Chapter 29.
They were walking through Diagon Alley, and had stopped outside Flourish and Blotts, when suddenly Harry was tackled and saw it was Susan Bones.
Harry laughed. "Hey Susan." Susan looked up and smiled. "Hey Harry, so how did your time with Hermione go?"
Hermione looked at Susan. "You knew about what Fleur and Luna planned?"
Susan paled. "Slightly, Fleur could tell you wanted to be with Harry. I knew nothing of her plan."
Hermione glared at Fleur, who pretended to be innocent. Amelia walked up and looked at Harry and the others.
"Good day everyone, I received word from Sirius that you went to Gringotts. How did that turn out?"
No one looked thrilled. Harry looked at Amelia, "Madame Bones, there has been some disturbing discoveries. You will be getting a letter from the goblin's."
Amelia looked at Harry, knowing from the young wizard's demeanor it was serious.
"What kind of discoveries? and please Lord Potter you're bonded to Susan now, call me Amelia."
Hermione looked at Amelia. "Dumbledore has been making illegal withdrawals from my husband's school vault."
Amelia paled. "Mrs. Potter, I heard about it at the ministry and I congratulate you both on your marriage. Now, about the transactions, those are serious crimes and Goblins never joke about gold, so I will add it to Sirius's case."
Harry looked at madam Bones. "Amelia, I've been thinking that. What if I submitted my memories from third and fourth year? I have seen Pettigrew alive, Hermione and I were both there as the rat confessed to my parent's betrayal."
Amelia thought for a moment, amazed by Harry's actions; the boy showed great bravery.
"Yes, that will be very helpful Lord Potter. You may solidify your godfather's defense."
Harry smiled "Thank you Amelia and please call me Harry."
Amelia nodded and Susan looked at everyone. "Are you all school shopping too?"
The group nodded and Hermione looked at Susan. "Would you like to come join us? After we're done here in the Alley, we're going clothes shopping and Harry needs help picking out clothes."
Susan looked excited but then looked at Amelia. "Can I go please Aunty?"
Amelia frowned "I don't know Susan, looks like they will be busy already."
Remus looked at Amelia. "Oh Amelia, come on, Susan won't be any trouble at all. We can help her grab her school things. Even when the kids go muggle shopping, I won't be far behind so they will be protected."
Amelia shook her head and smiled. "Looks like my hands are tied. Susan, you can go but no magic and you listen to Remus."
Susan jumped, thanking her aunt over and over.
Amelia handed Susan money, both muggle and magical, and left with what already was purchased.
The group went to Madame Malkins while Remus and Alphonse went to the Three Broomsticks for a bite.
They walked in and saw Madame Malkins taking inventory as she quickly jotted down what materials were needed.
Fleur looked at Harry "Mon cher, while we're here, I suggest you get dress robes with your family's crest on them since you're a lord of house."
Harry nodded and called out, "Madame Malkin."
The woman quickly stood up and turned around. "Ah, welcome to my shop everyone. How can I be of service today?"
Harry smiled. "We're are in need of new school robes and I need new dress robes with my family's crest."
Madame Malkin jotted down the order, but looked at Harry. "I'm sorry dear, but dress robes with the family's crest is only for the head of house."
Harry raised his hand, revealing only the Potter house ring. Madame Malkin adjusted her glasses and inspected the ring.
"Lord Potter? Harry dear, I barely recognized you. You certainly have changed over the summer. I'll get onto your uniform and dress robes right away."
Hermione stepped up."Yes and I would like a new uniform too. My current ones not going to fit properly anymore. Also, can I get dress robes with the Potter crest as well?"
Madame Malkin frowned. "Oh dear, you and Harry would need to be married in order for you to wear those."
Hermione repeated her husband's action and shown Madame Malkin her ring. The woman was left speechless, Harry looked at Madame Malkin.
"I know word's flown around the Ministry already, but there's a few extra galleon if you keep this news on the down low."
Madame Malkin agreed and got Harry on the stool. She marveled at how much Harry had grown over the summer.
"Mr. Potter, you certainly have grown by leaps and bounds." Madame Malkin jotted down his measurements and then it was Hermione's turn to stand on the stool.
She quickly took a tape measure and went for the usual length requirements for the skirt and width for the shirt but she was surprised by Hermione change in bust size.
"Why Lady Potter, I see you have made some changes as well. I'm sure Lord Potter approves of the new assets."
Harry blushed as he thought about what Madame Malkin was referring to and remembered the events of last night.
The girls giggled as did Hermione. Hermione could see Harry's face was indeed red. "I haven't heard him complain."
"As he shouldn't dear, it's definitely given you a plus in your figure." Hermione thanked Madame Malkin and got down from the stool. Madame Malkin quickly wrote down Hermione's measurements then called the next one to stand up.
Luna got on the stool and Madame Malkin was surprised by Luna as well. "Ms. Lovegood, if you grow to have Lady Potter's figure, you will be beating the boys away with a broom."
Luna thanked her and Fleur got up on the stool and Madame Malkin this took her measurements and the two spoke quickly in French.
Then Susan stepped up, Madame Malkin marveled over Susan.
"Ms. Bones, you look magnificent, you are radiant."
Susan smiled. "Why thank you, Madame Malkin."
"Oh my goodness dear, I see boys knocking one another over to be around you."
Susan giggled. "Oh, I don't know about that."
Once Madame Malkin was finished gathering the measurements, Harry and the girls left the shop.
As they were walking out, Luna came out of the shop and wasn't watching where she was going and bumped into someone.
"Ow, sorry." Luna said picking herself off the ground.
"Why don't you watch where you're going or do your eyes not work."
Luna looked to see the glare she was getting from Draco Malfoy. Hermione turned to see Luna looking afraid and being shouted at.
Malfoy dusted himself off. "Oh well, if it isn't looney Lovegood, too busy wrapped up in your head chasing some made up creature. You and your father should be locked up in St. Mungos."
Hermione ran over to Luna and Malfoy, seeing Luna in tears. "What's going on here?" Hermione shouted.
Malfoy and Luna turned to see Hermione walking over "Luna are you alright?"
Luna was shaking and Hermione hugged her and looked at Malfoy. "Leave her be Malfoy."
Draco laughed. "Well mudblood, look at you, Glamour Charm or potion?"
Hermione frowned "Excuse me?"
"You certainly couldn't have changed so much naturally. So what was it? Actually, wait never mind let the school board deal with your underage magic."
Hermione was about to say something when Harry walked over. "Why don't you find something else to do other then run off that sorry mouth of yours Malfoy. "
Malfoy turned to see someone who looked familiar. Then he realized who it was.
"Ah scar head, I see the mudblood altered your looks as well, I barely recognized you. What are you doing with them Potty? Your just like your blood traitor father."
Suddenly the air began to kick up and blow violently. Harry grabbed his wand's handle "Don't test me Malfoy. Don't you know how to behave around your betters?"
"Betters? Don't make me laugh."
Hermione looked at Harry, she could feel his magic emanating over where they were standing. She looked at his wand, the tip glowing red hot.
Fleur and Susan ran over to where Harry was.
Susan looked at Malfoy. "Scion Draco Malfoy, constrain yourself. You dare speak out of turn to Lord Potter, the new head of one of the most ancient and most noble houses. You dare risk a challenge or blood feud."
Draco paled slightly, knowing he risked much if what Susan said was true.
Draco looked at Harry. "If what Bones says is true, reveal your ring. True heads of family wear their house's ring."
Harry revealed his head of house ring. Draco grew silent and turned away.
"Next time, watch where you're going."
Draco walked away.
Hermione let go of Luna, ready to give Draco a piece of her mind. All she heard was "No let him go."
Hermione turned. "But Harry…" Hermione saw Harry's wand was burned half way down its length.
Remus and Alphonse ran over. "We sensed magic, is everyone ok."
Harry sighed and showed Remus his wand. Remus looked at the wand. "This wand had been overloaded."
Alphonse looked at Harry. "This is too damaged to be repaired and needs to be replaced."
Remus looked at Harry and thought. 'Just how powerful are you Harry?"
Hermione looked at Harry "We need to go to Ollivanders."
Harry nodded "Yes and Lord Potter will be sending a word of warning to Lord Malfoy."
