Chapter 9
The next morning while everyone is sat at the table eating breakfast two owls comes through the window and land on the table, each with two letters. They land in front of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny who each tip the owls with a Galleon before they fly off again.
"No guesses as to what they are" said Mrs Weasley.
The four friends then open their letters to find that they contain the information they expected them to - equipment lists for their final year at Hogwarts. "Standard equipment really if you think about it. Standard Book of Spells grade 7 and Modern Magical History amongst other things" comments Hermione.
"So I guess a trip to Diagon Alley is in order" states Mr Weasley.
"I'll come as well so I can pick up a few supplies before I go back to Romania, plus I haven't been in ages" says Charlie.
"I will come as well, I need a new quill" adds Percy.
"Well I'm not gonna stay here by myself, I might as well come, it'll give me a chance to check on the shop" put in George.
"You don't have to do that if you don't want to, you know that don't you?" questions Ginny.
"Thanks Gin, but if I don't go, can you imagine what Fred would say, he'd say that I should get off my backside and get to work at the shop that Harry gave us the money for" said George.
Everyone in the room then looks at George in surprise and he then says "Oh shit".
"George, what do you mean Harry gave you and Fred the money for the shop?" inquires Molly Weasley.
"May I George?" asks Harry.
"Please" answers George.
"Mrs Weasley, I gave Fred and George my Triwizard winnings to help them start up the shop because, for one thing I didn't need it, thanks to my parents vault at Gringotts and also I knew they could do some good with it, by putting smiles on people's faces with each product on the shelves of the shop". explains Harry.
"Come on then, go get ready, we have some shopping to do" said a resigned Mrs Weasley and 15 minutes later all six Weasley's plus Harry and Hermione were ready to go to Diagon Alley.
