if he was coerced out of the Potions and Defence against the dark arts job!"

Piper frowns, her head shooting upwards to look at Remus.

"Snape taught Defence against the dark arts?"

"Well no. But he wanted to! Ever since I can remember. Dumbledore won't let him have the job though…"

"Oh."

Piper frowns, looking down again.

"I think I'll take these… just to be prepared. You never know what you need a potion for."

"True…"

Remus hands her a few golden coins, smiling when he sees her frown.

"Relax. Dumbledore gave it to me; I gave some to Prue and Phoebe as well. It's for your Hogwarts supplies. Trust me, you'll earn it once you're there!"

Piper smiles, taking the coins.

"It's going to feel weird without Leo though. But I guess they need him at St Mungo's."

"They certainly do! Especially now! His healing powers are immensely valuable."

Piper nods, smiling.

"I guess I can have my husband back when the war is over."
Tonks smiles, looking at Piper seriously.

"I know that feeling! Remus is almost always away, working for the Order. I keep wishing that it could just end!"

Remus smiles, kissing the top of Tonks' head.

"Almost, darling… I can't imagine it will go on much longer."

Tonks sighs, taking his hand.

"I hope you're right."

"What's going on here?"
Prue looks at the flustered group, a frown between her brows. Hermione shakes her head, looking angry.

"Just some kid from school and his father."

"What happened?"
Ron shrugs, wiping blood off his nose with his sleeve.

"He called Hermione a mudblood… so I… tried to kick his butt. But then his father came into it."

"A mudblood? What's that?"

Prue frowns and Fred takes it upon himself to answer, looking livid.
"It's a word… people like them… use to describe people from non-magic families. Like Hermione."

"Well that's rude."

Prue frowns and Hermione smiles, looking slightly bemused.

"Oh, come on. It's Draco Malfoy speaking, who is going to listen to him?"

"But Hermione…"

Hermione shakes her head, her eyes glistening upon Ron.

"It's fine. But thanks for defending me, Ron."

Ron grins, his ears reddening.

"It was nothing."

Prue lifts a brow, noticing the look between them immediately.

"Okay.. let's go pay for this!"

They fall in the paying line, directly behind Lucius and Draco. Ron groans, handing his books to Ginny before walking out without another word. Prue frowns, looking at the others.

"You guys go stay with him… Ginny, Harry and I can pay for this."

Fred, George and Hermione nod, walking out instantly. Lucius turns around, his eyes flickering when he sees Prue.

"Good morning."

She nods politely and he smirks, looking at Harry and Ginny behind her.

"I'm Lucius Malfoy. And this is my son, Draco."

Draco turns as well, smiling at Prue proudly.

"Pleased to meet you."

"Hi."

Draco kisses her hand gallantly, causing Harry and Ginny to snort. His blue eyes blaze into theirs for a second, but he looks back at Prue again, smiling smugly. Lucius lifts a brow, examining her.

"So what brings you to Flourish and Blotts?"

"Oh, just some Hogwarts shopping."

"I see. Are you sending a child to Hogwarts?"

"Eh, no… I'm going. As a teacher."

Draco grins immediately, his eyes shining.

"Which subject?"

"Defence against the dark arts."

"I'll see you in class then!"

Harry and Ginny share a look when Lucius immediately asks the question that had obviously been lying on his heart ever since he set his eyes on Prue.
"Are you pure blood?"

Prue glances at Harry over her shoulder and he steps forward to answer.

"Her mother was a witch. You can pay for your stuff now, Mr Malfoy."

Lucius sneers at him before nodding in Prue's direction and walking forward to pay. Prue turns to Harry, the question clear on her face.

"Malfoys. Death Eaters. Idiots. All in Slytherin."

"I see."

"Yeah, they have a pure blood thing. They think they are so much better than everyone else because they are pure blood. It's sickening."

Prue frowns and Ginny nods.

"Yeah, Draco is horrible! Arrogant and rude."
"Sounds like a real pleasure to have in class."
